MY SISTERS WERE KILLED: HOW MUCH CRUELTY: On August 28, 1918, a memorandum confirmed the long awaited news. Lord Stamfordham, George V's secretary, was one of the first to hear what Lord Milner of the War Ministry reported: "We have just received a very distressing telegram from the Intelligence Officer that there is every likelihood that the empress of Russia, her four daughters and the Tsarevich were all murdered along with Tsar”. The information came to the Intelligence Officer from a source he had no reason to doubt”. Posteriorly, the King George V received confirmation that everyone feared: that the entire imperial family was murdered by the Bolsheviks in Ekaterinburg. On September 2, the empress's older sister, Victoria, also received the news and was deeply shocked. Later, she also learned that her other sister, the Grand Duchess Ella, had also been killed and that her body was recovered in a mine on September 29, when the Whites took Alapaevsk.

THE MAIN MENTOR FOR THE DEATH OF THE IMPERIAL FAMILY IN EKATERINBURG:
Lenin never rushed when it came to making a decision. He loved to put his enemies against each other. As long as the Romanovs were useful for some political purpose, they would be kept alive in Yekaterinburg. For some time, Lenin even hoped that it would be possible to use them to bargain with the Germans, but with the regional Soviet of the Urals and other soviets hard lines sending thousands of telegrams that required the execution of Tsar, he knew that time was against, but Lenin wanted to make sure that his name wasn’t in any way stained by their murder. What was clear is that the enigmatic Sverdlov, the man who actually commanded the party machine, was the one who moved to seal the ultimate fate of the imperial family in direct talks with the Bolsheviks of the Urals. But this don’t exclude the fact that for Lenin, the Romanov dynasty "was a monarchist filth" and for that the revolution and the "social cleansing" to occur, "hundreds of Romanov heads hading to be cut off.” In the end, it was the argument that the Czechs were advancing that made them kill not only the Tsar but also the rest of imperial family. #tsarnicholasii #romanovfamily #romanovs #monarchy #imperialfamily #russianrevolution #imperialrussia #russianempire #tsar #nikolasii #nicholasii

Все никак не могу завершить с цветочную тему. Обещаю после этого поста вернуться к Наполеону. И про королеву Луизу я тоже еще не все дописала… Но сегодня об одуванчиках.
–
Я с детства помню одуванчик в хрустальной вазочке из Оружейной палаты (1). На фоне золота-бриллиантов, сияющих изо всех витрин, он выглядел более, чем скромно. Ребенком я была образцовым и гида слушала внимательно. Но из всей экскурсии мне в память врезался только рассказ о том, что пушинки одуванчика настоящие и что их каким-то невероятным образом не только закрепили на серебряных «ножках», но и украсили напоминающими росу бриллиантами. Для меня было каким-то невероятным открытием, что роскошь – это не всегда дорогие материалы. Это может быть уникальная идея или уникальное мастерство.

Я очень долго была уверена, что «наш» одуванчик – абсолютно уникальный. Но это не так. Фаберже выпускал подобные изделия с 1902 года. Их можно увидеть и в других музеях (2-4) и даже частных коллекциях (5). Были даже броши-одуванчики (6).

И вот что интересно, пару лет назад в музее Виктории и Альберта проходила выставка «Что такое роскошь?» На ней были представлены экспонаты, которые кураторы считали предметами роскоши благодаря очень различным качествам: традиции, ограниченности ресурса и так далее. Самым ярким экспонатом на этой выставке был светильник с лампочками-одуванчиками (7-8). Время идет, а изделия с невесомым пухом остаются символами высочайшего мастерства.
