At Home with the Romanovs Course/Class August 26, 2011

Imperial Russia, the Napoleonic War, World War I and the Russian Revolution form the backdrop for the fascinating and tragic story of the Romanovs, the royal family that ruled Russia for 300 years. From Tsar Peter the Great, who built an entire city in his own honour, to his daughter Elizabeth I, whose love of French culture transformed the Russian aristocracy, Alexander III, who fostered the extraordinary art of Carl Faberge, and to the last tragic tsar, Nicholas II, this day examines the unique cultural, artistic and historical legacy of the Tsars' Russia - a land of strength, elegance and rich beauty.
