👑The Romanov Dynasty

The Grand Duchy of Moscow under Prince Ivan III was the first unified state on Russian territory. With him began the Rurikid Dynasty (the Rurikid had been around for a long time along hoards of tartars).

The Rurikid ruled from the 1400s until the 1600s. Ivan III can be considered the founder of Russia. While the Rurikid were in power, the Romanovs were boyars (nobles) in their courts. When the Ruriks became extinct, the Romanovs took over. The "Zemsky Sorbor" (a rudimentary parliament) elected Mikhail Feodorovich as the first Romanov Tzar.

The direct male line of the Romanovs ended with Elizabeth of Russia, who was childless. Her nephew Peter III, a member of the House of Holstein-Gottorp (a cadet branch of the German House of Oldenburg that reigned in Denmark), ascended to the throne and adopted his Romanov mother’s house name. Descendants after Elizabeth are sometimes referred to as "Holstein-Gottorp-Romanov."

The above is a gross oversimplification of a very complex course of events.

Highlights about each Romanov Tsar/Tsarina:

👑Mikhail Feodorovich (1613 - 1645): First Romanov Tsar

👑Alexei Mikhailovich (1645 - 1676): Encouraged trade and cooperation with Europe. Father of Peter the Great

👑Feodor III (1676 - 1682): Had very poor health and spent most of his reign in bed

👑Peter I and 👑 Ivan V (1689 - 1785): It was complicated. The two of them were Tsars under the regency of their older sister Sophia.

👑Peter I (1689-1725): Reformed Russia's politics, government, and culture. Made Russia a military power.

👑Catherine I (1725-1727): At the time of Peter the Great's death, the mechanism for succession consisted of the Tsar selecting his successor, but Peter did not elect one before dying. His wife became the Tsarina, but others governed through her.

👑Peter II (1727-1730): Peter's grandson; ascended the throne at 11 and died at 14. The "Privy Council" or "Soviet" ruled through him.

👑Anna Ioannovna (1730-1740): Daughter of Peter's half-brother Ivan. The Privy Council invited her to rule (wanting her to be a puppet), but she disbanded them and ruled herself successfully.

👑Ivan VI (1740-1741): One-year-old son of Ana's niece. She left the throne to him, expecting his mother to govern. Elizabeth, daughter of Peter the Great, deposed him (and his mother.)

👑Elizabeth Petrovna (1741-1761): Last Russian on the Russian throne; her twenty-year reign was successful.

👑Peter III (1761-1762): Grandson of Peter the Great and next in line for the throne after Elizabeth. Ruled for only half a year before being deposed by his wife, Catherine. He was murdered soon after the coup d’etat.

👑Catherine the Great (1762-1796): Her accomplishment went from the Empire’s territorial expansion to political development to the proliferation of sciences. However, the Empire had an enormous external debt by the end of her reign.

👑Paul I (1796-1801): Paul, the son of Catherine the Great and Peter III, became Emperor at 42 after the death of his mother. He started a lot of major military and political reforms. Paul was murdered in a coup d'etat. Paul decreed house laws for the Romanovs (the Pauline laws) – among the strictest in Europe – which established semi-Salic primogeniture and required Orthodox faith for the monarch and dynasts

👑Alexander I (1801-1825): During his reign, Russia defeated Napoleon's forces (which got as far as Moscow in their attempt to conquer Russia.) There was also great development in culture and arts.

👑Nicholas I (1825-1855): Paul I’s third son, younger brother of Alexander. Started railroad construction in Russia, boosting industrialization. Codified Russian laws and reformed finances.

👑Alexander II (1855-1881): His major reforms included the peasant emancipation of 1861, military reform, and the introduction of new types of self-governing village societies and more. Unfortunately, he fell victim to a terrorist after five attempts.

👑Alexander III (1881-1894): Russia didn’t enter any wars in his time. His domestic policy was conservative. He amended the Pauline laws. The economy flourished. But the revolution was brewing below the surface.

👑Nicholas II (1894-1917): His policies were unsuccessful. Established the first official Duma in 1905, but it was too little too late. With the advent of WWI, the Russian Empire ceased to exist. He abdicated. (gcl)

This is Peter the Great (the Russian tsar) and his jester Vanya. I really like that their height difference is almost similar to what it really was.

The Catherine Palace

The Catherine Palace is one of the largest in the vicinity of St. Petersburg. It is located in Pushkin (formerly Tsarskoye Selo), 25 kilometers south of St. Petersburg. The palace was built in 1717 as the summer residence of Empress Catherine I.

In 1752, Empress Elizabeth asked the architect Bartolomeo Francesco Rastrelli to rebuild the palace because she considered it too old-fashioned and small. The reconstruction lasted four years; the modern palace was completely rebuilt in the Russian Baroque style. The size of the Grand Palace is seen immediately. The final touch in the construction and decoration of the Catherine Palace was the Main Staircase in the Rococo style, created in 1863 by the Russian architect I. Monighetti.

After the Revolution, the Catherine Palace was turned into a museum. Today, 32 rooms of the palace are in exhibition. The most interesting place of the palace for tourists is the famous Amber room, restored in 2003. The main decoration of the Amber Room was made at the beginning of the XVIII century in Prussia, in 1716. It was presented by King Friedrich Wilhelm I to Peter I; in 1746, it was completed and fit in the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg in 1755, it was moved back to Tsarskoye Selo (see two photos of the Amber Room below.)

The Catherine Palace is as impressive inside as outside. The Great Hall (below), also known as the Hall of Light, measures nearly 1,000 square meters and occupies the full width of the palace so that there are superb views on either side. Using similar techniques but on a smaller scale, the White Dining Room is equally luxurious but, like many of the rooms in the palace, its grandeur is softened by the presence of a beautiful traditional blue-and-white tiled stove in the corner.

(I'm the one who asked about Delilah's death)

Sorry! I just was kind of confused by one line in her ballad.

"Her love of science was a curse, she wilted and was drawn by hearse."

Ah, then you may be onto something? Honestly my answer was almost solely based on the offical lore page. My own personal theories are liable to be entirely off. I go by vibes, y'know?

Along the same lines as my theory that it was actually Peter that resurrected her (which is mostly just for fun); if Thaddeus and all his creations were imprisoned after the Weekend War, how could he have possibly gotten his hands on more rock candy or green matter in order to bring her back to life? Not mention having access to Delilah's body.

After Delilah's death, Peter is described as having 'obsessive madness' and couldn't an obssesively mad man have thought (even briefly) that maybe there was something in his rival's theory?

I dunno, I dunno man, just a bit of fun, y'know.

if a character means enough to me i will truly never stop thinking about them. i just retire them into a little back room in my brain and periodically bring them out to stare at them under a little light
