  • Not quite like the albums you mentioned, but here’s some stuff that all incorporates some classical instruments with modern rock instruments

    • Laideronnette or zatracenie by matryoshka - maybe the most like what you mentioned, ambient-ish with strings and piano
    • イリヤ (- il y a -) by 夢中夢 (mutyumu) - maybe a bit avant-garde, but makes heavy use of strings and piano
    • Enjoy Eternal Bliss by Yndi Halda - post-rock with strings
    • ONDA by JAMBINAI - Korean post-rock that mixes traditional Korean instruments with modern rock instruments

  • Please note that Tsar Nicholas II was a horrid authoritarian ruler with a lot of fucking blood on his hands. We’re talking to the tune of millions.

    The Podcast Behind the Bastards did an excellent, four part series, on good ol’ Nicky the Second. Great listen.

    But this is what many authoritarians look like. Ordinary people, with ordinary fascinations and family.

    A lot of people like to cut him some slack, like “oh but he loved his family and was a great family man!” It reminds me of people who say Hitler was a great public speaker and artist or whatever. 🙄
