«I’m looking at it this way» — during one of the interrogations, Ungern expressed his views on the role of the monarch and the aristocracy: «The tsar must be the first democrat in the state. He should stand above the classes, acting as a mediator between the existing class factions. The common view of the aristocracy is also incorrect; it has always been somewhat oppositional. History shows us that it is primarily the aristocracy that has killed tsars.
The real issue is the bourgeoisie. It can only drain the state’s resources, and it has led the country to its current state. The tsar must rely on the aristocracy and the peasantry.»
