    Romanov News Новости Романовых By Ludmila & Paul Kulikovsky №115 October 2017 Monument to Emperor Alexander III the Peacemaker in Livadia. Photo by Archpriest Dmitry Gotskalyuk Monument to Emperor Alexander III is in place in Livadia October 18, the long-awaited monument to Emperor Alexander III was put in its place, in the park of the Livadia Palace. The monument is made by sculptor Andrei Kovalchuk. The opening of the monument will take place later in November. "It is also necessary to put asphalt and bring the territory around the monument in order" it is said. First it was planned to open the monument on the 123 years since the death of Alexander III (he died on November 1, 1894), but then it was postponed. In 1894 Emperor Alexander III became ill with terminal kidney disease (nephritis). In the fall of that year, 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. However, when they reached Crimea, they stayed at the Maly Palace in Livadia, as Alexander was too weak to travel any further. Recognizing that the Emperor's days were numbered, various Imperial relatives began to descend on Livadia. Even the famed priest John of Kronstadt, came and administered Communion to the Tsar. Emperor Alexander III eventually died in the arms of his wife at Maly Palace in Livadia on the afternoon of 1 November [Old Style 20 October] 1894 at the age of forty-nine. "God, God, what a day! The Lord has called to Him our adored, our dear, our tenderly loved Papa.

Toward the end of Dashkova's life, a young Irishwoman named Catherine Wilmot who enjoyed an extended visit with her issued the following warning, I have since I came here often thought what a task it would be to attempt to draw the Character of the Princess Daschkaw! I for my part think it would be absolutely impossible. Such are her peculiarities & inextricable varietys that the result would only appear like a Wisp of Human Contradictions .•• But she has as many Climates to her mind, as many Splinters of insulation, as many Oceans of agitated uncertainty, as many Etnas of destructive fire and as many Wild wastes of blighted Cultivation as exists in any quarter of the Globe! For my part I think she would be most in her element at the Helm of the State, or Generalissimo of the Army, or Farmer General of the Empire.

  • Russian Eugenics Journal
    Preface USSIAN EUGENICS AND THE Russian Eugenics Journal have always evoked interest; how- Rever, the question was not resolved: If the articles in this journal are so good, then why did eugenics lead to racism? Indeed, 100 years ago the mainstream American eugenics meant racism, xenophobia, and compulsory sterilization. It appears that for exactly this reason the appearance of Anglo-American medical genetics was delayed for about 20 years. However, the Russian eugenics movement was designed and has developed as a pre- cursor to research in human evolution, human behavior, and human genetics. “Why then don’t we call eugenics ‘medical genetics’?” asked a colleague. But eugenics is not medical genetics; it is not even entirely a science. A science does not appear in ready form like Athena from Zeus’s head; there needs to be a preliminary orientation period. Russian eugenics was a discussion of certain themes and approaches, a kind of anticipation. N.K. Koltsov’s eugenics addressed a comprehensive study of man. For Yu.A. Filipchenko, eugenics was demographic statistics. The Russian eugenics movement was concerned with a wide variety of fields, includ- ing evolutionary genetics and evolutionary theory, population genetics and population ecology, the study of human constitution and typology, psychology and behavioral sci- ence, pathography, pedology, and many others. All these fields were unlucky to be disfa- vored by Stalin, and as a result they ceased, and books and journals on these subjects were banned. In 2005, over winter vacation, an old friend asked me what I would be doing over the near year. I mentioned Dawn ..., and he replied (only partially joking): “Twenty years ago you would have been shot for that right away.” But this book was conceived 30–35 years ago: Eugenics is related to population genetics, my first field of study, and 20 years ago I was already giving a series of lectures on the history of eugenics.

But the international community knows little about the reverse side of the anti-terrorist, anti-drug and anti- crime offensive of the Putin government: the accompanying further degradation of Russian public life and the dramatic narrowing of both the civil liberties and, indeed the basic safety of persons who had already been the most vulnerable victims of racism and discrimination. For such persons, particularly those of perceived Caucasian or Gypsy background, daily life has become marked by the permanent threat of arbitrary search, detention and physical abuse by police officers, or of arbitrary law enforcement by persons acting fully outside the law, who have apparently deputised themselves on the basis of perceived or invented popular mandate. The Russian government has to date done little to nothing to stem the tide of deeply ingrained racial prejudice fuelling both arbitrary acts by police and judicial authorities, as well as the popular pressure on public authorities to exercise draconian measures on certain ethnic groups.
