It is very beautiful! Another website had this to say about Ramon' and the Oldenburgs:
http://www.vor.ru/outside/cities28_eng.html
"They moved to Ramon in the late 1870s when Emperor Alexander II presented the couple with an estate in the picturesque area. There the prince and princess of Oldenburg built a castle in the Old English style. They introduced a number of innovations in Ramon such as a small zoo, a railway running as far as the Voronezh-Moscow highway, a clinic, a school and a sweets-making factory that made Ramon famous all over Europe by winning a lot of prizes at international exhibitions. In Petersburg the couple founded paramedics courses for women ad an institute of experimental medicine. On the Black Sea, in the city of Gagry, they financed the construction of a sanatorium and a weather station. Their attention to medicine was understandable: Princess Eugenia and her son Peter suffered from haemophilia."
I never read anything before about Peter having hemophilia???

Petr or his mother were not haemophiliacs.This is a perfect nonsense. An author of such revelations heard the song but got it wrong. Actually Princess Eugenia sometimes suffered from bleeding/hemorrhage but not of haemophilia.

I thought it sounded odd. Thanks for confirming my suspicions!
