Alexander III Russian Museum 1 Руски музей
The State Russian Museum (formerly the Russian Museum of His Imperial Majesty Alexander III) is the largest depository of Russian fine art in St Petersburg.
The museum was established on April 13, 1895, upon enthronement of Nicholas II to commemorate his father, Alexander III. Its original collection was composed of artworks taken from the Hermitage Museum, Alexander Palace, and the Imperial Academy of Arts. After the Russian Revolution of 1917, many private collections were nationalized and relocated to the Russian Museum. These included Kazimir Malevich's Black Square.
The main building of the museum is the Mikhailovsky Palace, a splendid Neoclassical residence of Grand Duke Michael Pavlovich, erected in 1819-25 to a design by Carlo Rossi on Square of Arts in St Petersburg. Upon the death of the Grand Duke the residence was named after his wife as the Palace of the Grand Duchess Elena Pavlovna, and became famous for its many theatrical presentations and balls.
Some of the halls of the palace retain the Italianate opulent interiors[1] of the former imperial residence. Other buildings assigned to the Russian museum include the Summer Palace of Peter I (1710--14), the Marble Palace of Count Orlov (1768--85), St Michael's Castle of Emperor Paul (1797-1801), and the Rastrelliesque Stroganov Palace on the Nevsky Prospekt (1752--54).The Ethnographic Department was originally set up in a building specially designed by Vladimir Svinyin in 1902[2]. The museum soon housed gifts received by Emperor's family from representatives of peoples inhabiting various regions of the Russian Empire. Further exhibits were purchased by Nicholas II and other members of his family as State financing was not enough to purchase new exhibits. In 1934, the Ethnographic Department was given the status of an independent museum: the Russian Museum of Ethnography.

Tsar Nicholas II's Winter Palace Armoire from M.S. Rau Antiques
30-6098 TSAR NICHOLAS II'S WINTER PALACE ARMOIRE
Towering just over eleven feet high, this magnificent ash armoire was specially created to reside in the Winter Palace, the residence of Tsar Nicholas II, the last known Russian Emperor. Masterfully crafted, the majestic piece took 26 years and a team of 14 artists and sculptors to complete, and no attention to detail was spared. Corinthian columns, stepped arches, elaborate turrets, and urns lavishly adorn the amazing architectural work, which is truly the finest example of the cabinetmaker’s art.
Nicholas II became Emperor in 1895, during a period of great political unrest. Prior to the Revolution of 1905, Nicholas moved his headquarters from the Winter Palace just south of St. Petersburg to Tsarskoye Selo, the summer home of the Tsars where he remained until the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution.
This armoire and a similar library cabinet eventually surfaced in the cargo of a freight-ship in Ghent, Belgium, in 1935. After the owner of the freight-ship passed away, both cabinets remained untouched until 1940 when they were seized by Ghent customs officials due to unpaid harbor charges. Created in 12 boxes, the two pieces were sold to a local cheese import/export firm who assembled the cabinets in a warehouse. The magnificent Russian cabinets were then publicly exhibited during World War II, drawing large crowds to see the “famous Russian cabinets.” Since the war, this cabinet has remained in the hands of private collectors, until now.
The Winter Palace, one-time residence of the tsars and now the home of the Hermitage, is the most famous building of Imperial St. Petersburg. The Hermitage was built in 1762 for Empress Catherine the Great to house her private collection and has since become, along with the Louvre, the world’s largest museum of art.

Exhibit In The Children's Rooms opens at Alexander Palace
Set out in the second floor of the Alexander Palace, in the rooms of the children of Nicholas II. Items included cover period from Nicholas I to Nicholas II.
You will see over 200 objects, many of them unique and displayed for the first time. Of particular interest are the authentic toys of the last tsar's children, including the grand duchesses' favourite French porcelain doll and Heir Tsesarevich Alexei's American Indian wigwam and pirogue.
Opens June 2 to September 11, 2011 at the Alexander Palace (2nd floor), 10.00-17.00 daily except Tuesdays and the last Wednesday of each month. Ticket price 100 rubles, reduced prices for students.
Game room was great, m 60. It fits the railway, lodge, canoe, toy St. Bernard, drums, and it is certainly not an exhaustive list.
Iraida Bott, Deputy Director of the State Museum Tsarskoe Selo in scientific work: Toys and presents from neighbors and distant relatives. Alexei's Grandmother Maria Feodorovna gave him for his birthday a donkey, and a children car.
Here is the crown prince on the photo next to his favorite donkey Vanka. The harness presented by the King Vittorio Emanuele. Massive, brilliant - see it here today at the Alexander Palace, among black and white photographs and colorful toys.
Emil Kapelyush, artist: The task was so to create a feeling as if a boy or a girl just came out into the corridor, and hear their voices. But it is rather felt at the level of sensation.
The story of those toys could hardly be more dramatic. When their owners are taken away, the toys remain. In 1931 the toys were given to different organizations, and, fortunately, most of them ended up in the museum of Zagorsk. What remained of the ceremonial uniforms of the Tsarevich and Grand Duchesses, too, is almost a miracle.
Olga Taratynova, director of the State Museum Tsarskoe Selo: It happened that during the evacuation of the collection of the Alexander Palace in 1941, the items lacked the wrapping material. And things who went to the evacuation, should be packed. And began to turn in their uniforms.
The watercolors show the playing room, the bedrooms of the grand duchesses, not at all similar to the palace chambers, wigwam in the middle of playing room, a toy booth guard and a host of priceless museum staff for details.
So a lot of toys, which were in the Alexander Palace, do not mean that the children mainly played. Quite the contrary: most of the time paid tuition and various other matters.
Miraculously survived the year 1916-1917 schedule. Here we see that classes begin at 9 am and end only at 8 pm. This two breaks for lunch and a walk. Petrov signed a secret adviser.
Alexandra Feodorovna never loved her children lazy. At least, it concerned daughters. Tsarevich allowed anymore, and he's probably - the protagonist of this exhibition. Who left their toys, and he remained only in photographs: a uniform, zalomlennoy cap zhmuryaschiysya, though the bright sun in the garden of the Alexander Palace.

