A monument to Emperor Nicholas II unveiled in Livadia by the Crimea's Prosecutor General

Yalta, the South Crimea, May 23, 2015

    

On May 19 a bust to the Holy Russian Emperor Nicholas II was unveiled at the Livadia Palace of the Crimea, reports the Kp.ru website. Now this marble monument decorates the entrance to this famous palace which was a favorite summer residence of the imperial Romanov Family until the Revolution of 1917.

It was not a coincidence that the event took place on May 19 since it was the Holy Emperor’s birthday on that day, said workers of the Livadia Palace.

    

It was the Prosecutor General of the Republic of Crimea (now in the Russian Federation) Natalia Poklonskaya who proposed installation of a bust of the Russian tsar on the territory of the palace. She also was present at the ceremony. Earlier she said that Crimean residents should be aware of historical lessons and remember that Tsar Nicholas II had sacrificed himself and his family to Russia. It is necessary for young people to love, appreciate and defend their native land.

His knowledge of his fate was truly prophetic. “I have more than a presentiment, – he used to say, – that I am doomed to terrible trials, and that I will not be rewarded for them in this world.” Beginning with Russia’s defeat in the Russo-Japanese war, which was followed by the revolution of 1905-1907, which diminished the Tsar's power and freed the forces of anarchy and outright evil, the foundations of Russian sovereignty tottered more and more.
