Another monument to Nicholas II was unveiled in Crimea
A monument dedicated to the meeting of the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II with his bride, Princess Alice of Hesse-Darmstadt, was opened today in the Seaside Park of Alushta. The composition also depicts the Grand Ducal couple: Sergei Alexandrovich, uncle of Tsarevich Nicholas, and his wife Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna.
The event was held on the initiative of the Double-Headed Eagle Society for the Development of Russian Historical Education, with the support of the Elisabeth-Sergius Educational Society Foundation and the government of the Republic of Crimea.
“These were extremely courageous people. They were so devoted to their royal Cross, to their service that they went to Golgotha, for us, for the entire Russian people. They did not send their subjects to the civil war; they themselves retreated from the throne and entered the Kingdom of Heaven ahead of their people. And now, like holy martyrs, they pray for us all. But here, on this monument, they are still young and cheerful. “Your whole life is ahead,” said the channel’s founder, Orthodox oligarch Konstantin Malofeev, who was called one of the sponsors of the Russian Spring (according to ex-militia leader Igor Strelkov, Malofeev after Crimea refused to help the uprising in Donbass).
On October 10, 1894, Tsarevich Nicholas in Alushta met Princess Alice, who was heading to Livadia after accepting the offer to become his wife. In Livadia, Nicholas and Alice were blessed for marriage by Emperor Alexander III. To become the wife of the Russian Tsarevich, the princess, a Lutheran by birth, converted to Orthodoxy and was named Alexandra Feodorovna.
In 2016, the then prosecutor of Crimea, Natalya Poklonskaya, placed a bust of Nicholas II next to the prosecutor’s office building in Simferopol. In 2017, she stated on Malofeev’s Tsargrad TV channel, citing data from believers, that the bust became myrrh-streamed.
In 2018, Malofeev’s structures bought the Livadia sanatorium for 509 million rubles, with the initial sale price of the property being more than 396 million rubles. Land plots with an area of over 26 square meters and buildings were sold, as well as three objects of cultural heritage of regional significance: “Laundry with an iron room, early 000th century”, “Small service house, early XNUMXth century”, “Suite House, XNUMXth century” .
