In Capitalism, you can do what you want with them. Keep them, sell them, whatever. Under Communism, you can do what you want with your one potato - the neighbors get the rest, distributed evenly. Thus "everybody gets them". Hope that helps. :D

Probably one of the better bars that you need some knowledge on is the “Pride of Lenin took Trotsky out of the picture” line. Basically Trotsky was Stalin’s main rival in the party-could never agree on anything after Lenin kicked the bucket, so Stalin gave himself all the power he needed, kicked Trotsky out of Russia (later assassinating him in Mexico City) then slowly began editing photos (yeah they could do that in the 30s and 40s) to remove people who were more aligned with Trotsky

I wouldn't say trotsky was Stalin's main rival. Trotsky was never very popular within the party, Bukharin was more popular. Perhaps he was the loudest and after his exile he became a threat.

The red guy was Lenin. Stalin said “pride of Lenin took Trotsky out of the picture”. Stalin was essentially Lenin’s protege and Leon Trotsky was the main political rival of Stalin after Lenin died. After Stalin rose to power, he stripped Trotsky of his political power and exiled him from the Soviet Union. However, Stalin ended up perverting his mentor’s beliefs, hence why Lenin starts with “I have no pride for you who ruined everything my revolution was doing to stop the bourgeoisie!” The guy after him with the birth marks was Gorbachev, and obviously after that was Putin.

The reason the Czar's son Alexei (who had hemophilia) improved when Rasputin told the Czar and Czarina to stop the doctors' treatments was because the doctors were giving him aspirin. They didn't know then that aspirin is an anticoagulant and made Alexei's bleeding worse. The Czarina was convinced Rasputin saved Alexei and damn near worshipped him after that, to the point that there were rumors they were sleeping together. "If your name ends with 'in', time to get out" is still one of my favorite bars in ERB.

Putin isn’t a badass he’s a corrupt dictator and a war criminal

Aight, so, Rasputin is an interesting one. Probably gonna miss some stuff, but oh well. Rasputin was very much known as a womanizer, even at times claiming that orgies helped to cleanse the sin from the body. This of course led to him holding massive orgies in his basement while his wife and children were upstairs. His wife however is noted to have said, when questioned on her feelings about the orgies, that "There's more than enough of him to go around". This was in reference to the reported size of Rasputin's package, which in and of itself gave him fame. As for when you mentioned aspirin, that is actually the opposite of what he did. The son of the Tsar at the time had a condition to where his blood wouldn't clot when he was cut, so he could potentially bleed out from something as small as a paper cut. Rasputin was called upon by the Tsar himself after hearing of Rasputin's holy healing to help his son, and it was a good thing he did. The doctors themselvves were about to give the Tsar's son aspirin, which is a blood thinner, which would have hastened his death. Instead, Rasputin had all the doctors leave the room and led the Tsar's son in prayer, which calmed his nerves and slowed his heartbeat, allowing the blood to properly clot. Then there was the thing with the Tsar's wife. There were many rumors that Rasputin had slept with the Tsar's wife, since he was known for sleeping with married women, but nome of those rumors were ever substantiated, especially since the Tsar's wife called Rasputin "disgusting" and "undesirable" on more than one occasion.

I've slept with women who had just called me worse. Rasputin was ALL up in that.

Gorbachev easily has the best flow in the whole rap, came in spitting about everything he did in his leadership. Glastnost literally translates to “Openness” and it was his attempts to do what China did with the US and open the doors to some capitalism and show that Soviet Russia would play ball with the West to reduce a possible world war scenario. Namely, he did so by allowing fast food, namely McDonald’s to open restaurants, then basically had a meeting with Ronald Reagan, who at the time had the strongest anti-Soviet stance since the 1950s (look up the speech where he demands the Berlin Wall to come down) but once they had that meeting they became best friends and opened the doors to one another and Reagan was suddenly cool with what he saw Gorbachev doing. Baryshnikov was a ballet dancer who stirred a ton of controversy for being provocative and having some anti-communist remarks, but Gorby let him perform. And real power is a remark about his policy of “Realpolitik” I can’t explain that one in this whole comment lol so best to Google that one here.

