For the first time after its attachment, Crimea will be visited by a representative of the imperial family of the Romanovs. Prince Dmitry Romanovich with his wife will visit the peninsula from August 25 to 28. They intend to visit places related to the history of the Russian Empire.
According to TASS, the couple will visit the Dulber Palace, from where representatives of the imperial dynasty after the events of 1917 were immigrated to Europe, as well as the Livadian and Massandra palaces. The members of the imperial family were promised to arrange a tour of the Navy base in Sevastopol.
Earlier, the prince approvingly spoke about the accession of Crimea to Russia. "The divine providence was also pleased that the Crimea, which the Grand Duke was forced to leave in April 1919, now returned to the bosom of Russia," he told Rossiy Gazeta in April.
Prince Dmitry Romanovich, who now lives in Denmark, is a grandson nephew to the last Russian emperor Nicholas II. He belongs to the branch of the "Nikolaevichs" of the Romanov clan, since he is the great -grandson of Nicholas I. He is considered one of the applicants for the title of the head of the Romanov House.
The second contender is Princess Maria Vladimirovna, the heiress of Vladimir Kirillovich Romanov, the son of the Russian Grand Duke Kirill Vladimirovich, who proclaimed himself in 1924 by the emperor in exile.
Kirill Vladimirovich, the cousin of Nicholas II, was deprived of all the rights of members of the imperial surname, including the rights to inherit the throne after the wedding at Princess Victoria Saxen-Koburg, not Orthodox and divorced. According to rumors , Maria Vladimirovna is not at all the dear daughter of Vladimir Kirillovich Romanov.
The visit of Dmitry Romanovich will be held against the backdrop of rumors about the possible return of the Romanovs to Russia. A month ago, the media appeared that the descendants of the Romanovs dynasty supposedly intend to turn to the Russian authorities with a request to give an official status to the imperial house and allocate a residence in Moscow. True, these rumors refuted these rumors in the Romanov’s house.
In mid -July, the prosecutor of Crimea Natalya Poklonskaya at the opening ceremony of the monument to Nicholas II in the village of Livadia on the southern coast of Crimea, said that the renunciation of the last Russian emperor from the throne has no legal force. For this, she was suspected of incompetence and criticized, including representatives of the current government in the Russian Federation.
