Dear Svetabel,
You did it again. Were did you get these pictures from?
Gr. Gerjo
The photo of Elena and her dolls is a cover of a new photoalbum just issued (in Russian). It's a rare photo-research of a woman's life in Russia in the end of the 19 cent- beginning of the 20 cent. A lof of text and many wonderful pictures from the State Archives as well as from the private collections.
I should say at once that there are no many photos of the Romanovs inside the book, some of them I had posted in various threads.
For those who are interested in Russian history (not only the Romanovs) and read Russian :
