Opis

The Imperial Family of Russia all died in 1918, right? Wrong! While the Tsar, his wife and five children were indeed shot to death in Yekaterinburg on July 17, 1918, many nieces, nephews, and cousins escaped the murderous hands of the Bolsheviks. Whatever happened to them?Romanovs in the 21st Century answers that very question. This work is not the story of any one person, but is the biography of a family. Emperor Nicholas I died in 1855 and is the common root of all of the branches of the Romanov family tree. As we travel up and down each branch like a squirrel we will examine each of the leaves that are still attached, and maybe even find a nut or two.The Romanovs have spread across the earth and now live on all continents, including a few who have remained in Russia. The current generation is no longer living in the gilded palaces of St. Petersburg, but do make up a good cross-section of 21st century society. They include everything from runway models to the crowned heads of Europe; from a Broadway star to a farmer in Tuscany. This is their combined story.
