BORN ON THIS DAY:

Alexei Nikolaevich (12 August [O.S. 30 July] 1904 – 17 July 1918) was the last Tsesarevich (heir apparent to the throne of the Russian Empire).

He was the youngest child and only son of Emperor Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra Feodorovna.

He was born with haemophilia — inherited from his mother Alexandra, an X chromosome hereditary condition that typically affects males, which she had acquired through the line of her maternal grandmother, Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom.

It was known as the "Royal Disease" because so many descendants of the intermarried European royal families had it (or carried it, in the case of females).

In 2009, genetic analysis determined that Alexei had hemophilia B.

Photographic views of the apartments of the Governor's Mansion in Mogilev - Stavka, or GHQ (General Headquarters) during the Great War - when His Majesty, Tsar Nicholas II was in residence. Spartan at first, the Emperor made use of what he was given. The first two photographs show the state rooms where social functions were held. The Reception Hall was not only used for functions but also for showing moving pictures - as evidenced by the screen infront of the corner firestove. The second photograph depicts the State Dining-Room where His Majesty would entertain visiting officials, and the like. What furniture that you see in the photographs such as his working-study (third, first row) and his more private apartment - the bed-room had furniture from around the mansion brought in. The camp-bed naturally travelled with His Majesty where ever he went. The second photograph, second row shows a corner of the bed-room where the Tsar's dressing-table can be seen, and then the last photograph shows the Tsesarevich Alexei's own camp-bed next to his father's. Alexei's camp-bed specifically came from Tsarskoe Selo and would travel back home with him when he would return. These photographic views, which are illustration plates come from the publication entitled: "Его Императорское Величество государь император Николай Александрович в действующей армии." "His Imperial Majesty Sovereign Emperor Nikolai Alexandrovich in the army." Edited by Dmitry N. Dubensky, and published in 1916, this, like many other war-time publications featured stories and articles about the war effort, and photographs and illustrations of the Tsar and Tsesarevich, as well as, other members of the Imperial Family - used to boost morale of the men who were fighting on the front lines. It is an interesting glimpse into the world of Russia during this period - the Great War. ______________________________ Photographs: 1. Reception Hall at Mogilev, Stavka. 2.

GODPARENTS OF TSESAREVICH NICHOLAS ALEXANDROVICH

Tsesarevich Nicholas Alexandrovich was born as Grand Duke of Russia during the reign of his formidable grandfather Emperor Nicholas I on 20th September 1843. He was the eldest son and second child born to Emperor Alexander II (then Tsesarevich) and his wife Empress Maria Alexandrovna. He was christened in the Grand Palace Church, Tsarskoe Selo, by the Confessor of His Imperial Majesty. He had four known godparents as listed:

NICHOLAS I, EMPEROR OF RUSSIA - his paternal grandfather and namesake was one of his godparents present at his christening. Mainly remembered in history as a reactionary whose controversial reign was marked by geographical expansion, centralisation of administrative policies and repression of dissent. He died in 1855, when the younger Nicholas was only 11 years-old, and thus making him the heir apparent (Tsesarevich).

LOUIS II, GRAND DUKE OF HESSE AND BY RHINE - his maternal grandfather was another of his godparents, but was absent at the christening. The hessian grand duke, like his paternal grandfather, was also considered a reactionary leader, he was in conflict with parliament almost his entire reign. The German revolution in 1848-49 proved his inability to govern. On March 5, 1848 he named his son Louis III as co-regent, and a year later he died.

GRAND DUCHESS ANNA PAVLOVNA OF RUSSIA, QUEEN CONSORT OF THE NETHERLANDS - his great-aunt was the third listed as godparent of the young grand duke, but was also absent at the christening. Queen Anna, the favourite sister of Emperor Nicholas I of Russia and the consort of King William II of the Netherlands, was a Russian patriot who upheld a strict royal etiquette in the Netherlands, where she never felt at home, and identified more as an Imperial Grand Duchess than a Dutch queen. She had no political influence, but was active within charity.

