Lenin is a freak, a German spy and a Judas for Russia and he was a Russophobe, he said terrible things about Russians, his mother taught him this, his brother was a terrorist and he took revenge for his terrorist brother to the tsar and the entire Russian people. In 1911-13, after the reforms of Prime Minister Stolypin, the Russian Empire came out on top in grain, and by many indicators, its population was the largest in the world, the economy was on top, but a strong Russia was never needed by the West and it was then, in 1911, that Prime Minister Stolypin was killed, Russia was dragged into the war, Lenin, who took revenge on the tsar for the execution of a terrorist brother, dragged Russia into the revolution with German money and American banks, working with propaganda among the military, who were inspired that the king is bad and needs to be removed. at the same time, the Russian elite betrays the tsar and Russia as a whole, commits a revolution (and in fact a coup), after which the country is drawn into a civil war. Lenin promises to give Russia's gold reserve to the Americans in exchange for weapons, the gold reserve disappears, Lenin never receives weapons in return. Your guide did not say about this and how everyone was robbing Russia. As a result, power passes to the Bolsheviks. Lenin and the Russian elite are corrupt Judas for Russia, it is these Russophobes who are paying now to blow up Russia from the inside, passing off these criminals and thieves as political victims.... Nothing is changing, a strong and independent Russia is not needed by the barbaric West, they need weak vassals. Therefore, all Western media carry only lies about Russia, and billions are spent on this.

It would be interesting to hear about it from the Russian view point. I recently studied about Nicholas and his family and found it very interesting indeed. You don’t always hear things objectively.

Just one remark. The soldiers were the same workers and mostly peasants taken to military service. So the Bolshevik slogans of peace - land - worker's administration were welcomed by most of the people. And you may blame Lenin and Bolsheviks for their harsh undemocratic behevior, still they fulfilled their promises.

Far removed from the ordinary members of the public, not only the factory workers but the middle classes and Peasants. Apparently the Princesses were just out of the compound while imprisoned in Yekaterinburg. They observed two men sawing wood. Asking what are they doing, when told that they were working, they asked what is working, ie the meaning of the word, says it all really.

They really were victims, they were brutally shot in the basement of the Ipatievsky house in Yekaterinburg and then they could not destroy the remains for a long time, pouring acid on them and burning them, because they were afraid that people would worship the passion-bearer tsar, and that's exactly what happened, the royal family is considered holy, they are martyrs. The Russian elite betrayed the tsar, Lenin took power by making a coup with German money through American banks, he promised the Americans a gold reserve in exchange for weapons, the weapons never came, the gold reserve was taken to an unknown destination...although everyone can guess which one...The West never needs a strong independent Russia. Therefore, there will always be Judas like Lenin, who took revenge on the tsar for the execution of a terrorist brother, and in the biased Western press you will always hear lies about Russia.

Russia is rich in resources and history , but just like any war , the collateral damage is on the life of majority of its people , the poor ones. Maybe a reason why I have impression of Russians as subtle but an inner strength is felt . I met some Russians in my country and they are more reserve but kind to talk with. Not like their opponent ( when issue is who is greater as superpower country) , who feels entitled even if they are foreigners , some even racist & rude.

Maybe you can ask this dude if the luge track is still there? Again, I was in Leningrad in 1983. U know, when we got on our bus to go to the track from our hotel in Leningrad, the KGB guys would pull the curtains down on the windows so we literally couldn’t see where we were going; or in which direction we were going. The curtains would only be raised once we arrived at the track. It was the first time I ever got car sick. It was horrible. In the hotel, weren’t even allowed to our rooms or even the floor that our rooms were on in our hotel. Plus we were escorted everywhere we went. So essentially we were held captive in our rooms. The KGB guys wouldn’t even allow us to visit other teams rooms .. it was just unbelievable. Anyway, maybe this guy knows?
