Introduction:

Leading: June 13, 2013 at the Ministry of Culture of the Omsk Region, chaired by Deputy Minister of Culture L.A. Chekalina held a meeting dedicated to the celebration of the Royal Days in the Omsk region.

This year the Orthodox world will celebrate memorable date- 400th anniversary of the accession of the Romanov dynasty.

The mournful date - the 95th anniversary of the martyrdom of the Royal Family of Nicholas II - the last Russian emperor - was celebrated yesterday, July 17.

As you know, a church consecrated in honor of the holy Royal Family has been operating in Novoomskoye for five years.

Therefore, the Orthodox and the public of the Novoomsky and Troitsky settlements also could not stay away from significant events. Russian history. Today Novoomskaya rural library invited you to a round table meeting, the theme of which is the 95th anniversary of the tragic death of the royal family.

Our event took place thanks to the public initiative of Strokina G.T. , Dezhurova L.N. and Novoomsk rural library.

Our event is secular. The round table brought together historians, teachers, librarians, cultural workers, and youth.

Today we will touch on a very multifaceted, interesting and, in my opinion, very important topic for everyone. Speaking of the last royal family, words come to mind about the martyrs who did not depart from the faith of Christ, about loving, friendly family, in the hour of death not leaving each other. I would like to know more about what was happening in Russia at that time in order to understand the roots of the tragic events. After all, they affected not only the royal family, but also many ordinary Russians.

To tune in to the perception of the topic of the round table, I invite you to listen to the song "We are Russians" performed by O.G. Tikhonenko. The author of the text is Gennady Ponomarev, the music is Oleg Tikhonenko.

For glory with Christ we were created,

No monstrous enemy will eat us

Stab us with a sickle, star with stars,

But our banner is and will be the cross

Narrow roads lead us to Christ,

We know death, persecution and captivity,

We are Russians, we are Russians, we are Russians,

We will still rise from our knees.

We have ended the discussion with the enemy,

We will rise again to the exploits of grief.

Russia, Ukraine, Belarus -

Slavic tribes three heroes

Chorus: the same

verse 3

The Russian dawn of victory will rise,

And we, having risen, with crosses and icons

Let's go to marry the Russian Tsar.

Chorus: the same

verse 4

For faith, for the Tsar, go, do not be afraid!

Cathedral repentance and prayer

May the Lord resurrect holy Russia!

Presenter: The theme of repentance was continued in her poem by our reader, teacher additional education Omsk Agricultural College Ryabova N.A.

People are interesting...

We leave, burning bridges.

We say we won't regret

And we have nothing to repent of today.

But not in vain Time teaches and heals

And put everything on the shelves.

And everything that once was

It will make you look differently.

Collecting the pieces of stories

To glue the "broken bowl".

And our descendants will repent

For our sins and deeds.

Main part

Leading: Today, July 18, is the day of remembrance of the Martyr Grand Duchess Elizabeth, the sister of the last Russian Empress Alexandra Feodorovna. On the night of July 18, 2018, Elizaveta Feodorovna, along with members of the imperial house, was taken out of the city; the unfortunate were silenced from behind with the butt of an ax and thrown alive into the abandoned mine of the Nizhnyaya Selimskaya iron mine. Then the mine was thrown with grenades, filled with logs and covered with earth.

The Grand Duchess did not fall to the bottom of the mine, a few months later her body was found at a depth of 15 meters, on a ledge. Two grenades never exploded, they lay next to her body. Being seriously injured herself, she tore the hem of her dress and bandaged the wounds of Prince Ivan Konstantinovich, who happened to be nearby. The princess was still alive for at least one more day: a peasant passing by heard a faint singing from the mine. Dying last, Elizaveta Feodorovna prayed for her tortured relatives.

The life of Princess Elizabeth Feodorovna, by the will of fate, turned out to be closely connected with Russia. Born in Germany, she adopted a new homeland, becoming famous in it as a great mother. Her tragic death cut off the chain of her good deeds. As an example, we are left with the child of the princess revived today - the Marfo-Mariinsky Convent, a symbol of mercy and philanthropy.

1. Teacher's word

In the traditions of Russian Orthodox culture, the first place is occupied by the family. Generations of the Russian people were held together and grew up in it, it was customary to be proud of it, to hope for it.
The Royal Family for us is an ideal of love and a way of family life leading to holiness. This is an example of the relationship between a boy and a girl, a husband and wife, between parents and children. large family.
The Holy Martyr Empress Alexandra Feodorovna Romanova, reflecting on marriage and family life, wrote that “the meaning of marriage is to bring joy.” It is understood that married life is the happiest, fullest, purest, richest life. After marriage, two must live for each other.
I consider the lines consonant: And see in your favorite eyes
Gratitude bright spark
Feeling like happiness is on the scales
Outweighed the happiness of loved ones!

Questions for students. Guys, what do you know about Nicholas II?

2.Speech of the student.

Message about Emperor Nicholas II.

The last Russian Emperor Nikolai Aleksandrovich Romanov was born on May 6, 1868 in Tsarskoe Selo.
The birth of a new Grand Duke was marked in St. Petersburg by 101 cannon volleys!
Nikolai was brought up in accordance with the traditions established in the Royal Family. His father was a deeply religious, whole person, a good family man. He brought up the same qualities in his children.
And Maria Fedorovna instilled in children from an early age good manners, courtesy and modesty, religiosity.
She did not allow Nikolai to forget about his destiny for a minute. The Tsarevich learned his mother's lessons well. He was a delicate, modest, tactful and well-mannered young man. His relatives loved him and affectionately called him "dear Nicky."
Not all the joys of childhood and youth were available to Nikolai, his brothers and sisters.
They were not allowed to play noisy games, to attract the attention of children's fuss, it was not possible to communicate with those with whom they would like.
The most favorite entertainment was to build a fire in a remote corner of the park and feast on baked potatoes.
His military career began at the age of 5 with the rank of chief of the Life Guards of the reserve infantry regiment, and by 1880 Nikolai Alexandrovich had already received the rank of second lieutenant. And on March 2, 1881, he was appointed ataman of the Cossack troops.
In 1884, the 16-year-old Tsarevich swore "allegiance to the Throne and Fatherland"
By the age of 23, Nikolai is a highly educated person with a broad outlook. His brilliant education was combined with deep religiosity and knowledge of spiritual literature. His father managed to inspire him with selfless love for Russia, a sense of responsibility for her fate.
No one knew when Nikolai Alexandrovich would have to take the throne.
It happened at the age of 27 of his life.
On May 26, 1896, the coronation of Nikolai Alexandrovich took place in Moscow. Together with the Russian crown, he took over a vast country torn apart by contradictions and conflicts.
Nicholas II was distinguished by modesty, softness of soul, extreme kindness, natural nobility, fidelity to his word, cordiality, and an exceptionally careful attitude to the feelings of other people.
In addition to a strong will and a brilliant education, Nicholas possessed all the natural qualities necessary for state activity. First of all, great work capacity. If necessary, he could work from morning until late at night, studying the numerous documents and materials received in his name. By the way, he also willingly engaged in physical labor.
Throughout his life, the emperor carried love for one woman, who became the mother of his five children. It was Alice of Hesse, a German princess. He met her in his youth ...

