Despite its evidently restricted character, the [Soviet] elections in 1937 were perceived by many ordinary people as an opportunity to participate in framing a new constitutional order. The turnout reached 96.8 per cent of the electorate. Some ballots were spoilt. In one district 97 per cent of votes cast were valid, the remainder defaced in some way, or the candidate’s name erased. In Novosibirsk region the name ‘Trotsky’ was written in on one ballot, ‘I am voting for the heavenly Tsar’ on another, and ‘We are not voting’ on a third.⁹

If I was a Soviet official I'd probably laugh at that ballot and frame it.

Man people really are psycho sometimes. Imagine thinking fondly of the czar in the 30s.

Why people support Monarchism is always fucking nuts and anger-inducing.

Nowadays? Well you had a "cute queen" (heavy quotes) for a while in the British monarchy. So people really didn't experience the true "horrors" of monarchism unless you were in a third world country getting couped for private interests that the crown had a hand in.

In the 30s? IN RUSSIA? You had people who were alive under the Czar. Unbelievable.
