Chapter+Thirty-Citizen+Romanov

Summary The royal family was imprisoned at Tsarskoe Selo by revolutionaries. It was believed that Nicholas was plotting against the revolutionaries with the Germans. The Provisional Goverment made Kerensky the new warden of the family. Kerensky looked into whether or not Alexandra and Nicholas were pursuing treasonable activities, and found nothing. He thought the family agreeable. Kobylinsky became the new officer in command and worked ot protect the family from the soldiers who guarded them.

Analysis I did learn from this chapter, but found myself wanting more information. Rather than understanding the emotions of the characters I wanted to know what actually happened. I found the chapter to be convoluted and slow to read. If this was fictional I would be less frustrated by it, but because I am looking from a historical perspective I wanted to know more about the topic.

Conclusion I would recommend this to someone seeking an almost pop-culture version of a historical standpoint. Yes, I did learn from it, but not enough for me to consider it a worthwhile source.
