Fair enough, of course you could correct that by simply having her sign a piece of paper while threatening for one of the daughters to have a tragic accident by the stairs but that wouldn’t buy you too much advantage besides the initial confusion.
Well, we know that isn't happening in canon so... Not really sure what the point of this post is, except to prove that you seem to like encouraging vicious punishment of innocent women and children.
I have more pity for the Russians masses who starved to death for generations to feed these parasites (the Romanovs + the nobility).
As do I. It's always those on the bottom who suffer most....
The Russian nobles were basically slave owners in all but name until just a couple of decades before WW1.
Are you familiar with Amartya Sen's work on famines? At least over the past couple of centuries, peacetime famines basically never have involved there actually not being enough food (or resources with which to buy food) to keep people alive, and so they basically don't happen in democratic countries (where governments would face voter backlash). They only happen in undemocratic societies, when the people starving aren't part of the power base the government relies on to maintain control. So, yes, the nobility is mostly responsible for people starving.
Slavery/Serfdom had long been abolished since the mid 19th century. Nobility lording over peasants is entirely different from owning slaves like cattle.
This is roughly fifty years before WW1, not so long ago.
It's better to be a peasant in Russian than an outright slave in a Dixie plantation, but this doesn't change the fact that living as a peasant in Russia exposed you to very precarious conditions and abuses at the hand of the nobility, that could somehow be compared to some forms of slavery.
I mean (I could be wrong) but didn't some Chinese divisons OTL in WW2 only have swords and old rifles? Lets go Republican Russian divisons with ancient bolt actions and swords
I'm very familiar with the fact that food distribution is the bigger problem in peacetime - though again, it's infinitely more complicated than that because there's also this thing called weather among other factors- but even the man-made blame is much, much more complicated than just 'the nobility are deliberately starving the peasants' or even 'the nobles are eating all the food'. There's a lot of people in the food and food production supply chain, and the Tsars tried repeatedly to modernize Russia's food productive to solve these sorts of problem.

I'm not a KR man so I can't vouch for or against that... but in Supremacy 1914 and Axis and Allies (my strategy games of choice) infantry alone are good for a, being massacred to protect useful stuff like artillery and tanks (especially where fortifications are concerned) or b, being massacred and ensuring that the infantry-alone attack fails miserably.
Yeah, pre-Communist Chinese armies were kind of a mess (and even then, the 1979 invasion of Vietnam proves they weren't great then). Part of the reason their morale was so Godawful.I mean (I could be wrong) but didn't some Chinese divisons OTL in WW2 only have swords and old rifles?

Infantry only not working in A&A? You obviously just didn't try hard enough!
