To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Paul heard his reasons, and squeezed his hand violently. " You were right/ 3 he said; "I wish I had first spoken to the Grand Duke Alexander. Let the officer have his liberty, but do not let this at least be known in St. Petersburg " One of Paul's first acts was to introduce more attention to religion in his empire, and here he had to begin with his own family, who were all educated in the lax opinions then preva- lent. He ordered Wednesdays, Fridays, and other fasts, which he always kept rigor...ously himself, to be observed ; work was prohibited on the Sabbath (Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning), every member of the government and every foreigner in Russia was to confess and receive the Holy Communion at least once a year according to his own rite, or incur dismissal from his office or from Russia, while the priests were advised to admit none to the service who were not in a suitable frame of mind. The old custom of uncovering the head before the picture of the Virgin in Moscow was revived, and sentinels placed to see that it was done.
