Holy Russia, Myth or Reality?

[tchaika]

Holy Russia - Mikhail Vasilyevich Nesterov (1901 - 1905).

[tchaika]

"Regardless of transient intentions of changing leaders and builders of Imperial Russia, in the depths of their roots deep into the immutable-resistant national life, continued to live Holy Russia.

In his diary, Nicholas II wrote: "Around treason and cowardice and deceit!"

Here are the words of Churchill (Winston Churchil), the former at the time of the Revolution the British minister of war (from his book "The world crisis. 1916 - 18., Volume I. London. 1927. P. 223-225),:" ... In March, King was on the throne, the Russian Empire and the Russian army were kept, the front was secured and the victory was unquestionable.
The despair and betrayal seized power when the task was already done. The long retreat ended; slug hunger defeated; arms flowed a broad stream, stronger, more numerous, better equipped army guarding the vast front, rear assembly points were crowded with people. Alekseev led the army and Kolchak - Fleet. No tough action is no longer needed: to remain in office, a heavy load to push wide stretching Germanic line; hold without showing special activity, weakening the enemy on its front, in other words - hold on, that's all that stands between Russia and the fruits of our common victory .
According to the surface mode of our time, the Imperial system adopted interpreted as a blind, rotten, no matter what is not capable of tyranny. But an analysis of thirty months of war with Germany and Austria should have corrected these lightweight performance.
The force of the Russian Empire, we can measure the impact of which she suffered by disaster, she suffered from the inexhaustible forces that had developed, and to restore the force to which she was capable of.
Why refuse to Nicholas II in this ordeal? The burden of recent decisions lay upon him. At the top, where the events exceed human intelligence, where all the unknown, had to provide answers to him. The compass needle was he. To fight or not fight? Attack or retreat? Go right or left? Agree to democratize or remain firm? To leave or resist? Here - the battlefields of Nicholas II. Why not give him for this honor? The selfless impulse Russian armies, who saved Paris in 1914, overcoming a painful bessnaryadnogo retreat; slow recovery of strength; Brusilovsky victory, the accession of Russia to the 1917 campaign undefeated, stronger than ever, perhaps in all of this was his share? That system, which is incarnated in him, which he led, to whom his personal qualities he gave a spark of life - this time won the war for Russia.
That's it now at once. Interferes with a dark hand, first clothed madness. The king descends from the stage. Him and all His loving devotees to suffering and death. His efforts diminish; His actions condemned; His memory is tarnished ... stop and say: but who else was suitable? As talented and courageous people, people of proud and ambitious spirit, brave and power - there was no shortage. But no one was able to answer those few questions, on which depended the life and glory of Russia. Holding a victory already in hand, she fell to the ground alive as of old Herod, eats worms. "

inhabitants of forests and fields, Nicholas II was not limited. On the eve of the arrival of the Emperor to the place of hunting representatives of court administration appealed to the peasants with a good deal - for a fee to take dogs, cats and even ... sparrows. The whole of the livestock had to replenish the number of royal trophies. Thus, in the same year, His Majesty became targets of 899 stray dogs and 1322 cats!http://www.flb.ru/infoprint/42846.html
