Context: Tsar Nicholas II and Rasputin hanging out together. In real history, Rasputin got assassinated, the revolution followed, and the whole Romanov family was executed in 1918. This ‘good ending’ meme imagines an alternate timeline where the Russian Empire survived with Rasputin’s mystic powers keeping the monarchy alive.
Getting stuck with a brutal dictatorship and their grifting attachés doesn’t feel like the good ending.

And nothing of value was lost. One r*ssian empire gone, next one rose.
