Khodynka Field

Hello,
Does anyone know the death toll of the officers present during the stampede was? Also does anyone know the regiments involved? I read that there were a few officers there to guard them, but it didn't specify which regiment.

thanks!

I should like to know if there is a monument or plaque or some other commemrative marker of this tragic event in Moscow today. I think the site of the field is now a sports complex. If anyone knows about this I would appreciate any information regarding it. This event set the stage for the reign of the emperor and I don't think he or Alexandra ever recovered from the bad impression it caused.

Hi James,

I remember seeing in one of the documentaries of Nicholas & Alexandra (it may be A&E or Discovery) a scene of a graveyard in Moscow with a memorial for the victims. I do not know the location and would have to view the film again to listen if the commentator identifies it.
