Who were the powers that were? —Michael Z. 2005-10-20 00:06 Z
- There's an expression in Russian "власть предержащие", meaning "those who govern the country" or, literally, "those who hold power". I translated it as the "powers that be". You can change it to the government of Alexis I of Russia, if you want details. KNewman 01:57, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
