ON THIS DATE IN THEIR OWN WORDS: NICHOLAS II – 6 MAY, 1915

 From the 1915 diary of Nicholas II:

Nicholas II at Stavka circa 1915

 

6th May. Wednesday. Pouring rain during the night, it got cooler and the day remained overcast. Before the morning tea, the suite and the people wished me a happy birthday.  At 10 o’cl. went to [hear] a report, then to obednya. Had breakfast with everyone in the tent behind Nikolasha’s train. Received Engalychev with a report. Took a walk around half the woods. Read and responded to telegrams. After dinner played some dominoes.
