Alexandra's Religious Character
I just posted a new page on this topic on the
main menu of the site
. It's by Vladimir Gurko and very interesting, I think. I hope you enjoy it.
At the same time I posted another page from Gurko on Nicholas and ruling...

Re: Alexandra's Religious Character
A very interesting article. Orthodoxy was very closely woven into the life of the court, and it seems Alexandra (and Ella as well) were extremely devout. Were there any other such instances in the Imperial family?

Re: Alexandra's Religious Character
A picture of the Nesterov painting of the Annunciation which hung in the Mauve Room near the door to the bedroom. It was Alix's favorite painting (excluding paintings of her family) and went with them to Siberia. It returned to the Palace and was saved from the ravages of WWII. It's now at Pavlovsk.
The painting was given to Alix by Nicholas on their anniversary. She had admired it during their visit to an exbiition and Nicholas bought it for her.
I was lucky to get a copy made of this so I have my own little bit of the Mauve Room in Texas.... if anyone else wants one let me know and I'll tell you how to get one.

Re: Alexandra's Religious Character
Dear Bob,
The beautiful picture drawn by you has a lot of devotion in it. Am really curious, how come you got so interested in Romanovs and devoted so much of your time to start this great web site?
(Sorry if this question is not posted in the appropriate manner or place as am new to this chat forum).

Sunny,
There is an article about how Bob got interested in the Romanovs on the main Alexander Palace website. Here is a link to that article:
