Is she holding two scepters? Or is that part of the robe?

Fuck imperialism. But also, fuck monarchies too.
Kippysweetpants
Sorry. This is not the queen. Just a Mongolian lady

Tiin kwēn!
davedccronin365
This is really cool to know, thank you
zanaria
Also looks like Rita Repulsa from Power Rangers took inspiration from her... Or the other way around, not sure...

Did anyone else think this was Bjork’s mom?
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
nah, that's Björk
Hashbrown123
Wasn't she imprisoned in a space dumpster for 10000 years?
Ryzanify
“Was inspired by her” works too ?
ExcellenceInExecution
She also broke up the Beatles
maddeninglemon
If you're still smart, explain how Queen Amidala was based on someone from 1938 when she was Queen a long time ago? That violates causality.
Khazuki
1939 was a long time ago, dude. And Mongolia is like...really far away, man.

"Inspiration". Looks like a copy
TheFastpaws
Russia has been a cancer upon the world for a very long time.
Zixtank
She looks badass
Freyja33
They killed her cause her husband's court had been loyal to the White Army. Don't agree with it, but they had reason to see her as an enemy.
Freyja33
Not trying to justify it, just saying war is fucked up. People die. People kill each-other. This is hardly unique to Stalinist Russia.
Freyja33
Seeing this as somehow different from similar actions by other nation-states is exceptionalism, which is a right-wing nationalist sentiment
TacoFox
Same murdering mindset is going strong in Orc Land.
8bitRosie
I didn't think Amidala when I saw this, I thought Kosh of Babylon 5
otterkrylon
lol "took inspiration" try: stole look wholesale
Fenwick1344
Thought this was Bjork for a second
cryborg
Why is Putin acting like it is still 1938?
aussiedragonfruit
Because he is a prick
Treblaine
Same reason they were acting like it was 1238 in 1938. They're like a Galapagos island retaining the medieval mindset in government.
firecloud42
Oh that that was Rita
GoblinTit
The Star Wars character canonically couldn't take inspiration from her. The producers of the film took inspiration from her.
LarosTheRed
Apparently that photograph is not the queen but commonly attributed to her. Source Wikipedia

That’s interesting, because the pic Wikipedia has that *is* her is very similar. I can see why it was misattributed. I wonder who this /1
CarlottaVonSprockett
lady really is? 2/2
tanebot
Her faithful bodyguard, of course.

In those early days it was common to use a recreated photo and attribute it as the subject in the same way one would do with a drawing. The>

Check out the important spot the clock gets in the picture. Maybe early advertising? Or family treasures

...maybe you should read history books to see "fucking russia" is kind of on the low end of getting away with shit (tip: most of Europe)

And without them I'd likely be speaking Japanese, most of you would be speaking German.

There are also interesting analysis about how Russia may have pushed for western Europe had Hitler been assassinated

The reason Russia is the way it is right now is The Golden Horde. Too long to explain here, but it's a cool history rabbit hole to fall into

kwyjiboner
I can assure you that the Mongolians got away with much more for much longer.
wellladeedaa
This is completely irrelevant. The people didn't get away with things, authority did. Still the same as today. Authority can murder freely
PicassoCT
Ina wild campaign of rob and murder, the people become the authority locally. That from the top excuse doesn't work out else Germans on meth
MoriMeta
The thing is, Russian regime, they called it communism never was shamed in russia. Instead supported and deeply missed. But if has to be.
myusernameisntfunny
So they deserve it?

I can assure you genghis khan didnt go around killing all willy nilly, maybe his descendants did though

It’s literally the whole world that did this shit. US stole Hawaii from the native royal family. Britain colonized everywhere
Jonmbram
Yeah I was going to say. We (the US) brutally and violently stole Hawaii. Not many first world countries are not guilty.
BewareTheIceSpiders
Then there's the parts it conquered from Mexico... Manifest Destiny is a bitch.
eetsumkaus
well, not literally the whole world. There's the part of the world that got taken...
NeoDarkElf
"Total of 62 countries have gained independence from the United Kingdom. This is followed by France with 28, Spain with 17, The USA with 5."
BewareTheIceSpiders
In the case of the USA its mostly Spanish colonies it won from Spain in the America-Spanish war. Not colonies or conquests, they liberated /
BewareTheIceSpiders
them more than anything.
Bawdiepie
"Liberated". Like manifest destiny "liberated" native americans I suppose.
BewareTheIceSpiders
Nope, manifest destiny was quite different. You'll notice those territories didnt gain independance
fightfightfightlosewinfight
damn, USA needs to get a-conquering
eetsumkaus
or we've conquered so well nobody can get or wants independence from us
Bawdiepie
Or letting places go...
