Russian conspiracy-theory: Russia defeated Napoleon in 1812 with a nuclear bomb. [View all]



This is an actual russian conspiracy-theory. When Napoleon conquered Moscow in 1812, the Russians evacuated the population and set the whole city on fire, to deny Napoleon his victory of occupying the capital (and presumably to deny his army shelter during winter).

Well that's what "they" want you to think. What ACTUALLY happened is that Russia nuked Moscow. The evidence? Some russian politician bought a villa in France and supposedly found the diary of french officer in Napoleon's army. And in this diary, the officer basically describes a nuclear explosion and radiation-sickness. And Noooooooo, you cannot see the diary for yourself. Just trust me.





A russian colleague once told me another conspiracy-theory: The Ukraine-war that is going on right now is actually a plot by Poland to use Ukraine as a proxy to destroy Russia, and this sinister polish plot has been set into motion in 1800. The Polish just hate Russia. And that's why Russia is justified in invading Poland. Because Poland is and has always been the REAL aggressor and Russia is and has always been the REAL victim.
