VISUALIZE: The part where Nicholas was ordering his soldiers to kill and make people beg for mercy felt real. On page 79, the text says, "In cities all across Russia, police arrested anyone suspected of crimes against the tsar... police routinely rounded up workers' children and beat them up... these soldiers killed citizens at random... left people wounded, homeless, and starving." This lays out the scene for me.
