“When the bell tolls three times, it will announce that I have been killed. If I am killed by common men, you and your children will rule Russia for centuries to come; if I am killed by one of your stock, you and your family will be killed by the Russian people!"
Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin was a Russian mystic and self-proclaimed holy man.

The Imperial Family in the Livadia Palace by Daria Buravtseva
"In my work ... I set the task of showing a long-gone era, and people whose fate personifies the tragedy of the Russian Empire. One day I was traveling the Crimea and visiting palaces, wandering through museum halls filled with Crimean air and scorching sun. At that moment, a long-gone era appeared before me as if it were yesterday.
I wanted to show the Romanovs not as the royal seven, but as living happy people. I had a desire to show that history is multifaceted and consists not only of tragic moments but is also full of happy moments in the lives of historical figures."

“Our dear little ones, thank God, are healthy; Nixa [Grand Duke Nicholas Alexandrovich] has become very sweet, he starts smiling when I say to him: “Hello, Nikolai Alexandrovich;” and Lina [Grand Duchess Alexandra Alexandrovna] as you know, is my passion; when I have her with me, I always ask her : “Where is Mama?” - and she always points me to your portrait.”
— the future Emperor Alexander II of Russia in a letter to his wife, the future Empress Maria Alexandrovna.
