Bruce Lincoln gives up a more nuanced narrative. Both Nicholas and his older brothers were in their twenties when faced with an impossible job. Nicholas had first to face a revolt and in one part of it, if the Decembrists knew who was directing them to the square, he would have been shot. He was brave, handsome, and convinced, maybe as a result of the bloodbath in France at the hands of the Jacobins, that Russia was not ready for that and needed a firm hand. But he was an organizer who also understood that the government needed a system, too. And he also wanted to know what the failing s were and indeed, kept a copy of the digest of the interviews of the Decembrists on his desk all through his reign. As I worked my way through this after reading the biography of his older brother, Alexander I, it really hit me that none of these people with few exectio0ns ruled longer than 30 years. The job is just too demanding. They also kept long hours and literally wore themselves out. Nicholas I was so worn down physically and mentally by the time he hit 58 that he was killed by a common cold. In the meantime, he devised a system to rule the country that remained until the revolution. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Informative but repetitive *by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2020* I am a layperson trying to learn more about Russian history. I think the author was well researched and has a nice narrative style for writing history. Unfortunately, I feel the author ruins his narrative style by repeating points, often even literally repeating entire supporting quotations, throughout the book. It's as if the author thought I didn't get it the first time. Good author, but needs an editor. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/14517788-nicholas-i-emperor-and-autocrat-of-all-the-russias-niu](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/14517788-nicholas-i-emperor-and-autocrat-of-all-the-russias-niu) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
