Nicholas and Alexandra1971

[Members of the Duma are applauding and patting each other on the back to celebrate Rasputin's death]

Duma Member #1:
The beast is dead!

Duma Member #2:
His killers are heroes!

Duma Member #3:
Russia is saved!

[The only members not hooting are Alexander Kerensky and another unnamed member, both of whom roll their eyes and give the impression of "don't party just yet". The ribaldry dies down and the Duma returns to talking shop. Kerensky has the floor]

Alexander Kerensky:
One madman has been eliminated and you guys are dancing in the aisles! The German Tsaritsa is still running the country. The Central Powers have been winning victory after victory. The Army is in disarray. One-third of our soldiers go without food, medicine or boots. Entire battalions are defecting! Agricultural production has been sapped and civilians lack meals. The Tsar needs to stop hiding with his troops at the front lines and get back to Saint Petersburg where he belongs. Chaos is coming to Russia, and he needs to be here to deal with it!
