DESTRUCTION OF THE IPATIEV HOUSE IN THE 1970s: During years, the House of Ipatiev, which was built in the 1880s, became a "museum of the revolution", an "anti-religious museum", center of the Ateia Society Council, the Regional Archives of the Party and the office of the Rector of the University Communist Ural-Siberian. The walls exhibited rows of portraits of Bolshevik leaders. Posters and diagrams hailed the glory of communism, showing that a much larger number of tractors, airplanes, and tons of steel that had been produced in Stalin's day than at the time of the Tsar Nicholas II. A room upstairs was dedicated to the Romanovs, with short excerpts of Nicholas diary, of Alexei diary and the front page of a newspaper in Ekaterinburg with the headline: "Executing Nicholas, the bloodthirsty murder - shot without bourgeois formalities, but in accordance with our democratic principles”. The basement, where the imperial family was murdered, was not part of the museum and was full of old boxes stacked up to the ceiling. In 1977, KGB director, Yuri Andropov, convinced President Leonid Brezhnev that the House of Ipatiev had become a place of pilgrimage of incognito monarchists. Because of this, a Kremlin order was issued to the First Secretary of the Sverdlovsk Region, Boris Yeltsin, to destroy the house. On the night of July 27, 1977, a huge demolition ball hanging on a crane destroyed the whole house. #romanovfamily #romanovs #russianimperialfamily #ipatievhouse #monarchy #oldrussia #20century #royalchildren #tsar #tsarina

PIERRE GILLIARD: THE TUTOR OF THE ROMANOV CHILDREN: Pierre Gilliard was a Swiss academic and author, best known as the French language tutor to the five children of Emperor Nicholas II of Russia from 1905 to 1918. In 1921, after the Russian Revolution of 1917, he published a memoir, “Thirteen Years at the Russian Court”, about his time with the family. In his memoirs, Gilliard described the Tsarina Alexandra's torment over her son's haemophilia and her faith in the ability of starets Grigori Rasputin to heal the boy. Gilliard was born on 16 May 1879 in Fiez, Switzerland and, initially, he came to Russia in 1904 as a French tutor to the family of Duke George of Leuchtenberg, a cousin of the Romanov family. He was recommended as a French tutor to the Tsar's children and began teaching the elder children, the Grand Duchesses Olga and Tatiana Nikolaevna of Russia in 1905. He grew fond of the family and followed them into internal exile at Tobolsk, Siberia, following the Russian Revolution of 1917. The Bolsheviks prevented Gilliard from joining his pupils when they were moved to the Ipatiev House in Ekaterinburg in May 1918. (In the post above, in the lower right corner, there is a postcard that Gilliard dedicated to someone, proving that he was also tutor of Tsarevich Alexei Nicholaevich, dated December 20, 1927). #otma #otmaa #pierregilliard #royaltutor #theroyaltutor #tsarevichalexei #alexeiromanov #grandduchessolganikolaevna #grandduchesstatiana #grandduchessmaria #grandduchessanastasia #romanovchildren #oldrussia #ofrussia #alexeinikolaevich #20century #oldhistory #alexeinikolaevichromanov

THE BIRTH OF GRAND DUCHESS MARIA NIKOLAEVNA ROMANOVA: 120 years ago, on June 26, 1899, the Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna Romanova was born in Peterhof, St. Petersburg, third daughter of Tsar Nicholas II and of his wife, the Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna. When Maria was born, her father wrote in his diary: "A happy day: the Lord sent us a third daughter - Mary - who was safely born at 12:10am. Alix barely slept during the night and in the morning the pain increased, but thank to God, it was all over quickly. My dear wife felt good all day and she herself fed the baby ... the afternoon was wonderful”. #grandduchessmaria #mariaromanov #marianikolaevna #thirddaughter #royaldaughter #grandduchessmarianikolaevna #grandduchess #otma #theromanovfamily #romanovfamily #romanovimperialfamily #mariaromanova #oldrussia #ofrussia #imperialfamily #imperialrussia

Я многого уже достиг в этой жизни- эти двое счастливы. ____ фото: @speranskaya костюмы: @kapussta_nz

Where are my jar with butter and mr. Grey Wolf? This weekend me with Trogher had got mushroom pursuit (the first this year); and we had found seven things! ——————————————————————— На выходные уехали от шума и забот поискать грибов; и знаете что: нашли целых семь отличных красноголовиков! Это были отчаянные поиски, потому что в этот раз мы решили не брать никакой еды, кроме мешочка крупы (поехали с одной ночевкой), так что при неблагоприятном раскладе была бы у нас на ужин каша без топора. Но с грибами повезло :) Попутно встретили гадюку, живордку, мельком видели косулю (и волка, и бабушку, и охотников ) #viking #vikings #oldrussia #reenactment #reenactor #norsvik #outdoorlife #bushcrafting #bushcraft #forestlovers #northstyle #north #karelia #fantasyphotography #hiking #hiking_hobby #wildlife #travelstagram #travelblog #livefolk #liveadventure #hiking_daily #livinghistory #norsvik #vikingreenactment #карелия #приключения #походы #историческаяреконструкция

Все знают, какой сегодня день? В народном календаре 21 июля – день Прокопия-жнеца, жатвенник. По народному поверью можно было в полном смысле слова удачу встретить. На полях появлялась загадочная камаха (в толковании это и краска, и насекомое червец, и лихорадка). Свиваясь в клубок, подкатывалась она под ноги первому встречному, который с этой минуты мог считать себя счастливейшим из смертных. Ведь находка камахи предвещала богатство и благополучие на весь год. Чтобы ни затевал обладатель камахи, какое бы, даже самое гиблое дело ни планировал, все мечты и пожелания его сбывались.

THE LAST LETTER - THE PAIN OF A MOTHER: This was the last letter Nicholas II received from his mother, the empress Maria Feodorovna, during his lifetime. The letter was written on November 2, 1917. "Dear Nicky, I just received your letter of October 27, which filled me with joy. You know that my thoughts and prayers never leave you and I think of you every day and every night and sometimes I feel such pain in my heart that I think I will can’t will take it. But God is merciful. He will give us strength during this torture. Thank God that you are well and, that at least, you and his family are living together and comfortable. It's been a year since you and my dear grandson Alexei came to see me in Kiev. I live only with my memories of the happy past and try the best that I can forget this nightmare. I was very happy to receive those letters from Alix and of my grandchildren. Thank you and I send kisses to everyone. It's so sad that we're apart. May God bless you, send you strength and peace and do not allow Russia to fade away. Many kisses. May Christ be with you. With much affection and love of his old mom. Mammy " (the letter that is in the post is another letter, but also was written by the Empress Maria Feodorovna) #thelastletter #tobolsk #nicholasii #empressmariafeodorovna #lastletter #royalson #oldhistory #1917 #otmaa #alexandrafeodorovna #russianrevolution #russianrevolution1917 #romanovfamily #imperialfamily #relative #theromanovs #emperor #empress #romanovdynasty #missingmother #mariafeodorovna #tsarnicholasii #oldrussia