3. Word of the teacher.
An unimagined story.

They first met when he was 16 years old and she was 12. A cordial friendship immediately arose between them, they really liked each other. When he was 21 years old, he turned to his parents with a request to bless him for marriage. However, his father’s answer was short: “You are very young, there is still time for marriage.” Such was the parental will. Honor your father, says the fifth commandment: what is said by the father , that is the law. The young man meekly resigned himself and began to wait. During ten years of waiting, cordial friendship turned into holy, selfless, selfless love. This love connected their lives, gave birth to five children and passed into Eternity.
4.Speech of the student.
Empress Empress Alexandra Feodorovna

Princess Alix, the future Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, was born in Germany and was the sixth of seven children in her family. Alix grew up as an affectionate, gentle, slightly shy girl. In the family she was called "the sun" for her kind and friendly disposition. Alix inherited strict moral principles and purity from her mother, who raised her children in the spirit of simplicity and mercy. The clothes of all the children in the family were modest, as was the food: oatmeal for breakfast, boiled meat with a side dish for lunch and rice pudding, baked apples, fruits. They slept on simple soldier bunks. In the morning, according to the Victorian custom introduced into the education system by the English Queen Victoria (grandmother of Princess Alix), cold baths.
Princess Alix received an excellent education - by the age of fifteen she was well aware of history, literature, geography, art, natural sciences and mathematics, she spoke German, French and English. According to many, she was a brilliant pianist and had a good voice. Before her marriage, thanks to her successful studies, she received a Ph.D. from Oxford University.
Princess Alix was a deeply religious girl, brought up in the best traditions of the Lutheran faith. She knew that she could not become a Russian empress without accepting holy Orthodoxy. Therefore, she was accepted into the bosom of the Orthodox Church with the name of Alexander
.For six months before the engagement, Alix wrote 133 letters to Nikolai, and the groom wrote 127 letters to the bride.
Reading Alix's letters to Nicholas.
Their marriage took place on November 27, 1894. After the wedding, Alexandra Feodorovna wrote in her husband's diary: “I never believed that there could be such complete happiness in the world, such a sense of community between two mortals. There will be no more separations. Having finally united, we are connected for life.” In her work “On Family Life”, Alexandra Feodorovna noted: “The duty in the family is selfless love. Everyone should forget his “I”, devoting himself to another.

Question to students: What do you think? Is this really how family relationships are built? (Answers)
What do you know about royal children?
What do you know about their life in the Alexander Palace?

5. Creative work of the student "My acquaintance with the Alexander Palace" (on the material of visits and classes in the Alexander Palace).

Many times I had to walk around the beautiful Alexander Park, admire the Alexander Palace from the outside. For the first time I got on a tour of the interiors of the palace. This is the family residence of Emperor Nicholas II. The Alexander Palace is very cozy - tablecloths on the tables, cozy sofas and armchairs, carpets. This is a palace for life. It seems that its inhabitants are about to appear, voices will sound, and everything in the palace will come to life.
The children's section presents authentic toys of royal children. I learned what the imperial children played, how they celebrated the holidays, what they were fond of. But not only did the children spend their time idly. We were shown the schedule of training sessions, some children were busy from 9 am to 8 pm only with breaks for breakfast and a walk. We are lucky to touch antiques hold a toy tea set in your hands.
We had a chance to play an old Russian board game - spillikins. The imperial children also amused themselves with this game. The meaning of the game is to pull out one toy after another from a pile of toys with a special hook, without touching or scattering the rest. The game continues until the whole pile is taken apart. The one who collects the most spills wins.

Teacher's word. And now we will play with you.
Game with those present. It is based on questions and tasks about the Romanov family. Then the children make up a loto, braid braids from ribbons.

Royal children. Grand Duchess Olga.
Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna Romanova was born in November 1895. She became the first child in the family of Nicholas II.
Parents could not get enough of the appearance of the child. Olga Nikolaevna Romanova was distinguished by her abilities in the study of sciences, she loved solitude and books. The Grand Duchess was very smart, she had Creative skills. Olga behaved with everyone simply and naturally. The princess was surprisingly responsive, sincere and generous. The first daughter of Alexandra Feodorovna Romanova inherited facial features, posture, and golden hair from her mother. From Nikolai Alexandrovich, the daughter inherited inner world. Olga, like her father, had an amazingly pure Christian soul. The princess was distinguished by an innate sense of justice, did not like lies. This immediately attracted people to her. Growing up, Olga Nikolaevna spent more and more time with her father. Nicholas II took his daughter with him to Divine services and to a review of regimental exercises. Olga Nikolaevna Romanova was the chief of the Third Elizabethan Hussar Regiment. During the war with Japan, the Emperor liked to walk with his daughter; only she was his consolation at that time, full of drama and tragic events. Olga was a deeply religious person. Since childhood, she was characterized by honesty and directness. The princess was always sincere, and sometimes even too frank. Olga Nikolaevna was charming and cheerful.
In her free time, the princess loved to ride horses, communicate with her brother, Tsarevich Alexei, and play the piano. When Olga was given the first money for personal needs, she first decided to pay for the treatment of a disabled child, whom she often saw during walks. The boy limped heavily and therefore walked with crutches. Olga had been putting aside part of her personal money for his treatment for a long time.
Soon the First World War broke out. Olga Nikolaevna, like her mother and sisters, was a sister of mercy. At first, the Grand Duchess was a surgical sister. The work is not easy. Olga could not endure the horrors of surgical operations for a long time. She continued to be a sister of mercy, but not in the surgical department. Meeting new wounded at the station, brought straight from the front, the princess more than once had to wash her sick feet and take care of them. However, the princesses rarely gave themselves away, communicating on an equal footing with ordinary Russian soldiers. During the war, Olga and her sisters were members of the Committee for Assistance to Soldiers' Families, where they did a great job. Olga did a lot for the good of society, but she was very shy about her publicity.
Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna Romanova selflessly loved her homeland and family, was very worried about the sick Tsarevich Alexei, rejoiced at her sisters, empathized with her mother and worried about her father.

