DBWI: Clashes along Franco-Polish Border

Well, I'm just glad to be here in Nivhny Petersburg*. Thank goodness Czar Pavel VI isn't crazy enough to get involved in this conflict. We Russians have some sense, unlike those miserable British and Spanish next door... Elizabeth III is about as sane as a Cossack on hashish....

And as mentioned Elizabeth III doesn't control the levers of power in the Empire. Her grandson and the Earl of Ulster are quite capable of keeping her in check. Can the same be said of the Tsar and Chancellor Ignatyev in relation to Sergei Bludov? Bludov's National People's Party are no friends of the Poles and have always campaigned on an expansionist platform and they're particularly strong in the Duma at the moment, strong enough to force a vote of no confidence in the Ignatyev ministry and win it. Of course such a vote could always be overruled by the Senate but it would still weaken the Tsar's authority.
 
Thought I'd give this a bump. It was going quite well last year until it suddenly petered out so hopefully it can be revived.

For the purposes of this thread new posts should be written as if the preceding ones had been written yesterday rather than ten months ago. So the shooting has just started and various countries are mobilising their forces.
