She should've known better. At best, she said and said nothing. At worst she supported their bigotry and heavy handedness. Note how her husband and son governed the Russian multitudes with no regard for their health, happiness and prosperity, living like God Kings in medieval feudalism, periodically sending millions of peasants to the meat-grinding cauldron of European wars.
It's no mystery that.(prominent Jewish Banker, Philanthropist) Jacob Schiff floated the Japanese bonds that helped them crush the Russians in 1905.
Also of little wonder why so many Jews took up Socialist and Zionist causes. It's true that certain Jews (i.e. Sverdlov, Yurovsky) had a part in the execution of "Bloody Nicholas" and his family, but at that stage no place was safe for them in Russia, which is why they Kerensky couldn't simply send them over the Finnish border from Petrigrad; even the workers in Ekaterinburg tried to lynch the royal family, ironically being saved by their bolshevik captors at the train station.
What is the price for millions of peasants and Jewish deaths, their pogroms, torture, and suffering he was responsible for?
Alexander III and Dagmar sowed the wind and reaped the whirlwind.
