The Romanovs' 400-Year Reign Triumphant Again

KOSTROMA — Russia's last royal dynasty was honored this Saturday in the ancient city of Kostroma in northern Russia. The first Romanov czar was elected in this city in 1613 AD, the year that put an end to the "Times of Troubles" in medieval Russia.
The enthronement of czar Mikhail Fyodorovich Romanov took place at the city's Ipatievsky Monastery. His dynasty lasted just over 300 years until, in 1917, the Bolsheviks executed Russia's last ruling monarch, Nicholas II, and his immediate family. Various members of the Romanov family were able to flee from communist Russia, and their descendants survived to this day to mark the 400 years of the Romanov dynasty.
Several Orthodox cadets in pre-revolutionary parade uniforms and scouts lined the parkway street across from the nearby Romanov Museum.

Good, I'm tired of hearing Preobrajensky March only on Victory Day.
Ah, yet another "sons of leutenant Schmidt" spin. This sht is uncurable.
I apologize if there are political dimensions. I didn't realize.
Ah, self congratulating "Crunch of French bakery" shoooo nice.
They dumb or what?great national accomplishments under the Romanov rule in the fields of industrial development, education, economics, social rights, labor laws, government
No worries, it's kinda refreshing to gloat about Monarchist apologists once in a while )))Originally Posted by Lt-Col A. Tack
Criminal dimensions of slightly bigger than usual scale. A fraud feeding on distorted history.
In their difference, Labor law was improved. Work by children under 12 was banned in 1886 and every factory employee was required to have medical services from 1904 onward.
Also education was significantly boosted under the Romanovs. Statistics in 1897 recorded a 70% literacy rate and 60% Children were getting Primary education by 1910. Had the Tsar not fvcked over the Empire by going to war, Universal Literacy was expected to become a reality by 1921.
Wow, the commies are coming out of the woodwork.
Crunch is more about the soviet red libtardish-wanna-be-teh-europeanz schizophrenics. Don't mix it with real historical Russia and persons of Romanov's Empire. Which was more like traditional highly militaristic aristocratic society.
As about developing, it's not cool to remind about it due to soviet fans butthurt, but it really was. First law about the universal primary education was in 1908. In 1914 there were 123 000 schools. And etc.
The problem is that for Soviets to legitimate their ruling it was(and is) need to describe the Empire like crappy Rashka.
Offcourse it was not the heaven and I'm not fan of monarchy, but I don't see why so many ppl still continuing to repeating all those Bronsteins stamps. It was our country, our history, not only the 70 years of USSR. And it was more our country than modern Russia to be honest.
You say this like they replaced Rurik dynasty in 19-th century and not from 1613, all that slavery stuff it's Romanovs doing, I would've understand that those self-congrating dinks if they've dropped that PC hypocrisy about education, industry and human rights and just praised them for what they were good at - creating huge Empire, fvcking over anyone without looking back, and ruling all that stuff without any regard for small-folk and feeling good about it.
Jeez, when did I deserve Hammer and Sickle? Can I just gloat about those long dead ruthless assholes and not be a Stalinist at the same time?
Ahem, remember WW2? When Germany pwned western europe first and then had concentrated biggest part of resources on us?
So it's not so stupid to attack it so that it'll need to fight on several big fronts at one time.
The Russian Steamroller was not ready for trench warfare; its supply of weaponry was laughable and it was commanded by closed minded, over aged officers. The only real quality of the Imperial army were her soldiers who were known for their courage and endurance; especially when logical support was almost nonexistent. But as the war went on, even these traits were becoming difficult to find.
