War Communism Post War Europe • New nations began to establish governments that were responsible to mass electorates. Germany, Austria, and Hungary, etc. were not used to this style of government. • The Treaty of Versailles left many European nations feeling betrayed or in the case of Germany humiliated. • Other nations, such as the United States wanted to return to Pre-War economic prosperity. Warren G. Harding return to Normalcy. • The European economy was devastated by World War I. Europe’s infrastructure in shambles. The Soviet Experiment • The Communist Party established in 1917 lasted until 1991. The formation of the Soviet Communist state establishes a fear in the rest of Europe of the spread of Communism. • The Red Army under the leadership of Leon Trotsky crushed resistance. The Cheka or secret police used surveillance and enforced the Central Committee’s orders. • The government seized grain from peasants and controlled production, and ran banks, heavy industry, and transportation – called War Communism. War Communism and the New Russia • The Communists in order to defeat their many enemies adopted “War Communism” taking over banks, factories, mines, etc. and drafting peasants into the military. • Trotsky organizes the army into an effective fighting force. Every 10th man was shot if they didn’t perform their duties. • Lenin adopts a Constitution and the Supreme Soviet, an elected legislature. Lenin used the army and the secret police to keep control. Adopts NEP -semi capitalism. Stalins’ Soviet Union • Lenin adopts limited capitalism-the“ New Economic Policy”,by 1928 production is back to prewar levels. Lenin dies in 1924. • The two contenders for power were Leon Trotsky and Joseph Stalin. Stalin wins the struggle and later Trotsky is murdered in Mexico. • Stalin sets out to turn Soviet Russia into a modern nation. He begins five-year plans or goals for industry. A Command Economy – the government makes all the economic decisions. ( it doesn’t work) Post War Italy and Germany • Italy was outraged by the Treaty of Versailles. They had hoped for land across the Adriatic Sea.(Yugoslavia) • The economy was in shambles from the expense of World War I. Socialism, Nationalism, and political turmoil added to the growing disorder. • From the chaos of Italian politics emerges Benito Mussolini. • He organizes the Fascist party. Black shirted thugs enforce his orders. Il Duce Italy’s Postwar Problems • Mussolini organizes a March on Rome, to take over and fix the problems of government. • Mussolini without firing a shot is asked by the King of Italy to organize a government. • Mussolini took more power. He called himself Il Duce-the leader. • The state took control of business and workers lost rights as well as pay. Fascism vs. Communism • In theory they are opposite ends of the political spectrum. Fascism favors the corporate state and Communism favors the worker run state. • In reality they look the same. • Totalitarian governments control the media, limit freedoms to participate, one man, leadership. • They use schools to indoctrinate, state spies to spread fear, state control of the economy. Italy and Mussolini Mussolini, Hitler and Roosevelt Italy Invades Ethiopia Post War Germany • In 1919 a new German Republic drafted a constitution in Weimar, called the Weimar Republic. • The Republic was faced with run away inflation, unemployment, Communists and conservatives clashed in the streets. • The German people blamed the Republic for selling out when negotiating the Versailles Treaty. • France occupied the Ruhr Valley, when Germany missed reparation payments. • U.S. helped with aid in the Dawes Plan. German Recovery and Hitler • American loans and France withdrawing troops helped Germany begin the long road to recovery. • Germany begins to recover when the Great Depression hits. Hitler promises to end the economic problems. • Hitler was born in Vienna Austria moved to Germany. He served in the military in WWI. He was a struggling artist. Hitler joins the National Socialists and becomes the leader in a year. He uses Storm Troopers-Brown Shirts to enforce his rules. Hitler Takes Control • Britain’s economy was a wreck after WWI. Low wages, and high unemployment caused a general strike in 1926. • Problems and violence in Ireland lead to the creation of Eire or Irish free State. • Canada, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand become the British Commonwealth Nations. Postwar France • France was devastated from the WWI. Casualties were high, the economy was not as bad as some due to war reparations. • Socialist Leon Blum and the Popular Front dominated French politics. • The Maginot Line a series of forts across French and German border attempted to protect france from German aggression. Postwar U.S. • The U.S. economy was great after WWI. “The Roaring 20’s” • The United States tried to be leaders in peace, and also leaders in isolationism. • The Red Scare of the 1920’s and fear of Bolsheviks. • The Great Depression bursts the bubble. Leads to the election of F.D.R. • Roosevelt implements the New Deal, government programs to help people.

