Please note: When I post pictures of Nicholas II I am doing so because I think he’s hot. I am not endorsing or glossing over all the atrocities that he and his predecessors inflicted on the peoples of the Russian Empire. Likewise, I am not endorsing the heinous murder of his royal hotness and his family. What Lenin and Stalin subsequently did to the Russian Empire/Soviet Union was so much more horrible than anything Nicky Baby did I think Russia would’ve been better off today if they had had a gradually liberalizing monarchy in the first half of the 20th century than those commies.
