Description

Start the revolution: Official document signed by Nicholas II, Russia’s last czar

The last czar 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. Manuscript DS, in Russian, one page both sides, 8.5 x 14, November 22, 1904. An untranslated official document. Small losses to one edge (near but not touching signature), otherwise fine, clean condition. RRAuction COA.
