Thank you for turning those parts of the documentary to pictures!

[Bryndis]

Just a few more







sad isn't it?

[Ally Kumari]

I believe haunting and somehow strange are the words.... But sad also, yes.

6. Not sure

In Moscow(I think), I believe in 1912.  . Thank you so much for posting those, Bryndis! And welcome at APTM. 
The first one(in your last post) is 'America' hotel at Ekaterinburg.

[Bryndis]

Thank you very much!
I've been interested in the Romanovs for years and I have visited this forum a lot! Finally I have decided to become a member :>
And thanks for the info!

Welcome, Bryndis! And thank you for those excellent screencaps. I'm not sure I've seen that documentary yet. Which one is it from on Laura's site?

[nena]

I think it is 'Nicholas & Alexandra - A&E Home Video'

 Assuming that's the Hotel Amerika in Bryndis' photo, it is, or was, much , much larger and impressive than I had pictured it previously, which was as a small, nondescript single-story hotel. I'm not sure what that suggests about the Bolsheviks' meeting there , but it somehow seems different.

  Sorry. That's my reply in the last two lines of previous quote.

"The guard was controled by a sinister group of men stationed at the American hotel near the Ipatiev House"
It is indeed the Amerika hotel...hehe sorry I should have added some details

Yeah these screencaps are from Nicholas and Alexandra and Last of the Tsars.

Royal Russia has an article on the restoration of the Ropsha Palace. It includes a photo of Alexandra and her daughters standing on the steps of Ropsha alongside a current photo of the same spot.

The way the place has been left to ruin makes me very sad.

Nemos posted these, and I thought they'd make a good addition to the thread. It sounds like they are of a gate somewhere in the Alexander Park.

I know this is an old thread which has been brought up, but I love seeing things like this, so thank you all for posting!
