Why did Tsarism survive between 1881-1905?

1. Opposition

   • There were only 4 main opposition groups
   • Heavily targeted by the Okhrana
   • The groups were split and so meant that they could easily be dispersed if caused any trouble
   • Some groups supported the Tsar to a certain extent, e.g. Liberals

2. Repression

   • Okhrana - scared people into loyalty to the Tsar
   • Autocracy society and so there was little movement for revolution, without being persecuted
   • Increased central control where the Tsar exploited and demonstrated his authority
