I loved your presentation and astute sleuthing deep into the subject. Good work, doc.

Why do you keep referring to Knebworth House as the place where GD Michael was living in the UK, when the photos clearly state Kenwood House?

He is incredibly handsome. Xx

Ask Philippa Langley, she will find Michael 🙂

A very profund gripping analysis of the Russian Emigration abroad, Thank you so much.

It’s a great translation (I read it 50 years ago and am going back to it now).

That pink room is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Thanks so much for showing these rooms. I'm fascinated and absolutely in love with this family.

Wonderful revelation of history little known, Thank you, look forward to learning more.

Many of the Russian crown jewels ended up in Ireland in the 1920s..... As collateral for a loan. The jewels were returned in the 1940s.

Thank you also. More more! Loved your perspective!

Thanks for this interesting introduction to "Former People" under the Russian revolution.

horrible reading rushing and many mistakes bad idea interesting topic

Fabulous ❤

Valdemer, not "Vladimir".

Your people killed the Holy Imperial Family! Shut your British mouth.

Thank you for this touching lecture. I have a friend, she was the first direct voted Member of Parliament with turkish ancestry, Lale was born in Idtanbul and came to Germany in 1965. In their street in Istanbul lived a old lady, a Countess, practically from the Donations of the neigborhood.

Thank you so much for your work

Wonderful story about your family, amazing pictures from the old Smolny Institute, and your presentation was really great!!! It was a privilege to find you here!!!!

interesting but your inability to pronounce the names of flowers ordinary flowers and religious terminology including iconostasis suggests your lack of reading and education

Technically, Grand Duke Michael was the last Czar. Initially, Czar Nicholas II suggested that he abdicate in favour of his son. However, he was then informed that if his son succeeded him he would be taken from his parents and live under the supervision of the new Government. That was not acceptable to the Czar, so he abdicated in favour of his brother Michael. However, Michael declined to accept, since he was aware that he would be a mere puppet, so he declined. However, the Crown did pass, briefly, to Michael, so he was the last Czar, even though he never reigned as such.

I think you mean harpsichords, clavecins, made by Tasquin, not pianos.

this is not about Russian art as it is almost exclusively about religious Russia hailing the byzantine era alone, playing down almost everything that follows with a completely irrelevant - so distant from what the title suggest - assault as usual how boring on bolshevism and omitting so much of great Russian art during the 19 cent. So here we are yet again having to endure the devout self satisfied sanctimonious western tradition of spitting on Russia. last time for me watching anything from this guy

Their life was so interesting and it is sad what happened to all the members of the imperial court. But it was crazy how much money they wasted while millions of people lived in complete poverty. That lavish lifestyle for these few people on the back of the very hard working poor majority had to stop. They have been even more decadent than the French nobility before the revolution. They obviously didn't learn their lesson.

Too bad Michael didnt stay in England. Had he done so he would have survived the soviet massacre .

That's what we call a bad lecturer!!! Jesus. Your class is just unbearable to hear

My husband is grand son of his GRANY HER SURNAME WAS de Pitteroff and had quoters, buildings ( burned in great fire) in Croatian city called Varaždin, Russian lower nobility.. Don't know much of it. But would love to know more

Z

How many Romanov family members were murdered outside of the last Czar's immediate family? How many other Romanov family relatives managed to escape Russia ?

She's going to prison for paying Kid Rock to kill me and so are you

Thank you for your interesting and enlightening lecture.

My rather distant cousin by marriage, Julia Dent Grant, married Prince Mikhail Mikhailovich Cantacuzène, Count Speransky in 1899. They fled revolutionary Russia with her jewelry sewn into her clothes. She wrote "Russian People; Revolutionary Recollections," (1919) "Revolutionary Days; Recollections of Romanoffs and Bolsheviki, 1914-1917," (1920) and "My Life Here and There" (1922).

many gay people are interested in all this

In what language did Michael keep his diaries? Thank you

Amazing historical royal figure

Oh

You guys farther around way too much for me.

why were there so many wood partions in the princesses rooms ?????

Who are Michael and Hannah?

Sad ,the ignorance by Nicholas .did not have a clue,did not even save his nice family,the sharks took Russia,the people have not had a break yet,brave but ignorant,stuborn untill death

Excellent Presentation. Thank You. Here is a Link about his son: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Mikhailovich,_Count_Brasov

It is a known fact that the Empress had a terrible influence over Nicholas III when he went to the front to tahe charge of the army leaving no one in charge of government. She took this opportunity to dismiss ministers and put others in their place leading to chaos. Her many letters to the Carz show her as quite insane. It's difficult to see the situation any other way.

Absolutely wonderful talk… I have followed Dr. Rappaport for years. Thank you!

Wow! I hope you getmore clarity on this, but just what you have is fascinating.

It makes me happy to see Tsarskoye Selo being restored. I will visit this place some day!

Thank you very much for this lecture.

Victoria -Albert Museum had an exhibition about a decade ago of Ballet Russe and costumes paintings which was thrilling.

My mother always had a bottle of Chanel 5. She didn’t wear it so much but she always had one. She was interested in Coco and Stravinsky.

"Rather than inventing lots of ideas, Russians were really good at stealing from other cultures" @1:040 Wow, who is this guy? what an awful, misjudged statement to make. If you think about it, all cultures borrow and adapt from eachother and this is very common in culture development. Especially from the country he comes from! Russia has borrowed and adapted ideas from other cultures, such as the Byzantine culture and Western Europe. And yes, it has also contributed significantly to global culture in various fields such as literature, music, art, and science. For example, Russian literature boasts renowned figures like Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, and Russian contributions to ballet and classical music are widely celebrated. Very disappointing comment from a professional

“The importance of God”, mhm. The importance of God is the importance of truth itself, revealed in the Bible. You better not ignore the Gospel, because it is about salvation ... This must be said, because today's world is completely lacking in relation to the truth, and thus not least to God, and that means: Jesus Christ!
