Mikhail Tukhachevsky worshipped pagan idols wtf?
a journalist observed Tukhachevsky carving a "scary idol from colored cardboard", with "burning eyes", a "gaping mouth", and a "bizarre and terrible nose"
Tukhachevsky said “This is Perun. A powerful person. This is the god of war and death."
"I told you that the Slavs need a new religion. They are given Marxism, but there is too much modernism and civilization in this theology. (...) There is Dazhbog - the god of the Sun, Stribog - the god of the Wind, Veles - the god of arts and poetry...
"and finally, Perun - the god of thunder and lightning. After some deliberation, I settled on Perun, since Marxism, having won in Russia, will unleash merciless wars between people. I will honor Perun every day."
and people say purging this Napoleonchik was a mistake, hahaha
Saint Stalin purging the demonic Tukhachevsky
