THE ALEXANDER PALACE. THE EMPEROR'S LAST HOME

The Alexander Palace, located in the St. Petersburg suburb of Tsarskoye Selo, was a regular residence of Emperor Nicholas II and a home that was beloved by his family. It was here that they lived the happiest moments of their lives, as well as the most tragic. The history of the palace is also rather complex. The museum that was established here in 1918 was never refurbished after the war. The palace fell into the hands of various organizations. And it was only in the 21st century that the palace returned to the Tsarskoe Selo Museum and Reserve. Restoring the interiors based on photographs and documents, pieces of fabric and fragments of walls, took enormous effort, And today it is much easier for us to imagine how the family of the last Russian emperor lived during their time here.
