The Russian monarchy ended about 39 years prior to the Hungarian Revolution in '56. The whole Russian Revolution thing and the murdering of the Romanovs and all that.

As if tankies aren't constantly simping for both Russia and China on here.

A little history refresher on the origin of the term

The term "tankie" was originally used by dissident Marxist–Leninists to describe members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) who followed the party line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). Specifically, it was used to distinguish party members who spoke out in defense of the Soviet use of tanks to crush the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the 1968 Prague Spring uprising, or who more broadly adhered to pro-Soviet positions.

So specifically being a tankie and supporting fascist bullshit go hand in hand and always have.

Being that the exterior is some sort of stucco/earthen kind of material, it would have been refinished on the outside multiple times in 600 years. There's buildings around 800 years old where I live that are in great condition because they've been well maintained. Also it's pretty typical for old religious buildings to have been added onto and modified in phases. Quite a lot of the big old churches in Europe changed in design and grew in size over 100s of years, for example.

Definitely sucks trying to find good content in other languages. I'm a native english speaker, but live in the EU now and I'd like to watch more content in the local language to help with my learning. It's just difficult to come by.

Really? I've heard it kinda sucks these days. I used to use it years back though and am a big Firefox supporter.
