Templars

it is definitely a mess. considering the USSR wasn't so keen on templars, plus if Stalin was a Templar, then why did he arrest or kill Templars? TheGorg14 (talk) 03:00, May 4, 2020 (UTC)

Stalin wasn’t a Templar. And who specifically are you saying he arrested or killed? Lacrossedeamon (talk) 03:17, May 4, 2020 (UTC)

Did you mean that the article is a mess? I will take a closer look at it later. Essentially all our articles on countries and regimes are a mess right now. Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 04:33, May 4, 2020 (UTC)

I meant that Stalin isn't a Templar or a Puppet of one considering a Templar site (a real site) bashed him for killing Templars in the Great Purge. TheGorg14 (talk) 18:21, May 4, 2020 (UTC)

Is that event you're citing a real-world one? Has it been mentioned in an Assassin's Creed source? Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 18:59, May 4, 2020 (UTC)

Real world source, yes. plus if he was a Templar puppet, then the Templars would have automatically booted him due to his Communist nature (since this is the Templars, God's holy warriors we're talking about) and the only for it to be considered as puppetry is for the Russian Orthodox Church to have its head of the churchs during WWII at the time Sergius I of Moscow  and his successor  Alexy I of Moscow to become Templars themselves. Here's a real world source, The Templar Knight Chastising Stalin in 2011.TheGorg14 (talk) 18:22, May 5, 2020 (UTC)

Well maybe Stalin found out he had been manipulated by the Templars and that’s why he persecuted them. Did you ever think of that? Lacrossedeamon (talk) 18:42, May 5, 2020 (UTC)

Multiple Assassin's Creed sources state his public affiliation with the Templars, so that trumps any real life source related to a group with the same name. I strongly doubt that the Templars from the video games, who were at that point a very secretive order operating to manipulate the highest level of government from behind the scenes, are the same as the public group known as the Knights Templar from that source. -- Master Sima Yi _Talk 20:01, May 5, 2020 (UTC)

but, isn't this the case that the Knights Templar is the Templars? isn't AC trying to tell us that Jacques De Molay, Robert De Sable, and that Borgia guy isn't actual Templars that influenced the Post-Crusade Templars? plus the Soviet Union would have not accepted the Templar Order (unless your name is Mikhail Gorbachev, who introduced Privatization in 1980s)  because of its intolerance to Atheism. TheGorg14 (talk) 18:10, May 6, 2020 (UTC)
