                  Well there’s that too. I forgot about that in all the current concern about Putin attacking Ukraine - an act, when it happens, whose origins will undoubtedly be traced back to Nicholas’ already dubious imperial legacy.

                          He could've been known as the guy from Home Alone 2, but no.... instead he's remembered as the guy with a failed steaks company.
