An icon of the Holy Royal Passion Bearers who were butchered by the Communists. They are commemorated as saints by the Russian Orthodox Church (more for the circumstances of their deaths and their heroic Christian witness than any political statement).

Curious how Putin plans to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution.

This family was so beautiful. Such a tragic story, and that country and the world is still suffering from the Bolshevik’s and their damage.