Glasnost was about openness and transparency in politics. The idea was that the problems in the Soviet system could be more openly discussed.

The two others are Lenin (I think - the man in red) and Gorbachev (the one with the birthmark)

Entries 3 and 4 were Vladimir Lenin and Mikhail Gorbachev

Dave, I feel you with the searching up facts. I knew nothing about this one either which was why I kind of mostly skipped this one. You had Rasputin, Stalin, Lenin, Whoever the hell the birth mark guy was, and Putin. Your Freestyle was heat. CCCCC. I appreciate your reactions Dave. Have a nice day.

god, i remember when most of these early ERBs were released, i used to listen to them on repeat and get hype as fuck

I liked Gorbachev in this battle... "if your name ends with 'in', time to get out." The other 4 men in this battle all have last names that end with 'in'. I thought that was a really cool line.

Stopped the bleeding of Alexi, the only Romanov son(Anastasia's brother). He was born with a disease that keeps your blood from clotting because his mother descended from royal inbreeding.

Great reaction, can’t wait for the next one!

Nom de guerre (pronounced gare) means “War Name” in French, just like nom de plume means “pen name.”

Fun fact... The definition section for the word Savage should ( and probably does ) have a picture of Stalin next to it. Probably the only man who could give Hitler advice on sheer savagery...wait a sec.. he kinda did.

“Took Trotsky out of the picture” is such a good line

Stalin is easily one if not the scariest and most cruel leader there has ever been. He is way more scary than Hitler, because u didn’t have to do anything bad to end up dead, Stalin thinking that u would betray him was enough to make him want to kill u.

I learned about the first 3 in school, watched the 4th and 5th on TV. My love of reading to increase my knowledge is second only to my love of music and playing my guitar. Dont worry about missing some of the bars. Lenin threw Bar/diss combo's at both Rasputin and Stalin. Rasputin spit facts about Stalin, and Stalin burned himself with his admittedly poor rebuttal 🤣 Gorbachev and Putin had the best flows with Putin having the Hardest Bars.

I just saw your other video! Yes this is pretty much a history lesson.

uncle dave you rock

4th guy is Mikhail Gorbachev, the last leader of the Soviet Union before its dissolve in 1991. He's best known for his leadership role in ending the Cold War via his diplomacy with leaders like Reagan and Thatcher at the time. It was due to his more peaceful ideals that led to the tearing down of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and is still alive today!

FYI: aspirin is a low level, cheap anticoagulant (blood thinner), commonly prescribed at a low dose for daily use to aid in the prevention of internal blood clotting, which could otherwise lead to cardiac arrest or stroke.

Stalin used to try and break his PB every night in signing death warrants. The original speed runner.

I didn’t know about the Russian leaders prior to watching the ERB, but the reason he says big d mystic was because Rasputin was packing and they follow it up with Stalin saying “you got off east when they pickled that moose “rooster””. When Rasputin died, they had it severed and pickled and it’s in a museum somewhere

"That looks like PewdiePie" that's because it is him

He "stopped" the tsarevichs hemophilia by keeping the doctors giving him medicine that would thin his blood

"I even crush mother******* when I'm laid in state" There was an incident with multiple people getting trampled to death during Stalin's funeral procession.

If you want to know during the video who's who, you can check their description. They usually say who's in it, who's playing the part, and their KZread video. 1. Rasputin 2. Stalin 3. Lenin (Stalin said "pride of Lenin took Trotsky out of the picture" and he entered with "I have no pride for you...") 4. Gorbachev (if your name end with "in" time to get out is a fave coz look at the rest of the list, lol) 5. Putin Thanks for the consistent content tho dude!

Yeah Stalin's son Lieutenant Yakov Dzhugashvili was captured by the nazis and they wanted to exchange Stalin's son for a german Field Marshall but Stalin refused saying he would not trade a marshall for a lieutenant. He was a real ass.

