the monarchy [Theme] Page 3

I belong to the monarchy and the aristocracy as to the curve at the nose of Britain. Foreigners find our old folly is peculiar, we consider their ludicrous and determined to find some time to get rid of them. I'm afraid when we get rid of them, and I suppose we do that, we have to experience deep psychological shock, coupled with the discovery that we do not become one iota more free and an ounce more equitable in public regard than, say, France or the United States.

The essence of the European idea of liberation was to ensure that the person is a slave of the absolute state embodied in the monarch, turned into a slave of the absolute state embodied in the people...

Yes, in the Soviet Union was bad, but a lot of good. The villains-Bolsheviks at least three great achievements, caught in the teeth of the monarchy: fed the hungry, taught the illiterate and defeated German imperialism.

A true monarchy is Russia, because without a true "absolute monarchy" is no "great Russia".

Nothing has stained the life and good fame of our monarchs, as excess: it is the most poisonous source of injustice and cruelty.

The monarch must be above the charges of cruelty necessary to the security of the country and a private person. It should be in flesh and blood, without flinching, to strike even the very nearest, if they are guilty.

Russian without Orthodoxy is rubbish, and not man.

The smaller concerns are expresses the person of the monarch, the more respect he inspires his enemies.

<...> Russia is without a king can not exist; but we must remember that there is one king to rule such a country as Russia can not: it is necessary once for all to learn, and, consequently, the existence of the Ministry with one head and the chambers are absolutely necessary.

We are good citizens amused
And the shameful pillar
The guts of the last priest
The last king snake.

In the house of Romanov... the mysterious curse passes from generation to generation. Murder, adultery, blood and mud... Peter the great killed his son; Alexander I of his father; Katherine II killed her husband. And besides these great and famous victims there are miserable, unknown and unhappy abortions of the autocracy... suffocated like mice in dark corners, in the dungeons of the Schlusselburg fortress. Scaffold, rope and poison - these are the true symbols of the Russian autocracy. The anointing on the brow of kings is truly a mark of Cain.

... the inevitability of the transformation of the Patriarch, the despot.

Any monarchy, even the most reasonable, and any aristocracy, even the most modest offensive. But if you were born and raised under the rule of the monarchy and aristocracy, you never guess about offending his position, and would not believe if somebody will tell you about it.

The main business of the ruler is to help those in need.
