Would you classify Czar Nicholas II of Russia as a mass murderer?

[Kingpoleon]

My client pleads not guilty of all charges, excepted insofar as they may be judged under his gross incompetence and mental instability.

[Kingpoleon]

Yes, of course. There were worse monarchs at the time (Leopold and his treatment of Congo to give an example) and I wouldn't exactly characterize Nicholas II as bloodthirsty, but yes.

This is just me, but a mass murderer typically has some degree of competence. Also, Nicholas II was very benevolent to the Poles.

[Kingpoleon]

Yes, I would
Lenin is far worse than him though.

And Stalin?

In America, the only leaders viewed remotely favorably by most people are Gorbachev, Yeltsin, and Khrushchev.
