Historic site of the week: Tobolsk Kremlin

Tobolsk Kremlin is the easternmost kremlin (fortress) in Russia. It was built 1587 during the Russian conquest of Siberia. Most of the churches and buildings inside the kremlin date from the 17th-18th centuries.

“According to blessed Augustine, we must transform ourselves into love completely.  As God desired to bring the cosmos into existence for the sake of His love, so we must turn ourselves into love for Him in gratitude, only for the sake of God and His holy will.  The philosopher Epictetus taught something similar:

What does it mean to commit yourself to God?   This means that whatever God wants, His faithful creature wants as well.   Whatever He does not want, His faithful creature does not want, either.

However, this oneness of will between God and man could not occur if God  did not rule the cosmos through His providence.  Our faithfulness to God would not be genuine if we did not admit that everything that occurs in our life - both good and evil - occurs by God’s will or permission.”

~St. John of Tobolsk

what is your dream rare photograph you wish you or someone will come across one day?

Hi anon! This is a GREAT question! As a photo and footage collector, any new photo of royals that you come across is a literal DREAM so when you have seen most of the photos out there, rares can be a true blessing. I definitely have a solid favorite that I would love to share!

Any photos of NAOTMAA at Yekaterinburg. I would SELL MY SOUL for photos of the Romanov Family during their final months at the House of Special Purpose. There are two surviving photos of Olga, Tatiana, Anastasia, and Alexei on the steamer Arya on the way to Yekaterinburg (which are the last photos taken of them) but there are probably no photos of them at the house because their cameras were confiscated upon arrival (or so I was told). I will always have hope that there are surviving photos in the archives or that there are some floating around.

Thank you for asking! 🤍

Anastasia Nikolaevna and Mr. Gibbes

"Through the years he preserved from Tobolsk two cheap exercise books, each labelled ‘English’. ‘M. Romanof’ had written her name on one label. The other book belonged to 'A. Romanova (Shut Up!) Tobolsk 1917-1918.’ Grand Duchess Anastasia, more exuberantly talkative than her sisters, seized on one of Gibbes’s exasperated moments. When he told her to shut up, she asked him how to spell it and adopted it as her nickname."
