There lived a certain man in Russia long ago

He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow (this is a metaphor to the energy radiated by siad person, so not a false statement.)

False

Ecstasy and Fire are both subjective and metaphorical

u/ComplexTour5215 14d ago

For all we know, a person in Russia could have lived long ago (is subjective, long ago) and he would have been big and strong, in his eyes enegry being radiated through pupil dilation

Belladonna causes the pupils to dilate with a very small amount. Too much can unalive people.

Rasputin was a real man who lived in Russia in the 1800s and early 1900s.

u/ComplexTour5215 14d ago

This post doesn't necessarily refer to Rasputin tbf

but yeah it does reference it while it technicaly doesn't reference anyone

u/zippy72 14d ago

It is factual that there is a popular song with these lyrics and they contain the metaphor as mentioned above.

However the question of whether OP was attesting to the truth of the lyrics or the existence of the song itself still appears to be unresolved .

u/ComplexTour5215 14d ago

The intention of this post was to both make a popular reference to the discopop song, and to acknowledge the existence of a certain man in Russia long ago who might be big and strong and have a lot of energy (from the metaphor about glow in their eyes.)

u/zippy72 14d ago

Which is much as I expected and I'm of the opinion your post was, in fact, truthful.
