I guess Nicholas II will always be thought of as a victim because of the cruel way he and his family were murdered by the commies, but I sure would have hated to be a Jew living in the Russia of the Tsars.
Or a Pole in Poland.
Yeah Bloody Nicholas isn’t as sympathetic a figure as Charles I or Louis XVI. Even though Louis never got canonized.
Still, it’s pretty bad when what followed was WORSE. Poor Russia, life has always been rough there.
