The last diary entry of Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna of Russia. On the right, the entry she expected to write, but never had the chance to. 

Her last entry:

Yekaterinburg 3/16 July

[Niece] Irina’s 23d birthday.

Gray morning, later lovely sunshine. Baby [Alexei] has a slight cold. All went out  1/2-hour in the morning. Olga and I arrange our medicines [code word for jewellery and other valuables being hidden from the guards]. Tatiana read spiritual readings.

They went out. Tatiana stayed with me and we read: The Book of the prophet Amos and prophet Obadiah.

Every morning the commandant comes to our rooms: at last after a week brought eggs again for Baby.

8: Supper.

Suddenly Lenka Sednev [the kitchen boy] was fetched to go and see his uncle and flew off -wonder whether it’s true and we shall see the boy back again! Played bezique [a card game] with Nicky.

10:30 to bed. 15 degrees.

Tsar Nicholas’ II for March 2/15, the day of his abdication at Pskov:

“General Ruzsky came this  morning and read to me a long conversation which he had had on the telephone with Rodzianko, according to which the situation at Petrograd is such that a Cabinet of members of the Duma will be unable to do anything because against it are fighting the Socialist Parties in the shape of workmen’s committees. My abdication is necessary. Ruzsky has transmitted this conversation to General Headquarters, and Alexeiev passed it on to all the Commanders-in-Chiefs. At 12.30 carne answers from all, the sense of which is that, to save Russia and keep the Army at the front quiet, I must make up my mind to this step. I have consented.  From G. H. Q. they have sent a draft of a manifesto. In the evening arrived from Petrograd Guchkov and Shulgin, with whom I had a long talk, and handed them the signed manifesto as agreed  (i.f. f renouncing the Tsarevich’s rights as well- the Tsar’s own decision). At one o’clock in the morning left Pskov with a heavy feeling, due to all I have lived through. Am surrounded by treachery, cowardice, and deceit.”
