Russia becomes a monarchy after the fall of the soviets how would it change history?
Considering the screwup that was Nicholas II's reign and over half a century of communist propaganda, there's no way Russia's going to become a monarchy again, not even a constitutional one
I'm sure I saw an article about Putin supporting a restoration a few months back
There is bound to be other statistics on that the matter
Maybe a gradual restoration of the monarchy, starting of as a Nationalist symbol and slowly becoming once again a legal entity
Reading that article, it looks far from proposing a reinstitution of the monarchy. They talk about bringing THEM back to Russia (both pretenders), and giving them an old palace. This sounds more like an 'Imperial Theme Park' to me than 'Restoration of Monarchy'.

Only 28% of Russians support or would not oppose a monarchy. 67% are opposed. 82% support the current republican constitution.
I'd think the Russian government would need to screw up really badly for a restoration to happen.
Maybe Zyuganov wins the 1996 presidential election, and somehow manages to govern worse than Yeltsin. In the end, both the communists and United Russia are discredited, and there is growing support for some monarchist party.
United Russia did not exist until 2001 (or 1999 at the earliest if you count from the founding of the U.R.'s predecessor party).Maybe Zyuganov wins the 1996 presidential election, and somehow manages to govern worse than Yeltsin.
