General Kurlov, a former chief of police belonging to the Rasputin camarilla, denies, of course, in his reminiscences any German connection or sympathies on the part of his protector, but immediately adds: “We cannot blame Stürmer for his opinion that the war with Germany was the greatest possible misfortune for Russia and that it had no serious political justification.”
El general Kurlov, jefe de la policía y miembro de la camarilla de Rasputin, niega, en sus Memorias, naturalmente, las simpatías alemanas de sus protectores; pero, a renglón seguido, añade: «No hay razón para acusar a Sturmer porque sostuviese que la guerra con Alemania era la mayor desgracia que podía ocurrirle a Rusia y carecía de toda base política seria.»
