The year 2018 marks a century since the murders of the last imperial family of Russia: Tsar Nicholas II, his wife Alexandra, four daughters: Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia, and son Alexei. This family of seven was brutally killed in July of 1918, but continues to fascinate even a hundred years later. Helen Azar, author of several books based on her original translations of their diaries and letters, brings you "THE ROMANOV FAMILY YEARBOOK" - a unique edition which commemorates them through a collection of personal documents that recount their daily lives, ranging over a decade. This book contains 365 diary entries, letters, and photographs--one for each day of the year-including some previously unpublished material. It is essential reading for Russian imperial history enthusiasts and excellent introduction for those new to the letters and diaries of Russia's last Romanovs.
The Tolstoy family claims to descend from a man named Indris who traveled from the Holy Roman Empire in the 1200s and converted to the Russian Orthodox Church.

Descendants live in Russia, throughout Europe and in other parts of the world.
