! Pushkin (Tsarskoye Selo) Tour This small charming town located just 20 kilometres south of St.Petersburg is interesting not only for being Romanov's Summer Residence since the times of Peter the Great. Young Alexander Pushkin studied here, and the place remained a source of inspiration throughout the poet’s life. It was here where the first successful attempt to build an ideal Russian city was made. Its parks truly are masterpieces of landscape art and the imaginative and sophisticated take on their pavilions cannot fail to amaze. We will also learn how the royals spent their leisure time. The palaces have witnessed influential historical events – from the birth of future emperors to the last departure of the Nikolai II and his family to Tobolsk. The city itself presents a unique opportunity to see the town-planning model used to build such Russian cities as Saratov, Omsk, Tomsk, Krasnoyarsk, Smolensk etc. Tsarskoye Selo is also the first station of the first Russian railroad. Pushkin studied at Tsarskoye Selo at one of the best educational establishments of his time. Later he would come back as a newlywed to spend here his honeymoon. We will see - Pushkin’s dacha - The remaining part of the ideal city (the Cathedral Square, Gostiny Dvor, post office and police department) - The Alexander Park and Alexander Palace – the birthplace of Nikolay II, the Arsenal, the White Tower, the Parnas hill, the Chinoiserie - The Catherine Park and the Catherine Palace, the Lower Bathhouse, Turkish Baths, the Chesme column, the Cameron Gallery and the Hermitage We will learn about the architects and geniuses (a Dutchman, two Scotsmen, two Englishmen and a Russian) behind this magnificent complex of parks, palaces, churches, bridges, and pavilions. !.

Village Fête in the Environs of Tsarskoe Selo
PIERRE ALEXANDROVICH PARISOT, called LUDOVIKI (Paris 1750 - 1820) Village Fête in the Environs of Tsarskoe Selo signed 'P. Ludowick' (on the reverse) oil on canvas 70.5 x 89 cm (27¾ x 35 in) ‘How tender is the wealth of Flora here. How the pleasance of the air is linked with the goddess of these beautiful heights.’ - Mikhail Lomonosov’s Ode to Elizabeth, For the Royal Favour Shown to him in the Town of Tsarskoe Selo, 1750 N THIS JOVIAL VILLAGE SCENE, REMINISCENT OF Dutch sixteenth-century genre painting, or a fête champêtre, the local fête appears to be in full swing with merriment and dancing. On the left- hand side, a group of villagers drink together around a table. Two of the men, with heavy eyelids that speak of the day’s excesses, lean across ito embrace their less than amused female companions. The large jug by the side of the table suggests that the wine will continue to flow for some time to come. To their right, a mother affectionately holds her daughter’s hand, as she nibbles on a biscuit with much enjoyment, whilst her sister sits contently in their mother’s lap. Further to the right, in the centre of the painting, a young girl with a golden, crescent-shaped kokoshnik on her head appears to have caught the attention of more than one suitor; the arrival of a new gentleman, who appears keen to take over the lead in the dance, disquiets her partner. The girl wears her hair in a single, long, braided plait, finished off with a ribbon, as was characteristic of unmarried women of the time.

She was already upstairs, and half an hour later this happy event came about. I have no words worthy enough to be able to thank God for the consolation granted by Him in this year of hard trials. Darling Alix felt quite well. Mama came at 2 and sat by my side before her first meeting with her new grandchild. At five I went to church service together with the children where the whole family gathered. Wrote a lot of telegrams.

The cover photo shows a silver ruble of 1895 with the head of Emperor Nicholas II and later stamped on it the text "Fall of the House of Romanovs March 1917". March is in many ways a dramatic month for the Romanov Dynasty. The start of the dynasty, with Michael Feodorovich's election as Tsar in 1613 is commemorated in March. Tsar Alexei Michailovich was born in March 1629. Emperor Paul I was killed in March 1801. In March 1845 Emperor Alexander III was born. In March 1855 Emperor Nicholas I died. In March 1861 Emperor Alexander II liberated the serfs, but it did not prevent him to be killed by the "People's Will" in March 1881. In March 1917 Emperor Nicholas II abdicated and Emperor Michael II deferred his acceptance of the throne until the people had approved the continuation of the monarchy - it never happened, and it was the end of the Romanov dynasty's reign. The Romanov dynasty started in March, with a Michael, and ended in March with a Michael.