Grand Duchess Tatyana.
Grand Duchess Tatyana Nikolaevna Romanova was born on June 11, 1897 and was the second child of the Romanov couple. Like Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna, Tatyana outwardly resembled her mother, but her character was paternal. Tatyana Nikolaevna Romanova was less emotional than her sister. Tatyana's eyes were similar to the eyes of the Empress, the figure was graceful, and the color of blue eyes harmoniously combined with brown hair. Tatyana was rarely naughty and had amazing, according to contemporaries, self-control. In Tatyana Nikolaevna, a sense of duty and a penchant for order in everything were highly developed. Due to her mother's illness, Tatyana Romanova often managed the household, and this did not burden the Grand Duchess in the least. She loved needlework, embroidered and sewed well. The princess was of sound mind. In cases requiring decisive action, she always remained herself.
If Olga Nikolaevna was closer to her father, then the second daughter spent more time with the Empress. Self-love was alien to the princess. Tatyana could always quit her business and provide attention to her parents, if it was required. The shyness of the Princess was often mistaken for arrogance.
This was again noted by contemporaries close to Tatyana Nikolaevna. The princess was a poetic nature, longed for true friendship and trust.
Princess Tatyana was deeply religious, she loved to pray and talk with loved ones about religious matters. With the outbreak of World War I, Tatyana became a sister of mercy. Before going to the infirmary, Tatyana got up very early and took various lessons. Then, returning from dressings, - again lessons. Then again infirmaries. By evening, the girl took up needlework. From this we can conclude about the amazing capacity for work of the princess. Tatyana, like Olga, loved children very much. The sisters were lucky to have many godchildren who were dearly loved by them. The princesses loved to invite children to the palace and give them various gifts.
Let's return to the period of Tatyana's life during the World War. In the infirmary, Tatyana worked tirelessly. Her work was hard, but she coped with it with dignity, to the envy of others. Everyone noted the professionalism of the Princess, even the most demanding nurses - doctors. The older sister, Olga, could hardly bear the sight of the wounds of the soldiers. But Tatyana Nikolaevna complained more than once that she was not assigned to work with difficult cases. And she was only 17 years old. In addition, Tatyana founded the "Tatyaninsky Committee", which provided assistance to those affected by the war. The way of life of the two eldest daughters of the royal couple, Olga and Tatyana, was closed and strict; it consisted of labor, prayer, learning, and charitable work. Duty to Russia and God - that was the basis of the life of Tatyana Nikolaevna Romanova.

Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna

Maria Nikolaevna Romanova was born on June 27, 1899. She became the third child of the Emperor and Empress. Grand Duchess Maria was a typical Russian girl. She was characterized by good nature, cheerfulness and friendliness. Maria had a beautiful appearance and life force. According to the memoirs of some of her contemporaries, she was very similar to her grandfather Alexander III. Maria Nikolaevna loved her parents very much. She was strongly attached to them, much more than the rest of the children of the royal couple. The fact is that she was too small for the older daughters (Olga and Tatyana), and too old for the younger children (Anastasia and Alexei) of Nicholas II. The Grand Duchess had big blue eyes. She was tall, with a bright blush on her cheeks - a true Russian beauty.
Maria Romanova was the embodiment of kindness and cordiality. The sisters even took some advantage of this kindness. Maria Nikolaevna was very simple and good-natured. She loved talking to ordinary people. Maria Nikolaevna knew perfectly well the names of the wives of the guards of the Imperial family, she knew who had how many children and was always interested in their affairs.
In the Romanov family, Maria was the most affectionate and affable. She loved to play with little children. Maria Nikolaevna Romanova was no less religious than her older sisters, and always devoted herself completely to prayers, steadfastly enduring long church services. Mary was characterized by deep inner experiences, which she almost did not share with anyone. Only the sensitive heart of Alexandra Fedorovna's mother sometimes guessed something. During World War I, Maria Romanova worked in a hospital with her sisters. She took care of the wounded and helped them in every possible way. The princess was unpretentious and responsive. She was always ready to provide a service, help, without unnecessary ceremony and fuss. During the events of February 1917, Maria Nikolaevna was the only support of the Empress. All the children of the royal family, except for Mary, fell ill with measles. Maria Nikolaevna spent a lot of time around them.
Princess Maria Nikolaevna Romanova was very courageous. She knew how to endure pain and adversity. In March 1917, she became very ill. She had pneumonia. Maria was very worried and tried not to be a burden to her loved ones.

Grand Duchess Anastasia.

Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova was born on June 18, 1901. The sovereign had been waiting for an heir for a long time, and when the long-awaited fourth child turned out to be a daughter, he was saddened. Soon the sadness passed, and the Emperor fell in love with the fourth daughter no less than his other children.
They were expecting a boy, but a girl was born. Anastasia Romanova, in her agility, could give odds to any boy. Anastasia Nikolaevna wore simple clothes inherited from older sisters. The bedroom of the fourth daughter was not richly cleaned. Necessarily every morning Anastasia Nikolaevna took a cold shower. It was not easy to keep an eye on Princess Anastasia - she was very smart as a child. She liked to climb anywhere, to hide. When she was a child, Grand Duchess Anastasia loved to play pranks and also make others laugh. In addition to cheerfulness, Anastasia's character had such features as wit, courage and observation. In all the tricks, the princess was considered the ringleader. Consequently, she was not devoid of leadership qualities. In pranks, Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova later supported her younger brother, heir to the royal throne - Tsarevich Alexei.
A distinctive feature of the young princess was the ability to notice the weaknesses of people and parody them very talentedly. However, the girl's playfulness did not develop into something indecent. On the contrary, brought up in a Christian spirit, Anastasia turned into a creature that delighted and comforted all those close to her around her. When Anastasia worked in the hospital during the war, they began to say about her that even the wounded and sick dance in the presence of the princess, before that she was beautiful and cheerful. However, when necessary, she was a sincere sympathizer and comforter. In the hospital, Anastasia Romanova prepared bandages and sewed for the wounded and their families. She did it with Maria. Then they lamented for a couple that, due to their age, they could not, like their older sisters, fully be sisters of mercy. Visiting the wounded soldiers, with her charm and wit, Anastasia Nikolaevna made them forget about the pain for a while, she consoled all those who were suffering with her kindness and tenderness.
Among the wounded, with whom Anastasia managed to see, was Ensign Gumilev - the same Nikolai Gumilev, whom we know as a famous poet, a prominent representative of the "Silver Age". While in the infirmary, he dedicated the poem "To the birthday" to the princess. It was written on June 5, 1916 in the infirmary of the Grand Palace.
Years later, officers and soldiers who visited hospitals remembered the Grand Duchesses very warmly. The military, resurrecting those days, seemed to be illuminated by an unearthly light. The wounded soldiers were interested in the fate of the Grand Duchesses. Russian soldiers assumed that all four sisters would marry four Balkan princes. The Russian soldier wanted to see the princesses happy and prayed for them, giving them the crowns of the queens of European states. However, everything turned out quite differently ... The fate of Anastasia, like the fate of the entire Royal family, ended in the basement of the Ipatiev House. This is where the Romanov dynasty ended.
From the beginning of the 20s of the 20th century, girls constantly appeared in Europe posing as Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanova. All of them were impostors who had a desire to cash in on the grief of the Russian people. The fact is that all the royal gold was bequeathed to Anastasia Nikolaevna. Therefore, there were adventurers who wanted to lay their hands on him.

