Together, the attack on police headquarters and soldiers' mutiny weakened which structure of Tsarism?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Structure of repression and military control
Tsarist rule depended heavily on coercive institutions, especially the police, the army and the officials who enforced royal orders. An attack on police headquarters disrupted the machinery of repression, while soldiers’ mutiny weakened the military force that could have been used to suppress demonstrations. Therefore option A is correct. The combined events represented a breakdown in the state’s capacity to control the capital. They did not primarily concern agricultural production, foreign trade or religious education. Once both police authority and military obedience were damaged, the foundations of Tsarist rule became extremely fragile.
