Rasputin of the East

17

With a bubbling sound, my body sinks to the bottom of the water.

Skinny, rough hands grab my head and gently press it under the surface of the water.

It’s an old man’s weak hand enough to push it away, but I’m calmly in the water.

How many seconds would you hold your breath? The hand is removed and it pulls me out of the water.

As soon as you get out of the water, the first thing you hear is singing. As the choir sings, I step out of the large bathtub.

Unlike many denominations of Catholic and Protestant denominations, which replace water with dripping or sprinkling, the Orthodox Church celebrates baptism by baptism.

Thanks to this, after submerging in the water in the middle of the cathedral, the Archbishop approached as soon as he came out of the water.

The Archbishop, who was carrying oil, looked at me.

“It is the seal of the Holy Spirit given by the Holy Spirit.”

Having said that, the Archbishop began to anoint all parts of his body, starting with his head.

I kept my mouth shut and received the sacrament quietly.

In the Catholic Church, the sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation are separated, but in the Orthodox Church, the two are combined.

In fact, the two were originally united, although the Western Church separated them for various reasons.

Yeah, it doesn’t matter what you get. And the anointing of oil and the reading of the Bible followed by hymns and marches were not particularly difficult.

But the thing I’m most dissatisfied with is…

“f*ck!”

“……Please don’t laugh.”

Immediately after Confirmation and Holy Communion were completed, Anastasia laughed, and Olga quietly stepped on Anastasia’s feet and noticed.

shaving case. In the Orthodox Church, as soon as the reading of the Bible is completed during the sacrament of Confirmation. Religiously, it is said that the recipient of the sacrament has the will to completely surrender himself as the first gift to God…

Thanks to you, I got my hair cut suddenly.

It’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Most of the people here shaved their heads when they were very young, so virtually no hair is shaved like mine.

However, as long as there is no hair loss, the root of the hair is fine…. It just takes time.

“It grows quickly, and if you are a believer, you do it at least once.

It didn’t even just cut it, but it was cut in the shape of a cross, so the shape looked weird.

“Can I wear a hat for a while?”

“I will allow it.”

Of all the privileges that Caesar received from the senate at the end of the Roman Republic, it is easy to see why he would have been most pleased with the privilege of wearing a laurel wreath.

“thank you. your majesty.”

However, my sincerity was that I honestly wanted to refrain from public activities until my hair had grown properly.

Tsar’s Hound, Tsar’s Fighting Dog, Tsar’s Shepherd. Well, it’s a similar variation.

There are people who are referred to by nicknames with these various variations.

My existence, called the Second Gannibal, was quite a topic of discussion in European social circles, but it became famous with revolutionaries the other way around.

A hound that works with Ohrana to break up dissident forces.

The head of the GRU, which has now become the second largest intelligence organization along with Ohrana, both in name and reality.

When Hunter, Killer, and Ohrana find a dissident organization, we have disbanded the organization by various means, from the introduction of Frakchi to the deployment of a mobile strike force.

As an added bonus, it is our responsibility to ‘edify’ the arrested impurity in various ways.

Of course, Ohrana is not the only one who collects information, but we also have our own secrets, and Frakchi not only us but also Ohrana.

Thanks to this, my ability to defeat impurity was recognized as the best, and the nobles now seemed to have upgraded my existence to a level that they did not like very much, but were very disappointed without it.

Compared to the past, it was a major development.

‘But I have completely lost sight of the revolutionaries.’

Well, it was a self-evident result in the first place. As long as the tsar has become my godfather, I have become a being that I can never associate with a revolutionary.

What then? If the option to reach out is gone, the only option is to hit it.

After several successful assassination attempts by the Interior Forces, the tsar was now almost credible if what I said was outrageous.

Even if it wasn’t normal, permission would be issued immediately if I brought the proper grounds and necessity.

Thanks to this, the number of visitors to my house has increased considerably.

‘But there are clear limits to this.’

As I read the report, I thought to myself.

