It is said that Nicholas proved unequal to the combined tasks of managing a country in political turmoil and commanding its army in the largest international war to date.

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.
Why was the Russian Imperial family murdered?
If you are a revolutionary planning to seize control of a country and change everything that currently exists, you must eliminate the possibility of returning to the old ways. The only way to prevent a return to the autocratic rule of the Tsars was to eliminate them all, the Tsar, and all heirs and potential heirs to the throne. The killing of the Romanovs was a political necessity of the time if Russia was to become a "workers" state. Although it has been a point of debate ever since 1918, and many books have been written and movies made on the subject, it has now been conclusively proven by DNA evidence that Tsar Nicholas II, Tsarina Alexandra, their four daughters and one son, and a number of other people, were all killed and the bodies burned. Fortunately, many of the Romanov relatives outside the immediate family escaped Russia to other countries where their descendants still live now. Tsar Nicholas II, Tsarina Alexandra and their five children were canonised by the Russian Orthodox Church in 2000, without opposition.

Who led the Decembrist Revolution and what did they want?
The Decembrist Revolution occurred in Russia after Tsar Alexander I died and it was kind of a competition for power and the position of the Tsar. It was not really lead by any one person, it was a bunch of people each trying to gain power for themselves. The revolution ended when Tsar Alexander I's relative, Tsar Nicholas I, took his place as the tsar of Russia. Tsar Nicholas I was very conservative in his rule to try and stop revolts such as the Decembrist Revolution from happening again. I hope this helped!