Tsesarevich Alexei.

Tsarevich Alexei was the fifth child in the family of Nicholas II, and truly long-awaited. From the first days of his reign, the Sovereign dreamed of an heir, but the Lord sent him only daughters. The entire royal family fervently prayed for the birth of a boy. Soon after the glorification of the Monk Seraphim of Sarov, whom the Tsar greatly revered, the Empress informed her husband that they would have a child. The family believed that it was through the prayers of Saint Seraphim that God answered their prayers.
Tsesarevich Alexei was born on August 12, 1904. How to name the newborn, the royal couple did not even think about it. Nicholas II had long wanted to name his future heir Alexei. The tsar said that "it's time to break the line of Alexandrov and Nikolaev." Also, Nicholas II was sympathetic to the personality of Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov, and the emperor wanted to name his son in honor of the great ancestor.
Tsarevich Alexei inherited all the best from his father and mother. His parents loved him very much, and he answered them with great reciprocity. Father was a real hero for Alexei Nikolaevich. The young prince tried to imitate him in everything. The young Tsarevich Alexei possessed fine hair, large gray-blue eyes, the skin of the face was pale pink, and charming dimples were visible on chubby cheeks. When a smile shone on the face of the prince, it could not be called anything other than angelic.
A few years after the birth of the Heir, it turned out that he was sick with an incurable disease - hemophilia. He could bleed to death at any moment; any, even a slight bruise caused him great suffering. The illness of Tsarevich Alexei was a terrible blow to the Imperial family and the entire state.
Every care was taken to protect the child from injury, but he was a very playful boy and wanted to play all the games that other children played.
Despite his illness, Tsarevich Alexei grew up as an unpretentious child. He did not act up, did not show any malice or irritation. He loved people very much, tried to help them, never remained indifferent. The prince was especially sorry for those who, in his opinion, were unjustly offended. Alexei said that when he reigns, there will be no poor and unfortunate people in Russia. The little prince said: "I want everyone to be happy." In communication Alexey was sincere and simple. Most of all he disliked lies. The prince had a decisive, but at the same time soft and affectionate character. Alyosha loved everything Russian very much, he was a real patriot.
Tsarevich Alexei was the chief of all Cossack troops. The Cossacks were very fond of their young ataman and their future Emperor. General Pyotr Nikolaevich Krasnov described one incident that occurred at a time when the Heir was only a year and a half. In January 1907, Nicholas II decided to show the son of the Life Guards to the Ataman Regiment, where Krasnov served. When the Emperor and Tsarevich Alexei passed by the Cossacks, Krasnov noticed how the sabers of the Cossacks from his hundred swayed. Annoyance appeared in Krasnov's heart. "Are you tired!" - he thought and went after the Sovereign. Suddenly the standard leaned down. Finally indignant, Krasnov looked at the standard-bearer and saw that tears were flowing down the face of the stern wahmister. The Sovereign and the Heir walked along the line of the Cossacks, and the soldiers were crying, that's why the drafts were swinging in the mighty Russian hands ... "I could not and did not want to stop this swing," Krasnov recalled. Alexei also loved his warriors. Once, at the age of six, he was playing enthusiastically with his sisters, and then he was informed that the Cossacks had come. The prince immediately stopped all games and received guests.
Tsarevich Alexei recognized only soldiers from toys. He really liked to mess around with them. The Tsarevich also liked the soldier's food.
What was given at the royal table, Alexei did not always eat. Secretly from his parents, he ran away to the royal kitchen, where he asked for black bread and ordinary cabbage soup. “My beloved soldiers eat such food,” said the prince, “I want it like they do.”
The heir grew up. He needed to learn a lot to become a worthy king. But illness prevented Alyosha from taking up science seriously.
One day, the prince carelessly jumped into the boat, and he began to bleed internally.
The disease was very difficult, but the Tsarevich survived. After the final recovery, he sat down to study in earnest. As the teachers noted, the Heir was very smart and, like his sister Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna, he grasped everything on the fly.
Soon the revolution broke out. The villains first arrested the royal family, and then brutally killed her. Alexei died like a warrior - from bullets and bayonets.

8. Word of the teacher. In 2000, the Russian Orthodox Church ranked the Romanov family among the holy martyrs. Now in many churches we can approach the icon of the Holy Royal Martyrs. They knew what difficulties, sorrows were, they hear our sighs for them. a city that the imperial family often visited. I think it's time to go to this temple.
Children, today you learned a lot of interesting things about the life of the Romanov family.
Reflection. What information about the life of the imperial children enriched your knowledge? What did you learn about family traditions in the Royal Family? What conclusions could you draw from the culture of family education? What helps to keep the family together?
I would like you to remember the words of the apostle Paul:

“Love is long-suffering, merciful, love does not envy, love does not exalt itself, does not pride itself, does not behave violently, does not seek its own, is not irritated, does not think evil, does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; He covers everything, believes everything, hopes everything, endures everything, love never ceases, although prophecies will cease, and tongues will be silent, and knowledge will be abolished.

Self-analysis of educational activities.
The event was relevant, since the family is the foundation of the state, the heiress of moral, spiritual customs, traditions, and cultural values.
It was aimed at forming a value attitude to national history, understanding the ideals of faith and piety on the example of the personalities of members of the Holy Royal Family of Emperor Nicholas II.
The children got acquainted with the traditions of family education on the example of the Royal Family of the Romanovs.

