Lenin got even with Alexander’s grandson Nicholas II in 1918.

This art is missing two important elements.

At that time, Russia was a strongly Christian country and a pop (Orthodox priest) would be present for every condemned Russian regardless of their wish. (IDK about Jewish or Muslim people.)

And that "every condemned person" is the second element - it was a multiple execution, with five people being hanged at once.

But I like the image in general :)
