City Hall Mulls Taxing Doubles of Tzars, Soviet Leaders
Tsar Nicholas II carries around a doctor's note that states he's not psychotic. Upon request, he also retrieves, from the inside pocket of his blue military uniform, a passport, veteran's card and a certificate to prove that he is registered as a sole proprietor.
