Does anyone have a photo of this palace belonging to Grand Duke Peter??  Does it still exist today?  If so, what is it's use?  This was the palace where part of the Romanov family was held by the Soviets, before their escape.

Has anyone read this book?  It has an interesting slant on the five women who ruled Russian after the death of Peter the Great.  I could see why the succession laws were changed with all of the intrigue that took place!!!

Maybe I have missed it but I haven't seen any discussion on the Yelagin Palace, even though there are pictures of it on the site.  What can anyone tell me about it?  Does it still exist and if so what's it use now?  Looks like a great place.
