In a military sense he was woeful. With the sheer size of the Russian army they should've been able to crush everything in sight, as it was they barely managed to win a war against Finland.

He was cruel, oppressive, insecure and daft as a brush. Nobody in Russia was sorry to see the back of him.

Im not saying he was a saint or what he did was right for anyone. Youre right, of couse he could have done a lot better for Russia, but he did bring her up to the modern age of industry at the time.

Im not defending him at all, I agree that things would have been a hell of a lot better without him, I just wanted to say that he wasnt completely incompetent.
