Haahaa and we harboured their bolsheik revolutionaries when they were in exile. Lenin's even called the friend of Finland in some places.

We could've totally just turn him to the authorities but 'know it's the extreme prank when you let a country get overrun by revolutionaries that take the meaning "human capital" to a new level.

He deserved everything that happened to him. It's a shame we can't resurrect and kill him a few more times.

His grandfather was. He was known as the liberator by the people since he ended serfdom and was actually doing a lot a reforms, He got assassinated tho and what followed was incompetence and backwardness by the last 2 Tzars.

Perfect example why absolute monarchy is horrible.

Of course not, it's just generic guy with glasses and beard.

I doubt there are any monuments or good memories about Trosky, despite he probably was the main reason of why the Reds won the civil war.

>>77273575
Alexander II was the last Russian head of state to be remotely competent and didn't burn the country to the ground.

>>77274216
Stalin and Putin are mostly competent, just with some major flaws...

Why do people say that Putin has been anything good?

Russia was a world power that produced a huge amount of equipment and technology.

Now it only produces raw materials and lives off from their soviet trash. Also, the Russian mafia has got out of control establishing a world wide market of slaves and drugs.

He only puts effort into looking macho and powerful despite being an insecure manlet.

>>77274260
I'd think the real heroes there were the 20 million+ people who died fighting Germany, after Stalin gutted all of the competent army officers and replaced them with retard-tier, but obedient dicksuckers.

>>77274492
This, if it weren't for Zukhov and Vasilevsky the Nazis would have won the war.

The less Stalin took decisions the fewer Soviets died.

>>77272903

Poor guy

>>77274921
If you'd ever read a single thing about him or his reign you'd agreed that atleast he if anyone deserved to get shot and chopped up.

>>77274457
>Russia was a world power
That was before 1914, lol.
>produced a huge amount of equipment and technology
Russia never did that.

>>77274981
Probably he meant the USSR in 1960-1980...

>>77274457
That's mostly Yeltsins fault

>>77275224
While he was a president raw resources cost shit. It's the main reason they "sold" all government property back then

>>77274492
Officer killing is memery (they did kill some and fired a lot during the army reforms, but people killed were usually the likes of Tukhachevsky - old bloody handed revolutionaries, not educated officers) the real reason army command was compromised was a lot more mundane - Political Commissars (who were usually normal party members with no military education) were mandated to enter all military institutions to maintain ideological purity. Effectively they had same powers as officers they were assigned to, every officer rank had a corresponding comissar type, who had same power except they could also overwrite the orders of the officer if he considered them to be ideologically bad. If the officer died the commissar was supposed to assume command.
That meant that every officer in the chain of command had this uneducated commissar guy second guessing and reporting on him at all times.
The institute of military commissariat was abolished in 42 after Zhukov finally managed to convince Stalin that it was a fucking awful idea. After that they were renamed to politruks and had no more executive power, simply reading lectures about communism to soldiers and stuff like that.

>>77274492
They were slaves.

>>77274702
>>77275361
Stalin in that sense was smarter than Hitler, he learned not to micromanage the war and actually let his generals do the job.

>>77275361
This, the ineffectiveness of commisars showed especially in the winter war where the actually trained army officers almost in 9/10 cases said that we need to advance slower and with better supply lines whilst keeping close to other divisions but commisars insisted that the war must be over in that 2 week deadline that was promised to Stalin. Lot of unnnecessary death by incompetence.

>>77275361
>but people killed were usually the likes of Tukhachevsky - old bloody handed revolutionaries, not educated officers

Of course you had guys like Seymon Budyonny who were equally incompetent and not professional officers, but they survived by gargling Stalin's balls (he actually testified at Tukhachevsky's trial).

>>77275649
Also most of the troops fighting the Winter War were Ukrainian conscripts who weren't used to the harsher climate of Finland.

>>77273390
They tried to do the whole "divine right to rule" thing after 1789. Looks like nobody handed them the memo on modernism.

>>77275843
As I understand it, Stalin believed Tukhachevsky was responsible for the defeat of the Red Army outside Warsaw in 1920 and he got his revenge 16 years later.

>>77272903

that's what happens when you trust a russian.

>>77275843
Yep, Voroshilov and Timoshenko too. After their first fuck-ups they were usually sent away from the front-lines, to act as moral support.

>>77275954
Tukhachevsky was a disgusting human being who used chemical weapons on his own countrymen. Whatever the reason for his death is, no one will miss him (other than idiots who consider him some sort of military genius lul)

>>77275843
Also Budyonny was a professional soldier that got his officer promotion for being the best cavalryman in his regiment during WW1, but the things he knew about warfare became outdated by the time WW2 rolled in.

