If you are referring to the Russian Pillars of Autocracy then the pillars are:

· Civil Service: tens of thousands of workers organised into ranks from government ministers to minor officials such as post office workers, customs inspectors. Collected taxes, made sure Tsars ordered were carried out throughout Russia, no power for decisions so had approval from St. Petersburg. Civil servants poorly paid, bribery and corruption common at all levels.

· The Army: Used by Tsar to maintain power. In times of famine or severe discontent, riots, strikes and protests were dealt with by the army. Cossacks were loyal to the Tsar, ferocious soldiers used sabres to slaughter anyone rioting.

· Okhrana (Secret Police):Spied on suspected opponents of the regime, even on the royal family, infiltrated revolutionary organisations, they censored books and newspapers, those arrested could face flogging, fines or exile to Siberia.

· The Russian Orthodox Church: Taught people to be loyal to the Tsar and Autocracy, tsar was head of the church, peasants were god fearing, lower level priests, poorly paid and disliked as they demanded money from peasants.

1How did Nicholas II feel about democracy?

When Nicholas was young he was tutored by Konstantin Pobedonostsev. Pobedonostsev taught Nicholas that autocracy was the only possible government for imperial Russia. Nicholas took his lessons to heart. When it came to Nicholas' reign (1894-1917) He was suspicious of any change and therefore, until forced to during the 1905 revolution, did not extend political rights of anybody in Russia for fear that his own posistion would be threatened. He had no interest in democracy, and thought an autocratic government was the only one by which to rule.

Counterculture in 1970's?

The counterculture of the 1970s was focused on breaking down traditional pillars, and stressing nonconformity. In many cases those involved in the counterculture were young people under thirty. They marched and pushed for civil rights, rejecting the previously established racial separation many of their parents had believed in. They overwhelmingly opposed the Vietnam War, and believed the country was coming close to nuclear annihilation. Anti-materialism, sexual freedom, women's and gay rights were all part of the counterculture.


What is hazarduari?

The Hazarduari Palace in Murshidabad (West Bengal) was designed in 1837 by General Duncan McLeod of the Bengal Engineers for Murshidabad's Nawab Najim Humayun Jah. An imposing three-storied rectangular building, it lies amidst sprawling gardens (covering a total of 41 acres) and is a fairly unblemished example of Italian-style architecture. The palace consists of 8 galleries and 114 rooms, with a colonnaded façade, a domed tower, high windows, beautifully ornate pillars and more, all of it a befitting venue for the Nawab's durbar, which was held here. The Hazarduari was also used as a residence by the Nawabs and by high-ranking British officials.
