Monument to Grand Duke Sergey Alexandrovich in the Kremlin

Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich was one of Alexander III's younger brothers. His views were as reactionary as his brother's. He held considerable power during Alexander's reign and continued to do so under his nephew Nicholas II. Sergei was also the Tsar's brother-in-law, as he married Empress Alexandra's sister, Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna.

After a long and distinguished military career, he was appointed Governor General of Moskow, a position only answerable to the Tzar. Although Sergei was often condemned as a complete reactionary during his governorship, according to his brother-in-law Ernest, Grand Duke of Hesse, he wanted and strove for improvements, which angered conservatives, but blocked revolutionary reforms, which infuriated radicals because he considered them impractical or thought that Russia was not ready for them. He held his post as governor of Moscow for nearly fifteen years. Sergei resigned during great political unrest, not only tired after many years of service but also dissatisfied with the policies of the new Tsar. Fearing an assassination attempt, he moved his family into the Kremlin and took many security precautions. His premonition was correct. On his way out of the Kremlin, he was blown to pieces by a terrorist bomb.

Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna was devastated by her husband's death and decided to take the veil. In 1908 she had a monument built to Sergei's memory in the exact place of his assassination. In 1918, the Bolsheviks destroyed the memorial. It was restored in 1998 in the Novospassky Monastery, where Sergei's remains are buried. The second restored monument was consecrated in the Moscow Kremlin in 2017, where the original monument once stood. (gcl)

Roger Delgado makes a brief appearance as an unnamed but helpful Argentine diplomat, in Overseas Press Club - Exclusive!: Two Against the Kremlin (1.13, ABPC, 1957)

#fave spotting #roger delgado #overseas press club exclusive! #two against the kremlin #delgado!master #classic doctor who #doctor who #abpc #1957 #classic tv #a very pleasant surprise! i assumed i was all done with finding blorbos in OPCE but then up pops Rog for a little scene in the final episode #he's an embassy diplomat‚ which was kind of his stock in trade role before he fell into villain work #not much variation in images bc he's only onscreen for about 30 seconds to give Ralph Bellamy's US newspaperman some tips on #getting his family out of Moscow. I've mentioned in other OPCE posts that the veracity of the 'true stories' told is difficult to pin down #Bellamy is playing journalist Eddy Gilbert‚ a very real person‚ and the details of his marriage to a Russian ballet dancer‚ Tamara‚ and the #opposition they faced from Russian authorities is certainly true; their relationship was well known enough to have inspired a film‚ 1953's #Never Let Me Go starring Clark Gable as Gilmore and Gene Tierney as Tamara (albeit with names changed and some highly dramatic additions #to their story). how much is true of the rest of this tv ep is anyone's guess but it's certainly among the more believable #and there's nothing too objectionable (accounting for cold war era attitudes‚ i mean)

Tracer fire from anti-aircraft batteries and searchlights light up the sky during the first air raid on Moscow - July 22 1941. 220 German Heinkel He-111s and Dornier Do-217s flown by select Luftwaffe pilots with new high-altitude engines attacked for approx five hours. Although there were a number of air raids over Moscow, these were very infrequent and largely ineffective
