The people who defend the Romanovs fucking disgust me. I was ‘friends’ with another russian jew who went to bat for them because of the fucking movie Anastasia. Both their and my families were being slaughtered in state-sanctioned pogroms… how the hell do you get to that fucking point? Even at my most liberal, I always believed the Romanovs deserved everything they got. Every single time someone brings it up I just list the horrific conditions that thrived under the Romanovs making them feel as terrible as possible.
I get not wanting to relish in the death of oppressors, personally I believe an unceremonious is more than sufficient. But defending them???
because of the fucking movie Anastasia.
That fucking movie! It totally blows (Don Bluth’s worst film imo) but seems to have influenced a genuinely shocking number of people’s opinions on the Romanovs.
I just looked it up on wikipedia to make sure I spelled Don Bluth’s name right, and read this:
Anastasia was the first 20th Century Fox animated feature to be produced by its own animation division, 20th Century Fox Animation, through the animation studio Fox Animation Studios. The film premiered at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York City on November 14, 1997, and was released in the United States on November 21. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the animation, voice performances, and soundtrack, though it attracted criticism from some historians for its fantastical retelling of the Grand Duchess. Anastasia grossed $140 million worldwide, making it the most profitable film from Bluth and Fox Animation Studios. It received nominations for several awards, including for Best Original Song (“Journey to the Past”)[8] and Best Original Musical or Comedy Score at the 70th Academy Awards.
I am now suspicious that the CIA pushed that shitty movie , I cannot imagine such a turd being that popular or successful organically.

Dude, of course they do, this isn’t up to suspicion, I’m sure nerds from hexbear.net can link a shitton of articles and documents proving every single “interaction” ie command from the government to Disney/Hollywood/whatever.