Today I will tell you about the royal family of Nicholas II. The last Russian emperor, the eldest son of Emperor Alexander III, who was born in Tsarskoye Selo. Nicholas II was the eldest son of Empress Maria Feodorovna and Emperor Alexander III. Nicholas II most often lived with his family in the Alexander Palace. And he preferred to relax in the Livadia Palace in the Crimea. For annual trips to the Baltic Sea and the Finnish Sea, he had at his disposal the Shtandart yacht.
(Slide #1)

His wife Alexandra Feodorovna was the granddaughter of the Queen Victoria .
(Slide number 2)

The coronation took place in Assumption Cathedral Moscow Kremlin. In the history of Russia, this was the last wedding to the Kingdom. During the coronation, Nicholas II was dressed in a military uniform, and Empress Alexandra Feodorovna - in a luxurious dress made of silver brocade. The coronation dress, in which the last Russian Empress Alexandra Feodorovna appeared in the Kremlin, began to be created almost a year before the ceremony. During the procession, the train of the dress was carried by seven chamberlains. The weight of the dress, which was sewn from luxurious heavy dense brocade, was 10 kilograms. The coronation mantle weighed another 13 kilograms. Several hours spent in such attire, became for Alexandra Feodorovna, apparently, a difficult test.
(Slide number 3)

Five children were born in this family (Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia, Alexei)
Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna Romanova was the first child in the family Nicholas II . Parents could not get enough of the appearance of the child. Olga Nikolaevna Romanova distinguished herself by her abilities in the study of sciences, she loved solitude and books. The Grand Duchess was very smart, she had creative abilities. Olga behaved with everyone simply and naturally. The princess was surprisingly responsive, sincere and generous. First daughterAlexandra Fedorovna Romanova , inherited from her mother facial features, posture, as well as hair of a golden hue. From Nikolai Alexandrovich, the daughter inherited the inner world.
Grand Duchess Tatyana Nikolaevna Romanova was the second child inthe Romanov couple . Like Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna , Tatyana outwardly resembled her mother, but her character was paternal. Tatyana Nikolaevna Romanova was less emotional than her sister. Tatyana's eyes were similar to the eyes of the Empress, the figure was graceful, and the color of blue eyes harmoniously combined with brown hair. Tatyana was rarely naughty, and had amazing, according to contemporaries, self-control. Tatyana Nikolaevna had a highly developed sense of duty and a penchant for order in everything.
(Slide number 4-5)
Maria Nikolaevna Romanova became the third child of the Emperor and Empress. Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna Romanova was a typical Russian girl. She was characterized by good nature, gaiety, and affability. Maria had a beautiful appearance and vitality.
Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova was the fourth child in the emperor's family. The sovereign had been waiting for an heir for a long time, and when the daughter turned out to be the long-awaited fourth child, he was saddened. Soon the sadness passed, and the Emperor loved the fourth daughter, no less than his other children.
(Slide number 6)
Tsarevich Alexei, was the fifth child infamily of Nicholas II . Alexei was a long-awaited child. From the first days of his reign, Nicholas II dreamed of an heir. The entire royal family fervently prayed for the birth of a boy. Tsarevich Alexei inherited all the best from his father and mother. Parents loved the heir very much, he answered them with great reciprocity. The father was a real idol for Alexei Nikolaevich. The young prince tried to imitate him in everything. The royal couple did not even think about how to name the newborn prince. Nicholas II had long wanted to name his future heir Alexei.
(Slide number 7-8)

The main residence of Nicholas II and his family was the Alexander Palace, in Tsarskoe Selo (the city of Pushkin.) The Alexander Palace was built by order of Empress Catherine II as a gift for the marriage of her grandson, Grand Duke Alexander Pavlovich ..
(Slide number 9)

The life of the family was not luxurious for the purpose of education - the parents were afraid that wealth and bliss would spoil the character of the children. Imperial daughters lived two in a room. In the younger sisters' room, the walls were painted in grey colour, the ceiling is painted with butterflies, the furniture is designed in white and green colors, it is simple. The girls slept on folding army beds, each labeled with the owner's name, under thick monogrammed blue blankets. This tradition came from the time of Catherine the Great. The walls were decorated with icons and photographs; the girls liked to take pictures themselves, made mainly in Livadia.In the bedroom of the Tsesarevich there was a kiot with six compartments, most of the icons were icons of St. Alexis, Metropolitan of Moscow; there was also great amount crosses and scapulars, there were many liturgical books.
(Slide number 10-14)

Parents tried to keep the children constantly busy with something useful, girls were taught to needlework. The education of children usually began when they reached the age of 8. The first subjects were reading, calligraphy, arithmetic, the Law of God. Later, languages ​​\u200b\u200bare added to this - Russian, English, French, and even later - German. Dancing, playing the piano, good manners, natural sciences and grammar were also taught to the imperial daughters. Imperial daughters were ordered to get up at 8 o'clock in the morning, take a cold bath. Breakfast at 9 o'clock, second breakfast - at one or half past one on Sundays. At 5 pm - tea, at 8 - common dinner.
(Slide number 15-17)

The royal children, like ordinary children, loved games, which in the old days were called fun.
(Slide #18-21)

Let's look at what toys they liked to play with. The decoration of the Playing Room suggests that it is by no means a sick child who spends time here - this is a room of an active inquisitive teenager filled with various toys, educational games, weapon models, aircraft models. Expensive dolls - dressed like their little mistresses, in lace, silk and cambric, in hats and bonnets with flowers and bows of a beauty with long curls and closing eyes - were kept in closed cabinets and taken out on special occasions. For everyday play, there were simpler dolls - inexpensive German dolls, papier-mâché dolls from England and Russian production, including artisanal; it even happened that individual heads were bought, and the bodies were made independently.
(Slide #22-24)

Summer trips to the Crimea were a great joy for the Tsar's Children. During these short journeys, the sailors taught the Children to swim. But besides swimming, there was a lot of joy in these trips: boating, trips to the coast, to the islands, where you could mess around, pick mushrooms. And how many interesting things are on the yachts and ships that accompanied them! Rowing and sailing boat races, fireworks on the islands.
(Slide number 25)

