Members of the Russian Imperial court in 17th-century dress at the Winter Palace costume ball of 1903

The 1903 ball in the Winter Palace was a luxurious ball during the reign of the Emperor Nicholas II of Russia. It was held in the Winter Palace, Saint Petersburg, in two stages, on February 11 and 13. All the visitors were in bejeweled 17th-century style costumes, made from designs by the artist Sergey Solomko, in collaboration with historical experts.

Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovitch recalled the occasion as "the last spectacular ball in the history of the empire ... [but] a new and hostile Russia glared through the large windows of the palace ... while we danced, the workers were striking and the clouds in the Far East were hanging dangerously low."

1. Grand Duchess Elizaveta Fyodorovna 2. Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna Romanova 3. Grand Duke Andrei Valdimirovich 4. Countess Woronzow-Daschkow, nee Orlow, as a Cossack woman 5.  Baroness Emma Freederiksz 6.  Konstantin Gorchakov 7.  Duchess Marie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin

(More photos here)

Edit: katrinaftw44 repliec: The picture of Maria Nikolaevna is an edit, I saw it when it was published on deviantArt. She would have been way too young to attend the 1903 ball

Thanks for the info!

Currently there is no known photos of the wedding of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and Princess Alix of Hesse and By Rhine on 14 November 1894 ( 26 November 1894 N.S.) at the Grand Church of the Winter Palace.Of course they may still be in the Russian Archives,not yet released

On 19 April 1894, Tsarevich Nikolai Alexandrovich Romanov of Russia was at the wedding of Ernst-Ludwig Grand Duke of Hesse, to their mutual cousin,Princess Victoria Melita of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Nicholas had also obtained permission from his parents, Tsar Alexander III and Empress Marie Feodorovna, to propose to Ernst's younger sister, Princess Alix of Hesse and by Rhine.The Emperor and Empress had initially been opposed to the match. However, Nicholas, who had first met Alix a decade earlier in St. Petersburg when Alix's sister, Princess Elisabeth of Hesse and by Rhine, married Nicholas's uncle, Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich Romanov of was not to be dissuaded. Furthermore, Tsar Alexander's health was beginning to fail.

Shortly after arriving in Coburg, Nicholas proposed to Alix. However, Alix, who was a devout Lutheran, rejected Nicholas's proposal, as in order to marry the heir to the throne, she would have to convert to Russian Orthodoxy.However, Alix's cousin, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, who had been at the wedding, insisted that it was her duty to marry Nicholas, despite her religious scruples.Elisabeth also spoke with her, insisting that there were not that many differences between Lutheranism and Orthodoxy. At the prompting of the Kaiser, Nicholas proposed for the second time, and she accepted.

On 1 November 1894, Alexander III died at Maly Palace, Livadia, leaving twenty-six-year-old Nicholas as the next Tsar of Russia. The following day, Alix, who had arrived at Livadia several days earlier in order to receive the dying Tsar's blessing, was received into the Russian Orthodox Church as Grand Duchess Alexandra Feodorovna.Alix had apparently expressed her wish to take the name Catherine, but decided to take the name Alexandra on Nicholas's request.

milena loved her mum, but her dad is where she inherited her primary traits. he was brash, rude, determined, but also a really great father. anyone who knew him watched as he mellowed out after kolya came along, but he melted around milena. he was the first man she ever wrapped around her finger.

simka was prone to bouts of melancholy, and while lenya thankfully never inherited it, nikolai had started showing signs that he would. despite being the older sibling, he was the softer one, and lenya would sometimes wake up so him snuggling in her bed because he needed the comfort.

ekaterina was always the life of the party, a bright and shining beacon, she never intended to marry a man who would become royalty, she married maksim because she loved him, she was unfaithful to him because he became a man she didn’t marry.

when her parents died, and lenya and kseniya were taken in by their uncle, she was scared she would feel like an outlier. she never had before, she always fit in with her cousins, but she had also never lived with them. once she was there she never felt that way again.

kostya is her favourite cousin, but mostly because he’s been so attentive during the pregnancy. her favourite doesn’t change with her mood but she usually changes it every couple of years. 

elisa and i haven’t discussed this but lyosha totally walked lenya down the aisle at her wedding to henri.

she walked herself down the aisle to pyotr tho.

