What a day it was. First violent anti-Fascist protests in St. Petersburg, then this insultign letter from British monarch, and now it seems Duma is on side of war against Axis.
"Kerensky! Write this down please:
On Case of Anti-Fascist Protests in St. Petersburg:
Tell the people that if the Duma, which was elected by the same people, who are protesting, decides that we shalt go to war aagaisnt Fascists, they can always volunteer. But why should they force the unprepared country into the war? The preparations are udner way, and army will welcome you if you want to fight the fascists."
"What about that English insult?"
"I think Mr. His Majesty Royal Person And Every Ruler Is A Monarch forgot that it's 20th Century, and not 18th Century, and that calling someone a Tzar is an insult to people whose grandparents died heroically fighting Czarists in Civil War. So we will agree to trade, but will edit this letter and show it to peopel in a nicer way, so the anti-fascists won't got anti-British - I mean, why fight with your allies?"
"You are learning, Keresnky, and Idon't know how did you ever passed that exam on Politics with me as a proffesor and you as the worst pupil in the whose VUZ."
"Okay, let's get back to business, Proffesor."
"Agreed."

After that long day, Sergei has made a decision - after all, he didn't fought for nothing in WI. He didn't lost his best Friend eladign Russian Expeditionary Corps in Kuwait, so now Greeks will rebuild their empire! And if Duma decides to go towar, and the peopel want war, he will have to accept. He was not a militarist or warmonger, but he knew that it all looked grim for allies in Hungary and Middle East... Well, he decided, he will wait for Doma's decision and the results from Narodniy Opros - and both were agaisnt Fascists so far....
