“Hey, Alexa. Bring up a picture of Stephen Miller and put a twirly mustache on him. My God, Mr. Stolypin, welcome back.”

Memes aside, I read a book that was too Based for even this #1 Dunc Podcast that went into the terror of Russia before the Revolution and it’s absolutely shocking. Thank you for bringing these events and this great man to the attention of your dear readers.

This has been my favorite article on the Substack for a while now. All it takes is *one* guy who knows what has to be done, is given the power to do so and instantly you get a positive outcome.

It's incredible what one man with the political willpower can accomplish with the tools many of his compatriots always had access to. A sobering thought that many politicians are simply stumbling blocks, but a hope that with some inspired young men in the right places things can be improved faster than some believe.

In a another article I thought I remembered you saying that giving peasants private ownership was actually a popular proposal that was cynically adopted by the bolsheviks to pull the rug out from the other party—forgive my ignorance that I'm trying to remedy. I guess here you're saying that it wasn't popular just among left and right politicians alike in the Duma?
