The last days of the Romanovs… An exhibition of personal photographs taken by the French tutor of the five children of the last Russian Tsar opens in Moscow’s State Historical Museum on Red Square on September 8.
Perre Gilliard spent 13 years with the Imperial Family, tutoring the four daughters of Tsar Nicolas II: Olga, Tatyana, Maria and Anastasia. In 1913 he also became a tutor for the Tsar’s son Aleksey, who suffered from a rare blood disease.

For some reason, it so happened that Gilliard escaped death from the Bolsheviks and managed to save hundreds of photographs he took that feature the last years of life of the Romanov family. He secretly sent the pictures to France and then to Switzerland.
A selection of his works will be on public display until September 28.

Divers hunt for Baltic treasuresThe Baltic Sea region, once a battleground for great naval powers, has now turned into an archeologist's heaven. Swedish divers are fishing up gold, cannons and other precious artifacts from 500 years ago. |
The daughters were gang raped then executed and left in muddy hole, one survived her execution wound, and managed to crawl out of the grave and a ways before succumbing. Yeah, the Bolshevik "revolutionaires" were real "heros", celebrities like Bob Dylan and Woodey Allen who worship them make me want to puke.
Anna Anderson was a fraud.Genetic testing, done in the USA have confirmed it. In American hundreds of innocent people have been released from prison because of the DNA evidence. And ONE , ANNA ANDERSON was declared the lying fraud she was!! Also, now all the family has been found and confirmed by DNA testing. R.I.P. Family Romanov. Blessed Martyrs of the Blood. MEMORY ETERNAL.
