A new monument dedicated to the Royal Martyrs Nicholas and Alexandra was ceremoniously opened in Crimea last month.

The new sculpture in Seaside Park in the city of Alushta depicts a meeting of the young Tsarevich Nicholas and his fiancée Princess Alix of Hesse-Darmstadt and by Rhine. The event was honored by the presence of Grand Duke George Mikhailovich, the heir apparent to Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna, the head of the Imperial Family of Russia, reports the charitable website Good People.

The monument consists of four sculptures altogether: the young Tsarevich Nicholas II, Princess Alix, and Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich, the uncle of Tsarevich Nicholas, and his wife Elizabeth Feodorovna, Princess Alix’s older sister and the future nun and martyr, who accompanied the young couple on their visit.

“On October 10, 1894, the young engaged couple met here in Alushta: Princess Alix of Hesse—the future great martyr, all-Russian Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, and the Tsarevich Nicholas Alexandrovich—the future tsar, martyr, and passion-bearer Nicholas II,” explained Konstantin Malofeev, the chairman of the Double-Headed Eagle Society for the Development of Russian Historical Education, at the opening ceremony.

“They were young then, with a happy life together ahead of them. This couple became a symbol of loyalty, a symbol of large, pious families, and a symbol of service to their state and their people,” he said, honoring the Royal Martyrs.

The Russians respect their history. They are proud to be Russian.

Democrats are trying to pull a Bolshevik disco dance.

Interesting. And yes, they do respect their history. As I respect ours.

You ain't lyin!

Between 1905 and 1918 the Russian people were devastated by the Spanish flu.

This flu was exploited to keep people away from others to prevent the spread; the populace was frightened, weary, and fearful.

Further fragmenting their society, were ‘peaceful protests’ conducted in cities and townships across the nation, causing more fear and destruction.

It was in 1917 that the Bolsheviks took control of Russia in a coup that outsted Tsar Nicolas, then saw him and his family executed.

It is 2020, and America is in the throes of a Bolshevik Revolution.

What??? The Spanish flu was first detected in 1918 in the United States.

A better statement is that it cut a swath across Russia from 1917-1918. TBH, they, and the world was coming off of a number of pandemics. The assiatic flu and Cholera between 1900 and 1920. The point being that these horrible sicknesses were exploited to divide the populace, and make it fearful. Coupled with “peaceful protests” across the nation, set the stage for a revolution.
