Exploring Russian History #shorts #history #russia

Exploring Russian history – did you know that prisoners in Soviet Russia got tattoos of Lenin and Stalin because guards weren’t allowed to harm images of national leaders? Also, Ivan the Terrible, the first tsar of Russia, killed his own son and Joseph Stalin’s son shot himself because of his father’s harshness but survived!

Stalin saw his son failing to kill himself and literally said "skill issue"

The soviets must've been like naaah. It's OUR body

Lenin actually wanted to be buried next to his mother, but still a great short nonetheless

[frantisekhajek]

Lenin: "Please bury me"
Russians: "Alright, mummification it is"

[ementos]

Bro the tattoo idea is pretty genius since it's a easier way of not getting stabbed or shot at a vital organ like the heart and kidney.

Edit: keep replying it keeps me up at night reading your comments.

Edit 2: imagine still replying to a 4 month old comment.

Edit 3: random argument in the replies

In Russia we have a joke "Lenin was a great joker. He came to power by promising the peasants land. But they never saw it… But the peasants were also great jokers. Therefore Lenin does not see the earth until now"

Austria: phew, can't believe I got away from memes and criticism with being the home of a brutal dictator
Georgia: same

[JuneHarriseco]

Lenin doesn't deserve to be buried. Anywhere.

[mercygoddd]

Lenin: "I want to be buried with my wife" *Dies*
Everyone: "what?!"
Stalin: "He said he wanted to be displayed unlike his wife!"
Everyone : "understandable"

[Benefartamemia]

Lenin never wanted to be warshipped and never wanted stalin as the leader, but well, stalin does what he want

[PROOB-xqrq]

Lenin: After all that I've done for you, you can't complete my dying wish!?

[elgame]

Had to rewatch to confirm Lenin's wife was not Scarlett Johanson

[DovidGershom]

Lenin was pulled out and returned to his hometown after the fall of the USSR.
