Nazi sympathisers say Nazi shit
Seattle Times:
What an odd choice, Lenin is so uncontroversial he’s even a good guy in Assassin’s Creed which is how I gauge popular opinion of historical figures.
I think AssCreed 2 has him in the collectible memory pieces that are scattered around the world. He was an assassin I believe, was a templar of course.
As badly as Ubisoft Montreal would handle it, playable Lenin would have been hilarious
There’s a 2d game that I have not played, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: Russia, set during the 1917 revolution. Wikipedia plot summary:
spoiler
Chronicles: Russia is set in early 20th-century Soviet Russia, in the aftermath of the October Revolution of 1917, and follows Nikolai Orelov, the protagonist of the comic book Assassin’s Creed: The Fall and its graphic novel sequel, The Chain. In 1918, Nikolai contemplates retiring from the Assassin Brotherhood and leaving the country with his family, but agrees to perform one final mission: to recover the Precursor box, which is believed to be in the possession of the Romanov family. On the night of 16–17 July, he travels to Yekaterinburg and infiltrates the house where former Tsar Nicholas II and his family are being held, only to witness their execution at the hands of Templar agents infiltrated within the Red Army, who also seek the box. Nikolai discovers that the Tsar’s youngest daughter, Anastasia, survived the massacre and has the box, which somehow links her to Shao Jun, giving her the latter’s memories and abilities, which she is unable to control.[7]
Taking pity on Anastasia, Nikolai decides to take her back to the Brotherhood in the hope that they could help her. Pursued by both the Templars and the Bolsheviks, the two escape Yekaterinburg on a train headed to Kazan, arriving there in September, in the midst of the Red Army’s attempt to retake the city. Nikolai leaves to find his old friend, Leon Trotsky, only to discover that the latter, believing Anastasia to be too dangerous as a symbol to be left alive, has allied with the Templars. Trotsky betrays Nikolai to the Templars, who torture him for the location of Anastasia and the Precursor box. Anastasia manages to rescue Nikolai, and together they escape Kazan by stealing a boat.
Nikolai and Anastasia sail to Moscow, where the two are separated upon meeting the other Assassins, who take Anastasia away to experiment on her and find a possible cure for her condition. Nikolai is instructed to return to the Assassins’ bureau to report about his recent experiences, but overhears two Assassins talking about how Anastasia is now a living Precursor artifact and that they must extract Jun’s memories from her, likely killing her in the process. Caring for Anastasia and enraged by the Assassins’ lies, Nikolai decides to betray the Brotherhood to save the girl. After interrogating an Assassin, he learns that Anastasia was taken to the Kremlin, and proceeds to make his away across the city while avoiding his former Assassin brothers, who now have orders to kill him.
After infiltrating the facility where Anastasia is being kept, Nikolai rescues her and the two work together to escape back to the city. Once there, the Assassins try to kill them using a tank, but Nikolai is able to destroy it. Afterwards, Nikolai gives Anastasia false documents originally intended for his wife, providing her with a new identity, Anna Anderson, and a means to leave the country unnoticed. The two part ways, with Anastasia planning to start a new life in Germany, and believing that she will be able to keep Jun’s memories under control.
Secret ending
A secret ending can be unlocked in Chronicles: Russia by inputting hidden codes found throughout all three games. The ending takes place in the modern day, where Templar agent Juhani Otso Berg meets up with the Head of Operations at Abstergo Industries, Laetitia England. Berg, who has recently studied the memories of Assassin-turned-Templar Shay Cormac to learn more about the Precursor box, presents it to England, who instructs him to take it to Dr. Álvaro Gramática in secret. Gramática claims the box to be instrumental in the success of Abstergo’s Phoenix Project.
Templar lmao
Edit: Looks like this is a sequel to some comics that even fewer people read. Apparently Lenin’s brother was an assassin and friend of the protagonist from this stuff lmao.
Lol who did Lenin genocide? Is kulak genetically encoded now?
That is what I’m wondering as well. He thinks Romanovs are a distinct racial group I guess.
An argument could be made given how inbred royals were/are.
Were kulaks even much of a problem for the ussr when Lenin was alive? Thought they only truly became a thorn in their side when they began collectivization
For hundreds of years the landlord class of Ukraine maintained their power through antisemitic violence. They were always going to be a target of the revolution. It just wasn’t until the 30s that an opposition had the means to decisively challenge them.
Right, but what I’m saying is that Lenin isn’t even the one who went to town on them, Stalin was lol (or at least that’s my understanding)
Lenin picks up a lot of the blame for violence that occurred during the Revolution. While Stalin was the one who made the oppression of the bourgeoisie state policy, Lenin was in charge when the revolution enabled peasants to enact a lot of vigilante violence against their oppressors.
I like how the fascist can’t help openly entertaining the idea that maybe the holocaust was heckin wholesome, actually. Very cool preface to “ COMMIE RUSKIES ONLY KNOW KILL”
Someone I went to college with once said to me.
racism
Russians can’t do anything without a 30 year plan that kills millions
Called him out on the racism, and he doubled down with ‘Russian isn’t a race’
Number has been blocked since that conversation.
