Elizaveta Feodorovna and The Martha-Mary Convent
After her husband's assassination by a terrorist in 1905, Grand Duchess Elizaveta Feodorovna sold her jewels and used the proceeds to found a unique convent in Moscow - the Martha and Mary Community of Mercy. Learn about the life and tragic fate of the convent and its founder, Elizaveta Feodorovna, granddaughter of Queen Victoria and sister of the last Russian empress.
In this "Second Saturday" online lecture, Dr. Louise Hardiman explores the rich artistic history of the convent church and its cultural contexts, encompassing the national artistic revival in late imperial Russian art and the history of British-Russian relations. The presentation features unique artifacts from the Russian History Museum collection.

Hello Hannah and Team I have just recently completed listening to your entire playlist and there are just not enough superlatives to describe my appreciation for the scholarship of your staff and guests. Speaking of rabbit holes, I was browsing the body of work of Nesterov [I had not heard of him] and was struck to identify the portrait of Ivan Ilyin. I have read that he is high on the list of recommended reading by President Putin I recently read his 1925 work “On Resistance to Evil By Force”. From Chapter 2 Ilyin: “In fact, what would “non-resistance” [to evil] mean, in the sense of the absence of any resistance? This would mean accepting evil: letting it in and giving it freedom, scope and power. If under these conditions the uprising of evil occurred, and non-resistance continued, it would mean subordination to it, a surrender of the self to it, participation in it, and finally, turning oneself into its instrument, into its body, into its cesspool, its playing, an absorbed element thereof.”
Um, Nicholas and family left not from Moscow, but from the Alexander Palace in Pushkin, 15 miles south of St. Petersburg......they were held in the round ballroom all night with luggage and finally around dawn they were taken to a train and shipped out. In diaries they remark about leaving from that particular room. It must have been so sad for them to say good-bye to their home.
Thank you Hannah and the RHM Team for facilitating this lecture, and thank you Louise for condensing your countless hours of research into a thoroughly informative and entertaining lecture. Apart from the very moving and tragic story of Elizaveta Feodorovna (rightly sainted as a New Martyr), I now have a new book to read - “Inside the Russian Revolution” by Rheta Louise Childe Dorr, and I was thrilled to learn so much about the artwork of Mikhail Nesterov in particular. Off down those rabbit holes now, with appreciation.

Why in the world would they murder a nun? She had no worldly ideas of politics. Cruel for no reason.

Why did they kill nun? So find out the true essence of modern globalism, which begins its bloody history with the world's first color Revolution, which took place in Russia in 1917 with the same overseas sponsors of all color revolutions in the world today on Wall Street today... starting from the World War I in 1914 and until the end of the World War II in 1945, in just 31 years they turned the whole world upside down, subjugating it to the dollar, which was the original goal of pushing the world into two world wars in this devilish plan, in which the death of one mohini, even of royal blood, was only a drop in the sea of human blood 50 million Europeans, whose lives were sacrificed in the ascent of the dollar under the crown to the top of the main currency of the world! The devil of dollar doesn't need monks... Let me remind you that Trotsky (the ideologist of the bloody revolutionary terror, whose victim was this nun) was a representative of US banks in the first communist government of the USSR

Why would they murder innocent children?
The nurses in the photo with Elizaveta flanked by two recuperating Russian soldiers might be GDs Olga and Tatiana, but I don't have any proof. The closer one looks like Tatiana.....they may have welcomed their aunt to the hospital where they volunteered, showed her around, and posed with her.
