Tsar Nicholas II In a few months, these will be turnips. Grand Duchess Anastasia They are carrots. Tsarevitch Alexei And when they grow, will we still be around to eat them? Tsarevitch Alexei Why did you abdicate for me? You never asked! Tsar Nicholas II I did not want you to have to pay for my mistakes. Tsarevitch Alexei Am I not paying for them now? Are not we all? Lenin The Provisional Government has fallen! We now have power! At long last, we will build our new world order.
