The murder of the Tsar and his family is another strong interest of mine - I have a lot of books on the subject!

Thanks, Roger and Bob.... Facinating!

I first got interested in the story of Nicholas and Alexandra and their murders and then found that Alexander II was fascinating also. I need to do more reading on his reign and life during that era since it coincides more with the period in American history that I love.

About ten years ago, I was fortunate to see the special exhibit on Nicholas and Alexandra that was traveling the U.S. Absolutely fantastic from crowns to royal carriage and everything in between.

The relationship between Lincoln's actions freeing the slaves and the Tsar's freeing the serfs was what Rick Stelnick was engaged in with a Russian historian (I am sorry, I cannot remember her name) about the time his social life blew up. I get the feeling that this is big stuff in Russia, 150 years later.

An exhibit like this in Russia? I would think it would raise a few eyebrows as Russia is still Communist?
