Did you know that the Romanovs were executed in a basement?

Because they would have no problems coronating them. The children were very beloved.




They had male only primogeniture. Killing the duchesses was plain and simple murder, but the Bolsheviks were bloodthirsty monsters so no surprise.

Any new regime will go out of it’s way to destroy the old. The communists took it to new levels though, look at Russia, but also look at China under Mao, and his Great Leap Forward.

By destroying traditional culture both hoped to cement their control over society, and clear the way for the improvements they wanted to implement. A people without history and culture were a blank slate. They would be whatever the communists wanted them to be.

This is why I don't understand not hating them. The left is easy to hate and should be held in contempt by any freedom loving people or by any decent people everywhere.

No monarchy to restore as happened 100 years before in France.

Not true. The 1797 Pauline laws and 1911 amendments that governed the Romanov laws of succession created a semi-Salic line of inheritance where the male line's termination could yield female inheritance. Its under that particular premise that the current head of the Romanov family is Maria Vladimirovna, through being the only child of the last male Dynast, without a morganatic marriage becoming involved, wherein claims to the titles were not to be inherited.

The current "socialists" in our country would not hesitate to kill anyone that did not agree with them one hundred per cent if they could get away with it.

Would not hesitate one second. They have no morals, there would be nothing to stop them.

Not one second, just like Muslims.

Given the latitude, leftists would do the EXACT same thing today.

Hell, they're already murdering over 600,000 innocents a year that don't have anything to do with anything.

I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