Падение династии Романовых 1927 / The Fall of the Romanov Dynasty
Падение династии Романовых / The Fall of the Romanov Dynasty
Режиссер - Эсфирь Шуб
Премьера - 11 марта 1927
Жанр - Документальный, исторический, кинохроника
Сценарий - Эсфирь Шуб
Консультант - Марк Цейтлин
Производство - Совкино, Музей Революции
Падение династии Романовых (1927) - немой документальный фильм советского режиссёра Эсфирь Шуб о величайших и одновременно трагических событиях в истории России начала XX века. Фильм выпущен к десятилетию Февральской революции. Рабочее название фильма было «Февраль», но в историю мирового кино он вошёл как «Падение династии Романовых».
Фильм полностью смонтирован из материалов дворцового киноархива Николая II, и дореволюционной кинохроники, которую Эсфирь Шуб собрала в различных киноархивах. Критики говорили, что это лишь «перелистывание кинодокументов», но сама Шуб сравнивала свою работу с работой инженера, создающего новую машину из уже существующих деталей. Архивные кадры этой картины впервые в истории мирового кино были не просто склеены в последовательном порядке. Они были сопоставлены, смонтированы, скреплены единой мыслью художника. Фильм положил начало новому направлению в советской документальной кинематографии - документально-историческому кино.
Советская критика считала кадры дворцовой хроники комическими и самопародийными. Сегодня эти эпизоды воспринимаются совсем иначе…

В конце лета 1926 года Эсфирь Шуб едет в Ленинград и с огромным трудом разыскивает киноархив Николая II. Шестьдесят тысяч метров плёнки за два месяца просмотрела она, пять тысяч выбрала для фильма. Готовая картина в семи частях имела тысячу семьсот метров. Директор студии (вероятно, речь идёт о Илье Трайнине) сам дал название новому фильму «Падение династии Романовых» и сам же придумал большой плакат для рекламы: двуглавый орёл, накрест зачеркнутый двумя толстыми красными линиями.
Фильм, смонтированный только из хроникальных кадров, нёс в себе огромный эмоциональный накал, он стал началом мифологической летописи о Великом Государстве и имел колоссальный успех у зрителей не только в стране, но и далеко за её пределами. Эсфирь Шуб создала невиданный доселе в мировом кино жанр - документально-исторический.
Воспоминания:
В Ленинграде мне очень помог старый работник хроники товарищ Хмельницкий. Однажды он принёс мне стопку коробок. Это старая царская контрреволюционная хроника, сказал он, не знаю, пригодится ли она вам. Таких коробок у нас много…
Мной был снят целый ряд исторических документов, газет, вещей и проделана лабораторная обработка целого ряда кадров. Совкино приняло все меры, чтобы хроника, которая была снята Скобелевским комитетом и Всероссийским фотокиноотделом и продана в Америку, была закуплена и возвращена обратно. Фильм был готов вовремя, к десятилетию Февральской революции.
И вот наступили для меня решающие дни. По Москве расклеены огромные плакаты, в газетах появляется реклама: «Падение династии Романовых; Работа Э. И. Шуб. С 11 марта во всех больших кинотеатрах Москвы». У касс стоят очереди. Фильм нравился. Я чувствовала глубокое удовлетворение.

