If memory serves me, it was Ksenya to whom, upon her marriage, Alexander III offered the Mikhailovsky palace to live in. Of course, Ksenya said that palace was too big, and indeed it is really huge. I wonder if Sandro shared his wife´s opinion...

Mike,
Thanks so much for the pictures from the street showing the fence.  Now I know this area must have been completely covered by fencing or construction screens as I never saw anything like this when I was in St. Petersburg.  I was following a guidebook and would not have missed such a beautiful palace if it was viewable.
Well, this is the great adavantage of this board: we get to see places that we have missed or will never get to see.
Thanks so much.
Bob

For those interested in that enigmatic EIST:
The site http://www.statedevelopment.spb.ru/, which contains photos of almost all buildings in Petersburg’s historical center, is notoriously user-unfriendly and requires patience, skill and knowledge of the city’s topography to actually find something. I’ve even compiled a concise Russian “EIST survival guide” and posted the link here about a year ago. Here it's again: http://erastimes.8m.net/eist_tutorial.htm

Zhelayu uspekha! [=good luck!]

Antonio--
Yes, it is very true that the Tsar had offered his daughter, Ksenia, the other palace, and she had thought it too large for her taste. Whether or not Sandro agreed I'm not sure, but I don't think it mattered much to him at all, whether or not the palace was large or 'small'.

It seems several of the pictures in Romanov Fragments de Vie (my source) were mismarked. Thank you for the corrections. :)

Do you think Sandro and Xenia's place in St. Peterburg will ever be restored?  Is it possible that an ordinary resident would be able to purchase it for private use?

It is being owned by kinesiology University right now. I don't think that this palace will be privatized in a near future, because there are much more attractive ones on the English Embankment, for instance.

Hopefully the palace will be restored by the government soon. The restoration budget is 10 times larger that before The tricentennial. For instance there is a Grand Duke Alexader's palace not far away from this one, which is in a process of an active restoration since last summer.
