Also no fucking wonder they had a revolution immediately after all these things were made, it seems like the Romanovs were spending the entire country’s gdp on these god damn decorations. The whole exhibit felt like
Food for peasants $200
Working conditions $150
Military $800
Fancy Egg™ $1.2 billion
Utilities $150
someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this, my family dying (they’re being killed by revolutionaries)
Holy shit, based tour guide! Would love a tour like that IN Vatican City... But alas, they have their own laws and courts.
