Restoration of the Russian monarchy

A Restoration of the Russian monarchy is an hypothetical event in which the Russian monarchy, which has been non-existent since the abdication of the reigning Nicholas II in 1917 and the massacre of him and the rest of his closest family in 1918, is reinstated in today's Russian Federation. The only party as of today which advocates such a restoration is the Monarchist Party.

Most proposals for the restoration of the monarchy envisions the return to be to a constitutional role.

A study conducted by the All-Russian Center for Public Opinion showed that almost one third of the Russian population favor a restoration as of 2013.[1]

The restoration has been proposed by, among others, Vladimir Petrov, a politician of the ruling United Russia and affiliate of President Vladimir Putin.[2] Prominent politician, LDPR ruler Vladimir Zhirinovsky, is also known to express such ideas.[3]

There are numerous predictions of Russian Orthodox prophets that foresee future monarchy in Russia.[4]