GRAND DUCHESS OLGA NIKOLAEVNA OF RUSSIA, QUEEN CONSORT OF WÜRTTEMBERG - his aunt was one of his godparents present at the christening. She was the younger sister of his father. Attractive, cultured and intelligent, she was considered to be one of the most eligible princesses in Europe. Just three years after her nephew was born, in 1846, she married Crown Prince Karl of Württemberg. Nicholas died just two months before seeing his aunt Queen consort of Württemberg.

as much as he hated to admit it, the gala wasn't such a terrible idea. of course, he would never say that out loud, adam would never let him hear the end of it. or, even worse, he'd want to throw another one. and vasily can only handle too many events in a month's time. but he did enjoy them when they occurred. it even especially nice that adam did all of the actual hosting, leaving vasily to do whatever. he just wasn't allowed to run away, like he so desired. unlike most balls, vasily didn't fight him. he stayed and danced and he... quite enjoyed himself. which surprised even himself.

" i can thank you later, hmm? however shall i do that? " he gives him an innocent look, tilting his head to the side. he doesn't wait for a response as he grab the champagne glass from him, chuckling as his husbands takes a sip first. " did i save a dance for you? " he hums lightly, taking a sip from the glass. " he finishes the glass, putting it on the table next to them. " i suppose i could find the energy for another dance. i would hate to make my husband feel left out. " he grabs adam's hand, kissing it, before leading him to the dancefloor.

@tsareviich said : ❝ the ball is quite nice. i haven’t danced in so long. ❞

the  words  have  a  smile  tugging  at  the  prince’s  lips,  despite  his  best  efforts  to  remain  impassive.  he  had  been  hoping  the  gala  would  be  to  vasily’s  liking,  so  the  confirmation  that  the  other  prince  is  enjoying  himself?  a  relief,  even  if  he  doesn’t  care  to  admit  it.  after  all,  the  other  had  complained  in  the  beginning  when  adam  had  told  him  of  his  plans  to  throw  a  ball  ;  no  occasion  necessary,  just  one  for  the  hell  of  it.  and  now,  here  he  is,  admitting  to  his  enjoyment  of  the  evening.  a  job  well  done,  if  adam  does  say  so  himself.

“  and,  now,  you’ve  had  a  night  full  of  it  —  you  can  thank  me  later.  ”  of  course,  when  adam  wasn’t  mingling  with  the  other  guests  and  imbibing  at  the  drink  table,  he’s  been  watching  him.  it  is  a  bit  of  a  game,  after  all,  waiting  to  see  which  of  them  will  make  the  first  move  —  and  it  seems  that  tonight,  that  honor  is  up  to  adam.  “  tell  me  something  though,  ”  he  begins,  taking  a  sip  of  the  champagne  glass  in  his  hand  and  then  offering  it  to  vasily.  “  did  you  save  a  dance  for  me,  your  highness?  ”  a  brow  raises,  expression  twisting  into  one  of  carefully  crafted  innocence.  “  you  know  how  i  hate  being  left  out,  darling.  ”

@w4ntd : ” can we please just talk?”

he so desperately wants to slam the door in his face but he knows they won't do anything. he could hear his father's voice in his head calling him 'stupid and reckless.' he should have known better than to risk hooking up with the stranger at the tavern. he supposes he should be lucky to only went... kind of bad. it could have went a lot worse. vasily could have ended up dead. but-- is this any better? he's here to be crating an alliance with the dark kingdom and instead he's accidently sleeping with the prince of the kingdom instead. maybe his father's words are correct -- he is stupid and reckless.

" of course, your highness. please do come in. " he opens the door wider for him, letting the other prince into his room. he waits until he's inside before turning to eugene with a polite expression. " i do apologize for my behavior this evening. i shall give my proper apologies to the king in the morning. i was not expecting to see you after our... earlier meeting and i was taken aback. "
