>>10925724They were both fucking goofs and their opposites are hilarious.
One was an amazing orator who pulled off a legit beta uprising with wild gestures and screaming at entranced crowds, the other had a genuine terror of public performances and often went for walks with his lover wrapped in a thick coat and shawl so people wouldn't recognize him, but he outsmarted the bolsheviks who took over Russia long enough to outsmart them with bullets and rewrite the constitution from liberal utopia to something more workable.
They pretty much ended up running same system in the end
If they didn't go to war world might have looked quite different today.
