    Not really, Russia went from an empire with kings /queens into a revolution into a “communjst” dictatorship.

    China was similar but I think had a step in the middle, hence the split with Taiwan.

      A monarchy is a dictatorship. It’s literally someone with absolute authority dictating how what happens in a country.
