Here is the real danger, but only in case Colonel Kobylinsky and his Detachment of Special Destination would consent to join the Soviets. They all hesitate, not the Colonel, however. We all were sitting in the recreation room, about sixty or seventy of us in all. Khokhriakov presided. His neck is like a bull's, but rougher and red.
After which consent a commission under the chairmanship of Kaganitzky was appointed to elaborate particulars. The Detachment of Special Destination was thus dissolved and Comrade Kobylinsky was allowed to proceed to Petrograd. With a headache from the noise and smoke I left the court-room and went out in the City Square to breathe a little fresh air. Children were playing with sand and toys.
All that they have done is certainly known to Kobylinsky and to the Commissaries. And if they are not yet all arrested it is because the sovietists want to know their actions. If the damned lack of organization, that we all are suffering from, can be noticed in our present life it is ideally clearly seen in the Ekaterinburg circles.
Kobylinsky and the sentinels and the Bolsheviki." All right. Supposing there were someone among them who would go and try this buying proposition? Supposing they were to buy Kobylinsky, and the sentinels and the Bolsheviki. What will they do with the Emperor? Against them there would be the whole world.
The noise stopped under this voice, the windows were thrown open, and our Peoples' Commissary began: "Comrades, before us are three questions; 1st whether to release the prisoners and give them to the Tobolsk people under the auspices of Comrade Kobylinsky and his men, or 2d whether to try the prisoners right here by the people's tribunal, or 3d to comply with some other requests which I have the authority to propose to send the prisoners to a Ural city.
M. wrote that under the charming manners of the Tsar and especially the Heir, before the Soviet rule came, the soldiers very often changed their manners, their revolutionary hearts were melting and then Col. Kobylinsky used to send those "soft rags" back to Petrograd, for they might be counter-revolutionary. The Emperor has never said anything to or about Kobylinsky directly, however.
On the last two were the accompanying persons and the "Detachment of Special Destination," with Col. Kobylinsky in command, and Mr. Makarov supervising the voyage.... For three days the "Russ" was lying near the pier, for the Governor's Mansion was not yet ready for occupancy. So nobody was allowed to go ashore.
The smile on his face stretched from ear to ear. "But," he continued, "again the popes intervened. I hope they'll croak soon. And Kobylinsky consented. He is with us, of course, but we must get rid of him." It's great! All these people had enough of our blood. Now the people rule themselves! Great life!" "You bet! Stay with us longer and you'll see better things...."
"Now, comrades, comes the next proposition, to send the prisoners away, to the Ural city, probably Ekaterinburg. Comrade Kaganitzky is here. The comrades of the detachment and Comrade Kobylinsky agreed. How do you like this? Say, who is against it? Come out!" Free people in a free country consented.
Once only, when Kobylinsky was changing sentinels he bumped into the Emperor, and the latter said' "Still a Colonel?" That was really a sarcastic remark! Of course, now with the Bolshevik! everything has changed and the Family's position is very bad. I am well, send me some very thick socks if you happen to have an opportunity. Greetings. Attached a map of Tobolsk. Yours, Al. Syv."
