WHERE RUSSIA'S ROYAL FAMILY WAS MURDERED | Yekaterinburg, Russia
Whether it's the story of Anastasia, many have heard about the tragic history of the Russian Royal Family, but few know how or where it actually happened. Yekaterinburg is a city in the middle of Russia and rarely visited by the average tourist. Strangely enough it actually has a lot to offer and I hope that after watching this video you will be more inclined to see it for yourself!

Коронация Государя Императора Николая II Александровича 1896 / Coronation of Tsar Nicholas II
Дата съёмки – 21 - 26 мая (9 - 14 мая по старому стилю) 1896
Премьера - 6 июля (24 июня по старому стилю) 1896
Жанр - Документальный, кинохроника
Оператор - Камилл Серф
Коронация Государя Императора Николая II Александровича (1896) - единственным кто производил документальную съёмку на коронации, был французский журналист и кинооператор Камилл Серф. Он родился в 1862 году в Арлоне, работал в нескольких газетах, в том числе «Le Figaro». Был личным секретарем Жоржа Клемансо. Также участвовал в организации нескольких французских киностудий, включая компанию Pathé.
В 1895 году по заданию братьев Люмьер Камилл Серф поехал в командировку, чтобы провести документальные съёмки в нескольких странах на условиях получения 50 % от продажи копий снятых им фильмов. Среди сделанных им съёмок особое значение в истории кино имеет документальная хроника коронации Николая II. Этот фильм впервые демонстрировался в Париже 24 июня (6 июля) 1896 года, а затем был показан в Санкт-Петербурге.
Церемония коронации:
Коронация императора Николая II Александровича и его супруги Александры Фёдоровны состоялась во вторник 14 (26) мая 1896 года в Успенском соборе Московского Кремля.
- 6 мая (день рождения Николая II) император и императрица прибыли на Смоленский вокзал Москвы, где были встречены членами императорской семьи, сановниками и чиновниками империи и толпами народа. Генерал-губернатор Москвы родной дядя императора великий князь Сергей Александрович, прибыл вместе с четой, так как он встретил императора и императрицу на станции Клин. С вокзала императорская чета проследовала в закрытой карете в Петровский дворец.
- 9 мая состоялся торжественный въезд императорской четы в Москву: первым ехал полицеймейстер Ефимович с взводом жандармов, следом императорский конвой, вереница карет с сановниками, за которыми следовали кавалергарды, императорский личный конвой, сотня лейб-казачьего Его Величества полка по шести в ряд и так далее. В соответствии с высочайше утверждённым церемониалом, торжественный въезд совершался от Петровского дворца по Петербургскому шоссе и далее по Тверской-Ямской и Тверской улицам.
- Священнодействие началось 14 мая в 10 часов утра на специальном возвышенном помосте, установленном посреди собора. Непосредственно пред началом коронования император сел на трон Михаила Фёдоровича, императрица Мария Фёдоровна — на трон Алексея Михайловича, императрица Александра Фёдоровна — на трон Иоанна III. Все священнодействия коронования совершал первенствующий член Святейшего правительствующего синода митрополит Санкт-Петербургский Палладий, затем последовала литургия, в совершении которой означенному митрополиту сослужили митрополит Киевский Иоанникий (Руднев) и Московский Сергий (Ляпидевский). В конце литургии было совершено помазание Императора и Императрицы святым миром и затем причащение Святых Таин. Государь приобщался в алтаре, у Трапезы по царскому чину (отдельно Тела и Крови). После священнодействия, в тот же день, в Грановитой палате Кремля состоялась Царская трапеза, на которой присутствовали приглашённые лица из числа российских подданных, иностранным же представителям по традиции было предложено угощение в других местах дворца.
- Рано утром 18 мая, в день «народного праздника» на Ходынском поле в честь коронации, из-за давки погибли люди: по официальным данным, погибли 1389 человек и 1300 получили тяжёлые увечья. Официальный правительственный орган 19 мая 1896 года печатал телеграмму из Москвы, гласившую: «Москва, 18-го мая. Блистательное течение коронационных торжеств омрачилось прискорбным событием. Сегодня, 18 мая, задолго до начала народного праздника, толпа в несколько сот тысяч двинулась так стремительно к месту раздачи угощения на Ходынском поле, что стихийною силою своею смяла множество людей».

Vladivostok is a stronghold, one of the many pillars installed by the Russian people along a huge highway. There are Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, Irkutsk, Khabarovsk, and finally, at the very edge of the sea, a place where the Russian dream has reached, there's Vladivostok. The Russian dream has returned to the Far East. It blesses all earthly deeds and investments and grants a higher meaning to human lives. Russia's Far East gives life in Russia a higher purpose, a spiritual journey of sorts.
Jekaterinburg, srce Euroazije
Jekaterinburg je četvrti po veličini grad u Rusiji. Nalazi se u središtu euroazijskog kontinenta, na granici Europe i Azije.
Grad je osnovan 1723. Ime je dobio po supruzi cara Petra Velikog, Katarini I. U periodu između 1924. i 1991. grad je nosio ime Sverdlovsk, po jednom od vođa Komunističke partije SSSR Jakovu Sverdlovu. Za vrijeme Drugog svjetskog rata mnogobrojne državne tehničke institucije i čitave tvornice bile su premještene u Jekaterinburg.
Jekaterinburg je čuven po svojim kazalištima i predstavlja važan centar ruske dramske umjetnosti. Grad je sedište „Nove drame, pokreta suvremenih ruskih dramaturga.
Jedna od znamenitosti grada je crkva Svih Svetih, podignuta na mjestu gdje su za vrijeme Ruskog građanskog rata streljani posljednji ruski car Nikolaj II i njegova obitelj.

