What a harrowing true story. A true unbiased account of life in Russia in 1906, with the brewing up of the 1917 revolution. Had the Tsar been a humane ruler, listening to the poor, keeping a check on his police, army and violent Cossacks, Russia’s history may have been a bit different. I am not surprised the Romanovs were murdered! I found the story very upsetting at times, and wondered if I wanted to hear any more. Thank you Kellog Durland for getting this written. Thank you readers for a well read story.
