Nah now it's time for crazy schemes.
He tried that - and look where we are
Actually whilst I'm here:
From the Russian Provisional Government
To the rebels
You call yourselves 'Monarchists' do you? What foolish assumptions, the Provisional government has representives from every facet of Russian society and the Empire, and we and the progressive movement are certainly not
fundamentally ideologically opposed to the Tsars! Indeed if our discussion with the Russian peoples and those of the Empire, take us in the direction of constitutional monarchy then that is what we shall enact. You are
Reactionaries, hidebound and terrified by the future and the power of the people, all the peoples of the Empire. You cling to your privelages and oppressive tradition so much that you reject the democratically elected representatives of the people, not realising that together we could build a Russia more prosperious, strong and just than even before, a Russia for all its people - including yourselves!
Surrender now in mass or as individuals, and your lives and estates will be preserved - we will always be generious to those who wish to repent and live alongside their fellow sons of the motherland. Those who take up arms against the provisional government on the other hand are nothing but criminals, and will be treated as such...
From the Russian Provisional Government
To the World, and our neighbours
The prior regime has enacted many injustices both and home and abroad, and disputes over territory and ethnicity are rife. Once the interregium whilst the criminal elements are brought under control has passed, we would be happy to negogiate with all and sundry for fair resolution to these disputes. But if any should attack Russia or the peoples under her wing during this moment of distraction, or give succor or aide to the traitors within, know that you will earn nothing but the relentless emnity of the Russian people and the bitter ashes of an unforgiving recompense.
From the Russian Provisional Government
To the Triple Alliance
The Alliance has grown and changed far beyond what the Russian peoples agreed to, and has plunged the world into a quite senseless war that Russia can ill afford. Thus we announce our status of neutrality for the time being and non-belligerence in Mr Coolidge's War. We look forward to happy bilateral relations with all of you in the future, and will consider requesting entry to your 'Global Alliance' when the health and sanity of that organisation becomes clear.
