The Tsarists have the opportunity to restore order to Russia and the monarch, but the questions of how, when, and where are up for debate. The Bolsheviks, Mensheviks, and the Anarchists plan on starting a revolution against the Tsarists and their agenda.
With World War I and some complications with the monarchy, the Tsarists supposedly wished to restore order to Russia. However, this so-called “noble” act is laced with a superiority complex.
The Tsarists are trusted with the complex issue of restoring Russia’s government. Unfortunately the Tsarists focus on sending love letters and fragrant power grabs instead.
One man in particular seems to be basing his choices on nothing but himself.
Who is the man behind these immature decisions? Anton Denikin, the head of the anti-bolshevik forces. When he was asked, “Who do you believe can be trusted with power and leadership?” Denikin responded with “Me and Kolchak”. Though this may sound like a man standing up for not only himself but others, it can be assured that he is not.
While the facade of his supposed considerate actions began to slip, the truth of this egomaniacal caricature began to show. When he was faced with the question “What is the plan if revolution ever were to occur?” He fired back “Me in power, me, me, me, me, me… We’re making a plan for that right now.” How could someone who supports a group that claims to want to restore order to Russia answer with such selfish replies? It seems as though the Revolutionists, specifically the Bulsheviks have an edge simply based on the babbling of Denikin.
Since this is such a pressing matter, the same questions were reused, and when compared to the answers from Denikin, Bolshevik politician, journalist, and writer Fyodor Raskolnikov seems to have the educated answers mastered, seeming oddly running circles around Denikin. Now what could this mean for Tsaristadherentst?
If an avid supporter of the Tsarists were to be made aware of the things that this so-called well-informed leader was saying, what would they then think? Could you blame them for changing their opinion because the previous one had been hindered by the boozehound of a man who is supposed to have all of the answers to help the people the cause is fighting for. What would this mean for the internal stability of Russia?
