les and his policies was that Nicholas
was Of benevolent disposition but
weak in will, easily swayed by the
reactionary forces of the Russian bu-
reaucracy by which he was surround
ed and which hampered and hindered

capable of nerving himself to strong
determinations and firm action such,
for example. as his initiation of the
movement to disarmament.

suit that the infant was distracted

garded as q faithful portrayal of the
