Unfortunately, Nick the Bloody is getting commemorated pretty hard. There’s a whole museum about him in Ekaterinburg, his supposed burial site is now a pilgrimage site. There are several exhibitions in Crimea in the palaces, including the one that housed the Yalta Conference - you know, the one that defined the world’s affairs after WW2?
Although amusingly, almost all of those museums don’t really talk about his achievements, even imaginary. They are almost universally centered around a single fact of his biography - execution. That’s right, even as far as Empire simps are concerned, the most important thing Nick has ever done was dying.
Has there ever been a state with such a chaotic mix of basedness and cringiness as present day Russia?
You tell me. Been living here all my life and the cringe seems to only grow each day, as the Soviet base is dwindling
Came to write this, he’s even fucking saint of orthodox church, something that is as of yet not explained by the christian “marxists” in terms other than sectarian bickering.
As a christian ‘‘marxist’’ I can tell you the very simple reason inbred nicky was canonized: reactionary propaganda. A bunch of bigots in funny hats don’t decide who gets into Heaven
Excatly the same amount of people as getting into hell.
That’s right, even as far as Empire simps are concerned, the most important thing Nick has ever done was dying.
I mean…what beneficial things did Nicky has done anyway?
Made the conditions terrible enough for a revolution to bloom? /S
No idea, really. The empire simps might name something or other, but I can’t. And most of it has been done by other people, anyway - i.e. Stolypin. Nick was just utterly useless, even as a reactionary.
Oh yes Stolypin, he did plenty including so much executions of revolutionaries to be called Wieszatiel and causing kulak epidemic to defuse peasant revolution and create reactionary subclass of peasants.
I didn’t say what he did was anything good or progressive, rather than he did something. Can’t say the same for Spineless Nick. We’re talking about a guy who asked not to interrupt his tea time, when a servant reported to him about mass public unrest
Agree, that was also Lenin’s opinion, he noted few times that while tsar was unrivalled in entire contemporary Europe for bloodshed and tyranny, everything he did was to make people hate him even more, and real counterrevolutionary work was always done by the Stolypin, Pobedonostsev, Durnovo etc.
Also lenin is very iconic, you could get a child to blind draw him and you’ll still know who he is
Edit: my dyxlesyc ass wrote staling bruh
But AI engines somehow can’t get him right. There is so many pics and portraits of Lenin in the internet and even carricatures most often look like him, but AI on several sites always do this:
Bro that’s Steven saegal
Holy shit you’re right. Someone with hand in this AI was downright nasty.
I need Lenin’s drip in my life. His love for cats makes me cry 😭
Also all I know about Nick is from the movie Anastasia, IRL some women pretended to be Anastasia, and that people on twitter think he’s a good dad, whatever that means. His daughter is more famous than he is lmao
