How to approach: The ruling classes of Russia have only themselves to blame for their demise (early 20 cent)?

Answer 1

Nicholas and Alexandra had become so removed from not only the people, but their advisors and counselors. Their child's hemophilia, the sway held by Rasputin, and their denial about the country's conditions led to their downfall. And as the power vacuum increased, so did the anarchy among the lesser royals.

Excessive taxes, a laughable justice system, land-grabbing, famine, public demands for a greater say in government went ignored.

Of course, the end for the royals was already in sight, but N&A hastened the end with their lack of leadership.

Answer 2

There are 2 approaches. 1 is to look at each issue. Such as system of governance, chances in the world and russian economies and so on. Then give a conclusion.

The other, often easier way, is to write some points agreeing with this and some points disagreeing with it. Then write your conclusion.

Answer 3

-inequalities of wealth
-refusal to share power
-slow pace of reform
-failure of liberalism
