Good To Be The Tsar
Until you aren't the Tsar anymore. It's such a temptation to go overboard with this kind of look but Tsar Nicolas always struck the right note, fashion wise.

Apart from being an autocratic dictator, he was a man of great restraint.
Who truly loved his people but was trapped by a system of wealthy boyars which kept the people in a state of perpetual serfdom. He got caught in the crossroads of history which he didn't have the tools to survive in.
He looked very stylish right up until that last train ride.
If you let your people starve, they will revolt. France was the same thing. (I only know a little of this kind of history, but when people are starving they have nothing to lose.)
That is one smoov-looking doomed aristocrat. I always wonder why he and his wife didn't flee for their lives in time. You'd think he would have, for his family's sake. Also heard somewhere that Marie Antoinette and Louis got caught because Lard A-s Louis insisted on having a huge meal before their escape.
They could not believe that they would be killed. Royals were exiled to other nations, not shot and burned and then have their ashes buried in a forest in Siberia. That's some cold Bolshevik bullshit. The kids too. Fuck Stalin.
