I hate both Tsarist Russia and Communists.
Modern Russia is shit too though.
I wish there was a nuke big enough to obliterate this whole country but nobody has balls enough to launch such thing.

Early communist years were no much different from that desu. It was WW2 that have turned Soviet Union into crazy militarists with insane desire for military spendings over everything.

historically backward land that managed to become relatively stronk and successful

100 times better than soviet union
50 times better than modern r*ssia

A pretty normal brutal absolute monarchy for most of its existence. Not as backwards as it's sometimes portrayed, they were modernizing at a decent speed in the late 19th/early 20th century but WWI put the lid on that. Definitely still brutal though.

Like in 1905, a crowd of Russians in St. Petersburg did a march/demonstration in front of the Winter Palace, singing "God Save the Tsar", and the Tsar's soldiers murdered them all. That's the kind of place Tsarist Russia is.

Yeah the Purge and NKVD was downright utopian

this may not be the thread to ask, but does could anyone recommend a solid book that covers the full history of russia? it seems like such a fascinating place
