ARSON!
Communists Apprehended After Brazen Assault and Shootout!
In what will surely go down as a tragic day in Russian history, a small group of radical leftists assaulted the Winter Palace with machine guns and grenades, setting fire to the ancient structure. Several extremists perished in the flames, but four were apprehended after a brazen shootout with the militia of the local garrison first on the scene. Queen Anastasia was thankfully in the capital in an official capacity, and her family vacationing in an undisclosed location.
The attack on the Winter Palace has raised questions regarding the security of our Queen, who many are afraid could be in danger. The Security Bureau of Russia put forward an official comment urging the public to remain calm and vigilant, and that the lapses in security will be dealt with.
The Queen's security detail, traditionally the local police force, has been replaced with agents of the SBR while the SRB investigates the matter. Already, a long string of arrests are being made as communist and communist sympathizers in government are rounded up to be put on trial for conspiracy, murder, treason, arson, and sodomy.
