      the Communist Revolution was secretly funded by the West to sabotage the glory of Imperial Russia” is also something I’ve never heard,

      Really? “Lenin is a German/British/[insert enemy]” spy has been a conspiracy for decades, pretty much since 1917 itself. It’s especially popular in Russia. Putin himself proclaimed that “Lenin has laid a landmine under Russia” in an official speech. I don’t know how you haven’t heard that one.
