God I actually love this movie lol when I put it in a vacuum and pretend its not set in actual world history. Also "In the Dark of the Night" slaps. But the playing with actual history and what it says about the Russian revolution is so fucking silly.
I like how The Last Tsar on netflix openly acknowledges that Nicky 2 is committing a pogrom against the Jews over the economic crisis he and the rest of the staunchly anti-democratic literally-feudal ruling class caused. The last Czar of Russia was committing a pre-industrial holocaust, the documentary openly acknowledges that in a throwaway line, and then spends the rest of the doc mourning his grand finale. Oh no, I hate when Hitler with a crown gets done in by the Reds before he can industrialize and really become a monster, oh no, oh nooo :brainworms:
The Libs would be mourning Hitler if he had a sparkly enough dress on.
Give it a few more years. Those hugo boss suits are going to turn the libs eventually.
Liberals and hating socialists more than fascists, name a more iconic duo
Robespierre watching modern libs crying over a dead monarch
How can you not mention that the whole thing ends with one of the historian guys deciding to call the execution of the tsar family some shit like "the most cruel/brutal/senseless crime in modern history"
