    Romanov News Новости Романовых By Paul Kulikovsky №89 August 2015 A procession in memory of Tsarevich Alexei was made for the twelfth time A two-day procession in honor of the birth of the last heir to the Russian throne - St. Tsarevich Alexei, was made for the twelfth time on August 11-12 from Tsarskoye Selo to Peterhof. The tradition of the procession was born in 2004 - says the coordinator of the procession Vladimir Znahur - The icon painter Igor Kalugin gave the church an icon of St. Tsarevich. We decided that this icon should visit the Lower dacha, where the Tsarevich was born. We learned that in "Peterhof" in 1994 was a festival dedicated to the last heir to the imperial throne. We decided to go in procession from the place where they lived in the winter - from Tsarskoye Selo. Procession begins with Divine Liturgy at the Tsar's Feodorovsky Cathedral and then prayer at the beginning of the procession. The cross procession makes stops at churches and other significant sites. We called the route of our procession "From Sadness to Joy." They lived in the Alexander Palace in Tsarskoye Selo, loved it, there was born the Grand Duchess Olga. But this palace became a prison for the last of the Romanovs, where they then went on their way of the cross. It was in this palace the Tsarevich celebrated his last birthday", - says Vladimir. The next morning, after the Liturgy, we go to the birthplace of the Tsarevich - "Peterhof". Part of the procession was led by the clergy of the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul in Peterhof, Archpriest Mikhail Teryushov and Vladimir Chornobay.

    The History of Napoleon Buonaparte

    THE HISTORY OF NAPOLEON BUONAPARTE JOHN GIBSON LOCKHART CHAPTER I BIRTH AND PARENTAGE OF NAPOLEON BUONAPARTE—HIS EDUCATION AT BRIENNE AND AT PARIS—HIS CHARACTER AT THIS PERIOD—HIS POLITICAL PREDILECTIONS—HE ENTERS THE ARMY AS SECOND LIEUTENANT OF ARTILLERY—HIS FIRST MILITARY SERVICE IN CORSICA IN 1793. Napoleon Buonaparte was born at Ajaccio on the 15th of August, 1769. The family had been of some distinction, during the middle ages, in Italy; whence his branch of it removed to Corsica, in the troubled times of the Guelphs and Gibellines. They were always considered as belonging to the gentry of the island. Charles, the father of Napoleon, an advocate of considerable reputation, married his mother, Letitia Ramolini, a young woman eminent for beauty and for strength of mind, during the civil war— when the Corsicans, under Paoli, were struggling to avoid the domination of the French. The advocate had espoused the popular side in that contest, and his lovely and high-spirited wife used to attend him through the toils and dangers of his mountain campaigns. Upon the termination of the war, he would have exiled himself along with Paoli; but his relations dissuaded him from this step, and he was afterwards reconciled to the conquering party, and protected and patronised by the French governor of Corsica, the Count de Marbœuff. It is said that Letitia had attended mass on the morning of the 15th of August; and, being seized suddenly on her return, gave birth to the future hero of his age, on a temporary couch covered with tapestry, representing the heroes of the Iliad.

    Women and the War of 1812 in Upper Canada

    ''Wants and Privations'': Women and the War of 1812 in Upper Canada GEORGE SHEPPARD* Most accounts of Canada's pre-modern conflicts present women as either heroes or victims. This preliminary investigation of the immediate impact of the War of 1812 reveals that wartime experiences were far more heterogeneous. Many Upper Canadians were inconvenienced by the fighting, primarily because militia service made pioneer fanning more difficult. Hundreds of other residents suffered immensely due to the death and destruction inflicted by particulclr campaigns. A great number of women were affected only marginally by the fighting, however, and some actually benefited from the war. For some, the war brought increased profits from sales of goods to the military, as well as unprecedented opportunities for employment, courting, and excitement. lA plupart des documents reUJtanJ les conflits premodernes du Canada depeignent les femmes comme des heroines ou des victimes. Cette etude preliminaire de l'impact immediaJ de la Guerre de 1812 brosse un portrait nenement plus hiterogene de leur vie en temps de guerre. Les combats perturbaient de nombreux Hauts-Canadiens, surtout parce que le service militaire compliquait /'agriculture au temps de la colonisation. Des centaines d'autres etaient cruellement eprouves par l£l mort et les ravages causes par certaines campagnes. Mais de nombreuses femmes souffraient peu de la guerre, en beneficiant meme dans certains cas. En effet, certaines encaissaient davantage de profits grlJce a l£l vente de marchandises aux militaires et voyaient comme jamais auparavanJ les possibilites d'emploi, les courtisans et les moments exaltants se bousculer a Jeurs portes. ON NOVEMBER 21, 1815, Sussanah Jessup of Augusta County, Upper Canada, put the finishing touches to a letter addressed to Gordon Drum­ mond, former administrator of the colony.
