The Symposium will be dedicated to the memory of members of the Romanov Royal House assassinated in the course of the Russian Revolution, the centenary of which is this year. Some of them are venerated by the Russian Orthodox Church as martyrs. The aim of the Symposium is to present the latest developments in the studies of the Romanov Imperial family based on archival and museums research. The theme of the Symposium has attracted many prominent historians and specialists from the United Kingdom and from Russia who will speak about the relationship between the House of Romanov and the House of Windsor during the last hundred years before the tragic events of 1917-1919; about the personalities of the Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna, Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna and her sister Empress Alexandra Feodorovna (both of them Queen Victoria’s grand daughters), Emperor Nicholas II, his uncle Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich (Elizabeth’s husband), Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna (of Edinburgh) and others. Their lives will be presented through letters, state documents, photographs, film and art objects of the time. There will be a presentation of some new discoveries never before seen.
