Download or read book The Disappearance of Michael Romanov written by and published by Susan Appleyard. This book was released on 2023-04-30 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against his wishes, Grand Duke Michael Romanov was thrust into the role of tsar for one day when his brother, Tsar Nicholas II, abdicated. Little did he know, this betrayal would put him in grave danger at the hands of the Bolsheviks. When he disappeared, his wife Natasha fled to England with their teenage daughter, desperate to escape the bloody revolution that threatened their lives. Natasha Sergeyevna, the twice-divorced daughter of a lawyer, had thought she found her fairy tale ending when she married Grand Duke Michael Romanov. But as St. Petersburg fell under revolutionary control in 1917, her dream became a nightmare. With Lenin's rise to power, the imperial family was marked for destruction, and Natasha feared for her husband's life. Was Michael able to escape? Or did he become another victim of the Bolsheviks' merciless reign? In this gripping tale of love and danger, Natasha's determination to find her husband echoes that of another controversial couple - the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Like them, Michael and Natasha faced harsh criticism for their marriage, but they chose to stand by each other and face exile rather than give up on their love. For fans of historical fiction and stories of forbidden love.

Download or read book Kyivan Rus written by Leonard Chepel and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-01-28 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mighty Swedish Viking warrior, Oleg-Helge, standing on the shores of the Dnieper River, declared: “Garðaveldi (Gardarike) – Kyivan Rus!” The city of Kyiv (50:27N/30:31E) became the mother of all cities of that new Scandinavian Rus Empire. It happened ca. 882-884 in the heart of the medieval East Slavic population called “Polans”, the ancestors of the Ukrainian nation. Kyivan Rus prevailed strong and unified for a couple of centuries, until the renegade rulers-princes sundered the country, taking the northeastern outskirts at the upper springs of the Volga River and naming those as the “Russian Principality”. In 13-15th centuries, the Mongols of Genghis khan enslaved, as they said - “the northern Russian tribes”, which became the most devoted vassals of the Mongol Empire. Supported by the Mongols, the Russian tribes had violently moved to the west, into the central Kyivan Rus – Ukraine. The former Kyivan Rus Empire fell apart. If the fall of the Roman Empire led to the birth of Europe and higher civilization, the fall of Kyivan Rus led to the opposite results. *** -, , , : « – !» (50:27../30:31..) . 882-884 «», . , - , - « ». 13-15 , – « », . , , – . . , .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abundant, newly discovered sources shatter long-held beliefs The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 revealed, among many other things, a hidden wealth of archival documents relating to the imprisonment and eventual murder of Tsar Nicholas II, his wife Alexandra, and their children. Emanating from sources both within and close to the Imperial Family as well as from their captors and executioners, these often-controversial materials have enabled a new and comprehensive examination of one the pivotal events of the twentieth century and the many controversies that surround it. Based on a careful analysis of more than 500 of these previously unpublished documents, along with numerous newly discovered photos, The Fate of the Romanovs makes compelling revisions to many long-held beliefs about the Romanovs' final months and moments. This powerful account includes: * Surprising evidence that Anastasia may, indeed, have survived * Diary entries made by Nicholas and Alexandra during their captivity * Revelations of how the Romanovs were betrayed by trusted servants * A reconstruction of daily life among the prisoners at Ipatiev House * Strong evidence that the Romanovs were not brutalized by their captors * Statements from admitted participants in the murders
