Please note that Tsar Nicholas II was a horrid authoritarian ruler with a lot of fucking blood on his hands. We're talking to the tune of millions.

The Podcast Behind the Bastards did an excellent, four part series, on good ol' Nicky the Second. Great listen.

But this is what many authoritarians look like. Ordinary people, with ordinary fascinations and family.

A lot of people like to cut him some slack, like "oh but he loved his family and was a great family man!" It reminds me of people who say Hitler was a great public speaker and artist or whatever. ๐Ÿ™„

There are pictures of Adolf kissing babies and petting his dog... and chasing nude women while blindfolded

if it weren't for the whole holocaust thing you might mix him up with your wild but still kinda racist uncle.
