  • Romanov News Новости Романовых
    Romanov News Новости Романовых By Ludmila & Paul Kulikovsky №128 November 2018 - Part 1/2 7 In the memory of Emperor Alexander III In 1894, Alexander III became ill with terminal kidney disease (nephritis). Maria Feodorovna's sister-in-law, Queen Olga of Greece, offered her villa of Mon Repos, on the island of Corfu, in the hope that it might improve the Emperor's condition. By the time that they reached Crimea, Alexander was too weak to travel any further, so they stayed at the Small Palace in Livadia. Recognizing that the Emperor's days were numbered, various Imperial relatives began to descend on Livadia and also the famed clergyman John of Kronstadt, who administered Communion to the Emperor. On 21 October, Alexander received Nicholas's fiancée, Princess Alix, who had come from her native Darmstadt to receive the Emperor's blessing. Despite being exceedingly weak, Alexander insisted on receiving Alix in full dress uniform, an event that left him exhausted. Soon after, his health began to deteriorate more rapidly. After a sleepless night on November 1st the Emperor knew that his time was almost up. At 10 in the morning all the family gathered around the Emperor seated in his favourite armchair, who spoke a few kind words, kissed all who were present; not forgetting to congratulate Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna's on the occasion of her thirtieth birthday. At 11 morning, the situation was described as: "(The) activity of the heart continues to diminish. Shortness of breath is increasing. Fully conscious." In the presence of Father John of Kronstadt, Alexander took communion at 11.30.

  • Crimea Regain Strategy
    Crimea Regain Strategy The regain of the ARC (Autonomous Republic of Crimea) to Ukraine will commence with Ukrainian troops entering the peninsula. No referendums to confirm the mandate of Ukraine for the return of Crimea are needed because Ukraine did not recognize any illegal referendum on its separation. So, how do we approach that happy moment of restoring the territorial integrity of our country?
