      Latest episode is about the execution of the Romanovs, he goes all lib at the end and uses it to make a point about how “oooooh they killed the tsar for being a murderous tyrant but now they’re becoming the same themselves”. The next episode is about the red terror apparently.

        i mean he pointed out that even lenin saw it as something to hide given that he maintained that the children and servants were still alive. did the staff, the cook, maid really deserve to be killed? the children also didnt choose to be born romanovs. Duncan said he wasnt going to cry over the killing of a leader who terrorized countless people but it makes the case it wasnt necessary, or at the least the killing of the children amd remaining wait staff wasnt necessary
