Can't understand this para of history chap 2 class 9

Dear Student,
The paragraph tells about how the first World War expanded and continued in Russia. The important points to remember in this paragraph are- 
- Nicholas II was devoid of support from people and the government when he refused to consult the elected legislature, which is also called Duma. 
- There was a rise of sentiments against Germany and everything related to it. The renaming of St. Petersburg was an example of this anti-German notion of people. 
- Alexandra was originally from Germany. Her origins and her poor advisory roles in the government were the reasons for the decline of Tsar Nicholas II's autocracy.  

Hope this helps.

Regards
