The tsar's wife, Empress Alexandra, played a significant but controversial role during the Russian Revolution. Her strong influence over Tsar Nicholas II, particularly through her reliance on the mystic Rasputin, alienated many in the military and political circles. Alexandra's German heritage and perceived detachment from the struggles of the Russian people further fueled public discontent. Ultimately, her role contributed to the growing unrest that led to the abdication of the tsar in 1917.

Why was Nicholas ii the last tsar?

As a result of the first Russian Revolution in 1917, the monarchy was overthrown and the position of Tsar was abolished. Since no later Tsars came to power, Nicholas was the last one. Nicholas II, with his wife and all five of his children were killed by the Bolsheviks during or shortly after the October (Communist) Revolution in Russia, so the primary claimants to the throne were no longer available to be restored by a counter-revolution, had one occurred.

I think that she was pretty evil because she played a huge role in the Cultural Revolution and she was Mao's wife. Also, she became a "mastermind" of the Cultural Revolution and her "cliques" were most of the blame for the devastation of the Cultural Revolution. And she was also arrested.