The Life And Death Of Nicholas I of Russia
Nicholas I (Николай I Павлович, r Nikolai I Pavlovich; 6 July [O.S. 25 June] 1796 – 2 March [O.S. 18 February] 1855) was the Emperor of Russia from 1825 until 1855. He was also the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Finland. He is best known as a political conservative whose reign was marked by geographical expansion, repression of dissent, economic stagnation, poor administrative policies, a corrupt bureaucracy, and frequent wars that culminated in Russia's disastrous defeat in the Crimean War of 1853-56. His biographer Nicholas Riasanovsky says that Nicholas displayed determination, singleness of purpose, and an iron will, along with a powerful sense of duty and a dedication to very hard work. He saw himself as a soldier – a junior officer totally consumed by spit and polish. A handsome man, he was highly nervous and aggressive. Trained as an engineer, he was a stickler for minute detail. His reign had an ideology called Official Nationality that was proclaimed officially in 1833. It was a reactionary policy based on orthodoxy in religion, autocracy in government, and Russian nationalism.
He was the younger brother of his predecessor, Alexander I. Nicholas inherited his brother's throne despite the failed Decembrist revolt against him and went on to become the most reactionary of all Russian leaders. His aggressive foreign policy involved many expensive wars, having a disastrous effect on the empire's finances.
He was successful against Russia's neighbouring southern rivals as he seized the last territories in the Caucasus held by Persia (comprising modern day Armenia and Azerbaijan) by successfully ending the Russo-Persian War (1826-1828). By now, Russia had gained what is now Dagestan, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia from Persia, and had therefore at last gained the clear upper hand in the Caucasus, both geo-politically as well as territorially. He ended the Russo-Turkish War (1828-1829) successfully as well. Later on, however, he led Russia into the Crimean War (1853–56) with disastrous results. Historians emphasize that his micromanagement of the armies hindered his generals, as did his misguided strategy. Fuller notes that historians have frequently concluded that the reign of Nicholas I was a catastrophic failure in both domestic and foreign policy. On the eve of his death, the Russian Empire reached its geographical zenith, spanning over 20 million square kilometers (7.7 million square miles), but in desperate need of reform.
Nicholas was born in Gatchina to Emperor Paul I and Empress Maria Feodorovna. He was a brother of Alexander I of Russia and of Grand Duke Constantine Pavlovich of Russia.
Nicholas was not brought up to become the Emperor of Russia; he had two elder brothers. In 1825, when Alexander I died suddenly of typhus, Nicholas was caught between swearing allegiance to his second-eldest brother, Constantine Pavlovich, and accepting the throne for himself. The interregnum lasted until Constantine Pavlovich, who was in Warsaw at that time, confirmed his refusal. Additionally, on 25 (13 Old Style) December, Nicholas issued the manifesto proclaiming his accession to the throne. That manifesto retroactively named 1 December (19 November Old Style), the date of Alexander I's death, as the beginning of his reign. During this confusion, a plot was hatched by some members of the military to overthrow Nicholas and to seize power. This led to the Decembrist Revolt on 26 (14 Old Style) December 1825, an uprising Nicholas was successful in quickly suppressing.
Emperor and principles
Nicholas completely lacked his brother's spiritual and intellectual breadth; he saw his role simply as that of a paternal autocrat ruling his people by whatever means necessary. Nicholas I began his reign on 14 December 1825, which fell on a Monday; Russian superstition held that Mondays were unlucky days. This particular Monday dawned very cold, with temperatures of −8 degrees Celsius. This was regarded by the Russian people as a bad omen for the coming reign. The accession of Nicholas I was marred by a demonstration of 3,000 young Imperial Army officers and other liberal-minded citizens. This demonstration was an attempt to force the government to accept a constitution and a representative form of government. Nicolas ordered the army out to smash the demonstration. The uprising was quickly put down and became known as the Decembrist Revolt. Having experienced the trauma of the Decembrist Revolt on the very first day of his reign, Nicholas I was determined to restrain Russian society. The Third Section of the Imperial Chancellery ran a huge network of spies and informers with the help of Gendarmes. The government exercised censorship and other forms of control over education, publishing, and all manifestations of public life.
Russian Empresses: Fashion and Style
An exhibition for the 400th anniversary of the Romanovs' House will unfold two captivating subjects: fashion and style of the Russian empresses.
Fashion is due to the fact that fashion and the woman are inseparable, whereas style reflects a person's character and tastes.
The exposition hinges on seven Russian empresses' life limited to palace apartments (late 18th -- early 20th centuries). Finery, accessories, and jewelry of the wives and mothers of Russian emperors astounded with their refinement and luxury and were a part of the image of the Russian power.
Visitors will see dresses from collections of the Hermitage Museum and the Gatchina Memorial Estate, as well as paintings, engravings, porcelain and jewelry, diaries, letters, drawings, photos and books.
The exhibition Russian Empresses: Fashion and Style. Late 18th -- early 20th centuries will be held in the Showroom of the Federal Archives from April 4 to June 13.
