He was respected because he was a ruthless leader who shouldn't be messed with. He didn't respect his people at all, Russian workers toiled for 7 hours a day while being constantly watched with no breaks even after serfdom has been abolished, hanged people who slightly questioned his rule, commanded his guards to fire on peaceful protesters and many other fucked up shit. Also after his guards shot those protestors, people got pissed so as a responsible caring leader he created a group to "prevent" that. It was so good that he still had full-power and could tell them to fuck off at any time he wanted. Unlike Vladimir Lenin who never cared for personal gains, something which every single one of his enemies admitted too. He worked tirelessly until his too early death. The tsar helped Serbs in WW1 but at the same time oppressed the Russian people.