The whole family loved animals. In addition to dogs and a cat, they had a donkey Vanka, with whom Tsesarevich Alexei loved to play. Vanka was an incomparable, intelligent and funny animal. When they wanted to give Alexei Nikolayevich a donkey, they turned to the circus for a long time, but to no avail. And soon the circus agreed to give the old donkey, which, due to decrepitude, was no longer suitable for performances. And in this way, “Vanka” appeared at the Court, fully appreciating, apparently, the palace stables. He greatly amused the children, as he knew many of the most incredible tricks. He turned his pockets inside out with great dexterity, hoping to find sweets in them. He found a special charm in old rubber balls, which he casually chewed.
(Slide number 26)

In this family there was an alternation of various activities, observing a strict regimen. Lessons started at 9 o'clock with a break between 11 o'clock and noon. During this break, a walk was made in a carriage, sleigh or car, then classes were resumed until breakfast, until one in the afternoon. After breakfast, the children always spent two hours outdoors. The Grand Duchesses and the Sovereign, when he was free, joined them, and Alexei Nikolaevich had fun with his sisters, descending from an icy mountain, which was built on the shore of a small artificial lake. In their free time, the children loved to arrange theatrical performances. But besides entertainment, they did not forget about work.
(Slide number 27)

The day ended with reading a book - this was also a family tradition. Alexandra Feodorovna personally taught all the Children the Law of God (read prayers), Alexei Nikolaevich - geography and history, Princess Olga Nikolaevna - Her younger Sisters and Brother English language And also, they studied arithmetic and Russian grammar, my father studied Russian reading with Alexei.
(Slide number 28)

Nicholas II owned a large number of books. The library, which belonged to the private quarters of the last Russian emperor in the Winter Palace. The main role in the design of the library is played by bookcases located along the walls, where the staircase leads. On the table is a sculptural portrait of Nicholas II.
(Slide #29)

Love lived in this family: the love of parents for children, children for parents, love for God, love for the Motherland and their home, love for all living things. The emperor's family was shot at night. They were considered enemies of the people, but this was a mistake.
(Slide number 30)
After their death, it was decided to canonize the whole family.
(Slide number 31)

When trouble broke out, there was both sorrow and grief. But God showed consolation: the most difficult thing for the Family is separation. He didn't allow it.
If there is grief in the house, it brings relatives closer. It makes everyone more patient with each other, more kind, caring, persistent. Trials are not sent to us to destroy us. We must become real people. God wants us to be cleansed from all evil and become like Him. With faith, life becomes easier!
All Sovereigns from the Romanov family grew up as educated people, accustomed from an early age to be proud of their ancestors and be responsible for the great heritage - Russia, which they inherited from these ancestors.
The whole Family lived in great friendship among themselves and found within themselves love and firmness to endure and endure with patience and meekness the coming for her hard days. Evil will not conquer evil, but only love - with these words I will finish the story of the Holy Family, the like of which we will not find in world history.

Final part:
-Guys, what do you think is the most precious thing in the life of each of us?
-What should be real family?
-What should not be lost even in the most difficult moments of life?
What makes life easier in the world?
- Do you have traditions in your family that you follow?
(children's answers)

- And now I suggest you do something nice for your parents. Let's draw portraits of our moms and dads and give them to our dear ones.

Introduction by the teacher. Today we will remember the Holy Royal Passion-Bearers: the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II, Empress Alexandra Feodorovna and the royal children: Tsarevich Alexy and Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia. The fate of the last representatives of the Romanov dynasty is one of the difficult to study, tragic and mysterious pages of Russian history. The memory of the royal martyrs evokes more and more love and sympathy in the hearts of people every day. In 2013, Russia celebrated the 400th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty, the dynasty that created the powerful Russian Empire and gave the world Orthodox saints, including the holy Emperor Nicholas II.

slide 4. “Such a clear path leads to holiness” A.F. Romanova

Slide 5. The future Emperor of All Russia Nicholas II was born on May 6 (18), 1868, on the day of the holy righteous Job the Long-suffering. He was the eldest son of Emperor Alexander III and his wife Empress Maria Feodorovna. The upbringing he received under the guidance of his father was strict, almost harsh. “I need normal healthy Russian children”- such a requirement was put forward by the Emperor to the educators of his children. And such an upbringing could only be Orthodox in spirit. Even as a small child, the Heir to the Tsarevich showed a special love for God, for His Church. He received a very good education at home - he knew several languages, studied Russian and world history, was deeply versed in military affairs, and was a widely erudite person.

Slide 6. Empress Alexandra Feodorovna (Princess Alisa Victoria Elena Louise Beatrice) was born on May 25 (June 7), 1872 in Darmstadt, the capital of a small German duchy. Alice's father was Ludwig, Grand Duke of Hesse-Darmstadt, and her mother was Princess Alice of England, the third daughter of Queen Victoria. In infancy, Princess Alice - at home her name was Alix - was a cheerful, lively child, receiving the nickname "Sunny" (Sunny) for this. The children of the Hessian couple - and there were seven of them - were brought up in deeply patriarchal traditions. Their life passed according to the rules strictly established by their mother, not a single minute should have passed without work. The clothes and food of the children were very simple. The girls themselves lit the fireplaces, cleaned their rooms. Mother tried from childhood to instill in them qualities based on a deeply Christian approach to life.

Slide 7. The first meeting of the sixteen-year-old Heir Tsarevich Nikolai Alexandrovich and the very young Princess Alice took place in 1884, when her elder sister Elizabeth, married the Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich, uncle of the Tsarevich.

Slide 8. A strong friendship developed between the young people, which then turned into a deep and ever-growing love. When in 1889, having reached the age of majority, the Heir turned to his parents with a request to bless him for marriage with Princess Alice, his father refused, citing the youth of the Heir to refuse. I had to come to terms with my father's will. In 1894, the unshakable determination of the son, usually gentle and even timid in communication with his father, Emperor Alexander III gives his blessing for marriage. The only obstacle was the transition to Orthodoxy - according to Russian laws, the bride of the Heir to the Russian throne must be Orthodox. On October 20, Emperor Alexander III died. The next day, in the palace church of the Livadia Palace, Princess Alice was joined to Orthodoxy through Chrismation, receiving the name Alexandra Feodorovna.

Slide 9. Despite the mourning for the father, it was decided not to postpone the marriage, but it took place in the most modest atmosphere on November 14, 1894. The days of family happiness that followed were soon replaced by the need for the new Emperor to take on the entire burden of governing the Russian Empire.

