The consecration of the monument falls on the birthday of the Grand Duchess Olga Nicholayevna, who was born in 1895 [3 November Old Style).</small></p> <p><small>The monument was consecrated by the Metropolitan Vincent of Tashkent and the Uzbek, who previously served as the Metropolitan of Ekaterinburg. He noted that the idea of creating a memorial to the children of Nicholas II came to him just weeks before he was transferred to a new place of ministry. The statue created by sculptor, Igor Akimov, said that his work was created based on photographs and portraits of the Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia, and the Tsarevich Alexei.</small></p> <p><small>The height of the monument, “Royal Children” - stands nearly 3 meters, its weight - 2 tons. According to the sculptor of the monument, the children of Nicholas II descend from heaven on the inclined stone plinth, with crosses in their hands. They are huddled together and looking cautiously around. The expression on their innocent faces relates the fear they must have endured at the hands of their murderers.</small></p>http://notaboutnormal.tumblr.com/post/50727535553http://notaboutnormal.tumblr.com/post/50727535553Sat, 18 May 2013 09:50:35 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/c5ad567af136bda5091cfe3332925831/tumblr_mmymgnp5Hs1qj6273o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/5800b0ea79c6e5a2eb028797e96202bc/tumblr_mmymgnp5Hs1qj6273o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/2e9e91d682634ca0ac0332196c462478/tumblr_mmymgnp5Hs1qj6273o4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/a9eae6a08d6886ea67e2b35979c23f63/tumblr_mmymgnp5Hs1qj6273o5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/8d59c24503026872c6a93508ea781cd2/tumblr_mmymgnp5Hs1qj6273o6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a href="http://crafthunters.com/post/50712070082/just-do-it-dont-miss-our-new-craft-finds" class="tumblr_blog">crafthunters</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>Just do it!</p> <p>➡<span>Don’t miss our new</span><span> craft finds, inspirations</span><span> </span><span>& </span><span>DIY ideas! </span><span>Let’s crafthunt together!</span></p> <p><a href="http://crafthunters.com/"><span>Crafthunters</span><span> on Tumblr</span></a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CraftHunters">Crafthunters on Facebook </a> </p> <p><iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="//www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FCraftHunters.Russia&send=false&layout=standard&width=450&show_faces=true&font&colorscheme=light&action=like&height=80&appId=212256365463977"></iframe></p></blockquote>http://notaboutnormal.tumblr.com/post/50725704978http://notaboutnormal.tumblr.com/post/50725704978Sat, 18 May 2013 09:15:08 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/46ba3b0baaba4fab761f2ff4fe3cec04/tumblr_mmzkga28pV1qb0bzxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://allthingseurope.tumblr.com/post/50717763876" class="tumblr_blog">allthingseurope</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>Castello di Miramare, Italy (by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/secretgardens/8663201398">Rosarian49</a>)</p></blockquote>http://notaboutnormal.tumblr.com/post/50725302485http://notaboutnormal.tumblr.com/post/50725302485Sat, 18 May 2013 09:06:41 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/c71db90ba584f6604348a9352dacca3e/tumblr_mmznxfRc7r1qdhkl8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://notaboutnormal.tumblr.com/post/50725208002http://notaboutnormal.tumblr.com/post/50725208002Sat, 18 May 2013 09:04:41 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b162d86e96cff6702aa3dc6ffcdf81c3/tumblr_mmzdt3Y8Gv1qb7816o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://notaboutnormal.tumblr.com/post/50724266648http://notaboutnormal.tumblr.com/post/50724266648Sat, 18 May 2013 08:43:00 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/975e8d35a7e84d89b73a6af169d2e938/tumblr_mmzse1VSQo1qdj6pxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p> <span>Sandals, Tweedies (probably United States): ca. 1935, suede, kid leather, leather. | LACMA Collections</span></p> <p><a href="http://collections.lacma.org/node/186852"><a href="http://collections.lacma.org/node/186852">http://collections.lacma.org/node/186852</a></a></p>http://notaboutnormal.tumblr.com/post/50724202212http://notaboutnormal.tumblr.com/post/50724202212Sat, 18 May 2013 08:42:00 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mej0wb303t1qdg7hho2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mej0wb303t1qdg7hho1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><blockquote> <div> <div> <p><small><a href="http://bborgia.tumblr.com/tagged/headdressmode*">THE MODE IN HATS AND HEADDRESS</a>: <strong>Ancient Greek</strong></small></p> </div> </div> </blockquote>http://notaboutnormal.tumblr.com/post/50724160720http://notaboutnormal.tumblr.com/post/50724160720Sat, 18 May 2013 08:41:34 -0400
