he's traitor!! he not born in russia! he born in spain! he's not full russian!!

What is your point?....the last Czar, HIM Nicholas II, had VERY little Russian blood flowing through his viens. According to the experts he was only 1/264 th. Russian.
He was mostly GERMAN in decent.
GD Maria Vladimirovna[mother of GD Georgi], according to most experts, has the best claim to the Romanov throne. What difference does it make where they were born. The Romanov House laws do not exclude the rightful hier just because he/she happened to be born outside of Russia. Get a grip on reality!

Rare photographs of the Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarevitch Aleksey.
Taken at Stavka (Army Headquarters) in Mogilev, there is an inscription in pencil (in Russian) on the back of photo saying "Stavka 1915".

I'm sorry, but I don't know the source, these photos were from my grandmother in Russia. She bought them a long time ago, but she doesn't know who took them. Besides they're copies of the originals.
I did some research and I think they may have been taken by T. Kon or D. Asikritov who were the main photographers to the Imperial Court.

Portrait of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna (wife of Nicholas II), taken in 1894 by T. Kon or D. Asikritov.

Inscription near the upper edge in ink: "Her Majesty Empress Alexandra Feodorovna". The upper edge is cut off, probably, to fit the frame. The photograph is bigger than the usual court portraits.

I have included the back of the postcard of the "Czar and Family". The writer talks about seeing the King of Spain driving into Kensington Palace in London, England!

Thanks Jil, they're great. Can you read what is written, I can't really written the scripture, something that the one who wrote it saw the King of Spain?

Here is what I can read from the postcard: (The message begins on the back and ends on the front of the postcard):

"Aleck to go too, but he can't come up for it. I do hope they will ask me to take someone in his stead!! You ought to have been here on Sunday "the bob" was in church. I went and had tea with them in the afternoon so you can imagine my joy!!! I saw the King of Spain this morning just as he was driving into Kensington Palace gates on the High Street. Sally was here on Saturday and seem quite sad that you weren't here. Certainly you made a deep impression. It has pelted with rain all day as well as yesterday. There is a doodie Band playing just now. Hope you will be able to read these. Best love, Y.L.C. Gladys. June 6th 1905."

Postmarked: June 7, 1905 from South Kensington, England.

*I am not sure what a "doodie Band" is but I think it might be a band that plays in front of the palace. I watched such a band play at Buckingham Palace in front of the guards.

Beautiful picture of the last Tsar. He was a powerful tsar but he lost everything, his trone and love from his people.
More pictures of the tsar Nicholas II. With his son, grand duke Alexei, with kosaks troops and a 1896 picture,The Coronation Day in Moscow.

Alix was really a beauty , as these pics show.
( a little like Lady Diana in the above pic ! )



In the French Rev... Marie Antoinette was made into a hate figure and it was used
by revolutionary forces to ridicule the Monarchy and incite the population.
This was often done with illegal printing presses printing what was virtually pornography
with Marie Antoinette playing a central role.

I read somewhere that similarly in the Russian Rev.. Alix became a hate figure
and was used by the Revolutionaries to stir up the populace.
