Note 5 — Chapter IV · RAZPUTIN THE PEASANT
G. G. (Georgii Gustavovich) Tel'berg translation
Ludendorff. “War Memories,” Vol. II., page 413:
“...The Tsar was overthrown by the Revolution, which was favoured by the Entente. The Entente’s reasons for backing the Revolution are not clear. At all events, it is certain that the Entente expected the Revolution to bring them some advantage in the war. They wished at least to save anything that could be saved and, consequently, did not hesitate to act. The Tsar, who had begun the war in order to please the Entente, had to be removed.”
