Question

What did czar Nicholas write in his journal they day they took away his Czarship?

Answer 1

Answer:

Nicholas II was forced to abdicate on the 15th of March 1917 after riots spread across the main Russian cities after which the they were taken over by worker's unions or Soviets.

On the day he abdicated, Nicholas wrote in his journal of a meeting he had with General N. V. Ruzski of the Northern Army while he was in Pskov where he was informed that he was to abdicate in order to avoid a further revolution amongst the Russian soldiers fighting the Germans on the Eastern front.

He assented to this and after meetings with Alexander Guchkov and Vasily Shulgin, he left Pskov full of sorrow because of the perceived treason, deception and cowardice that went on around him.
