Bear in mind the Russian elite, the Russ Boyars of Viking descent were the ONLY ones who elected the Czar, when that was necessary.

What you call "the people" were Slavs, enslaved agricultural workers of various ethnicities who had been "owned by the land" for ten centuries.

Czar Alexander II freed the Slavs in 1861.

This ultimately led to the Bolsheviks in 1917 who created what they called their "pan-slavic society" aka universal slave culture. To industrialize Russia, Stalin re-instituted slavery with denounced people to be sentenced to labor camps building industrial infrastructure. With communism anyone could now become a slave.

When my great-grandmother was told her husband's grandfather, Alexander Herzen, had been the leading publisher with" Kolokol" promoting the freedom of her grandfather's Slavs, her only comment was, "He must have been a drinker."

My great-greatfarndfather on the right at his farm in 1914 speaking with the little tribal Slav chieftain on the left whose people were now working on the farm land as sharecroppers.

Vlad Putin's great-greatgrandparents were slavs on the Yakovlev family farms in Tula. Now he's running amok poisoning Russian citizens with pesticides and having them pushed out of tall buildings. Not a good outcome.
