Fake History Porn

Welcome to /c/fakehistoryporn@lemmy.world , where fake history is made. Find a historically significant photo, come up with a fake history title, post it, laugh.

The name is a reference to the fact that the pictures should be worth marveling at. This is NOT a place for hardcore pornography. Tasteful nudity is fine as long as it fits within the context of the post (please mark it as NSFW).

Yeltsin was the assassin that illegally dissolved the USSR though. What did the pope do to the USSR? Tell Gorbachev that god hates him?

John Paul II, the Polish Pope, visited Poland in 1979. It was the first papal visited in the Soviet Union and ended up igniting a workers revolution for independence which inturn broke up the Soviet block.

Oh heck, didn't know the papal visit helped spark that! Thanks!
