 RAND | Notes | TSARINA: User's Guide to a Computer Model for Damage Assessment of Complex Airbase Targets
TSARINA permits damage assessments of attacks on an airbase complex composed of up to 500 individual targets (buildings, taxiways, etc.) and 1000 packets of resources.
TSARINA determines the actual impact points by Monte Carlo procedures and the losses and damage are assessed using "cookie-cutter" weapon-effects approximations.
TSARINA may be employed separately as a general-purpose model or used in conjunction with the TSAR (Theater Simulation of Airbase Resources) computer model to assess the impact of airbase damage on sortie generation capabilities and to evaluate proposals for improving those capabilities at an airbase or set of airbases.

 Thirteen years at the Russian Court :: Chapter IV :: Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna
The Tsarina, Alexandra Feodorovna, formerly Alice of Hesse, and fourth child of the Grand Duke Ludwig of Hesse and Alice of England, youngest daughter of Queen Victoria, was born at Darmstadt on June 6th, 1872.
A sense of endless despair filled the Tsarina's soul; it seemed as if the whole world were deserting her (Her continual fear of an attempt on the life of the Tsar or her son always helped to wear down the Tsarina's nervous vitality).
This moral hold of Rasputin on the Tsarina cannot possibly be understood unless one is familiar with the part played in the religious life of the Orthodox world by those men who are neither priests nor monks-though people habitually, and quite inaccurately, speak of the "monk" Rasputin - and are called stranniki or startsi.
