2. There are many examples in the history of Russia where rights have been abused or ignored. For example, after the Russian Revolution of 1917 the family of Nicholas II and Nicholas himself were killed by the bolsheviks. Another example is Decembrist revolt of 14 December, 1825 when many people died in Saint Petersburg on Senate Square by tsar's soldiers.
