The empire that used to reside on your land was a joke. It took a republic of workers to gather up the literal rubble and ashes your manchild tsar left behind and made it into a superpower in half a century.
Bear in mind that they had to deal with famines caused by World War I, had to deal with the deadly Nazi forces during World War II that destroyed almost everything between Berlin and Stalingrad, and pushed all their soldiers to dominating the Germans when the Russian Empire couldn't even make a dent on the German Empire. They still managed to send the first satellite, the first man and woman to space, and so many more advances in science and exploration.
I can't believe you failed history, Vlad. Then again, modern day Russia is a joke when compared to the glory of the Soviet Union.
