    Fun fact: the early US government also relied heavily on tax on alcohol. By the end of the 19th century up to 25% of the federal tax revenue came from alcohol sales. It is due to Prohibition that the federal income tax rose to become the primary source of revenue.

    For anyone wondering, Michael I was made Tsar because his father was Patriarch Filaret of Moscow (granting some much needed religious legitimacy) and his grandaunt was Tsaritsa Anastasia, Ivan the Terrible’s first wife who he (rightfully, as testing of her remains in 1990s would reveal) believed was murdered by the boyars.

      "UK's royals and the Nazis
      George's son Edward VIII became king in 1936. Less than a year later, he abdicated for love and married Wallis Simpson, an American divorcee. His brother Albert ascended the British throne as George VI.
      At the time, the Nazis and Adolf Hitler had long since gained a firm grip on Germany, with the world watching the Third Reich with interest and skepticism. Edward and Albert's mother, Queen Mary, insisted that her sons not forget their German roots - after all, they also had plenty of relatives in Hitler's Germany.
      For his part, Edward openly showed sympathy for the Nazis. One photo taken in 1937 shows the duke and his wife smiling and shaking hands with Hitler.
      Just a few years ago, a video emerged showing Edward and his sister-in-law practicing the Hitler salute with two little girls - Margaret and Elizabeth, with the latter one day becoming the queen of England. The snippet was filmed by Elizabeth's father, King George VI.
      To this day, the British do not like to be reminded of the at times cordial relations of the British aristocracy with the German Nazis, trying as much as possible to keep evidence of such connections under wraps.
      How German is King Charles III?
      The mother of Queen Elizabeth II was British, so she was only partly of German descent - even if she did display some stereotypical German virtues throughout her life, including discipline and a sense of duty.
      Her husband Philip, however, had predominantly German ancestors and spoke fluent German. In 1947, he became a British citizen and, shortly before his marriage to Elizabeth, relinquished his German title of nobility and called himself only "Mountbatten."
      Their eldest son, the new King Charles III, has a bloodline made up of roughly half German ancestors".

    33:25 Marx's 10 point plan was followed by the Bolsheviks perfectly, it was not Marxist doctrine that said the state would fade away and many of Marx's contemporaries like Russian Mikhail Bakunin said Marx's plan was nothing more than the worship of state power. What Marx actually said was, "the class system would be abolished and the state would no longer be necessary to enforce the interests of one class over another". So totalitarianism would no longer be needed since the entire population would have no desire to fight back. This is why the Soviets and their acolytes like China were the ultimate example Marx's ideals. In practice unless Marxism enslaves the entire globe it will conform to the world around it. So no Marx never said the state would fade away!

    The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was seen by both the USSR and Hitler's Reich as a temporary agreement, with eventual war between the powers inevitably being the end result. There was never any serious consideration on either side by any notable figure, besides Ribbentrop, that non-aggression between the nations, who's ideologies were diametrically opposed to one another, would last, and both nations spent the meantime between the pact and Barbarossa rebuilding their military forces for said war.

      @@nich7622 I'm russian and I don't agree with you. A dictionary is always better than Google translator :)
      In case of Ivan, "Грозный" = "Cruel" + "Strict" + "Powerful".
      Formidable and other words above are based on the word "Fear".
      The base of the word "Грозный" is "Danger" (noun). And literraly the adjective is "Bringing danger". He was danger for common people because he was Ruthless and Merciless.
      I think "Merciless" (беспощадный) is the closest meaning of "Грозный" in this case.
      It inspires fear, but it's not directly "Fearful" or "Formidable". And even more so, it's quite far from "Terrible". I haven't a clue why the whole world calls him "Terrible" :)