Page: The Swiss and the Romanovs The Swiss and the Romanovs by Dwight Page For centuries, the Swiss people and government have sup- ported the cultural, intellectual, and economic objectives of the Rus- sian people and the Russian government. Especially during the Impe- rial Era of Russian history (1682-1917), the assistance provided to the ruling house of Russia by Swiss nationals was indispensable and of vital importance in helping the Russian royal house to achieve its cultural, political, pedagogical, and ecclesiastical goals.1 The Petrine Period (1682-1725) Contacts of some con- sequence between the Swiss and the House of Romanov started as early as the seven- teenth century, when a twenty- year-old Swiss soldier François Lefort came to Moscow in 1675 to serve the Romanov Dynasty, and soon reached a position of prominence. Although Czar 1 The Romanov Dynasty began to rule Russia in 1613 when, shortly after the Time of Troubles, Michael Romanov was accepted as the new Tsar by the boyars in Kostroma, at the Ipatieff Monastery.

The first chapter shows how the reburial of the Romanovs invoked tsarist imagery as part of a larger series of invocations of the tsarist past by then-President Boris Yeltsin and other groups to build a new government. However, due to political tension and infighting the only group that benefited from the reburial of the Romanovs was the Russian Orthodox Church. The second chapter explores how the embalmed body of Vladimir Lenin is problematic by being unburied and being a reminder of Soviet times. Both of these chapter use newspaper articles, speeches, and interdisciplinary analysis of academic text to show how Boris Yeltsin, Vladimir Putin, and the Russian Orthodox Church built, or attempted to build, stability in post-Soviet Russia.

  • Romanov News Новости Романовых
    Romanov News Новости Романовых By Ludmila & Paul Kulikovsky №117 December 2017 Detail on a door in the Russian Orthodox Church of Saint Elizabeth in Wiesbaden, Germany The conference and exhibition "Hessian Princesses in Russian History" in Frankfurt On December 19, in Frankfurt-am-Main, Germany, the scientific and educational conference "Hessian Princesses in Russian History" arranged by the Russian Ministry of culture and the Elizabeth-Sergei Enlightenment Society, was opened. The conference was held in the "Knights hall" of the "German order" - commonly known as the "Teutonic Knights" - the full name being "The Order of Brothers of the German House of Saint Mary in Jerusalem". It is a Catholic religious order founded as a military order c. 1190 in Acre, Kingdom of Jerusalem. More than 50 Russian and German historians, archivists, and cultural figures attended the conference. Among them were: Alla Manilova, Deputy Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation; Anna Gromova, Chairman of the Elizabeth-Sergei Enlightenment Society"; Karl Weber, Director of the Office of State Palaces and Parks of the Land of Hesse; Sergey Mironenko, Scientific director of the State Archives of the Russian Federation; Elena Kalnitskaya, General director of Museum "Peterhof", and Ludmila and Paul Kulikovsky. The relations between the Hessen and Russian Imperial houses started in the reign of Empress Catherine the Great. In 1773 she invited the Hessian Princess, Wilhelmina Louisa of Hesse-Darmstadt, to St. Petersburg. On 29 September the same year Princess Wilhelmina married Empress Catherine the Great's son, the Tsarevich Paul Petrovich - the later Emperor Paul I. In Russia she was named Grand Duchess Natalia Alexeevna.

MORE ON THE ROMANOV FAMILY After Tsar Nicholas II abdicated, the Bolsheviks placed him and his family under house arrest. This image, from the Romanov Collection at Yale University’s Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, depicts Tsarevich Alexei (the former heir) and his father (the former Tsar) cutting wood at their exiled residence in Tobolsk (during 1917). Online via Wikimedia Commons. Once he gave up the throne, Nicholas was no longer Tsar. When he was no longer Tsar, his family was under house arrest in their own home. Nicholas, as prisoner, was a beleaguered man. The strain of defeat, humiliation and concern for his family began to show on his face. It wasn't long before the Romanov family was forced to leave their beloved palace at Tsarskoe Selo. They were no longer free to go to PeterhofPeterhof (the stunning summer palace with dozens of gold fountains and a canal to the sea), where most of the children had been born. Instead, they were exiled: first to Tobolsk; (where they lived in the Governor's home and Nicholas and Alexei cut their own wood); then to Yekaterinburg (also spelled Ekaterinburg), a Siberian town near the Ural Mountains, 850 miles east of Moscow.

