I do not know if anyone will be as excited as me, or maybe everyone has already seen this before, but ... look at this beauty! Look at full, how wonderful, how lovely it is!!! Look at how complete! We can see above their heads; we can even see their feet!

New photographs of the last Romanov family (scroll to see them all!)

Some of the photographs were previously only available for viewing in very low resolution - see these photos for before vs after to show the difference!

The photos mostly originate from the meetings of the Romanov family with their Hessian relatives: the Tsarina’s brother Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig, his wife Grand Duchess Eleonore, and their children, Georg Donatus and Ludwig. Photographs include the family on the Standart yacht, in the Livadia Palace dining hall, and at events greeting the public, from around 1910 to 1912.

Finally, in big size: Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia with their brother, baby Tsarevich Alexei, in 1904.

This is one of my favourite OTMAA pictures.

I just discovered the art of Pavel Ryzhenko, and oh my goodness. hes done so much art depicting Imperial Russia which are some of my favorites. Unfortunately he was a monarchist and idolised Nicholas II, but I myself am here to admire his beautiful art. ”Imprisoned at Tsarskoye Selo” (2004)

Depicting the Tzar, Tzarina (with a tired and aged appearance from the results of fatigue over her short lifetime of childbirth and stress), and their young son Alexei (with a bandaged bleeding knee, symbolising his hemophilia, in bed - where he was most of his short, short, life.)

“The Ipatiev House. The morning after.” (2004)

Depicting a Bolshevik troup tearing apart a room in the Ipatiev House (or “The house of special purpose”) the morning after the murder of the Romanov family in that very house.

“The Farewell of the Tsar to His Troops” (2004)

Namesake, the Tzar bidding goodbye to his troops in the freezing Russian winter.

About Imperial Russia and monarchism- I am not a supporter of Nicholas II or monarchism, but I believe that he shouldve been given a trial by jury and HIS CHILDREN SHOULD NOT HAVE DIED. Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia, and Alexei were completely innocent and had nothing to do with their fathers pathetic and disgusting choices as Tzar. So im just putting that there for clarification.

Rest in peace, royal angels Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia, and Alexei ☦️

Day 27: Favourite summer-themed photos of royals at Balmoral Castle

This is a series of footage clips containing several members of the British Royal Family including Queen Victoria, Prince Arthur of Connaught and his children, Princess Helena Duchess of Albany and her children, and also Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna. This is sole of the first footage taken of most of these royals (except the Russian couple whose 1894 coronation was filmed) and is a perfect example of how the BRF vacationed at Balmoral (the location of the footage).

"... I had already learned from Ella that she had learned Tatyana's final monologue secretely from her husband, and the Tsarevich had taken the role of Onegin. They had a small stage set up in the room of Ella's lady in waiting, Kozlyaninova, and they would gather there and rehearse. When everything was ready, they played two scenes from Eugene Onegin in front of Sergei...

... The curtain rose. There was a garden with a bench on the stage; Ella ran out, Nicholas followed her. Both were dressed in costumes from the beginning of this century and very well dressed. The Tsarevich very sweetly and clearly delivered his monologue: "You wrote to me, do not deny it!" Only in his voice was it heard that he was very timid. - Then the stage turned into Tatyana's room. Ella delivered her monologue with a great sense. She had not yet been in Russia for 6 years, and she had already appeared on the stage. Of course, her pronunciation betrayed her, but it was redeemed by the depth of feeling in her acting."

The Feodorovsly Imperial Cathedral, located in Tsarskoye Selo at Saint Petersburg, a short walk from the Alexander Palace, served as the Tsar and Tsarina’s house church for the Imperial family, while they were in residence in the Alexander Palace.
