But a metropolis like Moscow is different; officials higher in rank than the Constitutional Soldiers are everywhere.
Although the Constitutional Soldiers have the Tsar and Count Benkendorf as their backing, supporting them. However, in Moscow and St. Petersburg, many of the officials they have to deal with have their own backing, such as the various ministers of central departments and the Governor of Moscow, Duke Dmitry Golitsyn, who are prominent figures of the second and third ranks.
Although none of these individuals alone can wrestle with the Tsar, if you simultaneously offend three to five of them, the likelihood of the Tsar suddenly 'having a stroke' will spike dramatically.
This statement is not alarmist, because certain personnel serving in key positions in the Russian court were indeed involved in the palace coup that killed the current Tsar Nicholas I's father, Paul I, more than thirty years ago.
