Legitimate power was gone. There is anarchy in the city. There is no other solution. We need to assume power. Rodzianko hesitates. He has already made many revolutionary moves but keeps repeating, “I do not wish to rebel.” Wavered in his conviction by heated arguments, tired, and stressed out, Rodzianko asked to give him “a quarter of an hour” to think it through calmly.

We signed a law that permitted the publication of a first revolutionary newspaper, “The Duma Report Bulletin,” since all the city publications were on strike and the capital did not have accurate news of what was happening. I remember that, while signing it, I could not stop myself from laughing. See more

My own Treasure,
Tender thanks for your dear letter. This will be my last one. How happy I am at the thought of meeting you in two days. I had much to do & therefore my letter is short. See more

By evening we already felt that we were not alone in the palace, and, furthermore, that we were no longer the palace’s masters. The Council of Workers’ Deputies – hastily convened by party organizations that had hitherto refrained from spearheading the revolution – was already assembling at the other end of the building.

At half-past eight this morning, just as I finished dressing, I heard a strange and prolonged din which seemed to come from the Alexander Bridge. I looked out: there was no one on the bridge, which usually presents such a busy scene. But, almost immediately, a disorderly mob carrying red flags appeared at the end which is on the right bank of the Neva, and a regiment came towards it from the opposite side. It looked as if there would be a violent collision, but on the contrary the two bodies coalesced. The army was fraternizing with revolt.See more

The winter afternoon was fast drawing in, and I found the Empress alone in her boudoir. At the sight of the Empress, so tragically alone, so helpless in the midst of the signs and splendour of temporal power, I could hardly restrain my tears. Controlling myself with an effort, I tried to steady my voice: “Permit me to remain with you, Madame," I entreated. See more

When it became evident that the government was no more, it simultaneously became apparent that it wasn’t viable to remain without a government for so much as an hour. And that the State Duma Committee, which was promptly swamped with appeals for directives, would therefore have to don Monomakh’s hat.
Rodzianko was in two minds for a long time. What would this prove to be, he kept asking – an insurrection or not?

An elderly, venerable porter put his head round the door. Utterly shell-shocked, the old man stammered that the revolution had begun: the insurgents were on their way to arrest officers, he said, and they very keen to know the number of my room. I had to hurry. Already in my uniform and boots, I threw over my shoulders an insignia-free winter overcoat, ripped off my spurs and put on a hat worn by civilians and military men alike.

By the end of the day, the whole of Petrograd was in the hands of the insurgent troops. The state machine had ceased to function, while certain ministry offices and government agency buildings had been occupied by the revolutionary forces. Some buildings – the Okhrana headquarters, police stations, courthouses – were set alight. By that time, we had established in the Duma a central body that would exercise control over the actions of the troops and insurgents.See more

At around ten o’clock, reports came from the outskirts of the city that the troops had begun to fire on the crowds.
A company of the Pavlov regiment refused to put down the disturbances, they shot at the mounted police patrol (a policeman and two horses were killed). The battalion commander, Colonel Eksten, was badly wounded in the head.

The palace is deadly quiet. It is unsettling. And most importantly- his Majesty is not here. It is necessary for his Majesty to return immediately from Stavka.
