Failures
My only failure, besides possibly my marriage, is not having a
competent successor to the throne. While that is hardly a failure on
my part, I suppose I could be blamed for not raising Paul well
enough.

Others may argue I also failed by not improving the lives of the
Russian serfs, but the nobility always comes first.
