As an American whose ancestors go way back, I've never been too fond of monarchies, but nonetheless, ever since I saw the movie "Nicholas and Alexandra" when I was about 17 (long ago now), it touched my heart and I've read much about them. I'm so glad there are so many photos and newsclips left documenting their lives.
There is a beautiful icon at 4:03 in this tribute to Grand Duchess Maria. I've seen two other icons in various versions, but I'd love to have a copy of this one if I could find out if and how I can order one, looked briefly at the Alexander Palace Time Machine.
There are a couple videos of Maria (can't remember) born in Spain, a survivor who has been working for the family to be "rehabilitated" by the Russian Supremes.
Thanks for posting. I find the Romanovs, and that whole era fascinating, and very tragic. It’s an age old human story, really; what lengths parents will go to save their precious child, like Alexei.
I pray they are at peace.
Wow that turned out long. LOL!
Anyways the importance of this court decision had to do with “relegitimatizing” House Romanov. It is the first step in any hope of Romanov restoration.
