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."
First because the organization is in Ekaterinburg and the Emperor in Tobolsk. Who are these people? They want first of all, and altogether, restitution for the sake of getting good positions for valuable services rendered the Family. They all see that the restitution is problematic, so their desire is not strong. They act weakly, they think lazily, they move with an agony of indifference.
We tried to warn him of this pope, but I don't think it worked, for they know that Vassiliev received some very important documents from the Emperor, and also his revolver and sword for safekeeping. At present there is an organization in Tobolsk helping the family with money and food; the Ordovsky-Tanaevskys, the Prince Khovansky's family and the Budischevs.
The Government supplies some of the exiles with food, very poor and very scanty; those whom it abandons subsist on what they obtain by hunting. The greater number of these hapless beings reside in the villages which border the river from Tobolsk to the boundaries of Tschimska; others are dispersed in huts through the plains. For these unfortunates not a single happy day exists.
'Don't ask questions here, he said, 'those fellows handing round the meat may be government spies. I don't see, if they were, what interest they could have in the question why Alexis Stumpoff should go to Tobolsk. "However, I suppose they make a point of never touching on private affairs where any one can hear them, however innocent the matter may be.
I might be sent from one government prison to another, from Tobolsk to the eastern sea; therefore every place possessed an interest for me.
The long beards are the power of Russia, and the blood of your soldiers will be a seed of heroes. If unfortunate circumstances should force you to retreat before the invader, the Russian emperor will always be terrible in Moscow, formidable in Kazan, invincible at Tobolsk." This letter was dated June 11/23, 1812.
Petersburg?" said Feofar-Khan, designating the Emperor of Russia by this strange title. "You have nothing to fear from them," replied Ivan Ogareff. "The invasion has been sudden; and before the Russian army can succor them, Irkutsk or Tobolsk will have fallen into your power. The Czar's troops have been overwhelmed at Kolyvan, as they will be everywhere where yours meet them."
Another of the sons of Tuli, Shaibani-khan, led a horde of 15,000 Tartar families into the wilds of Siberia; and his descendants reigned above three centuries at Tobolsk, in that secluded region, and even reduced the miserable Samoyedes in the neighbourhood of the polar circle. Such was the establishment and extent of the first Tartar or Mogul empire.
Years afterward a suitable monument was erected to Yermak in the city of Tobolsk, which was built on the battle-field where he gained his first decisive victory over the Tartar ruler. His real monument is all Siberia, whose conquest he inaugurated. In 1847 the Amur River section was annexed by Russia regardless of the protests of the Chinese Government.
