Talk:Russia (From Sea to Shining Sea)

Contradictory narration
Is Russia a republic or monarchy? (Text)... Tsar Nicholas II ratified a revised version of the Fundamental Laws of the Russian Empire, forcing him to share political power with a parliament. This document turned Russia into a constitutional monarchy... The Russian Empire was later renamed the "Republic of Russia" by Lenin in 1911, and later changed to the "Democratic Republic of Russia" by Trotsky in 1925. On September 5, 1905, the Treaty of Portsmouth was signed, ending the Russo-Japanese War. Under pressure from the Duma, the Tsar implemented socialist policies intended to help the workers and peasants of Russia, with the hope of lowering dissent. '''Lenin formally abolished the title of “Emperor and Autocrat of All the Russias” and limited the Tsar's power to that of a figurehead. The Tsar continually vetoed Lenin's decisions in an attempt to retain power''', but each of his vetoes were overridden by parliament. (end text). --JorgeGG (talk) 17:46, March 29, 2018 (UTC)
