Omg. xD That IS badass. Wtf Russia, you had Rasputin too, who got stabbed, poisoned and shot several times before he finally died... of drowning, later in an icy river. Fair enough though, it's not exactly sure if all that happened as all we have is his killers' testimonials of that...
Yeah... though he did have more time to do it, of course. But he did just get away with it and is STILL considered a national hero in Russia by many... which just scares me to death because it just proves how possible it is that it could all happen again. The whole cult of personality thing did happen again with Putin too... Look at these guys for example, and their successor, who btw were the ones responsible for the cyber-attacks against Estonia... (It bugs me so much how in Hetalia it's claimed that the attacks were done by an Estonian. I have NO idea where Himaruya got that info. But it bugs me. So much. Okay, not many Estonians read Hetalia but it's still offensive, I think, after everything Russia has done to them and then some Japanese guy gets an idea to blame an Estonian for an attack that's obviously petty harrassment by Russia.)
Anyway, it's just. Scary. *shudders and thinks about Family Ties which is not a good thing to come to mind from reality djkghkjghljdkhg*
