• Was Ivan the Terrible Really a “Mad Butcher?” • Wasn't Emperor Paul a “monster?” • Was Tsarist rule completely “unlimited?” • Was the peasantry under serfdom oppressed? • Who financed the Bolsheviks? • Did the Tsars really represent the Russian people? • Where did Russian Liberalism actually come from? Just in time for the 300th anniversary of Petrograd, a new book on pre-Bolshevik Russian history has been published in English. It is a defense of royalism from Kievan Rus' until the abdication of Tsar Martyr Nicholas II at the end of World War I. For English speaking readers, it is the only published account of Tsarist Russia that succeeds in demolishing the arguments of the kept Anglo-American historians on the “evils” and “tyranny” of the Tsarist government. This work is a concise defense of Tsarism and the notion of Orthodox Russia. Just after the “History Channel's” hatchet job on the Romanovs recently ran on American television, referring to the Tsars as “butchers” and “tyrants,” this new book could not be more useful.
