There was one time when I watched a mini series about Russian Revolution on some weird channel that was in English, had not many subscribers but had superb visuals, clearly Russian-sponsored. One thing which surprised me how in that series Tsar was defined as a good guy that was slowly evolving society before the revolution (which actually is true to some extent AFAIK), but completely forgetting horrible stuff he and previous monarchs have done.

Now when I think about it, it might have been some anti-revolution propaganda, made solely just to discourage any revolution of the current system.
