The train of prisoners stopped in front of her father's tavern, of all places. Sonja then decides to go to Moscow and lead the revolution to introduce more human rights in Russia. Both the tsar and his opponents fight with all means. Indeed, the revolutionaries manage to assassinate the tsar, after which his son Alexis becomes the new tsar. He promised the required reforms and released all political prisoners, also because he fell in love with Sonja.
