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?

April 4, 1917 Petrograd
Dear Journal;
Another great day for Russia has come upon us, Lenin has returned, and none too soon if you ask me. The people long for his words “land, bread and peace” has become his motto. He promises things we have not seen since 1983, when I was still just a boy, and [...]
