The Start of a Long Journey
June 4, 1894 Moscow
My name is Alexander Denisei; I was named after the first Czar of my father, Alexander III. Growing up I remember my father, Fusic Denisei, asking God’s blessing on The Czar every day. My father was killed in an industrial accident when I was just 13,
With just my mother working there wasn’t […]
Happy Times in Moscow
January 20, 1895 Moscow
Dear Bohdan;
It has been a long time my friend to long since we have been in contact, and I assume full responsibility. I apologize for responding to your last letter, but it has been hectic around here for the past nine months or so with my wife being with child.
On that subject […]
A Disaster of a Picnic
May 27, 1896
Dear journal;
What an “eventful” day today has been. Another show of the incompetence by the czar’s advisors ordering less beer and mugs than necessary for the picnic. How is the czar expected to concentrate on pressing affairs of state when he is constantly cleaning up the mess of those under him?
Let me explain […]
Tragic News from Alexander
November 11, 1904 St. Petersburg
Dear Journal;
It has been a long time since my last entry, and many things have happened since then.

Bloody Sunday
January 31, 1905 St. Petersburg
Dear Bohdan;

Goals of the Russian Revolution
April 24, 1915 Western Front
Dear Journal;
Here I lay in my bed, condemned for the sins of another. To say the war is going well would be a lie; it is far from going well. I long to be at home with my dear family: my beloved wife, my dear cherished daughter. Alas, here I am […]
Summary of Russian Revolution
September 4, 1915 Petrograd
Dear Journal;
The social democrats have fallen completely. The Czar, in recent days, has tightened his grip on the country. The Duma has proven its self completely useless, being just a little puppet of the czar outing on a show for all the lowly peasants who know no better than to believe it […]
Facts About the Russian Revolution
March 12, 1917 Petrograd
Dear Journal;
So much has happened today. Just as I said would happen the czar has been overthrown, thanks God. A giant revolution, men in the streets, running everywhere. Many men lost their lives today in conflicts between the troops, but what a glorious day for all of Russia none the less. At […]
