Yalta commemorates Romanov family








On April 11, a memorial event was dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the forced emigration of members of the Imperial family took place on the embankment of Yalta near the stele Romanov. Employees of the Livadia Palace Museum, students of the cadet class of school number 11, residents and guests of the city took part in the action. All who wished laid flowers to the Romanov stela. Before the start of the Civil War, the House of Romanov had more than 60 people. 19 people were killed by the Bolsheviks: Emperor Nicholas II with his family, his brother the Great Prince Mikhail Alexandrovich, Sister of the Empress Elizabeth Feodorovna and many others. Only those Romanovs, who at that time were abroad and in the South of Russia, were saved. Since March 1917, Empress Maria Fyodorovna with daughters Xenia and Olga, the Great Princes Nikolai Nikolaevich and Peter Nikolaevich with their families were in the Crimean estates. In April 1919, the situation deteriorated sharply and the question of rescuing members of the royal family arose. The Empress did not want to leave Russia, however, in order to survive, the members of the Romanov family had to emigrate.
