We, Nicholas H.. by the grace OF
God emperor of all the Russias, car
of Poland and grand duke OF Finland
etc, make known to all our faithful
subjects: In the day of the great
struggle against a foreign foe who
has been striving for three years to
enslaye our country, God has wished
to send to Russia a new and painful
trial.
Interior troubles threaten to have
a fatal repereussion Oh the final out
come OF the war. The destinies OF
Russia and the honor of our dear faith.
erland require that the war be prose
cuted at all cost to a victorious end
The cruel enemy is making his last
effort and the moment is near when
our valiant army, in concert with those
of our glorious allies, will definitely
chastise the foe.
In these decisive days in the life
of Russia, we believe u people
should have the closest union and or
g~anization of all their forces for the
realization OF speedy victory.
For this reason. in accord with the
duma Of the empire. we have consid
cred il desirable to abdicate the
throne of Russia and lay aside our
supreme power.
Not wishing to be separated from
our brother. the Grand Duke Michael
Alexandrovitch, blessing his advent to
the throne of Russia. We hand over
the government to our brother in full
union with the representatives of the
nation who are seated in the legisla-
tive chambers, making this step with
an inviolaDle oath in the name of our
well beloved country"
