For Russia fans who are tired of
people referring to him as Satan, I hope this does him justice.
Let’s just do a quick catch up so
people know what we’re talking about. Basically, the chair was cursed by an
Englishman just before his execution. It’s rumoured that those who sit on it
will die and/or be dragged down into hell, as it is still haunted by his ghost.
For example, there are claims that
Canadian troops who sat on it in a pub during WW2 never made it back from the
war-front.
When England tries to curse America by using the chair,
Russia accidentally sits on it. Much to everyone’s surprise, the chair
explodes.
In another instance, England attempts
to summon a demon, but Russia pops up in the circle instead.
This took me a while to figure out,
but I think I’ve got it. Basically, Busby’s chair exploded because Russia is so
cursed himself that it overpowered the effects of it. I’m sure that most of you
have heard the saying that those who try to invade Russia in the winter will
inevitably fail, and miserably at that. Russia himself even hates General Winter
regardless of how many times he’s been saved by him. Why? Because General
Winter also attacks him on a yearly basis.
As for being summoned? I think it’s a
really strange metaphor for how Russia perceives himself to be trapped in his
own personal hell. In his song “Winter” he talks about a darkness that cuts off
all light:
“To see through the origins of good and evil
Goodbye
To what lies beyond the darkness (…)
Cutting off all light (…)
A fleeting nightmare”
Put another way: England summoned
Russia because according to the latter, he’s already living in hell.
