Rector of the Church of the Ascension of the Lord in Gorokhovo Pole in Moscow Archpriest Vasily Golovanov has given personal items of the Holy Emperor Nicholas II to Livadia Palace in the south of Crimea, reported deputy of the Russian State Duma Natalia Poklonskaya.

“Some items which were used by Tsar Nicholas II himself are now returning to the museum of Livadia Palace, including the stationery from the holy emperor’s worktable: a stamp box, a small bell, a lion figurine on a stand along with bronze statuettes of Gottfried and Lohengrin,”1 N. Poklonskaya wrote in her “LiveJournal” blog.

According to her information, the items had been in private ownership until 2000 when they were presented to the rector of the Church of the Ascension of the Lord in Gorokhovo Pole in Moscow. “And now Archpriest Vasily Golovanov is gratuitously giving these unique historic pieces to the museum of Livadia Palace,” the deputy wrote.

The chief of Russia’s Military Orthodox Mission Igor Smykov helped deliver the pieces to Crimea. The ceremony of donation of the items to the palace took place on Wednesday. They will be placed on the writing desk of the holy tsar’s study on the first floor of the palace where they were originally kept.

The history of Russia and the Romanov dynasty are so closely interwoven other that any new facts connected with the royal family become a real discovery of national importance. Until recently we knew of two holy icons associated with the House of Romanov. But not long ago it became known that there was another, a third icon which shared the destiny of the Royal Martyrs.

Krupin notes in his letter to Russia's prime minister that "after the murder of Nicholas II, the Soviet government had blackened the name of the Emperor and wiped away his achievements. We want to remind Russians that during the reign of Nicholas II, Russia was a country of strength, power and prosperity. The exhibition project will contribute to the revival of the historical truth, because the history of Nicholas II, is still shrouded in many myths which we want to dispel."
