I'll start, I missed the outdoor cats struggle session so i don't know what its deal was except a vague idea that outdoor cats were bad, so I've let my two cats stay being outdoor cats because I feel bad locking them inside, like I want to give them some experience of freedom to go where they please so they can live more fulfilling lives
Edit: also kruschev is imo a lot better than most hexbear users give him credit for
Yeah, in the case of the Romanov family, other countries were foaming at the mouth for an excuse to invade the USSR. Restoring the old royal family was one of the justifications.
It's hard to restore a royal family if the entirety of them are dead.
There are still Romanovs in my country who host teenage summer camps or something. The west-euros would've definitely invaded Russia to reestablish their cousins.
