I thought this was a very touching photo showing the relationship between the three siblings as children

Thanks for posing that photo.  I never realized that Serge and Paul looked that much alike, based on photos of them older.  It's sad thinking about the ends of their lives, one killed by a bombing and the other executed, while in ill health by the Bolsheviks.  They were both born into a family, did what they thought was right and ended up being murdered.

The Romanovs earlier lived a great life, but these poor guys got screwed.

JMHO,

I think the seperation of their parents and their deaths scarred them.

Has anybody noticed the resemblance between Sergei and the Irish rebel Roger Casement?

Admittedly, this is a half-profile picture of Casement - the resemblance is more obvious full-face.

I like this one, i dont know, he looks so "dark"



Its increidble how he changed thru the years. When he was young he had very "sweet" and  armonious features and getting older he became ...creepy!

He became untra-religious and control freak (on Ella). The death of his father haunted him all though his life and believing he will die young and violently (he was correct in that prediction). That is why he had that haunted look...Sad.

Here's a link to some material from the BBC History website about Casement, with full-face picture.

No, Eric, I'm just giving you an opportunity to consider whether Serge and Casement looked similar.

Thanks Ann, they do not. But both were rumoured to be gay though.
