Tsar Nicholas I in the Saint Petersburg Imperial Village could never have imagined that the grain he ordered to be stored in the warehouses of Odessa would become an accomplice in the killing of Russian Empire soldiers.
And the officials in Odessa, whom he painstakingly promoted, would have the audacity to sell the country's grain cheaply to the enemy during wartime. It was unthinkable, a capital offense, and there wasn't a single official, from top to bottom in the capital of Odessa, willing to report it.
This was enough to prove that the entire capital of Odessa... No, it should be said that the entire Russian Empire had rotted to the core.
However, Tsar Nicholas I in the Saint Petersburg Imperial Village was not yet aware of any of this.
