The Final Chapter / Crime of the Century

« Last post by Andrei Beanov on June 01, 2023, 10:29:36 PM »

for anyone interested , there is a new investigative book available which was released in about 2020 called " The Crime of the Century " , in Russian only , over 500pages long , which
in my opinion is the new Definitive Standard of the final time of the Romanovs. Contains much technical information and previous unseen photos.
Also has the best quality Sokolov dossier photos I've ever seen - the 'missing' dossiers and original photos must be back in Russia now...........worth checking out.

Hello Inok,

I realize this thread is quite old, but since the restoration of the forum this was pinged to me as a thread that I had not yet read, and I wanted to follow up and see if the publication has since happened, or is planned?

Ahhhhh welcome back! I am seeing this thread for the first time and am also hoping to see something come of it.

The Alexander Palace / Obscure AP room photos over the decades?

« Last post by EmHarms on May 13, 2023, 07:42:07 PM »

I'm searching for any photos taken of the servants' rooms on the children's floor - specifically Derevenko's and Nagorny's. Probably no photos exist, but if anyone knows of something, I would be grateful.

Servants, Friends and Retainers / Re: Nagorny - Looking for photos & any material

« Last post by EmHarms on May 13, 2023, 07:18:16 PM »

I think this entire Forum has died since Covid......................... Ive never seen his letters , but there are many public photos on web.

I hold out hope it can rise again.  Maybe the format is a little obsolete for the 2020's, but I have yet to discover any social media sites that offer the same wide variety that APF does, not to mention the sentimental value it undoubtedly has for many of us

I absolutely agree. Some of these old threads hold obscure photos that have since passed into private collections.
