Suddenly a gray wolf appeared out of nowhere and devoured the horse. But now, about all the city, the most uncomplimentary glory upon you Its beauty tempted him, and he touched it, and instruments of brass sounded. So he crept up very quietly to the tree and caught hold of the bird by the tail. But as he looked at the golden cage he could not help coveting it. But the bird managed to wriggle out of Ivan's grasp, leaving the youth with only a bright red tail feather. The ladies-in-waiting hastened to the Palace and Tzar Afron sent many soldiers in pursuit, but they could not catch the Grey Wolf and soon he overtook Tzarevich Ivan. Enough that thy brothers have gone from me. Ivan remained awake the entire time, and upon seeing the bird, tried to catch it by the tail. Seek not therefore to leave me! One day he saw that one of the eolden apples was missing. Go to the stable and bring out the horse. It is, Dear Father, the Firebird. For I have loved her for long with my soul and my heart, and yet cannot win her. Tzarevich Ivan opened the door of the stables and there he saw the Horse with the Golden Mane, whose brightness was such that the whole stall was lighted by it. Here is a memento from the culprit for you to take. Be well. Ivan Tsarevich fell asleep. In the middle of the night he stopped at a stone wall. When he saw a mother crow and her two babies circling and hungrily looking at Ivan, he waited until they landed and grabbed one of the babies. On the next night the middle son went to stand guard and also slept the whole night, but in the morning said that he hadn't seen the culprit. Half the tales here are true oral tales, collected by folklorists during the last two centuries, while the others are reworkings of oral tales by four great Russian writers: Alexander Pushkin, Nadezhda Teffi, Pavel Bazhov and Andrey Platonov. In the copper cage is a crow, in the silver one is a jackdaw, and in the golden cage is the Glowing Bird. The artists, composers and choreographers who contributed to Sergei Diaghilev's projects are now household names -- Igor Stravinsky, Anna Pavlova and George Balanchine among so many others. So they killed Prince Ivan, seated themselves on the golden-maned horse, put beautiful Helen on another, and threatened her: "You must not say a word to anyone when we get home. If thou wilt ride across three times nine countries to the thirtieth Tzardom of Tzar Afron, and wilt win for me from him the Horse with the Golden Mane, which his father promised me and which is mine by right, then will I give to thee with all joy the Glowing Bird. And, just as the wolf had said, in the attic window a golden cage was hanging, and the Firebird was in the cage. To all Aryan peoples, Nature has always been alive, but never universalized, or romanticized, as in modern days; wherever you were, the brook, the wind, the knoll, the stream were all inhabited by agencies, which could be propitiated, cajoled, threatened, but, under all conditions, were personal forces, who could not be disregarded. All over town, people could hear the explosive roar as smoke shot upward from the old abandoned warehouse. Suddenly the whole orchard lit up, as if a thousand lights were shining on it - the firebird was making its entrance! Updated 16 October, - Kerry Sullivan. Ivan remained awake the entire time, and upon seeing the bird, tried to catch it by the tail. The Tale of Tsarevich Ivan, the Firebird, and the Grey Wolf Reviews Ivan Tsarevich is a placeholder of sorts for the male protagonist of many famous Russian folk, myths and legends Ivan is one of the most common names in Russia.

Autumn Time. Fairy Tales. It has been corrected. The tsar was so surprised that he fell down right where he was standing, and the Grey Wolf took flight, quickly catching up with Ivan Tsarevich. Ivan Tsarevich rejoiced, but the Grey Wolf said to him: "Sit on me quickly, for they will not be far behind. Why didn't you listen to my instructions? Take the rope, don't say that it is not strong.

  • Jan Sobczak Alexei Nikolaevich, Tsarevich of Russia
    Jan Sobczak Alexei Nikolaevich, Tsarevich of Russia Echa Przeszłości 12, 143-156 2011 ECHA PRZESZŁOŚCI XII, 2011 ISSN 1509-9873 Jan Sobczak ALEXEI NIKOLAEVICH, TSAREVICH OF RUSSIA This article does not aspire to give an exhaustive account of the life of Alexei Nikolaevich, not only for reasons of limited space. The role played by the young lad who was much loved by the nation, became the Russian tsesarevich and was murdered at the tender age of 14, would not justify such an effort. In addition to delivering general biographical information about Alexei that can be found in a variety of sources, I will attempt to throw some light on the less known aspects of his life that profoundly affected the fate of the Russian Empire and brought tragic consequences for the young imperial heir1. Alexei Nikolaevich was born in Peterhof on 12 August (30 July) 1904 on Friday at noon, during an unusually hot summer that had started already in February, at the beginning of Russia’s much unfortunate war against Japan. Alexei was the fifth child and the only son of Nicholas II and Alexandra Feodorovna. He had four older sisters who were the Grand Duchesses: Olga (8.5 years older than Alexei), Tatiana (7 years older), Maria (5 years older) and Anastasia (3 years older). In line with the law of succession, Alexei automatically became heir to the throne, and his birth was heralded to the public by a 300-gun salute from the Peter and Paul Fortress. According to Nicholas II, the imperial heir was named Alexei to break away from a nearly century-old tradition of naming the oldest sons Alexander and Nicholas and to commemorate Peter the Great’s father, Alexei Mikhailovich, the second tsar of the Romanov dynasty that had ruled over Russia for nearly 300 years from the 17th century.

