Tarot Card meanings:
0:05 - "The Sun"
Upright Meaning (Keywords): happiness, success, optimism, vitality, joy, confidence, happiness, truth
0:06 - "Death"

0:07 - "Wheel of Fortune"
Reversed Meaning (Keywords): bad luck, lack of control, clinging to control, unwelcome changes, delays
Also, the picture frame in the thumbnail and at 0:33 should have the other SSRs in it as well, I was just too lazy to make designs for all of them lol
The SSRs in the frame (left to right):
Top row: Kazakh SSR, Russian SFSR, USSR, Transnistria (technically not a republic but stfu), Byelorussian SSR
Bottom row: Ukrainian SSR, Latvian SSR, Lithuanian SSR, Estonian SSR
Other lore facts:
- Ukraine is Russia's aunt, technically, but he views her like an older sister.
- Ukraine and Russia used to be very close, even after the USSR's death, but their relationship began to decay in the early 2000s
- Russia saw the decay of their relationship to be Ukraine betraying him
- Russia (and Transnistria) blame their family distancing themselves from them as America and NATO's fault
- America treated most of the SSRs as his own children during the collapse of the USSR and after his death
- Many of them still consider America to be a parental figure. Russia still does deep down he just won't admit it. (Transnistria does not and never has)
