Character: Anna Pavlovna Scherer

Our good and miraculous Emperor will have the greatest role in the world, and he is so virtuous and good that God will not forsake him, and he will fulfill his vocation to crush the Hydra of revolution, which is now even worse in the person of this murderer and villain. We alone must atone for the blood of the righteous. In whom we hope, I ask you?.. England with her commercial spirit will not understand and can not understand the soul of the Emperor Alexander. She refused to clean up Malta. She wants to see, looking back the thought of our actions. What they said Novoseltseva? Nothing. They did not understand they could not understand self-sacrifice of our Emperor who wants nothing for himself, and all he wants for the good of the world. And what they promised? Nothing. And what is promised, and not to be! Prussia has already declared that Bonaparte is invincible, and that all Europe can do nothing against him...
