Greetings, Comrades!
Today’s episode will be slightly different than planned, but nonetheless interesting! Today we’ll find out why Czar Nicholas II wasn’t as meek or neutral as people tend to portray him. In fact, Bolsheviks learned a lot from him. In the bad way. All in all, enjoy this, longer than usual episode, while we set the stage for even more Lenin. And go and listen to Inward Empire show in the mean time.
Metric System – US Military Muskets were using Metric Machine Threads until the Civil War. The first US Military Muskets (Model 1795) were copies of the French Charleville Model 1763/66.
thanks for the bit about Leedskalnin, I had no idea he was part of that movement. I visited his Coral Castle,(I think I tweeted a pic or something) it’s pretty cool, lizards everywhere!
is Leedskalnin famous in Latvia?
does anyone know who he is?
Yep, he’s well known here. Mostly about the Coral Castle, tho, but he’s one of our historical celebrities.
