Mikhail Mikhailovich Prishvin. Early diaries 1905-1917 (№ 320511)

The king didn't believe in myself, as in the Anointed one, faith took Rasputin, he seized power and trampled the king in the dirt. Whip Rasputin - the expansion of the Church, Nicholas - the expansion of the state combined for the destruction of the old order (the people screaming about treason). Ministers make speeches, referring to the city councils, the Congress, the advice of Congress, to the provincial committees County, township and village. But in all these conventions, boards and committees, and various self-styled Ministers also say the speech, and so all of Russia is making a speech, and nobody does anything, and the whole of Russia a continuous meeting of people. Whiners now no, a lot scared, but no whiners: life is interesting.