Pierre Gonneau Maksim the Greek and the death of the first tsarevich Dmitrii (1553) Historical episode or edifying anecdote ? Pierre Gonneau (Sorbonne Université – PSL. EPHE) The three main characters of this study have made a long journey during their lifetime and still continue to travel in the pages of historiography. Maxim the Greek (ca. 1470-1555 or 1556) was born in Arta (Epirus), studied in Corfu, visited Florence, Milan and Venice, where he worked with the finest philologists of the time and listened to Savonarola’s preaching, then came back to his orthodox roots on Mount Athos, and finally was invited in Muscovy, to amend Slavonic versions of the liturgical and canonical books.

  • Muslim Iurts of Muscovy: Religious Tolerance of the Steppe in the XV-XVI Centuries 1
    Muslim Iurts of Muscovy: Religious Tolerance of the Steppe in the XV-XVI Centuries 1 BULAT RAKHIMZYANOV This article is dedicated to the study of a unique phenomenon – the mutual relations between the Muscovite state and Tatar ethnic foundations that existed on its territory during the XV-XVI centuries. Being a part and later a successor of a huge empire of the Golden Horde, 2 Muscovy adopted a number of its political and social institutes. One of the most striking examples in this respect is religious tolerance widespread at Steppe and borrowed by Muscovy. Historians of Muscovy commonly portray the period of the XV-XVI cc. as a time of Russian disengagement and retrenchment, as Muscovite leaders fought to preserve their hard-won sovereignty in the face of continuous Tatar aggression. Such por- trayals are accurate, but only to a certain extent. Throughout this period there were numerous Tatar raids into the Muscovite heartland, and Muscovite forces repeatedly joined the battles against Tatar armies throughout the region. However, the analysis of primary sources clearly demonstrates that in general the description mentioned above is unsatisfactory. The relations between these states were very pragmatic and forcedly-friendly; religious and national antagonism played no significant role in their diplomacy. 3 The examination of Tatars residing in Muscovy in the XV-XVI cc. reveals that in practice religious affiliation was not the sole factor that determined acceptance into Muscovite society. Muslim Tatars, represented at both elite and common levels, were not excluded from Muscovite society, but found positions in it and were treated in a manner similar to that of their Orthodox brethren.

  • Wendall Dayley
    The Right to Rule An Alternate History Novella A Creative Project By Wendall Dayley BIS 490 Spring 2007 Wendall Dayley Chapter 1 March, 1881 Nicholas Romanov knew the successive explosions that shook the windows of the Winter Palace meant pain and suffering for him and his family. He could not explain how he knew, he just knew. He did not have long to wait before his fears were confirmed. A pair of uniformed Cossacks brought a litter bearing the bloodied body of his grandfather, Alexander Nicholaevich Romanov, Tsar of all the Russias, into the study and laid it gently on the marble floor at his wife’s feet. The Tsar’s morganatic wife, Princess Yourievsky, blanched at the sight but kept her composure. She sent for a messenger to retrieve the Tsarevich, Alexander's eldest son and heir, Alexander Alexandrovich, and a doctor. When the runners had left on their errands, she called for bandages and water. The glance the Princess shared with Nicholas’ mother conveyed her belief that medical ministrations would prove futile. As news of the tragedy spread, the sounds of mourning began to drift through the halls of the Winter Palace. The cries of grief reverberated off the gilded walls and suddenly crowded passageways as servants and retainers scrambled about in a panic. Nicholas, oblivious to the lamentation of his household, stared in shock and horror at the mutilated body of his grandfather, Tsar Alexander II. The state of the Tsar’s body held him transfixed. An assassin’s bomb had blown one leg apart, nearly severing it cleanly from the thigh at the knee.

  • The Knight of the Holy Rus
    D.B.Grishin THE KNIGHT OF THE HOLY RUS CENTENARY OF THE DEATH OF GRAND DUKE SERGEI ALEXANDROVICH "Eternal memory is to you in the Holy Rus, our dear Grand Duke, loved by us so deeply! Remember us in your devout prayers before the Throne of the Almighty; let the Lord send peace and quiet onto our land, the land that caused you so much grief and concern while you were still with us." "Moskovskiye Vedomosti", February 1905 Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich, son of the Tsar- Liberator, brother of the Tsar-Peacemaker, uncle of the Tsar-Martyr. One of the most tragic figures of the eve of the Russian catastrophe, a person of a complex dramatic destiny, not understood and even slandered both alive and after death. An adherent to firm political principles and convictions, he was a highly cultured man and one of the most educated people of his time. A fearless knight, he was fighting with the enemies of faith and motherland both on the battlefields and at the invisible front of the confrontation of ideas. Being the zealot of the Orthodox Church he became the first martyr of the Russian Imperial Dynasty in the 20th century. An entire century passed since the day of his death but a heavy cloud of obscurity still covers the life and deeds of Sergei Alexandrovich. It is only after his wife, Grand Duchess Elizaveta Fyodorovna, was canonised (in 1981 abroad and in 1992 in Russia), the image of Grand Prince began to take shape on the pages of books and articles.

The lives of monarchs often are complicated by their political roles and greatly affected by tragedy, leading to compelling biographies. Russian history and the collapse of the Romanov house has interested me since middle school, likely due to my interest in the Slavic world due to my Czech and Polish heritage. As a political science major, international relations has been my main body of work, and I have long been interested in the collapse of the monarchy in favor of republican governance (or communism, in the case of the Soviet Union).
