The wheel of history is rolling forward, and personal destiny is destined or self-inflicted

The film made in the UK in 1971, with its magnificent history and tragic personal fate, is full of emotion. It stands to reason that after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the declassified documents provided more detailed details, but judging from the materials read, the story is true, indicating that the British took this film seriously back then. It should be seen from the historical development of the Soviet Union and Russia later. Whether people pay attention to it or not, this mirror will always shine on the current and future development path, and this alarm bell will always sound. The desire for power is the most basic of human nature. In order to gain power, all means are used, and the troubled times have created the conditions for this kind of life-and-death struggle. Under a dictatorship, when you have power, you will be stubborn, regardless of the life and death of the people. This is a massacre, a major historical event. Due to the stupidity and lack of character of the third Tsar, it opened the bloody fight in Eurasia. Dictators cannot escape the judgment of history, and any totalitarian rule will eventually be wiped out. This is not only the tragedy of the Romanov dynasty in Russia, but also the tragedy of the royal system. The people make history because they are numerous and powerful, and the people's instinctive ability to survive will overthrow any force. Whether the people conform to the trend of history, push history forward, or play the role of the rabble to make history go backwards, it all has its rationality. The rulers of a country should focus on the people's livelihood, meet their survival needs, and realize their life value. Empty slogans can deceive for a while, but not forever. Judging from the movie, the third tsar missed many opportunities and created conditions for his own demise step by step. The real history is always full of stories, and the characters in the movie are very successful. It is the first time I have heard the story of the little crown prince and the rogue priest. The Chinese translation refers to relevant documents after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and the attitude is very serious.

  • [seeing a young girl]

    Rasputin: So, you'd like to be an opera singer? Yes, you have the chest for it.

  • Rasputin: I don't hate anyone. And yet, so many enemies. I'm not rich, what I get, I give away, I take no vengeance on the men I remove from office. When you fall, I won't abuse you.
