If only Nicholas had just become a constitutional monarch.  Things would be a lot better now.
Yeah, if they had just had a Magna Carta moment in the 1910's instead, the entire course of the 20th and 21st centuries would probably be changed for the better.

I've wondered why Russia even bothers to retain their current facade of democracy.  They might as well just get rid of voting and their pathetic legislature, and make Putin their Tsar.  What difference would it make?

You're being a bit too simplistic. Even in an authoritarian system, "elections" are a useful tool for plausible deniability and to test where the political winds are going.

Hell, even North Korea has "elections."
They're a Democratic People's Republic, don't you know?