If you want to make sure if more characters are going to appear in the battle, the video description often names who's playing who, so you can check that beforehand.

Second guy was Michael Gorbachev. I don't blame you for not knowing him. He was too recent for kids our age to learn about in school.

(Very) Brief rundown of Russian history as it pertains to this ERB: The rumors of Rasputin messing around with the Czar's wife were an agrivating factor in the fall of the Czars and paved the way for Joseph Lennin (the 3rd guy) to lead the communist revolt. Lennin didn't want Stalin to take over, but (it's rumored) Stalin had Trotsky, the next in line, assassinated. Stalin was faced with food shortages so forced entire regions to go without food if they even slightly objected to his leadership. )Interresting Note: in WW2 Russian artillery was nicknamed "Stalin's Organs" because they were lined up looking like church pipe organs). The 4th guy was Mikael Gorbechov who oversaw the opening of the USSR to the west, taking down the Berlin Wall and easing off of the socialist policies. The last was obviously Putin. 'Nuff said about him. (I choose life, lol)

Your reaction to Putin is so fuckin mint! Hahaha! Amazin vid

The third guy was Vladimir Lenin, the leader of the Russian revolution and the Bolshevik party that acted as the vanguard of the soviet masses. The idea was a departure from Karl Marx where a group of educated party leaders would guide the working class into a dictatorship of the proletariat, aka workers owning the means of production. The 4th guy was Gorbachev, who dissolved the Soviet Union and brought forward the period of glasnost, which means openess. As in the economy was open to trading with other countries and participate in Capitalist democracies. He was famous for his large birthmark on his head.

Stalin is a pseudonym, which is a literal translation of his surname into Russian (real surname Dzhugashvili - man of steel).

Moral of the story, don't fuck with the Russians. Like, ever LOL.. the fact that the United States and Russia are the only countries in the world who possess the thermodynamic nuclear warhead it's a little scary. Also, the United States and Russia are the only two countries in the world who still have one vial of the smallpox virus, which was completely eradicated I believe in 1975 or so. Smallpox took out thousands and thousands of years of Kingdoms, Royals, natives, Etc. In my opinion, if smallpox ever got out today, it would do a really good job at eradicating much of the population in the world...way worse than covid🥺

Rasputin stopped the bleeding and saved the life (at least for a while) of the the Russian prince who was a hemophiliac by basically getting him to relax and kicking out his doctors which were giving him medicine that unknowingly thins the blood. As for Stalin he would put quotas on farm production allowing them to keep what they do over that but would increase the quotas until they were impossible and the farmers were left with nothing. Which keep that in mind when you hear someone speak for communism or authoritarianism.

Rasputin didn't sleep with the Tsar's wife, this was just used as either propaganda or an insult aimed at discrediting the ruler of a country and a very common one during that time period. Sometimes true, sometimes false. They did that to Napoleon, Louis XVI...etc. However I think in Napoleon's case I think it happened and in Louis' case it's not proven that they had a physical relationship.

Red guy = Vladimir Lenin. Leader of communist revolution that overthrew Tsar Nicholas in 1917. Birth mark = Mikhail Gorbachev. Soviet president late 1980s - early 1990s.

You don't have to be a historian. Just know some basic history. These were all rulers/president of the USSR/Russia with the exception of Rasputin, who was just some dirty hippy who somehow managed to get in tight with the Russian royalty. The guy who was tinted red was Vladamir Lennin. He ruled Russia from 1917 to 1924. He was followed by Stalin who ruled from 1924 to 1953. The next guy with the birthmark on his head was Mikhail Gorbachev who was the last ruler of the Soviet Union. He was in office from 1985 to 1991. He was the guy who tore down the Berlin wall and allowed East and West Germany to be reunited. The last guy is the current president of Russia, Vladimir Putin. Karl Marx lived from 1818 to 1883. He was the guy who pretty much popularized the concepts of socialism and communism. With the direct result being well over 100 million people dead during the 100 years of the 20th century.