Vladivostok - Moscow (May 17 - June 2, 2016)
Vladivostok to Moscow. --- Trans-Siberian Railway Trip, May 17 to June 2, 2016
Our journey started from Vladivostok. Yul Brynner who stared in The King and I was born here; His statue is in front of the house he was born.
The second stop was Irkutsk. The city's old quarter reminded me the scenes from the movie Doctor Zhivago with it's traditional wooden houses and the old trams. As an admirer of the Decembrists and their women, we visited Volkonsky and Trubestskoy's houses. One could tell the owners lived rather extravagant life during their time in the houses. White Army Admiral Alexander Kolchak's statue stands in front of Znamensky Monastery, at the spot he was executed. The monastery also has tomb of Grigory Shelekhov, who claimed Alaska for Russia, and that of the Decembrist wife Ekaterina Trubetskaya.
From Irkutsk, we reached to Lake Baikal via Listvyanka; The amazing beauty of this Lake has to be seen to believe!
Moving on from Irkutsk, the train stopped at Novosibirsk for about 50 minutes, just enough time to taxi to the city center to see the dramatic Lenin statue with flowing cloak.
The industrial city Yekaterinburg is famous for the Cathedral on the Blood, which was built at the location the last Tsar and his family were murdered. We took a local train and then walked for about 40 minutes, along a beautiful, primeval forest, to get to Ganina Yama, visiting the site the bodies of the Romanov family were secretly disposed of originally.
Next, we stopped at Kazan. Ivan the Terrible conquered the Tatars' capital in 1552. Russia's icon, the St. Basil's Cathedral of Moscow was built to commemorate the capture of Kazan. Like Yekaterinburg, Kazan is a financially well to do city compared with other places we visited along the route.
Another over night train took us to Nizhny Novgorod, which was the first of the six golden ring cities we visited during the trip: Nizhny Novgorod, Vladmir, Suzdal, Rostov-Velikiy, Sergiev Posad and Yaroslavl. Rostov-Velikiy is my favorite. It has an unparalleled view of the Kremlin from lake Nero. We also witnessed a Sunday church parade and a Mass in Rostov. Suzdal stands out as an unspoiled village town. Nizhny and Yaroslavl are actually very large cities, their top attractions are the peaceful and scenic river sides. Vladmire and Sergiev Posad both have some most photogenic scenes.
We saved Moscow for the last. Indeed, Moscow proves to be worthy of the capital of Russia! There are simply too many fascinating things to see! The metro is handy, on top of the fact itself is a bona-fide museum.
We visited many Orthodox churches during the trip. Many have magnificent interior. The choral music were serene, peaceful and simply amazing!
The monuments in the country are many. Don't miss Victory park, and all-Russia exhibition center, both of Moscow. The monuments in these two locations are just awe inspiring!
We took the west bound trains for the journey. The east bound direction is more popular with leisure travelers. We had to change trains in each location mentioned above except Novosibirsk. Long distance tickets were either purchased ahead of time ( or at the time of travel in the station. Mid to late May is the shoulder season, it's relatively easy to get train tickets. Local train tickets were easily bought on site.
Train station in big cities usually has resting room with single/double/dorm types and clean linen, charged by the hour. We stayed in such a resting room in Irkutsk as we got there in the early morning. The room was clean, quite and rather spacious.
In May of 2009, I visited Saint Petersburg. Please see the video for the visit:

Fighting in these regiments were different boldness, courage and determination.To truly appreciate the role of marine soldiers during the Northern War, Peter I was able, by taking part in boarding combat in May 1703, when the mouth of the Neva were captured by two Swedish ship. The important role played by the Marines in the defense of the island of Kotlin where clearly manifested heroism, courage and bravery regiments Tolbukhina and Ostrovsky, have added many glorious pages in the history of the Russian military.After the defense Kotlin summer 1705 again raised the question of creating the fleet of specially trained marine units.16 (27) November 1705 decree of Peter I, was formed Marine Regiment. This day was the birthday of the Marine Corps Russia.Officers of the Marine Corps came with a non-commissioned officers of the Life Guards and the Semenov regiment, who have been trained, educated and gained combat experience during the Great Northern War. Adopted under Peter I decree On primogeniture and Table of Ranks allowed to form the officer corps of the best representatives of the Russian nation, in particular the nobility, as the basis of Russian autocracy. Overriding rule of Peter I - «In the service - honor came in the flesh and blood of the Russian officers of the Marine Corps XVIII century. Rank and file of Russian marines different social, ethnic and religious homogeneity, which gave it the character of a single organism, fostered a sense of patriotism and of duty to protect the homeland. All these features of the Russian Marines helped maintain a high morale of personnel as opposed to the fleets of the European states, completed with the hiring and representing a variety of on the national and ethnic and religious composition of the troops that it was impossible to teach, nor to lead the fight differently than by brutal drill.In the development and formation of modern combat Marines significant role and achievements belong to General JS Skuratov.The Great Patriotic War [edit] Form and weapons of the Soviet Marines after 1943By the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, the Soviet Navy had only one brigade of marines in the Baltic Fleet, but with the beginning of the war the development and training of troops, battalions and brigades.

During the war, the Marines proved themselves in the defense of Moscow, Leningrad, Odessa, Sevastopol, Murmansk, Stalingrad, Novorossiisk, Kerch. For Service in Battle 5 brigades and two Marine battalions converted into guard, 9 and 6 battalions, brigades were awarded medals, awarded many honorary titles. 122 Marines were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.
