The last Tsar of Russia (born 1868) who reigned from 1894 until his abdication in 1917. In the wake of the Russian Revolution, Nicholas, Empress Alexandra, and their children were imprisoned and finally executed on July 17, 1918. Though the ultimate fate of the Romanovs—and the putative survival of Princess Anastasia in particular—became the stuff of legend, recent research has confirmed that the executions were indeed carried out, and that the remains were soaked in acid and burned. DS, in Russian, one page, 8.75 x 14, February 19, 1905. Imperial Decree to the Chapter of Russian Imperial and Royal Orders, reading “In accordance with the testimony of the religious leadership concerning the over 50 years’ excellency spirited service of the archpriest of The Holy Trinity cathedral church in the city of Novomoskovsk [Iohannikiy Vakhnin] and of the more than 25-years’ labor in public education of deacons of the church: of the [Nikolaevsk] (church) of the village of Borisovka in the Yekaterinoslav district, Yakov Liadskiy, and of the Cossack village Staroshcherbatovskaya in the Kuban region, Gavril Vasiliev, We Most Graciously have enrolled them, in concordance with the approval of the Holy Synod, into Our Imperial Orders: Of Sainted Apostolic Prince Vladimir third class—archpriest Vakhin and Of Saint Anna third class—deacons Liadskiy and Vasiliev; in consequence of which We Command the Chapter to issue these enrolled persons the medal of the orders and documents for the above.” In fine condition, with some light toning and creasing. When all was said and done, 92 protesters were shot while peacefully making their way to the Tsar’s Winter Palace.
