Excerpt:
"And when the mass consciousness according the documents that you see or those sources nonetheless seems to get used to the idea of the need for a revolution or some very serious change, to remove this tsar and put another at least?
V. Aksenov: I think that the autumn of 1916 is the period when everyone has maked up mind to the idea of revolution, I can read an excerpt from Tikhomirov's diary, he is a conservative figure, on December 5, 1916 he writes, I quote: " The most reckless riotous instincts are brewing in people minds and it threaten the rivers of blood. We are in the position of a fishing boat run into Malstrom's whirlpool: a slow descent into the throat of a terrible funnel that must absorb us. It is interesting to know whether this position is seen by the sovereign and what he hopes for. Or he just passively goes to the fateful outcome? It seems that a nationwide psychosis can be solved only in bloody madness. But it’s all in God's hands. "
- Nikolay also liked to say that everything is in God's handsl.
V. Aksenov: Yes.
- Well, this is an interesting indeed such a state, on the one hand, this monarchist Tikhomirov, a former member of Narodnaya volya movement , believes in the possibility of collapse, and on the other hand, Nicholay himself actually treated possible events, well, let's say, fatalistically .
V. Aksyonov: Yes, Nicholay the second was originally complicated person in general, contradictory figure in our history, He was a very weak politician, in my opinion, and the reforms that he conducted were largely influenced by external factors. The first revolution, for example. He was a weak politician, and, as a matter of fact, understanding this, he very often let things go by themselves.

MARCH 17TH: THE JOYFUL AND SUPPORTIVE TRIP TO KOLCHUGINO
The trip to Kolchugino is always colored by a mixture of different feelings, but, first of all, by the joy of meeting children left without parental care, who are already not indifferent to us. On March 16th we visited again the Kolchuginsky orphanage to give to the children with cerebral palsy the special equipment "Petushok" that supports walking, as well as office supplies and toys required for classes, which are always necessary and quickly consumed, since there are about 250 inmates in the institution. The director of the institution Natalia Valentinovna Melnikova and the deputy director Natalya Fedorovna, as always, were very friendly, they showed how the children and adults are living there. It was very pleasant to see that the children recognize us and rejoice at this meeting. In fact, it is very important for them to understand that there are adults outside the institution who are worried about them and are interested in them. It is called the formation of a sense of attachment for orphans, which is a real problem in the conditions of orphanage's system, because, despite the current positive changes, this system is still closed.
We will be glad to see the inmates of the care home and its hospitable employees next time!
