Well put, Sir L. Concur completely. The thought that he might have suffered that much brings me great comfort.

If this devil didn't give the order to execute the tsar and his family (including four teenage girls), he was aware of the fact that the lowlife Jacob Sverlov had issued it and he did nothing to stop it. The Red animals actually had the effrontery to rename the city where the heinous deed was done Sverdlovsk. It has now been restored to its tsarist name, Ekaterinburg, and Sverdlov and the syphilitic Lenin have been restored to the slime pits of Hell.

Close to the end of his life, he realized the failure of central planning of the economy, and allowed the peasant class farmers to grow what they wanted, and price as they could.

This flew in the face of the Communists, who called for his removal.

At least, he retained his rational thinking, even if he was diseased.
