Opposition to the Grand Duke developed
from the fact that he is a blood relative OF
the deposed Car. The propaganda against
the Romanoff family has become so strong
that the I.yoff Ministry in Russia has found
II necessary to bend, in some instances,
to its Will.
This same propaganda has led Grand
Duke Michael Alexandrovitch to waive ms
rights to the sovereign power until atter
the election of a national assembly. Notin-
cation of the Grand Dukes waiver was
made known following a conference between
him and Prince Lvoff and the provisional
Ministry.
Not until the hour of his downfall was
at hand did Nicholas. former Emperor or
