She also started foundling hospitals and made many reforms improving the lives of the people.

That painting with the leg of the horse on her shoulder 💀

[engineeraspirant]

Her lover was the person who killed her husband.

[noobpro]

Of course it’s propaganda. Any Russian woman could survive a horse falling on her.

[thisbsuchadopekid]

I’d be an angry ghost if rumors like this were made and spread about me

[johnstrawb]

"Jiggy." A word we must not lose to history!

[twotrucks]

They hate to see a girlboss succeed

Edit: If you are so offended by this joke that you must comment about it, please write it down on a sticky note instead, I am done caring

[schnoz]

Completely neglecting to mention the tsar and his father's fuckups as though it was fine before she came along

[kathhart]

Those who smeared her were most likely the ones she rejected as lovers.

[amyy]

reminds me of when mama cass died and the tabloids said she choked on a sandwich and died when in reality her body had shut down after years of crash diets causing stress to her heart

so sad to see such a wonderful vocalist talked about this way after her passing :(

[dionicioysassi]

Won't believe it till we hear the horses' side of the story

[Rini]

I have never heard of this horse death and now I gotta wonder about how weird and far people will go to ruin the rep of someone who died

[vialogan]

Judged by many of the men while they had secret trysts with her. Total hypocrites.

Imagine the rumours would have been made if she led a life like Genghis khan.

“She’s lying in a puddle of indignity.”

- Nikita Khrushchev (unlikely)

[FYRFOX]

Haters did the same to King James, calling him gay, but that lie wasn’t accepted until over 20 + yrs passed and most of those who knew the King had passed away.

[EsteffersonTorres]

About her love life, it's said she was a "serial monogamist", meaning she had only one lover at a time and was faithful to him. And whenever she got a new lover, she would give gifts to the former lover.

[michaelsmyth]

....also, she was German, deposed her husband with the help of the military. Responsible for the deaths of many serfs through her policies.

[renatacantore]

Thank you for correcting that blasphemy.
