They were. Russia between 1905 and 1914 was developing faster than at any point under Bolsheviks.

I guess I struggle to see pre-socialist Russia as better than modern Russia, unless we’re merely looking at trajectory.
In quality, not in quantity. Most people were illiterate and rural, but those who were literate had better quality of that literacy, so to say. Among those capable of touching power it was more decentralized, however strange that would seem. Quality of those people was better too, it wasn’t an organized mafia group. They had professors in the parliament and they didn’t have thieves there.
Interesting, I’ll have to read up on pre-Soviet Russia then. I also don’t know to what extent Putin’s power is limited. If you have any resources comparing modern Russia to pre-Soviet Russia, I’d be interested in reading more.

To no extent, but it’s more of a gang than a monarchy.
I’ll look for them, what I say is a digest of a lot of little things learned, so.
