And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Sad, site of the royal family execution, by chance someone posted it yesterday https://cdni.rbth.com/rbthmedia/images/2017.12/original/5a26a66915e9f959c73d351d.jpg
She was definitely NOT a victim of Rasputin. She and her whole family were brutally butchered by the henchmen of the Bolshevik revolutionaries; and all of Russia suffered immensely for more than 70 years after that senseless, cruel slaughter.
A stunning woman. A tragic loss. It's too bad the Tsar didn't see the writing on the wall. He wasn't too bright a ruler, but the massacre of the royal family does not justify the means, unless you are a communist.
pretty girl......
ReplyDeleteDied in 1918, her family lost the revolution.

Another Rasputin victim. Pretty young lady. If she were around today she'd be a member of the Glitterati culture

Stomp down beautiful. So they did make them like that years ago.
ReplyDeleteThere was more than one Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna of Imperial Russia!
ReplyDeleteThis one was the daughter of Tsar Nicholas II.
The other one (18 August 1819 – 21 February 1876) was the daughter of Emperor Nicholas I.
A beauty.
