"eternal spring" like khabib team: all company owners give ownership and highest positions to 18-36yo, who'll also do the same when they reach 36 and stay in the background as advisors, that way every new youth will begin their conquests from a higher place than the previous (countercheck: the 36-54yo can still restart anew with other young men if they picked the wrong ones), and they'll carry with them their entire generation

"Tsar Nicholas II, who looks dashing in a hussar outfit—and who I too like to remember as a symbol of what was done to Europe by its enemies; and nevertheless, he was a stupid man who is to be blamed for what he lost."

Factually correct! He should not have put himself in charge of armies. He should have stayed as a political figure.
