“The October Revolution did not come unexpectedly”

A talk with Prince Zurab Chavchavadze

Peter Davydov, Zurab Mikhailovich Chavchavadze

The Russian Orthodox Diaspora: Copenhagen 1987-1988

Archpriest Nicholas Artemov

In fact, Danish Royalty and the Russian Royal House have been closely connected—Tsar Nicholas II's mother, Tsarina Maria Feodorovna, was a Danish princess. Archpriest Nicholas Artemov, who served there from 1987-88, published on the website ROCOR Studies his memoirs of that historical parish.
