              oh he didn't do anything wrong because he basically didn't do anything, he was just "officially" in charge until Khrushchev took over in a few weeks after Stalin kicked the bucket. maybe some will say that's better than Gorby lol

    It's basically just a weird spelling of Michaela, and pretty much every spelling of Michaela is weird anyway.

    Imagine choosing an academic field of study for reasons based on trying to understand the Soviet Union and never even cracking open any marxist theory beyond the Communist Manifesto lmfao

      Lobster Man is the quintessential reddit bro. All the trappings of intellectualism, none of the curiosity and academic rigor.

    Like, the spelling is non-standard but it's a perfectly acceptable slavic feminine form of Michael.

    Also imagine getting into psych for the communism and not like, getting to Lacan or Althusser (or you know, through State and Revolution)

    What if he started as a grifter, trying to push socialism forward by making anti-communist ideologues look absurd and crazy. He was trying to go as far out there as he could, like "Lobsters prove communism is unnatural" and "Solzhenitsyn is an honest reporter of Soviet crimes and not a Fascist" . But he was corrupted by the CHUDs that kept giving him money, and his own fame. The internal conflicts and self-hatred caused him to turn to Benzos and flee back to his adopted home country of the Soviet Union.

      I'm like 99% there aren't a lot of countries left on this world where he didn't get some experimental benzo addiction treatment
