Russia is exhausting

I have been studying like mad for my midterm in Modern Russia tomorrow. I find the subject pretty interesting, but it's exhausting.

It's also no wonder why those poor russian serfs were so fed up with their lot in life that they decided to rebel against the ancient regime and, well, also kill the ancient regime.

Nicholas II and Alexandra never saw it coming. It just goes to show you when you oppress massive amounts of people long enough, they'll eventually go violent on you. The depressing state of affairs in Russia from 1850-1920 is exhausting.
