    terriblecalamitea:

    Here Tumblr, have some Alexander Palace :) 

    Recently got back from my second trip to Petersburg and have a buttload of photos. There are loads more of this place, including some cool pictures of rooms under restoration still if anyone is interested, which I’m doubting. 

    Sorry for some of the wonkiness. I’m a terrible photographer. 

    These are beautiful!

    a duchess in jewels: I know I sound like a broken record:

    But can we just get one thing straight?

    The Romanovs were a dynasty. Emperor, Empress, Grand Duke/Duchess, Prince/Princess.

    THAT is the level of hierarchy in the Imperial families.
    Yes, I get that it may seem not much of a difference between Grand Duke and Prince, but in Imperial Russia, there…

    This.

    … Yesterday I was in town. I had a sitting in the Winter Palace which was extremely dull. Maria was there with me. As she was present at the sitting for the first time, Neidhardt decided to address to her with words of greeting. Everybody stood up and bowed to her. She was so terrified that nearly got down under the table.
    — 

    Grand Duchess Tatiana of Russia to her father, Nicholas II. 2 November, 1915. (via historyofromanovs)

    So, does anyone have the full letter? If you do, please reblog/submit/ask a question with the text! Thank you!

    Please, reblog and let’s create a big Romanov info center!

    Hey there everyone, I know, I know, it’s been too long since I actually posted something real, but I have a good excuse. School. It’s terrible. So much work, you guys don’t even know. But I do have some good news, and here it is:

    I made some amazing pages. Like, amazing as in ama-to-the-zing.

    There’s the FAQ, full of Frequently Asked Questions!

    There’s the Useful Links page, full of useful links!

    And then there’s the Beginner’s Guide to NAOTMAA, a guide to get you started on learning about NAOTMAA.

    I’m going to be writing more on each page in a different post, and link them to here, so give me a minute, and I’ll do that for you! :)