k’s seem to be a running theme in her immediate family ( eg. simka, katya, kolya, kseniya ), when she was drunk at university she got a teeeeeny tiny ‘ k ’ on her pelvis, it’s tucked underneath her underwear. only people that she’s been intimate with and her doctor know that it’s there.

once she left russia for university, up until she returned after henri’s death, she would dedicate the first weekend of every month to seeing kseniya. usually, it meant she’d fly to st. petersburg on the friday, and fly back on sunday night. once, prince albert honoré demanded she attend an engagement on the designated saturday, so she took the jet he was planning on using that night to see one of his mistresses so that he couldn’t go without flying commercial. sucks to suck.

nadya cried when she held katya for the first time, and i just can’t keep it to myself any longer, it might be my favourite hc ever ( ty jude imy :(( )

𝐎��𝐂 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐒

honestly, this was so much work, but most of it was just finding decent pictures

when i was searching for maksim’s fc my criteria basically was: scruffy, tired, maybe pouty, 10/10 would shag. honestly ? i #nailedit

same criteria for alexei but mostly just that tired aesthetic bc you know he just is. pining after anneli is a full-time job.

i saw this instagram post and just knew that jessica biel had to be kseniya + lenya’s mum. i mean, those lips.

vaguely remembered once seeing a picture of rachel mcadams from the sherlock premiere and looked for it for an hour because it just fits irina so well.

nadya is on there because she’s canon forever okay fight me

let’s all just pretend pyotr isn’t there, he has to be but yk, ew. 

i cry every time i look at nikolai okay, he’s a BABY why did i kill him off

i realised lenya has a type — aka if your character is between 30 and 40 and has blue eyes, blonde/light brown hair and a jawline carved by jesus himself, she wants you.

mimi. that's it, that’s the dot point. i just love her a lot.

‘ former husband ’ sounds a lot better than DEAD husband, but when i say i was tempted...

casey deidrick only has semi-shirtless photos or black and white ones, i dig the aesthetic but lenya really would just like kostya to put his shirt on thank you very much

Katya (far left) wears an Edwardian coiffure c. 1901 and a cream-colored dress based on an early Edwardian tea gown. Liza (middle) wears a child's curls and a silk-and-lace dress based on the dresses belonging to the Grand Duchesses Romanova c. 1900. Count Poltoratsky (far right) wears antique spectacles, a silk ascot tie with a pearl tie pin, a silk handkerchief, a striped waistcoat, and a double-breasted (extremely historical inaccurate) civil servant's uniform.

Marie of Baden, Duchess consort of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel and Brunswick-Oels. She was married to Frederick William, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, and was the daughter of Charles Louis, Hereditary Prince of Baden, and Landgravine Amalie of Hesse-Darmstadt. Marie was the younger sister of Russian Empress Elizaveta Alexeievna Romanova.

[mactirian]

Elizaveta Petrovna Romanova is such an understimated monarch in russian history. Like… she liked wearing soldier’s uniform. She truly loved Russia and everything Russian (fuck you Pyotr Fedorovich). During her reign no noble was beheaded (Also, she told to a child-king Ivan Antonovich ‘There’s none of your fault in this, sweet child’. He and his family were not murdered). She liked partying. She patronized clever people. With Elizaveta’s help was founded one of the most famous universities in Russia and in the world - MSU and Academy of Art. A lot beautiful palaces were built in St.Petersburg during her reign. Russian army also was very succesfull in war. Plus, she helped Catherine II (who she personally named after her own mom, though) when she came to Russia to marry Peter III.

[annalaurendet70]

One of my favourite lesser known of the Romanovs was Princess Elena Petrovna Romanova of Russia.Born a Princess of Serbia,she married Prince Ioann Konstantinovich Romanov of Russia.

During the downfall of the Romanov Dynasty,Elena accompanied her husband voluntarily to his exile in Alapayevsk,but Ioann persuaded her to leave Alapaevsk and go back to their two young children, whom she had left with Ioann's mother, Grand Duchess Elizaveta Mavrikievna Romanova of Russia.

She had a "safe conduct" pass signed by Trotsky it was decided that she should go find the children and return as a family; despite the pass the local Commissar only allowed her to go to Yekaterinburg to appeal to the head of the Soviet there.She was reluctant still to leave her husband and when she went to leave she was so upset the guards allowed the prisoners to come out to wave goodbye; the sight of all of them lined up struck her with an overwhelming fear and shouted for the driver to stop but the family turned and went in after giving her encouraging signals;Elena thus went on

She was then on her own to travel and faced several dangers and intimidating situations.

