Indeed, on the following day Miliukoff rose in the Duma and made a second and more powerful attack upon the camarilla, singling out Protopopoff as one of the worst offenders.
Well they knew that if Miliukoff, armed with those incriminating documents the exact nature of which they knew not spoke the truth in the Legislature, then a storm of indignation would sweep over them in such a manner that they could never withstand it. Rasputin, thus summoned, went at once to the palace, and I accompanied him.
She posed as a domestic servant in the Princess Tchekmareff affair, and was successful. Why not utilise her again? "Inform Her Majesty that Stürmer must come back to power very shortly. But this is impossible while Miliukoff and Purishkevitch have the ear of the people. Not a second should be lost in suppressing them.
M. Michael Rodzianko, the President, gravely took his seat on the stroke of two, and the House was crowded. The diplomatic boxes were filled to overflowing, the British, French, Italian and United States Ambassadors, together with the Ministers of most of the neutral countries, being present. The usual prayer was offered, but neither M. Miliukoff nor M. Purishkevitch was in his place!
Late last night I received an urgent visit from the Under-director of Secret Police of Moscow, who had come post-haste to tell me that there has been a secret meeting between Miliukoff and the Grand Dukes Serge and Dmitri in that city, and it has been decided that at the reopening of the Duma Miliukoff will rise and publicly expose us." "What?" shrieked the monk, starting.
Rasputin remained silent, his hand stroking his ragged beard, a habit of his when working out some scheme more devilish than others. "Miliukoff will be supported by Purishkevitch, without a doubt," His Excellency the Minister went on. "Both are equally dangerous." The "saint" grunted and knit his brows, for he saw himself in a very perilous position.
In three days' time the Duma would re-open, and Miliukoff would probably bring forth certain documentary evidence of the treachery of Stürmer, Fredericks, Soukhomlinoff, Anna Vyrubova, and a dozen others who formed the camarilla which was working for Russia's downfall. "The Duma must be prevented from opening," Rasputin declared at last.
"The price will be all right," replied the provocating agent, with a business-like air. "Then we entrust the affair to you, Ivan," said His Excellency. "You will receive for yourself ten thousand roubles if Miliukoff dies." And the man went forth to find the woman, who, for money, would not hesitate to commit murder. That night proved a sleepless one for us all.
While he lives he will always be a constant menace. He must die! He shall die!" Already the foundation stone of the revolution had been laid, and M. Miliukoff, with purely patriotic motives, had assisted in cementing it.
But it is against God's holy law that human tongues should utter lies against me," he said, cleverly impressing upon her the fact that if Miliukoff were suppressed it would be no crime, but an act of duty. "To me, in my own house, he has declared his intention of denouncing you and also our dear Anna and the Empress." The monk was silent.
