This book is devoted to clarifying the question of how the Romanovs and the social groups that supported them treated the impending turn of world politics - the separate world of Russia with Germany during the First World War. The book consists of a number of essays related by internal unity. The facts found in each of these essays, in the end, lead to the conclusion that the social groups in power on the eve of the fall of the monarchy, led by the Romanovs, really deliberately gravitated towards a breakaway from the "allies" and towards a separate world - the author considers this as the leading line of the Rasputin-Romanov policy.
