>did they do this with the consent of their peasants

What do you think?

>consent of their peasants
Using the historical method there's no instance of medieval russia (large generalization, but all those divided mongol vassal states or the free one's to the north west) to enlightenment era Russia having nobles or their relative term asking peasants for permission for anything


I don't have the numbers but I'd reckon a majority of peasants were serfs whose land was owned by some higher official

Do you really think the Russian nobles gave a shit about peasants?
Hundreds thousands of peasants died of starvation in 1812 because Tsar Alexander didn't want to abid to some obscure trade treaty (yeah the war wasnt about annexation or some movie-tier shit)

Russian nobility gave zero shit about their people.
That's why after centuries of being treated like dogs, they revolted in 1917 and tried to create an overly egalitarian society

...and succumbed to autocracy again.

Well that's because the revolution was sabotaged from the inside by Stalin, an autocrat of the highest caliber.

Trotsky was a monster in his own right. His USSR wouldn't have been that much better than Stalin's.

>>1702059
I doubt they cared about the serfs, considering that they didn't even care about their own wounded when they burnt down buildings with them inside.

Consent....lol

I believe that it would have been better. He was much more humble and servile, which would have stayed to to the Bolshevik principles of an eternally changing leadership.