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).

  • Kings, Queens, Tsars, and Commissars Russia Gets the Roya
    Kings , Queens, Tsars , and Commissars Russia Gets the Roya¡ Treatment ANN E. ROBERTSON Monarchy can be caz integral parí of denrocratic state structure and personifYv spiritual and historical unity of the nation. -Boris Yeltsin to Queen Elizabeth 11, 18 October 1994 F or Moscow, the Cold War symbolically ended in October 1994, when Queen Elizabeth lI of Great Britain made an historie state visit to Russia. Ending nearly a century of chilly relations between London and Moscow, the state visit was the final stage of a reconciliation process begun by Margaret Thatcher and Mikhail Gorbachev in December 1984. Throughout the twentieth century, the Soviet Union and Russia have received royal rewards for good behavior and roya] snubs for actions that displeased the British government. After carefully doling out roya¡ recognition to the USSR, Britain sent its queen to welcome post-communist Russia to the post-Cold War world. For Boris Yeltsin, royalty not only has become a stamp of international approval, but also a safe outlet for Russian nationalism and a convenient shorthand for condemning his Bolshevik ancestors. As the most visible modern royal family, Britain's House of Windsor can leve] significantly more weight in diplomatic attitudes toward foreign countries than can minor or deposed crowned heads. Dinner with the Emperor of Japan may be nice, for example, but Yeltsin finds more prestige in hosting the British queen. The Windsors also have dynastic and historical ties to Russia. Britain is, of course, a constitutional monarchy. The sovereign may advise the prime minister, but has no real political authority. Instead, as head of state, the monarch represents her government and embodies history, continuity, and national pride.

MORE ON THE ROMANOV FAMILY After assassinating the Tsar, his family and four of their helpers, the Bolshevik executioners had to hide eleven bodies. They placed the remains of all the murder victims into a Fiat truck, of the type depicted in this image, to move them away from the Ipatiev House. The "Reds" (Bolsheviks) were worried that the "Whites" (loyalists) would break-into the "House of Special Purpose" and find the bodies. Image online via "Photos of the Revolution." After several aborted efforts to dispose of the bodies, Yurovsky and his detachment finally decided to burn them. But burning a human body takes a long time if the temperature is not hot enough. Once again Yurovsky had to make a different plan. We wanted to burn [Aleksei] and Alexandra Fedorovna, but by mistake the lady-in-waiting [the maid Demidova] was burnt with Aleksei instead. We then immediately buried the remains under the fire and lit the fire again, which completely covered up traces of the digging. Meanwhile, we dug a common grave for the rest.

Bloodshed, holy men, a domineering wife, and a haemophiliac son are recurring themes in studies of Nicholas’ reign. There is also a tendency to overlook the four girls in white dresses who appear on the margins of these narratives: the Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia Nikolaevna, daughters of the tsar.

PPeerrrsshhiiinn Romanov News' wishes for 2016 For many people it is a tradition to make New Year wishes, which for some are an expression of hope for things to happen in the new year and for others a list of goals to be worked towards during the year. Romanov News wishes listed below are a part of both. These wishes are not new for us, but we would like to use this opportunity to remind all our readers, what we wish and work towards. It is certainly our hope that these wishes will happen now rather than later, and even if in most cases we can do little to make it happen, we can pray and keep reminding people (including authorities) about these outstanding issues. On some of these wishes we are actively working and on some are other good people working, which gives us more than just hope, that these wishes might be fulfilled in the near future - if not this year, then next year! 1. Burial of Tsarevich and Grand Duke Alexei Nicholaievich and Grand Duchess Maria Nicholaievna. 2. The remains of Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovich and his secretary Brian Johnson, shot in Perm, to be found. 3. The remains of the four Grand Dukes, shot in the Peter and Paul Fortress, St. Petersburg - Paul Alexandrovich, Dimitri Konstantinovich, Nicholas Konstantinovich and George Mikhailovich - to be found. 4.
