[the-last-tsar]

"Over the centuries, the Empire has grown in size and in the number of conquered peoples. It once possessed an area equivalent to one-sixth of the globe, stretching from the Pacific to the German border, on which the sun never set and which was ruled by an autocrat Tsar who owed satisfaction only to God."

The Romanov Martyrs

I wanted to put together a little memorial that included all the members of the Romanov Family (as well as the members of their staff) that were murdered by the Bolshevik terrorists. This seems like a good week to keep them in our minds. Although we love and mourn the children especially, there were others we cannot forget.

Tsar Alexandre II was hunted down until finally blown to pieces.

Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna lost two sons and five grandchildren (no wonder she could not accept they were dead)

Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich was also hunted down and blown to pieces

Three Mikhailovichi brothers were murdered

Four Konstantinovichi were murdered, three of them brothers; I cannot imagine what their mother, Grand Duchess Elizabeth Mavrikievna, went through...and so on.

May they rest in peace.

Tsar Alexander II and his daughter Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna.

Close as Marie Alexandrovna was to her mother, the grand duchess enjoyed an even closer relationship with her father, even after he assumed the burdens of his empire. "Almost every evening I come to feed soup to this little cherub," the tsar confided to Anna Tiutcheva. "This is the only enjoyable minute of my whole day, the only time when I forget the troubles that weigh upon me." Early in Marie Alexandrovna's life, Tiutcheva noticed that "she is only one year and eight months old, but she is being turned into a toy of her father, who dotes on her." The tsar never lost this special affection for his daughter, whom he allowed to burst into his study and interrupt his meetings with ministers. Marie Alexandrovna could often be found during such important work sessions being bounced by the tsar on his knees.

I hope your day is going as well as it can! I do have a question for you. If you could meet/ know any question about any past tsar’s or imperial monarchs (excluding OTMA and family) who would you pick and why? I feel like personally I would love to meet or know any questions Catherine the great and the golden age of the empire. And to answer your question from your last message to me I did see the coin! Quite lovely! And hilariously coincidental) -🇪🇸

Hi lovely! My day is actually doing very well! I would love to answer this question!!! 🤍

So if I had to pick anyone that’s not NAOTMAA (😩 why) and if it HAS to be a Russian monarch then I think I would choose Tsar Alexander II or Empress (CONSORT) Alexandra Feodorovna (Charlotte of Prussia)

I would choose these people for similar but different reasons. They both experienced SO much loss and I just want to give both of them a hug (we’ll maybe not Alexander lol). I want to see Sasha specifically bc I just would love to see him in the last few years of his life when he was with Catherine Dogorukova. She really was the love of his life, and her too, and I just really like imagining their little family together. Yes yes I know that this was an affair that turned into a marriage but I just really ship them. I feel so bad for Maria bc he cheated on her but she isn’t like my fav empress I guess idk 🤷‍♀️. I want to see Alexandra because I don’t know, she just experienced so much loss in a different way. She was deeply scarred by some protest (I forget what) which left her sick for the rest of her life and she lost her daughter Adini (Alexandra Nikolaevna) at a young age. She also just emits this soft and cuddly nature to me and I feel like she really just needs a hug. I just want to tell her that everything will be okay and that she will be with Adini soon. ❤️‍🩹

Thank you for asking and I will get the chapter u sent in our soon!!! 💕

The failure of political reform

'By the end of the [nineteenth] century, then, Russia's internal politics hovered uneasily between two incompatible systems. Alexander II's reforms had severely shaken the traditional personalized power structure but had not managed consistently to replace it with institutions of civil society or the rule of law. To plug the resulting authority gap, the regime had nothing else at hand but the police, backed up by emergency powers. Having set out to demolish an old building and erect a new one, the regime had then changed its mind and started repairing the ruins: the resultant hybrid architecture threatened the equilibrium of the entire edifice. The regime was in an indissoluble dilemma, caught between perception of the need for civic institutions and inability to introduce them without undermining its own stability.'

The Uses of History, 20 – Russia the Long-Suffering, 2 – 1825 to 1905

The Uses of History, 20 – Russia the Long-Suffering, 2 – 1825-1905 Everybody has always underrated the Russians. They keep their own secrets from foe and friends. Winston Churchill, 1942 (Image credit – WIkipedia, Lenin at Tempere, 1905) Churchill called himself a “friend of Russia”, but he was well known for his loathing of Communism. He recognized Stalin as a wily leader, but never trusted…
