The Romanov recitals open in Yekaterinburg
YEKATERINBURG, July 17 (Itar-Tass) - Russia will commemorate the 90th anniversary of one of the most horrible crimes in Russian history - the killing of the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II.
The Bolsheviks in Yekaterinburg executed the emperor, his wife, five children and four loyal servants on the night from July 17 to 18, 1918. In 2000, the Russian
Orthodox Church canonized all of them for submissively facing their fate
and suffering.
Commemorations of the tsar's tragic death are held in Yekaterinburg
every year. They are known as "Tsarist Days." All the Orthodox churches in
Russia will hold memorial services for Nicholas II and his martyr family
on Thursday. The 11th "Romanov recitals" conference will open in
Yekaterinburg as part of Tsarist Days.
The participants in the conference will include scholars from
Yekaterinburg, Moscow, Nizhnevartovsk, Saratov, Tver, Chelyabinsk and
Yaroslavl.
"The conversation will dwell on the extermination of the Romanov
Imperial House during the Civil War, the exhumation and reburial of the
remains of the Tsarist family, the Romanovs' role in the development of
Russian statehood in the 18th- early 20th centuries. The participants will
also discuss how to eternalise the Romanovs' name," the forum's organizing
committee explained.
An exhibition titled "A House of Special Purpose" will feature
original materials from the state archives of the Sverdlovsk region linked
to the stay in Yekaterinburg of Nicholas the Second and his family, the
stay of grand princes in Alapayevsk as well as investigation into the
tsarist family's death. The documents are dated 1918-1934.
The conference will continue in Alapayevsk on July 18. The
participants will visit a place of murder of Grand Princess Yelizaveta
Fyodorovna and princes from the Romanovs' Imperial House.
In addition to that, the third international festival of documentary
films "The Swallows of Russia" is being held in Yekaterinburg to
commemorate the 90th anniversary of the tsar's death.
Eight films are running in the main competition but five haven't been
included in the competition program, officials at the festival's
organizing committee said.
Directors from the Altai territory, Moscow, Samara, Tobolsk as
well as from Ukraine and Belarus have brought their documentaries to
Yekaterinburg where the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II and his family
were shot dead by the Bolsheviks on July 18, 1918. All the documentaries
are devoted to the tragic death of the tsarist family. But there is one
that particularly sticks to memory.
"The Route to the Golgotha" by directors Anatoly Golovkov and Viktor
Golovkov (Tobolsk) was created with the blessing of Archbishop Dimitriy of
Tobolsk and Tyumen and Archbishop Vikentiy of Yekaterinburg. The
documentary tells about the tsarist family's exile in Tobolsk and
Yekaterinbrug of which Nicholas II wrote in his diaries. The authors
wanted to show Nicolas as an ordinary person.
Most of these documentaries have already won prestigious awards.
