  • Nicholas’s great passion was lawn tennis. He first got real sight of the game during his visits to England, in 1896, and began playing almost every day. Five tennis courts were soon set up in different royal estates. The family and their friends, all shared Nicholas’s affection for the game. The members of the royal family, mention their love for tennis throughout their letters and diaries, constantly.

      Sadly the Tsar made wrong political decisions, following his wife’s advice. They thought God put them in their position... and God put poor people in their position also. So never crossed their mind to make reforms to better the life of the Russian people. If you search a bit, you will find info. A good book in Nicholas and Alexandra. You learnt the social and political life of Russia under his reign.
      About OTMA and Alexei, that will always break my heart how the Bolsheviks kill those poor kids

      I like to remember them as the wonderful family that they were and leave out all the politics. Nicholas and Alexandra had their faults (we all do, nobody's perfect after all) but they had five exceptional children and they all loved each other; they were happiest when they were together.

    There is a story about a Yusupov cousin, who was a tennis professional. The cousin was invited to the Yusupov estate in Crimea at the same time The Imperial Family was in residence at their Crimean estate. Tsar Nicholas II, who was an avid tennis player, was anxious to play tennis with the cousin who was therefore invited to play tennis with the Tsar. On one serve by the cousin, the tennis ball slammed into the Tsar's ankle, injuring the Tsar so badly that the Tsar was unable to walk for several days. The Yusupov family was mortified and was very angry with their cousin for playing so hard against the Tsar. However, the Tsar was, as always, quite gracious and appreciated that the relative did not defer to the Tsar and play at a lesser level of intensity. Even so, when the relative was invited to play with the Tsar again, he toned down his game and made certain that he volleyed the tennis ball with less force and more accuracy.

Trust me I'm related to Wild West Legend United States Army (Union) Private 2nd Class (Chief of Scout's) William Fredrick "Buffalo Bill" Cody of the 7th Kansas Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Cavalry Regiment from 1863-1865, 1868-1872. Lieutenant Colonel. (Brevet Major General.) George Armstrong Custer is my Great Great Great God Father.... Fun fact they both met up with Grand Duke Alexei Alexandrovich Romanov on a Buffalo and Bison hunt in 1871 to help pay off our Debts from the American Civil War (1861-1865) under President Ulysses S. Grant (1869-1877) and to help pay off Imperial Russia's debts from the Crimean War (1853-1856) but I will say Custer and his men of the elite 7th United States Army Cavalry might of died at the Battle of the Little Big Horn River, but not in vein.... They died with their boots on. They died with their boots on. You know why because a regiment lives on and has an immortal soul of its own. All for Garry Owen and glory. Our hearts so stout have got us fame for tis known from whence we came, now help me with this fine chorus our hearts so stout have got us fame for tis known from whence we came where ever they go they dread the name of Garry Owen and glory. We are the boys who none dare dun will make the mayor's and Sheriff's run and we'll regard there whole skin.

    What a lovely video! Lots of photos that I hadn't seen before (that's saying something!). The problem with the Romanovs was they liked their privacy and the Russian people never really got to see what they were really like in real life. They lived in their own little world but they knew that most people didn't live like that and the children in particular were interested in what life was like in the real world outside the Imperial Palaces. I don't blame the Tsar and Empress (they'll always be the Tsar and Empress as far as I'm concerned) for wanting to keep their children safe from anarchists, I would have done the exact same thing if I was in their shoes. Is anyone else wondering what Tsarevich Alexei was getting up to while the others were playing Tennis?

      Each carried a backpack and had a large suitcase in their hands.
      I only brought as much as I could.
      We don't climb mountains like in the movie, we cross the train tracks behind the site, we head to the train station called Aigen in Salzburg, and take the first train to the south 🇮🇹 north of Italy.
      So we stayed in a small hostel, as Martina wrote to Erica in a letter ✉️.
      The villagers of San Giorgio were friendly and the mountain scenery was wonderfully beautiful.
      We stayed there for a while.
      🇮🇹 The Italian government did not pay the navy pension while my father was in 🇦🇹 Austria, but we went to San Giorgio and finally got it.
      Thanks to this, after spending the summer, we arrived in London.
      We carried passports, visas, contracts and travel permits to the United States of America.
      However, the visa was due to expire in 1939/3 the following year.
      We took the 🚂 train through 🇨🇭 Switzerland to 🇫🇷 France.
      Then we crossed the high waves of the Channel by boat and went sightseeing in London for just a few hours.
      On October 7, 1938, at 3 p.m., we took the 🚂 train to Southampton.
      🚢 "The American Farmer" is anchored there.