Slide 10. The guide for Emperor Nicholas II was his father's political testament: “I bequeath you to love everything that serves the good, honor and dignity of Russia. Protect autocracy, remembering that you you are responsible for the fate of your subjects before the Throne of the Most High. Faith in God and the holiness of your royal duty be the foundation of your life for you. Be firm and courageous, never show weakness. Listen to everyone, there is nothing shameful in this, but listen to yourself and your conscience.

Slide 11. From the very beginning of his reign as a power of the Russian Emperor Nicholas II treated the performance of the duties of the monarch as a sacred duty. The sovereign deeply believed that even for the one hundred million Russian people, royal power was and remains sacred. He always had the idea that the Tsar and Tsaritsa should be closer to the people, see them more often and trust them more.

slide 12. The year 1896 was marked by coronation celebrations in Moscow. Crowning the kingdom - major event in the life of a monarch, especially when he is imbued with a deep faith in his vocation. The sacrament of chrismation was performed over the royal couple - as a sign that, as there is no higher, there is no harder on earth royal power, there is no burden heavier than royal service, the Lord ... will give strength to our kings. From that moment on, the Sovereign felt like a true Anointed One of God. Betrothed to Russia since childhood, he seemed to have married her that day. And the Sovereign considered the preservation of the Orthodox faith to be one of his most important duties.

slide 13. A year after the wedding, on November 3, 1895, the first daughter, Grand Duchess Olga, was born; it was followed by the birth of three daughters full of health and life, who were the joy of their parents, Grand Duchesses Tatiana (May 29, 1897), Maria (June 14, 1899) and Anastasia (June 5, 1901).

slide 14. But this joy was not without an admixture of bitterness: cherished desire The royal couple was the birth of the Heir. The long-awaited event took place on August 12, 1904, a year after the pilgrimage of the Royal Family to Sarov.

slide 15. A few weeks after the birth of Tsarevich Alexy, it turned out that he was ill with hemophilia. The child's life hung in the balance all the time: the slightest bleeding could cost him his life.

Slide 16-17 . From the very beginning, the upbringing of the children of the Imperial family was imbued with the spirit of the Orthodox faith. All its members lived in accordance with the traditions of Orthodox piety. However, the personal religiosity of Sovereign Nikolai Alexandrovich, and especially his wife, was something indisputably more than simple adherence to traditions.

slide 18. The royal couple not only visits temples and monasteries during their many trips, venerates miraculous icons and relics of saints, she is a true example of a righteous life.

slide 19. The desire to introduce Christian religious and moral principles of one's worldview into public life has always distinguished the foreign policy of Emperor Nicholas II.

slide 20. But, despite the sincere desire of the Sovereign for peace, during his reign Russia had to participate in two bloody wars that led to internal unrest.

Slide 21. In 1904, without declaring war, Japan began hostilities against Russia - the result of this difficult war for Russia was the revolutionary turmoil of 1905. The Sovereign perceived the unrest that took place in the country as a great personal grief ...

slide 22. Russia was at that time at the pinnacle of glory and power: industry developed at an unprecedented pace, the army and navy became more and more powerful, and agrarian reform was successfully implemented. It seemed that all internal problems would be safely resolved in the near future. But this was not destined to come true: the First World War was brewing.

On July 19 (August 1), 1914, Germany declared war on Russia, which soon became a pan-European war.

slide 23. The sovereign regularly travels to Headquarters, visits various sectors of his huge army, dressing stations, military hospitals, rear factories - in a word, everything that played a role in waging this grandiose war.

slide 24. The Empress dedicated herself to the wounded from the very beginning.

Slide 25-26. Having completed the courses of sisters of mercy, together with her eldest daughters, the Grand Duchesses Olga and Tatyana, she nursed the wounded for several hours a day in her Tsarskoye Selo infirmary, remembering that the Lord requires to love works of mercy.

slide 27. On February 22, the Sovereign left for Headquarters - this moment served as a signal for the enemies of order. They managed to sow panic in the capital because of the impending famine.

slide 28. The next day, unrest began in Petrograd, caused by interruptions in the supply of grain, they soon developed into a strike under political slogans - "Down with the war", "Down with the autocracy." Attempts to disperse the demonstrators were unsuccessful. In the meantime, there were debates in the Duma with sharp criticism of the government - but first of all, these were attacks against the Sovereign. In the capital came complete anarchy. Only Petrograd and its environs were embraced by the revolution, while the authority of the Tsar among the people and in the army was still great. Everyone around the Sovereign convinced him that abdication was the only way out. The commanders of the fronts especially insisted on this.

slide 29. After long and painful reflections, the Emperor made a hard-won decision: to abdicate both for himself and for the Heir, in view of his incurable illness, in favor of his brother, Grand Duke Mikhail Alexandrovich. The sovereign left the supreme power and high command as a Tsar, as a warrior, as a soldier, not forgetting his high duty until the last minute.

slide 30. His Manifesto is an act of the highest nobility and dignity.

The Provisional Government announced the arrest of Emperor Nicholas II and his August wife and their detention in Tsarskoye Selo. For the last time, Nicholas II turned to his troops, calling on them to be loyal to the Provisional Government, the very one that arrested him, to fulfill their duty to the Motherland until complete victory. The farewell order to the troops, which expressed the nobility of the Sovereign's soul, his love for the army, faith in it, was hidden from the people by the Provisional Government, which banned its publication.

slide 31. Born on the day of commemoration of the holy righteous Job the Long-suffering, the Sovereign accepted his cross in the same way as the biblical righteous man, endured all the trials sent down to him firmly, meekly and without a shadow of grumbling. It is this long-suffering that is revealed with particular clarity in history. last days Emperor. “The king of our righteous and pious life. God sent Him a heavy cross of suffering, as His chosen one and beloved child. Holy Righteous John of Kronstadt.

slide 32. On March 9, the Emperor, who had been arrested the day before, was transported to Tsarskoye Selo, where the whole family was impatiently waiting for him. An almost five-month period of indefinite stay in Tsarskoye Selo began. The days passed measuredly - in regular worship, joint meals, walks, reading and communication with loved ones. However, at the same time, the life of the prisoners was subjected to petty constraints - the Sovereign was declared A.F. Kerensky, that he should live separately and see the Empress only at the table, and speak only in Russian. Guard soldiers in a rude form made remarks to him, access to the palace of persons close to the Imperial family was forbidden. Once, the soldiers even took away a toy gun from the Heir under the pretext of a ban on carrying weapons.

The Provisional Government appointed a commission to investigate the activities of the Emperor, but despite all efforts to find at least something discrediting the Tsar, nothing was found - the Tsar was innocent. When his innocence was proved, and it became obvious that there was no crime behind him, the Provisional Government, instead of releasing the Sovereign and his August wife, decided to remove the prisoners from Tsarskoye Selo.

