Rulers Prior to Nicholas II / Re: Tzar Ivan V and his family
« on: October 21, 2013, 06:45:09 PM »
Does anyone know where I could find a free copy of this book:
Five Empresses: Court Life in Eighteenth-century Russia Anisimov, Evgenii V./ Ca
On the internet or does some one have a copy of the book who would be willing to scan a few pages for me?

OK, ive read a few sources and have found conflicting results. Some sources say Tsarevna Praskovia Ivanovna had a son and others say she didn't. Anyone know the truth?

Rulers Prior to Nicholas II / Ivan V's Offspring.
« on: October 21, 2013, 12:39:31 AM »
I am trying to construct a Romanov Family tree from the first Romanov Tsar right through to todays generation listing as many descendants as possible. I am stuck with three of Ivan V's daughters and was hoping to get some help with the following:
#Tsarevna Maria Ivanovna: when was she born and when did she die? Did she get married and to whom? What was his name, when was he born and when did he die? Did they have any children?
#Tsarevna Feodosia Ivanovna: when was she born and when did she die? Did she get married and to whom? What was his name, when was he born and when did he die? Did they have any children?
#Tsarevna Praskovia Ivanovna: was born in 1694 and died in 1731. She was married to Ivan Dmitriev-Mamonov who interestingly was of Rurikid descent. He was born in 1680 and died in 1730. Did they have any children?

News Links / Re: Growth of tourism in St Petersburg halted

Very interesting. I think that while there may still be security issues in Russia, the biggest issue as far as the tourist industry is concerned is the outside worlds perception of Russia. a lot of people i speak to about Russia have maintained the negative stereotypical view of russia from the soviet era. it is a misconception i always get joy from correcting and talking to people about the beauty of Russia.

Okie dokie, darius im not sure if your still hunting for info on this but i found this at the website below it:
"Provisional Committee
On February 27 (March 12), 1917, the Duma is called into session on the appeals of Councillor of State Rodzianko, who is desperately trying to save the Empire despite the extraordinary momentum of the February Revolution. At 4pm the Duma resolves to create the Provisional Committee of the State Duma. Its members are among the biggest landowners and most wealthy capitalists in Russia:
M.V. Rodzianko (Octobrist); V.V. Shulgin; V.N. Lvov; I.I. Dmitryukov (Octobrist); S.I. Shidlovsky (Octobrist); M.A. Karaulov; A.F. Kerensky (Labour Party); A.I. Konovalav (Progressive); V.A. Rzhevsky (Progressive); A.A. Bublikov (Progressive); P.N. Milyukov (Cadet); N.V. Nekrasov (Cadet); and N.S. Chkheidze (Menshevik).
The Committee discusses whether they should assume power over the country, filling up the vacuum caused by the revolution and the Tsar's ineptitude. The Committee denies the move, and resolves that it must somewhow save the Tsar. The Committee resolves that the only path towards this is to share power between Tsar and a new Prime Minister. The despondent Tsar refuses this offer. The Committee then asks his brother Mikhail to assume the thrown, who also refuses.
On the following day, left without any other option, the Committee assumes power over the government. Along with the Petrograd Soviet, the Committee creates a new Provisional Government."

i find Peter I fascinating, to have pushed through the adversities and horrors of his youth and to achieve the goals he did. he is nothing short of inspirational
