Was Czar Nicholas 2 a tyrant or a bad leader?

His own people came to view him as a tyrant.He was basically a victim of that fatal occurrence which comes to most empires: too many incompetent people rise to positions of power and influence at the same time,thereby murdering the nation they claim to serve.(Americans take note.)The best answers to your questions can be found by closely watching two rather long movies-Nicholas & Alexandra and Doctor Zhivago.
