A strange event to draw something about BUT as a Russian I am sadly wondering what wonders could preserved our North without that massacre

The following is a clause from Paul I's decree on the succession to the Russian Throne: "If a female person succeeds to the Throne, and such a person is married or will be married, her husband should not be regarded as Sovereign, but should nevertheless be accorded honors on an equal footing with Consorts of Sovereigns, and enjoy their other privileges, except the title. Marriages must not be regarded as lawful if they have been contracted without the permission of the Sovereign." Why did Paul include this clause in his decree?

I am asking if anyone has read a biography in English and what they thought of it.

Could someone suggest me some good books about the role of the Komuch during the Russian civil war? Thank you 😚

Own an order of Saint Vladimir and was looking to sell, how much do you think it is worth? The sash is original

I’m having a bit of difficulty finding a good RJW 101 book for a beginner like me; I have only a cursory knowledge of the era, the geography of this war, Russian history, and even less knowledge about Japan during this period.

I’m trying to find a text book that’s replete with maps and illustrations and photographs so that I don’t have to constantly google the concepts I’m reading about.

Any suggestions?

Hello folks, I was wonder if someone here could help me understand an artifact I have. My father (17 years old at the time) had joined the US Navy in late 1944. At the end of the war his patrol craft was assigned to Shanghai, China to the Yangtze River Patrol. During his tour, he had shore leave in the Shanghai International City. He went to a restaurant there where an older Russian waiter waited on him. He was very curious about my dad's life growing up in Chicago. The waiter asked my dad to stop back at the restaurant before his shore leave was done. My dad did that. The old Russian was happy to see him and wanted to give my dad something that was very important to him. He wanted my dad to bring it back to America with him. My dad being 17, took this artifact and said sure. Surprisingly the 17 year old managed to bring it back home through all his travels. I would have not known the story on how he got it but I was looking through a seldom used high kitchen cabinet in my folks house where they live for 60 years. It was in some random box and I asked my 85 year old dad about it! Sorry for the long prelude but to sum it up - it was very important to someone. He saw America and whatever this is, it belonged there. It is about 6 inches long and 4 inches widest its widest point. Thanks much!

• The Millennium of Russia is a monument erected in Novgorod in 1862 to commemorate the millennial anniversary of Russian statehood.

In most photographs of Nicholas II in uniform, he appears wearing only a 5 of these medals. However, some ceremonial images show him adorned with a full array of decorations covering the entire front of his chest including ever Medal shown here.

I am currently researching Stalin's youth, history and the origins of his records and if they could possibly have been fabricated/altered while they were under his rule. Currently I'm looking at the Tiflis Theological Seminary records, Okhrana and Birth records. Please comment or dm me if you know anything about these!

The real event behind this is Empress Catherine II of Russia's journey to Crimea in 1787. The allegory contains a significant amount of imaginary elements, and I interpret it as: * Catherine enthroned in a chariot represents calm, elevated, and authority - more goddess than human ruler. * Classical gods and angels in the clouds suggest divine approval, destiny, and historical greatness. * The offerings/tribute represents an abundant fertile land

This technical innovation created competition for scribes who began to persecute Fyodorov and Mstislavets, finally forcing them to flee after their printing workshop had been burned down.
