It would seem the palace still has some secrets to reveal ... I always wondered why there appeared to be no toilet in Nicky's bathroom

I think the chief contributing factors to WWI was the alliance system that was set up in previous years as well as the personalities of ALL the leaders involved

A Wonderful addition to the museum... I was trying to follow the news story and admittedly my Russian is not that good... I was curious about the watch.... I thought the lady said it was a gift from the Empress to Gilliard but I could be wrong can you clarify??

I especially like that the Resurrection Egg has been possibly identified as the surprise for the Renaissance Egg.... On the site there is a picture of the two fiting perfectly together

The Alexander Palace / Re: In Tsarskoye Selo found a portrait of the Tsarevich Alexei!!!!!!!!

Restoring a painting is not an easy process but the experts at Tsarskoe Selo are the best. Remember they have restored war damaged painting to the point where it is hard to tell... the painting of Catherine the Great in the Peterhof throne room is a classic example. It was in shreds and they managed to put it back together. Restoring this painting would be a cake walk compared to that task.
