The history of Russia and the Romanov dynasty are so closely interwoven other that any new facts connected with the royal family become a real discovery of national importance. Until recently we knew of two holy icons associated with the House of Romanov. But not long ago it became known that there was another, a third icon which shared the destiny of the Royal Martyrs.

I don't understand why they're holding the crowns above their heads. The whole reason for that weird Russian thing is because of Peter 1, I figured Romanovs would get to set it down on the head.

George Mikhailovich is "NOT" the first Romanov to marry in Russia, despite what the misinformed media are reporting! After being widowed in 1989, Prince Dimitri Romanovich (1926-2016) married Dorrit Reventlow (born 1942) in Kostroma on 28 July 1993. His second marriage was the "FIRST" time a Romanov had been married in Russia since the fall of the dynasty.
