Imagine if one of Trump's kids became a king. The guy was incredibly lazy and spoiled. He spent his time taking strolls around his royal duck pond and getting drunk on sherry. Just an overall dull person who responded to every letter asking for orders with a "yeah ok do whatever."
He was the last king of Russia before getting overthrown by a coalition. There's a transcript of a phone call when coalition soldiers started capturing St. Petersburg where a Russian army captain is trying to tell Nic II there's just no guys left. Nic II is saying something like "just get more troops, we have a lot, right?" and the army guy is like "We don't have anyone left to spare"
The Bolsheviks gained most of their initial popularity through protesting WW1. They were the anti-war organization. Tsar Nicolas II was callous and didn't care
It's something I vaguely remember from Trotsky's book "History of the Russian Revolution." I don't remember exactly where it's brought up, probably the earlier chapters. It might have been a telegram too, something like that.

Do you have a source on the phonecall thing? That's hilarious and I want it to be true so much.
