Oh, I meant “speak” in the physical sense, as he legitimately refused to speak Russian to the degree where his courtiers noted that the few times he did, he had a foreign accent in Russian by softening several letters incorrectly. He mostly only spoke English. His family on the other hand didn’t even know Russian as you yourself said.

I think I confused him somewhat with Alexander the first, who was literally a French worshiper who refused to speak anything but French.

Also Lionheart was a moron. He spent the vast majority of his life in the Middle East getting his shit pushed in by Saladin, then spent a few years galloping around France while England was burning in the background. His brother was the icing on the cake that legitimately almost destroyed the Bri’sh royalty and led to the Magna Carta.

He didn’t just circulate it, he ordered, funded, and supported it’s creation. The author was the ultra-nationalist, fascist, Pavel Krushevan who was Imperial official and a Black Hundredist.

He basically laid the groundwork for 20th century anti-semitism, Jewish eradication, and the creation of Zionism.

Shorty after the Protocols were sent out, the Tsar propagandized the murder of the small boy (he was obviously killed by a family member as the police determined within the first day along with a confession from said family member) despite that the tsar and Krushevan spread the lie that it was blood libel. This directly caused the Kishinev Progrom which exterminated a large number of Jews and stripped tens of thousands of their property and belongings.
