   I feel that the Vladimiroviches, and their mother, while remaining inherently foreign and germanophilic, do not only harm to our army at the front, but constantly intrigue against the Sovereign (which they try to disguise with high-flown talk about the good of Russia). They have never given up their hope that the throne of Russia would one day revert to their line.