Slide 33-34. On the night of August 1, they were sent to Tobolsk - this was done allegedly in view of possible unrest, the first victim of which could be the Royal Family. In fact, by doing so, the family was doomed to the cross, for at that time the days of the Provisional Government itself were numbered.

slide 35. On July 30, the day before the departure of the royal family for Tobolsk, the last Divine Liturgy was served in the royal chambers; For the last time, the former owners of their native home gathered to pray fervently, asking with tears, on their knees from the Lord, help and intercession from all troubles and misfortunes, and at the same time realizing that they were embarking on the path destined by the Lord Jesus Christ himself for all Christians: They will lay hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to prison, and will bring you before the rulers for my name's sake (Luke 21:12). During this liturgy, the entire royal family and their already very small servants prayed.

Song "Prayer of the Royal Family". (Attachment 1)

Slide 36. On August 6, the Royal prisoners arrived in Tobolsk. The first weeks of the royal family's stay in Tobolsk were perhaps the calmest for the entire period of their imprisonment. On September 8, the day of the feast of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos, the prisoners were allowed to go to church for the first time. Subsequently, this consolation very rarely fell to their lot. One of the greatest hardships during my life in Tobolsk was the almost complete absence of any news. Letters arrived with a huge delay. As for the newspapers, one had to be content with a local sheet printed on brown paper and giving only old telegrams several days late, and even those most often appeared here in a distorted and truncated form. The emperor watched with alarm the events unfolding in Russia. He understood that the country was rapidly heading towards destruction.

Slide 37. The letters and diaries of members of the Imperial family testify to the deep experience of the tragedy that unfolded before their eyes. But this tragedy does not deprive the Royal prisoners of strength of mind, faith and hope for God's help.

“It is incredibly hard, sad, insulting, ashamed, but do not lose faith in God's mercy. He will not leave his homeland to perish. We must endure all these humiliations, nasty things, horrors with humility (since we are unable to help). And He will save, long-suffering and many-merciful - He will not be angry to the end... Without faith it would be impossible to live...

How happy I am that we are not abroad, but we are experiencing everything with her [Motherland]. As you want to share everything with your beloved sick person, to survive everything and follow him with love and excitement, so it is with the Motherland. slide 38. I felt like her mother for too long to lose this feeling - we are one and share grief and happiness. She hurt us, offended us, slandered us... but we still love her deeply and want to see her recover, like a sick child with bad, but also good qualities, and the motherland ...

I firmly believe that the time of suffering is passing, that the sun will again shine over the long-suffering Motherland. After all, the Lord is merciful - He will save the Motherland ... ”- the Empress wrote.

Slide 39-41. There is much less evidence left about the Yekaterinburg period of imprisonment of the Imperial Family. Almost no letters. Basically, this period is known only from brief entries in the diary of the Emperor and the testimony of witnesses in the case of the murder of the Royal Family. The living conditions in the “house of special purpose” were much more difficult than in Tobolsk. As soon as the Sovereign and Empress arrived at Ipatiev's house, they were subjected to a humiliating and rude search. The royal couple and the princesses had to sleep on the floor, without beds. At dinner, a family of seven was given only five spoons; The guards sitting at the same table smoked, brazenly exhaling smoke in the faces of the prisoners, and rudely took away their food. A walk in the garden was allowed once a day, at first for 15-20 minutes, and then no more than five. The behavior of the guards was completely obscene. The faith of the prisoners supported their courage, gave them strength and patience in suffering. Almost completely isolated from outside world, the prisoners of the Ipatiev House show amazing nobility and clarity of spirit.

Slide 42. In one of Olga Nikolaevna's letters there are the following lines: “Father asks me to tell all those who remained devoted to him, and those on whom they can have influence, so that they do not avenge him, since he forgave everyone and for everyone prays, and that they do not avenge themselves, and that they remember that the evil that is now in the world will be even stronger, but that it is not evil that will overcome evil, but only love.

Slide 43. On the night of July 16-17, around the beginning of the third, Yurovsky woke up the Tsar's family. They were told that the city was unsettled and that it was necessary to move to a safe place. Forty minutes later, when everyone was dressed and gathered, Yurovsky, together with the prisoners, went down to the first floor and led them to a basement room with one barred window. All were outwardly calm. The sovereign carried Alexei Nikolaevich in his arms, the rest had pillows and other small things in their hands. At the request of the Empress, two chairs were brought into the room, pillows brought by the Grand Duchesses and Anna Demidova were placed on them. The Empress and Alexei Nikolaevich were seated on chairs. The Sovereign stood in the center next to the Heir. The rest of the family and servants were placed in different parts of the room and prepared to wait a long time - they were already accustomed to nightly alarms and all sorts of movements. Meanwhile, armed men were already crowding in the next room, waiting for the killer's signal.

Slide 44-45. At that moment, Yurovsky came very close to the Sovereign and said: “Nikolai Alexandrovich, by order of the Ural Regional Council, you and your family will be shot.” This phrase was so unexpected for the Tsar that he turned towards the family, stretching out his hands to them, then, as if wanting to ask again, he turned to the commandant, saying: “What? What?" The empress and Olga Nikolaevna wanted to cross themselves. But at that moment, Yurovsky fired at the Sovereign from a revolver almost point-blank several times, and he immediately fell. Almost at the same time, everyone else began to shoot, everyone knew their victim in advance. Those already lying on the floor were finished off with shots and bayonets. When it seemed that everything was over, Alexei Nikolaevich suddenly groaned weakly - they shot at him several more times. The picture was terrible: eleven bodies lay on the floor in streams of blood. After making sure that their victims were dead, the killers began to remove jewelry from them.

They will pass, monstrous years,
Fierce, bloody heel,
Shaking all kingdoms and nations
A wild, crazy dream.

They will pass, nightmares of tears and anguish,
Rebellious, criminal years,
Years of sorrow, deprivation and separation,
Shattered hopes forever.

They will pass, bearers of adversity,
Destroyed dreams of good,
And we will remember the forgotten God,
And about the murdered Angel-King.

The boors who have awakened will understand the deceit,
And, again huddling to the birthplaces,
The destroyed temples are rebuilt
And once again bow down to the desecrated gods...

Lighting a pood candle in front of the icon,
Calling in the tears of the Lord's Grace,
The people will begin with primordial humility
Remember your kings at services.
