Thirdly, the Emperor William on April 2nd gave audience in secret at the Berlin Schloss to M. Protopopoff, for which no reason can be assigned. Fourthly, I have learned on the best authority that if Herr Hardt were arrested on any of his journeys to Sweden or Germany, some highly interesting private correspondence would be found upon him.
I thought of the Cossacks yesterday who had assured the people that they would not fire well, that impulse had passed. Protopopoff and his men had triumphed. We were all now in the shallows on the other bank of the canal. The prostitute, who was still at our side, hesitated for a moment, as though she were going to speak. I think she wanted to ask whether she might walk with us a little way.
Rasputin shook his head dubiously, declaring that there was no time to arrange a second attempt. "Have you put it to Protopopoff?" she asked. "He might suggest some means, now that the woman Kalatcheff has failed us. If not he will speak and we are lost! Think, Father, what it all means!
On March 1, 1917, the only two leaders of the labor organizations which supported the Duma issued an appeal exhorting the workers to return to work. And this appeal in favor of order and law was censored by the Government. Further proof of the treachery of Protopopoff were not needed; this was the most convincing which had yet appeared.
"Our friend Protopopoff has returned from England and tells me that Lloyd George and his friends are exerting every effort to win the war. Those British are brave, but, oh! if they knew all that we know eh? They are in ignorance, and will remain so until Germany conquers Russia and spreads the blessing of civilisation among the people. "Nikki is returning. A séance is to be held on Saturday.
One morning, a week later, I went with Rasputin to the Ministry of the Interior, where we were ushered into the small, elegant private room of "Satan-in-a-silk-hat" Protopopoff, who greeted us cordially. But as soon as the door was closed, and he had invited us to be seated, he rose, turned the key, and, facing us, gravely said: "Gregory, I fear something serious is about to happen.
The conservative press of England and America exaggerated to absurdity the program and aims of the radical forces in Russia, while the Socialist press of these same countries was equally unreliable in its partisanship, and would have had its readers believe Prince Lvov and Milukov hardly any improvement on Protopopoff, a view in which it would not have been supported by the most radical Russians.
You will point out that to the Minister Protopopoff. When the plague breaks out the censorship must be of the strictest." Rasputin nodded. He quite understood. He hated the British just as heartily as did the Tsaritza. A week later we were back at Tsarskoe-Selo, and the monk who pretended to have been on a pilgrimage to Our Lady of Tver made to the Empress a full report of his journey to Potsdam.
He performed miracles of strategy, and Berlin had very naturally become genuinely alarmed. All their negotiations with Stürmer, Protopopoff, Rasputin and others of the "Black Force" had apparently been of no avail. They had staked millions of roubles, but without much result.
Protopopoff had told us over the telephone that Stefanovitch had seen the woman Grozdoff, and that all was arranged.
