Quotes

God has seen your tears and heard your prayers. Fear not, the child will not die.

"I wish to make known to the Russian people, to Papa [Nicholas II] the Russian mother and to the children, to the land of Russia, what they must understand. If I am killed by common assassins, and especially by my brothers the Russian peasants, you, Tsar of Russia, have nothing to fear, remain on your throne and govern... But if I am murdered by nobles and if they shed my blood, their hands will remain soiled with my blood, for twenty-five years they will not wash their hands from my blood. They will leave Russia. Brothers will kill brothers... if it was your relations who have wrought my death then no one of your family, that is to say none of your children or relations, will remain alive for more then two years." (Grigori Rasputin, in a 1916 letter to the tsarina).

The tsar can change his mind from one minute to the next; he's a sad man; he lacks guts.

Let papa (Nicholas II) not plan war. It will be the end of Russia and all of us. We shall be destroyed to the last man.
