  • Romanov News Новости Романовых
    Romanov News Новости Романовых By Ludmila & Paul Kulikovsky №116 November 2017 Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna - "Akhtyrskaya Mother of God" The centenary of the October Revolution - Plenty of exhibitions, not much else November 7th arrived, the day of the centenary of the October Revolution, and expectations or even fear for some people were high, what would happen? Some even talked in advance about the possibility of a new revolution, but in fact not much happened. Also the official silence on the Revolution speaks volumes. Though a few public exhibitions were on display, the official narrative ignored the centenary of the Revolution in all spheres of the political system. It seems that it was more anticipated, talked about, and commemorated outside Russia and one can wonder why, now when the West is so Russophobic? Maybe many Westerners, who benefited from freedoms denied to Soviet citizens, naively romanticize the revolution, seeing it as being about kicking the rich and helping the poor. Do they really see Lenin as a "Robin Hood"? The truth is much more complicated. Ultimately, the October Revolution was a tremendous catastrophe that resulted in the split of a nation, a bloody civil war, mass murder, millions people forced into exile, the destruction of much of Russia’s creative and scientific establishment and the export of this brutal regime to other countries - where it all was repeated. Maybe the West were hoping for a new revolution in Russia, and they hoped this way they would kindle the revolutionary spirit of Russians today? If so, they failed! The fact is that the Russian elite are far more consolidated around President Putin than they were once around Emperor Nicholas II.

    Romanov News Новости Романовых By Ludmila & Paul Kulikovsky №№9977 April 2016 Emperor Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra Feodorovna at Easter service in Moscow Kremlin, 1900 Easter at the court of Emperor Nicholas II 30 April. State Hermitage Museum - Emperor Nicholas II's dairy allows one to restore the Easter celebrations at the court of the last Russian Emperor. In the diary of 1894, we see Tsarevich and Grand Duke Nicholas Alexandrovich in one of the happiest of his Easter weeks when the Heir to the Russian throne with a brilliant retinue arrives in Coburg asking for the hand of Alice of Hesse: "On the eve of Easter on Holy Saturday went four of us Aunt Ella (Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna ) Alix (Alice of Hesse), Sandro (Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich) and I to buy all sorts of trinkets to hide in the eggs. Although the rain did not cease to pour we had a lot of fun and laughed ... at 5 o'clock a courier arrived with the precious letters from home, with Order and with wonderful gifts for Alix from Dad and Mom and Easter eggs. A lot of joy they brought to both of us." In the early years of the reign young Emperor with his wife according to established ceremonial traditions, at midnight on Easter headed a procession in a magnificent cortege through the state rooms of the Winter Palace to the Great Church, making all the required rituals and solemn service. He often personally participated in the removal of the shroud. At the dawn, after the liturgy, the Royal family gathered for the Passover meal with Easter cakes and colored eggs in the magnificent Malachite Room, adjacent to the Emperor's personal chambers.

  • Imperial Throne Halls and Discourse of Power in the Topography of Early Modern Russia (Late 17Th–18Th Centuries)
    Ekaterina Boltunova Imperial Throne Halls and Discourse of Power in the Topography of Early Modern Russia (late 17th–18th centuries) The development of the Russian topography of power, that is, monarchical representation in palaces, cathedrals, tombs, administrative buildings etc. was completed by the mid-19th century. It was well thought out, elaborate and thoroughly centred on the tsar/emperor. Furthermore, what we might call the Russian discourse of power was realised in the topo- graphy of both capitals and in some important outlying districts. In the “old” capital, Moscow, the important places are in the Kremlin: the Terem Palace (Teremnoy Dvorets), Faceted Chamber (Granovitaya Palata), Great Palace, the tombs of the imperial dynasties, cathedrals) as well as in some country residences (Kolomenskoe, Lefortovo). Here the representation of supreme power was linked to pre-imperial traditional and ecclesiastical culture. The “new” capital (St Petersburg), on the contrary, was intended to convey the perception of imperial, Europe-centered power. The complex of buildings that represented sovereign power is striking: the Romanovs’ Letny (Summer) and Zimny (Winter) Palaces, the Anichkov, Mramorny, and Tavrichesky Palaces, the Peter and Paul (Petropavlovsky) Fortress, the monastery of St Alexander Nevsky (Lavra), as well as numerous state buildings and residences in the outskirts of St Petersburg such as Peterhoff, Pavlovsk, Garchina, Oranienbaum, Tsarskoe Selo, and Strelna. Throughout the period of Muscovite Russia (pre-18th century) and in the early period of the Russian Empire (18th century) topographical elements in the various categories of power coexisted in a mutual and interdependent way. However, at the centre were the monarch’s palaces and, more precisely, throne halls.

  • BORIS GODUNOV and Other Dramatic Works
    oxford world’ s classics BORIS GODUNOV and other dramatic works Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin was born in Moscow in 1799 into an old aristocratic family. In 1817 he received a nominal appointment in the government service, but for the most part he led a dissipated life in the capital while he continued to produce much highly polished light verse. His narrative poem, Ruslan and Lyudmila (pub. 1820), brought him wide- spread fame. At about the same time a few mildly seditious verses led to his banishment from the capital. During this so-called ‘southern exile’, he composed several narrative poems and began his novel in verse, Eugene Onegin. As a result of further conflicts with state authorities he was con- demned to a new period of exile at his family’s estate of Mikhailovskoe. There he wrote some of his finest lyric poetry, completed his verse drama Boris Godunov, and continued work on Eugene Onegin. He was still in enforced absence from the capital when the Decembrist revolt of 1825 took place. Although several of his friends were among those executed or imprisoned, he was not implicated in the affair; and in 1826 he was par- doned by the new Tsar Nicholas I and permitted to return to Moscow. By the end of the decade, as he sought to become a truly professional writer, he turned increasingly to prose composition. In the especially fruitful autumn of 1830, while stranded by cholera at his estate of Boldino, he completed Eugene Onegin, wrote a major collection of prose stories (The Tales of Belkin), and composed his experimental Little Tragedies.
