Romanovs in St. Petersburg

The city, built at the behest of Peter Alekseevich Romanov, keeps the memory of the Russian tsars dynasty that served the Fatherland in 304 years. Almost each of the ruling members of the Grand Dynasty, as well as many of their relatives - princes of imperial blood, decorated the city with new architectural masterpieces and monuments.

I have been privileged to be personally acquainted with several living members of the Romanov dynasty. It is with great pleasure that I recount what I have heard from them about their ancestors.
