Question

Why don't the Russian people restore the czar, as a constitutional monarch?

Answer 1

The Russian Politician's don't want too.

Answer 2

I think we made it pretty clear in 1917 that we don't want them. What works for Britain, won't necessarily work for Russia. Who needs a fat, ignorant fool that gets paid to just BE there?

Answer 3

Because they prefer democracy

Answer 4

What valid reason would they possibly have for wanting a czar again?  Seriously?

Answer 5

Have you ever heard of Rory, Baron Sligo?

Answer 6

That's all they need, right?...some expensive royals with no job!!!  

A smarter idea would be to make a Czar wrestling-buddy punch toy, to hit whenever they need a scape goat,

Answer 7

Because anyone who was related to the Czar, therefore heir to the Russian Throne, was killed in the Russian Revolution of 1917, so no-one has the right to rule now.

Answer 8

Politicians don't want to share the public's attention with a Monarch. President Putin is power hungry and his rule is becoming more and more autocratic. A constitutional Monarch would stop his abuse of power.

The Russian people never had a say in what kind of government they wanted. After the Tsar abdicated in 1917 there has never been a referendum on the question of a republic or Monarchy in this beautiful country.

A constitutional Monarchy would help to establish democratic institutions in Russia.

Is Mr. Putin interested in that?
