Just gonna point out that the Anastasia animated movie depicts Rasputin as starting the Russian Revolution despite him getting offed a year before the revolution started.
That movie is a fascinating window into how and why libs think revolutions occur, though.
revolutionaryth0t did a good video getting mad at/debunking all the ahistorical nonsense in that
I just realized there’s an extra layer of irony to it as the person who made the film, Don Bluth, also made An American Tail. In that film, a pogrom by the tsar-led Cossacks is a major plot point as it’s what drives the protagonist’s family out of Russia and to the US. So the man couldn’t even keep it straight if the Romanovs were blood thirsty antisemites or lovable fairy tale nobles.
Lovable fairy tale antisemites.
Well he was imitating Disney in many other ways

I still can't believe that a barely post Cold War kids movie set in the Russian Revolution missed the opportunity to make Lenin the villain.
But, then they'd have had to draw him (he's like the Soviet Bear, impossible to draw in cartoon style without him looking cute) and give him a cool villain song. Lots of little reds might have been born from that.
Think we may have a winner
