Mr. Jones is modeled on Tsar Nicholas II (1868-1918)‚ the last Russian emperor. His rule (1894-1917)

Russia came to be because of a variety of different reasons. The revolution came about through a long phase of repression‚ unrest‚ and poverty for the average working-class Russian of the 20th Century.