When it comes out, catch it. It mobilizes old comrades and fracks who have been ‘edified’ to destroy it from the inside out. There is no limit to the method of collecting information, capturing all the key executives and taking them to Rubyka – in this era, the infamous KGB does not have its headquarters, but it is named Rubyka, and as the GRU was expanded and reorganized, we also had a government building there. there had to be

The fall of communism is due to the catastrophic failure of the communist countries and the compromise of the capitalist countries to prevent the revolution.

A compromise in the name of welfare.

In fact, it is undeniable that the welfare of the poor in the Soviet Union at the same time was much better than that of the United States. What if the concept of public welfare had not arisen if communism had not become a real threat?

‘It’s never going to happen.’

The only surviving capitalists had succeeded in blocking the hoe with a hoe before blocking it with phlegm.

The problem is that the Tsar will never compromise.

The tsar lost his grandfather to the communists. Ironically, the former tsars were the ones who wanted to give the people the right to vote and allow more freedom.

In fact, Crown Prince Ferdinand was also a moderate group trying to give up the vested interests of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and create the United States of Austria to guarantee the autonomy of each people as much as possible, but that’s why they were targeted.

Because if the masses go home satisfied with the concessions of the vested interests, they will not be able to achieve the radical things they desire.

Furthermore, because they cannot seize power.

That is why I tend to hate the establishment and the so-called revolutionaries equally.

If they are those who fight with a pure heart to achieve real progress, shouldn’t those who are assassinated be hard-liners?

However, by targeting the moderates, they tried to create a composition in which they collided with the great rivers, eliminating any room for reconciliation.

That is why I cannot believe that so-called revolutionaries came forward with a pure heart.

In fact, after the formation of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union was clearly stronger than the Russian Empire and quickly emerged as one of the two leading axes of the world.

But how much has changed in people’s lives?

For ordinary people, the meaning of the Russian Revolution and the establishment of the Soviet Union is just that the tsar of the Russian Empire has been replaced by the general secretary of the Soviet Union. There was only one.

No matter how much the idealists talk about how to lead this country, what reaches the public is only how much better their livelihoods have become.

‘What’s worse is that the nobles or the revolutionaries are exactly the same people in terms of having the idea of a chosen people.’

Of course, if the Communists knew what I was thinking, they’d be chasing at me, but I seriously thought so.

They never regard the people as equal to themselves. They see themselves as foolish, weak, foolish, and exploited beings who need to be taught, edified, and taught.

‘They never understand that the people are not as stupid as they think they are, no, they do not understand even if they do, they have to consider the people to be stupid, so they can understand this rotten system up until now, what they have defined as absolute evil. They have a cause to overthrow the system and start the revolution they dreamed of.’

While the Russian aristocrats believe in absolute truth that they are superior to the common people, revolutionaries, Bolsheviks and Mensheviks, are much wiser than their humble masses, so they can lead the country, and the masses can just keep their mouths shut and follow them. The idea that it will become an absolute truth will be laid down.

For them, it is not a thesis, but a proposition, an absolute, unquestionable truth. Propositions cannot be the subject of objection.

‘There was no big difference in the 21st century, when they said that they would devote themselves to serving this country, and they covert the public. It’s not unreasonable to be mistaken when you see the masses moving, but there are too many people who don’t understand the fact that when a certain threshold is crossed, the masses become a tsunami and wipe out everything.’

That was the French Revolution, and so was the Russian Revolution.

No, the vast majority of so-called revolutions, too many to give detailed examples, have been conducted that way.

In the end, for me, the garbage establishment and the revolutionaries who wanted to overthrow the establishment were essentially twins who refused to acknowledge each other.

Of course, there are exceptions everywhere in the world. There may be aristocrats who humbly accept that they are nobles but are not superior to others, or there may be enough revolutionaries who are genuinely ignorant of ideals, but who do not turn into selfishness and listen to the opinions of others.

But they are literally an endangered species, and unfortunately, they are the first target for both, often becoming the first drop of blood.

So, I felt no guilt in killing the so-called revolutionary races, and I knew it was desirable not to even try to negotiate with them, even for my own sake.

However, it was felt with certainty that the predestined doom was approaching minute by minute.
