Question

A. The church was the most important fixture in Russian life and people followed it more than the tsar
B. The tsar had to repeatedly work to remove all people who seemed to be obstacles to his rule.
C. The tsar was head of the empire and the most powerful but he had to work with others to achieve political control.
D. The yasak tribute system was a very ineffective method of political control because it did not benefit the empire

Answer 1

The investigation of Russian imperial methods of political control reveals:

C. The tsar was head of the empire and the most powerful but he had to work with others to achieve political control.

This statement reflects the complexity of governance in the Russian Empire, where the tsar held ultimate authority but required collaboration with various institutions and local leaders to effectively manage the vast territories and diverse populations.

While the other statements touch on aspects of Russian society and governance, they are less encapsulating of the broader political dynamics at play during the imperial period.
