What's /his/ opinion on the Mad Baron

>>2425133
he's highly underrated, no man can came closer of what he did

>>2425133
He is a mix of both. A mad man ruler, he clearly was dropped on some hard teutonic floors as a baby but he get's my seal of approval.

>>2425133
Who is this man

>>2425901
Khanaboo who decided to reform Mongolia during the Russian Civil War.

>>2425901
Baron Roman von Ungern-Sternberg

>>2425133
Best representation of an absolute madman in history.

His military record is pretty impressive too for a man known to go on alcohol induced frenzies and slap his fellow officers around

Timur did it better desu

>>2425901
Prussian nobleman who served in the Imperial Russian military during WWI, but was sent to command a garrison in Siberia due to his excessive brutality on the front lines. When the Communist Revolution happened, he lead his garrison down into central Asia, where he recruited an army of wandering bandits and nomads, before attacking Chinese-controlled Mongolia, annihilating the Chinese northern army, and installing himself as a sort of proto-fascist theocrat claiming divine right as Genghis Khan reborn. Shortly thereafter, he invaded the Soviet Union, where his own men betrayed him to the enemy and he was executed.

Imagine how it would look if his men didn't betray him..

>>2425133
He was too sane for this world.
>Ungern-Sternberg believed the revolution of 1905 was all the work of the Jews

Childhood is when you ideolize Hitler and Mussolini. Teenagehood is when you ideolize Stalin and Lenin,
adulthood is when you realize Von Ungern makes more sense

>>2426048
he would just have been killed in battle instead.
his best chanses would been staying in mongolia and maybe invade some Chinese warlords

>>2426048
Even if the rest of his army agreed to his crack-brained 'plan' to retreat to Tibet, all that would've happened would be a slow death by attrition ending in a massacre by the inevitable Russian counterattack. He truly bit off more than he could chew.

This is mere speculation, but I believe he would've had more success if he turned his attention to establishing himself in China and especially in Manchuria, where a lot of Russian emigres went after the Revolution. But to do so would require a very different man from the one who decided he could take on the entire Soviet Union with a force of barely 3000.

>>2426048
They betrayed him because he was leading them to certain death. He had no artillery, no tanks, and was outnumbered ten to one by the Soviets.

He's basically an evil version of Lawrence of Arabia.

>>2425133
A genius who identified early on the cause of the decline of the West, and a warrior who didn't fear to fight for his ideal.

He was based.

There is a lot of myth and misconception surrounding him, as well as propaganda.

There is no evidence that he thought himself a reincarnation of anything, or that he even attempted to exploit the beliefs of the mongols, which the Soviets did on the reg, i.e. supported their nationalism. His while scheme was to reestablish all the monarchies. He was an interesting person no doubt, but there is too much mythic bullshit floating around.
