Just to point out Rasputin did not die from being poisoned, shot, beaten up, and from being thrown into the river. He died from hypothermia after he broke free and crawled out of the river.

[patricksinger]

The fact you posted both at the same time... this is why people love you

Trotsky: “surprising military genius”
Also Trotsky: “let’s stop fighting and see what happens”

Oversimplified: Starts talking about World War 1

Everyone else: Hey, I've seen this one. It's a classic.

[foulplayer]

If anyone's curious about what became of Alexander Kerensky after he fled Petrograd, he managed to survive the Russian Revolution and lived a relatively peaceful life, outliving many of the significant figures of the Russian Revolution.
Oversimplified didn't cover this, but after Kerensky escaped the Bolsheviks during the October Revolution, he fled to Pskov, where he rallied some loyal troops in an attempt to re-take the city. They managed to capture Tsarskoye Selo but were beaten the next day at Pulkovo. Kerensky narrowly escaped again and spent the next few weeks in hiding before fleeing Russia for good, eventually arriving in France. During the Russian Civil War, he supported neither side, as he opposed both the Bolshevik regime and the White Movement.
Eventually, after Germany invaded France in 1940, Kerensky fled to the United States, where he spent the remainder of his life. He lived in New York City with his wife but spent much of his time at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University in California, where he contributed to the Institution's huge archive on Russian history and taught graduate courses. He wrote and broadcast extensively on Russian politics and history.
Kerensky eventually died of heart disease in New York City on June 11, 1970. At 89, he was one of the last surviving major participants in the turbulent events of 1917, having outlived Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky, and all the other prominent figures who had overthrown him.

Funnily enough, when the Soviets came to power, they dug up Rasputin and burned his body. Unfortunately no one had prepared the body properly, so when his ligaments shriveled in the flames, he sat up and scared the crap out of everyone.

Good times.

Man in 1900’s: doesn’t have moustache
Literally everyone: yeah, there’s gonna be a tax for that

[anushkaranjan]

A guy who can draw, likes history AND has a sense of humor.
It must be heaven

[rodmunch]

I absolutely love how completely random the introduction of Rasputin was to the Russian Monarch, and how crucial his role was to the collapse of Czarist Russia, despite the fact he was some weird horny and overall batshit crazy guy who just did whatever he wanted, like a literal college student. It's random shit like this that makes history so fascinating to me, and it shouldn't be that way lol

“The Russian Civil War was extremely intricate and would really need its own video.”
Yes please!

[xMovieManiacx]

Actually they didn't put poison in cakes. They put some poison into his wine. And he was also Russia's greatest love machine.