In June 1918, Elena visited the Ipatiev House and demanded to see the Tsar, secretly hoping to pass on letters to the Imperial family from their relatives.

Elena identified herself as the wife of an interned Romanov but also as the daughter of the King of Serbia; the commander was taken aback but refused entry but agreed to pass a message to the Tsar.

After being refused entry, she went to the Amerikanskaya Hotel, making repeated enquiries to the Cheka. She was however arrested by the secret police and she was imprisoned in Perm.

Probably because by now her situation was known and the Serbs were making noises Elena was given her pass to Petrograd; the head of the Serb mission was at her hotel to greet her and gather the children and Elena and take them to Murmansk but Elena was determined to return to Alapayevsk and Ioann; she would accept his help as far as Petrograd but announced she would not leave Russia without Ioann

The group boarded a train but the Bolsheviks uncoupled their carriage and surrounded it and they were taken prisoner on Alexander Georgiyevich

Beloborodov's orders; she was separated from the Serb diplomat and taken to Yakov Mikhailovich Yurovsky where she was strip-searched and locked in a room.

After 2 weeks Elena was told the Alapayevsk prisoners had been set free and the White Army was approaching; little did Elena know her husband and relatives had been murdered

Yakov Yurovsky then ordered Elena to dress to go 'to Moscow' but they drove out to a forest where Elena was sure she'd be shot in reprisal for the prisoners' 'escape' but they entered a clearing where a train waited; the Bolsheviks were taking hostages to protect them from the Whites; the party of a few dozen included Mr Atamamnoff and the Serb diplomat; Helen was stunned to see that the only women in the group were Countess Anastasia Vasilievna Hendrikova and Catherine Alphonovna Schneider who had accompanied the Imperial Family and who had been imprisoned since their arrival; the hostages were herded onto the train which headed to Perm where they walked to the prison and the 3 were placed in one cell

They soon heard of the Imperial Family's fate and after a few weeks the guards came for Hendrikova and Schneider who were then shot; Elena was now alone and she was soon moved to a cell with 12 female criminals who were mostly prostitutes who'd killed lovers, husbands or for money; things started off badly but Helen eventually made friends with some and promised to help them rebuild their lives if they survived; Elena spent 5 months in total in the cell; because no one knew precisely were she was she was believed dead and her father began mourning

In December the Norwegian ambassador (who helped as representative of a neutral country) found her ; the guards came for Elena who was sure this was the end but they informed her she would be given a diplomatic passport to leave Russia.

When she reached Moscow though she wasn't taken to the Norwegian consulate but rather to Lubianka prison; the man in charge was known for his cruelty but he actually treated Elena fairly well; he didn't confirm the Alapayevsk deaths but did those of the Imperial Family, he promised to find out about her children and did--reporting they were in Sweden; Elena was supposed to be kept under guard in the prison but Peters obtained rooms for her in the Kremlin; she was given a good meal but her system was so abused that she couldn't eat it and instead gave it to a guard who'd served with her father-in-law.

Soon Peters gave her the news that she could leave the next evening but had to be off Russian soil within 48 hours; the Norwegian ambassador told her to go to the Consulate and gave her papers to leave; the ambassador and his wife were leaving as well and accompanied Elena to Finland; as she was leaving she got a huge shock when Peters' assistant arrived with a huge bouquet of flowers and a note of apology for his not being able to see

As they reached the Finnish border they had to get out and walk as the bridge was destroyed; just short of the border Elena was stopped and said she couldn't leave; Elena began to panic but Mr Kristianson (the ambassador) gave the guard a hefty bribe and, with one last glimpse back at her adopted homeland,Elena left Russia forever; by the next day she was in Stockholm where Prince Schakovskoi (her brothers-in-law former ADC) was waiting to take her to her children; on the way he suddenly blurted out that her husband had been killed with the others which was the first Elena had heard this; her reunion with her children was strained as they barely recognized her but she saw in them her husband and their legacy

She went to Paris with the children where her brother Alexander was waiting to take her to Belgrade where she was reunited with her much-relieved father but settling permanently in Serbia was too painful of her as it reminded her of happier times so Alexander bought her a villa in the south of France where she recuperated before moving to England with her children who were educated there; she later returned to France where she died in Nice in 1962.
