I was finally going to go once again to Regional Studies. There was some prejudice about the exhibition dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the death of the royal family.

I was finally going to go once again to Regional Studies. There was some prejudice about the exhibition dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the death of the royal family. But then I thought, why not. At the checkout, the employee was very sensible and even convincingly explained what, where and for how much, what you can and where to go. As a result, I bought tickets for everything, and went to the top.

On the second floor, the employee on duty invited me to see the exhibition first, anniversary Ural folk choir, and the main exhibition, as they are open until 18.00. Well, yes, time is running unnoticed by the choir for 75 years (first photo). It was interesting to look at the photographs reflecting the path of the team. I liked the embroidery that the great Leader Comrade Kim Il Sung presented (second photo). He carefully looked at the costumes (third photo), beautiful, of course. What I lacked here was the binding of concert costumes to a certain area - where were they worn? when did you wear it? etc. I ran through the main exhibition - the furniture still looks, causing respect for the work of the masters (photos fourth, fifth, sixth).

The exposition from the Kerch Museum was a surprise. Exhibits for the most part small, the preservation is not very good, rather fragments than whole things. The exception, perhaps, is these amphorae, among which there are those that were made even before our era. (photo seven). An unexpected pleasant effect in the midst of this communication with the antiques was caused by the appearance of a woman with such a familiar face - she greeted everyone who was in the hall at that moment. The mood was good, but then jumped even higher. It turned out that the director of the museum was Natalya Konstantinovna Vetrova. It turned out very homely. Nice.

I liked the small chamber exposition "Livadia" - such bright and calm subjects were chosen: the Park in Livadia (photo eight), the House of the Minister of the Imperial Court, Baron V. B. Frederiks (photo ninth), Morning of the Livadia Palace (photo ten). I highly recommend dropping in and admiring it - very in the mood.

What else? A small exposition about the Kerch bridge and not only about it, of course, and the president in the center. I don’t know how it happened, but about the bridge before going to look about the royal family "The Tragedy of the Family ... The Tragedy of the Motherland." It is really sad, even very sad, in part it is written, and in part it is already possible to independently speculate how the autocrat led the country, society, state, and at the same time own family to so tragic ending. A special mood is created by the film and frames of the chronicle of that time and not only the film, but also paintings, as well as photographs - playing soldiers, reviews, parades, aiguillettes, but the family goes to a prayer service, again soldiers, marches and parades, again sovereign surrounded by clergy. and here he is on a hunt with dead partridges, he also rides his daughters and son on a boat, and so on ad infinitum. And at this time, the hidden crisis of the whole state system grew stronger, the country was already rolling towards a tragic finale. This is the sad aftertaste I have left from the external that is shown in the exposition brought from the Pavlovsk Palace.

I almost forgot that photography is not allowed at this exhibition. And there is something to see. I especially liked the portrait of Empress Maria Feodorovna - the nobility of beauty. But, the portrait of Nicholas II by Vasily Vereshchagin was very unlucky. All the plates, as an employee told me, were sent to the paintings from Pavlovo. They made a double mistake for the portrait in Russian, and even duplicated it in English. It turns out that the painter, who died in the explosion of the battleship Petropavlovsk on the roadstead of Port Arthur in 1904, lived until 1909, and the painting itself is dated for some reason the same year. In general, ay-yay-yay, employees from the Pavlovsk Palace Museum, how are you?

At this critical moment, I will end my short story about what he saw and heard in the museum. It's worth going. I recommend

The opening of the museum took place in the assembly hall of the Yekaterinburg men's gymnasium. The first exhibits were presented thanks to its founders.

The building in which the museum is located belonged to the Ural businessman Alfons Fomich Poklevsky-Cosell.

One of the most tragic pages of our history is revealed by the exposition dedicated to the stay of the Romanov family in the Urals. On the night of July 17, 1918, a massacre was carried out in Yekaterinburg against the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II, his relatives and close associates. Around the same time, other members of the royal family exiled to Perm and Alapaevsk.

The exposition consists of two parts. The first is dedicated to Nicholas II, his life and reign, marked not only by violent social upheavals, but also by the growth of Russia's power. The second tells about the investigation into the circumstances of the murder of the royal family and the search for the remains of the dead.

The investigation began at the end of July 1918, after Yekaterinburg was occupied by the Whites. Then it could not be completed, but the fact of the murder of Nicholas II and his entire family in the Ipatov house was confirmed. The search for the remains of the royal family resumed only in the 70s of the twentieth century, and enthusiasts were engaged in them. Their work was crowned with success in 1979, but its results did not become public until ten years later. In 1991, an official autopsy of the discovered burial was carried out, which contained the remains of nine people.

Forensic and genetic examinations lasted for several years, leading specialists from Russia, the USA, Great Britain and Ukraine were involved in the work. In 1997, the identity of the remains was established, and a year later royal family found the last shelter in the family tomb of the Romanovs - in the Peter and Paul Cathedral of the Peter and Paul Fortress in St. Petersburg.

The exposition is unique in that it presents materials on the investigation of the circumstances of the murder and the examination: photographs, documents, material monuments found at the site of the search for the royal remains. There are sculptural portraits of the dead, created by Russian criminologists according to the method of the famous anthropologist Mikhail Gerasimov.
