Dear Bohdan;

What horrible days these last few have been. The fools all marched down to the palace. Wanting the Czar to meet with them. The guards said no, and started shooting. Didn’t they know the czar wasn’t there? Well I guess I found out what Viktor was doing all those nights, working with father Gapon. He was at the lead of the march, but unlike father Gapon he was brave enough to stay there. Viktor was shot and killed.

The czar, ha, I have supported him all these years, but no more! I have seen the light through the shroud of his oppression. He doesn’t care for his people. It’s just whatever makes him richer. Why are we still losing the war? The Czar. Why are we all poor? The czar. Why was a wife made a widow, and children fatherless? The czar. It’s all him. It’s all his fault. Finally the czar and czarina deny all faults in the matter? Deny killing my brother. Dam them. God has turned his back on Russia for the sins of a few.

The past week have although made one thing clear to me. Russia needs one thing and one thing alone. An end to the tyranny of the czar’s reign must end. A new government representing all people must be created. No matter the cost. Lives may be lost; yes, but how many die each day from hunger. If we must die to stop death than surely this is a just sacrifice. We must die if need be, die for the cause. russian revolution timeline

The children and women are all fine. The children are all to young to realize why Viktor isn’t coming home. Without Viktor’s income, which is almost twice that of mine, I’m not sure how we will get bye. Times have though been rough before. We’ll survive. We always do.

Alexander