>>77275901
My Siberian grandfather rescued some Ukrainians from Finnish salients. Siberian Divisions were called later, when the war was almost over.

Stupid Communists unleashed a war.

>>77276068
>Yep, Voroshilov and Timoshenko too. After their first fuck-ups they were usually sent away from the front-lines, to act as moral support.

Because of their political loyalty, they were allowed to retire with a full pension and military honors, and all of them ended up living into the Brezhnev era and dying peacefully of old age. The end.

>>77276122
>but the things he knew about warfare became outdated by the time WW2 rolled in
Too thick-headed/inflexible to adapt to modern warfare.

>>77272903
If you would treat people like a cattle and losing wars one after another, you are will be get shot too.

>>77275649
>>77275901
The enlisted men were actually told that the Finns would welcome them as liberators from capitalism.

>>77275954
Stalin got his revenge on Poland too. He'd had almost been captured by the Poles at the Battle of Warsaw and had an old score to settle with them as well.

>>77273390
>>77275937
Pretty much this. The nobility heavily opposed the liberation of serfs thereby delaying it until Alexander II's rule, in addition to such numerous monarch's attempted to play on the populace's "Slavophile" nationalism that was heavily backwards and reactionary, resulting in few economic reforms until it were far too late and a military that was far outdated compared to that of the other great powers. In addition to this, the over-the-top fundamentalism and the resulting superstitions caused infrastructure to be largely ignored until it was far too late (as railways were considered to be "evil" as were machines in general). That and like today the empire was embroiled in widespread corruption and numerous unsuccessful wars that were often nullified by other great powers.

>>77276524
At that period of time no one knew what the modern warfare would be like, except Guderian. There were even more new crazy technologies that weren't properly tested than in the WW1 and most countries had different ideas about the ways warfare would evolve.

>half of Europe would look like Europe and not a poor commieblock shithole if they were never shot

fuck me

>>77276769
Russian Empire was far worse than USSR when it came to being poor and backwards.

>>77276752
>Superstitions
Yeah, Russians were crazy superstitious in the 19th and early 20th century. Friendly reminder that they literally declared Napoleon to be the antichrist for the heinous crime of... attempting to assimilate the Jewish population of France.

>Be German
>Lose, die

Why does this keep happening?

Technology kept evolving fast through the war, equipment that was cutting-edge in 1939 was way outdated by 1944, interestingly Japan was the only of the major belligerents to not upgrade their military hardware at all, they were still using the same 1930s equipment right up to the end in 1945.

>>77276859
Germans are only capable of destruction, not creation. This is why they win battles but lose wars. That, and ever since the death of Bismarck their diplomatic policy has been "TSJÖRMANY STRONK! FUGG YOU [rival du jou]!!!!".

>>77276858
He was and as a Hitler too. Antichrist is a one who wants a good but ends in the hell.

Outside the cities, people lived in wooden shacks and were mostly illiterate. There was very little, if any middle class.

>Country cucked by inbreeding monarchs defending country formerly cucked by inbreeding monarchs

what a shock that it's Britain

>>77277129
Industrial development in the Russian Empire was mainly paid for and built by European companies, Russia itself lacked the money or technical expertise. It was also mainly state-owned and centered on military needs, there was hardly any effort made to produce consumer goods or improve standards of living.

Reminder that countries which kill their Kings always suffer greatly because of it. Killing your King is like killing God and he punishes you for it.

Look at the histories of France, China, Germany and Russia and you will see that truth.

God hates regicide.

>Outside the cities
In cities either.

Surprisingly your country was mostly wooden either. There's nothing wrong with wooden homes if they are good enough.
>There was very little, if any middle class.
Only wealth matters, not your obsession with social status. Wealth was growing rapidly before WWI.

>>77277373
when did germany kill their king?

>>77277471
They killed him in spirit. The Kaiser was a broken man.

>>77277358
>>77277270
Stalin's industrialization drives were just a continuation of tsarist policies, again it was mostly European and American companies that built Soviet industry during the 1930s, for example Ford built a whole bunch of automobile plants. From then onward, Soviet technology stagnated, many of these factories were still operating in the 1980s with the same '30s machine tools. Technological advances were primarily gained through large-scale industrial espionage in the US and Western Europe and of course industry was first and foremost for the military, not consumer goods, although Khrushchev had promoted more production of the latter.
