The diaries of Nicholas II have been fully preserved from the moment when, at the age of 14 in 1882, he first began to keep diary entries, and until June 30 (July 13 to the present p.) 1918 The first notebooks for the heir were made by special order. All religious holidays, days of namesake of the royal family are typographically introduced into them. The sheets are dated by day, but their size does not allow for extensive entries, which to a certain extent left its mark on the diary style. He is characterized by laconicism, the absence of lengthy reasoning. Later, records were already kept in notebooks such as general, educational.
