Not sure if this is allowed, if not just take it down.
What changed about Tsarist Russia in terms of autocracy and reactionary nature in the late 1800s to early 1900s.
So far I've written about political class divide and the backwards economy leading to class divides, Central leadership (in particular the Duma), and Ideological control - rrelating to the poeple's will etc, but I'm running out of ideas. Can anyone help or provide a good secondary source of information I can use?
Thanks

I recommend looking at Peter Waldron's Governing Tsarist Russia, especially the chapter 'The Ideology of Tsarism'. Unfortunately it's been a while since I looked at the topic, so I can't help much more than that.
