Monarchist, Imperialist. Read Russian Revolution: A new history/The last tsar: Nicholas his reign and his Russia/The Romanov Royal Martyrs before engaging
Hmm I wonder what happened in the quaint grey area there, I bet Christians went over with bouquets of flowers to peacefully propose that they convert to Christianity!

Not a monopoly in the common sense, but they have practically complete dominance over the market(but that is far more common than people think) and are always in the talk and I really dont want to debate the intricacy of the word "Monopoly" when most people get the basic idea.
The idea that Russia would not have "industrialized" without the Bolsheviks is such a ridiculous notion.
Everything pointed to the fact that the Imperial Economy would have been BETTER.
Yes, I know about GOG. It's nice, but a single exception wont prove that the rest arent bad. If most people agree with you that GOG is good(I am one of them), then they are probably the exception to calling all the others "shit".
I’ll have to teach you how your religion works myself:
Islam’s story is focused on a successful conquering Warlord
Buddhism on a jolly wise man
But, Christianity is focused on a soulful man who gets betrayed and beaten to a pulp
Christ is a victim, a prey animal, a loser
Young russian girl refuses to go into a shopping mall with her parents because there are too many "churki" (a slur against people from the Caucasus). Racism has always been a problem in russia and it has now gotten 100x worse.
This whole image is very illustrative of his complete and utter wrongness(though to be fair to him, that is a case of western writings on Nicholas perpetuating this lie).
Though for something more specific to oversimplified, is the case of presenting the unwillingness-
"Jokes" aside, he "starts" his whole presentation about the Character as Nicholas completely wrong.
Or his presentation of the whole of the 19th century Russia in the beginning.
"Russia's Backwardness had been uncovered"
A sentence you can read in the 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th, 21st century, but somehow Russia is still here.

Russia demolishes the houses that Russia destroyed in Mariupol. Russia has no right to touch anything in Mariupol. Russia is trying to destroy evidence of Russian war crimes.
It will never stop being funny that Poles pretend that Russia celebrates "independence from Poland and Lithuania" because they "captured" Moscow during complete Anarchy in Russia and then got ousted by a bunch of Peasants hastily organized and armed.
Polish Hetman Stanisław Żółkiewski captured Moscow on October 8th 1610 and occupied it for two years.
He was the only military commander to ever capture and hold the Russian capital.
To this day, on November 4th, Russia celebrates its independence from Poland and Lithuania.
Nicholas II wasn't a "chad." And the fact that close to half of Nicholas II's "chad" traits are related to aesthetics demonstrates how shallow most monarchists' perception of the world is.
Also, Nicholas II very much did not almost win WWI. 1/3
You eat better food than kings did a few hundred years ago. A high school education (not to mention college) is orders of magnitude more education than 99% of people got.
We are so much freer, healthier, wealthier, more educated & more equal now that it's hard to put into words.
It was called "The Grand Duchy of Moscow", because it had been a single part making up the former Rus state, once a lot of the Rus land had been recovered the title was changed from Grand Duke/Prince of Moscow to Tsar of All Rus.
Peter later changed the title later to-
LMFAO you've never been Rus' your name was Muscovite Principality, later Muscovite tsardom which changed to All-Russian Empire ‘cause you captured Kyiv and appropriated the name Rus' after reading it in Greek, Russia
There's your 400-year-old deception.
Rus' was only Ukraine.

Russia is on the rise thanks to the Bolsheviks
Not thanks to some reptilian body double who was a cousin of the British King and gave him all Russia's oil
Just a friendly reminder for our Russian friends:
- in 1812, the French Army has taken Moscow and burnt it to the ground;
- in 1853-56, the French Army has defeated Moscovy in Crimea war (that is why Sevastopol metro station in Paris).
Alright, I think I need a break from this account for a day or two. I like to think I have fairly thick skin, but hostile replies can still negatively impact my mental health. And my replies have been flooded with weird tsarists for the past couple of days so...
Literally everyone had a non-aggression pact or similar with the Germans. Literally no one is innocent of that in the Interwar years. Yes, even the Polish.
Imagine if danish people unironically said this about the Norwegian language(in its written form they’re extremely close to each other).
Russian imperialism and revisionism is sickening tbh.
If Russia uses a nuclear weapon against a NATO country, then this is what will happen to Russia in response.
About 45 million Russians will be vaporized in the first hour. Not much of a life remaining for the other 100 million.
Maybe the people of Russia should stop supporting
The unrest and Civil War were caused by Russia's own libs, Lenin would have been a little Footnote if not for the Provisional Government's incompetence.
Sometimes I wonder how amazing it must have felt to have been a Bolshevik who stormed the Winter Palace. Centuries of bourgeois oppression finally put to an end by a mass movement of the working class. Perhaps the most beautiful and amazing achievement in all of human history.
First it wasn't the Bolsheviks that ended the Monarchy.
Second, the Soviets were barely able to catch up to the Empire's projected growth.
Feudal also doesn't work because most land was heal by Peasants either private or communal. And in addition the land bank helped acquire them

I mean, yeah, but people are normally of the stance "Monopoly = bad" so they do tend to become defensive in that sense, not because they want to defend Monopolies in general, but because they want to defend what they like(as would and do I).
