Actually, my reference to the royal family was a sarcastic shout out to something "good" he did. Sorry for skipping the blue font on that one. What I was really referencing was the millions he had killed because either they were educated or they wouldn't kowtow to the Bolsheviks, or both.I think it’s more “ I like MY history and hate real history” kinda thing.
I’m still wondering why he referenced what Lenin did to the Royal family as one reason to tear the monument down. Hell had they killed the czar after the February revolution then Kornilov has no reason to march on St Petersburg in September effectively setting off the immediate chain of events that gave the Bolsheviks real power. If there were folks taking odds in July and August in 1917 then very few are picking the Bolsheviks are taking power because most of them are jailed, killed, or embarrassingly re exiled like Lenin after failing to secure power in February.
