Thanks for that, a lovely clear picture. Oh if only Georgi (brother of Nicholas) had not got sick. Might have had a different historical outcome.

Grand Duke Georgi could have possibly continued to have been the heir to Tsarevich Alexis instead of Grand Duke Michael. I picture Georgi marrying a lovely royal German princess who was well-bred.

"Alexander III was the epitome of what a Russian Tsar was supposed to be. Forceful, formidable, fiercely patriotic. He was the embodiment of the fabled Russian bear. He came to power at a critical point in Imperial Russian history. The Industrial Revolution had finally come to Russia and capitalism was taking root. Foreign investment within the country was at an all-time high."

Interesting and balanced video on youtube (~ 10 min).

Have the letters between Dagmar and her first fiance Nixa ever been translated?
