| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. Other than the upcoming 105th Anniversary of Nicholas' abdication, dunno why this is coming up in Russian press. Opinion: "Nicholas II lost everything that was created by his predecessors" [REGNUM] Many decisions of Nicholas II as emperor became fatal mistakes, however, Sergei Kosinov , head of the Just Russia faction in the Legislative Assembly of the Rostov Region, considers his canonization to be a saint . "Nicholas II didn’t follow his relatives a bit and didn’t understand a lot. He lost everything that was created by his predecessors, due to a character that was too soft. And, of course, it was wrong to make those rash decisions that led to disastrous consequences," the source of the REGNUM news agency believes . As REGNUM reported , representatives of the investigative committee of Russia ruled out the possibility of saving one of the members of the royal family. All 11 people (Nikolai Romanov, his wife, their children and relatives) were shot on the night of July 17, 1918 in the Ipatiev house in Yekaterinburg. On August 14, 2000, at the bishops' council of the Russian Orthodox Church, the royal family was canonized as holy new martyrs. In March 2022, it will be 105 years since the abdication of Nikolai Romanov from the throne, and in April - 110 years since the Lena massacre, when, according to various estimates, from 150 to 270 people were killed by bullets from government troops. “There are much fewer pluses in the reign of Nicholas II than minuses” - opinion [REGNUM] In the reign of the Russian Empire, Nicholas II had much less advantages. than cons. His actions led the country to disaster. Such an opinion in a conversation with a REGNUM correspondent was expressed by a graduate of the history department of the Orenburg State Pedagogical University, who wished not to disclose personal data. "For his time, he was a weak ruler. Under him, many negative events took place, which ultimately dragged the country into a civil war, and a monstrous split occurred. As he ruled Russia, this led, in principle, to a disaster. I am against the canonization of the image of Nicholas II," said the interlocutor. Recall that on August 14, 2000, at the Bishops' Council of the Russian Orthodox Church, the royal family was canonized. In modern Russia, the crimes committed during the reign of Nicholas II are rarely remembered. In March 2022, it will be 105 years since the abdication of Nikolai Romanov from the throne, and in April - 110 years since the Lena massacre, when, according to various estimates, from 150 to 270 people were killed by bullets from government troops. |
