Tercentenary of the Romanov Dynasty's Accession (Tryokhsotletie tsarstvovaniya doma Romanovykh) is the silent russian movie released on the 16th February 1913. It is was made to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the reign of the Romanov dynasty. Here is the description from imdb.com (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0207169/):

Very loyal, respectful survey of 300 years of Russian history, from the "Time of Troubles" (Polish invasion) in 1613 to the 300th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty in 1913.The coronation of the first Romanov, Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov (played by young Michael Chekhov) is an early highlight, after the Russian defenders finally beat off the Polish invaders. (Co-director Larin & several actors were injured in the battle scenes.) Film concludes with celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Russian victory in the War of 1812. Also included is documentary footage of the coronation of the last Romanov, Nicholas II, in 1896. Written by Prof Steven P Hill, Russian & Cinema, University of Illinois.

I was able to find only fragments of this film on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_jPFDDqJTU.
It contains only 10 minutes of the movie. Runtime should be 44 minutes. Do you know if there is somewhere full copy of this movie?
