First of all I would like to congratulate you for this wonderful blog and the amazing research work that you are doing ! Secondly, I would like to ask you what was the use of rooms 381-383 under Tsar Nicholas II and did really Alexander III used his appartment on the third floor?
ReplyDeleteThank you very much.
ReplyDelete381-383 was used for guests under Nicholas II. Alexander III did use the 3rd floor later in his reign when he had tried to restore the rooms to his grandfather Nicholas I time. He did sleep though on the 2nd floor when he had to stay overnight. The Kerensky narrative that he had slept in Alexander III's bed on the 3rd floor is incorrect.
Thanks for your answer ! :)
Deletedoes anyone know what room 382 (empress' diamond room) looked like? a description or a photograph (before or after the looting of the palace)?
ReplyDeleteThe diamond room #382 was dismantled and moved to the 1st floor in 1896.
ReplyDeletebut does anyone know what it actually looked like?
Deletei would imagine, IF there are any photos of it, they would have been taken after the looting of the palace -- similar to the photos of AF's wardrobe rooms.
