CONCERT-REQUIEM[2008-07-16][Engleză]in Memory of the 90th anniversary of the shooting of the Russian Royal FamilyPart one 90 years ago the Last Russian Emperor Nicholas II was shot. Empress Aleksandra Fyodorovna, his wife, Olga, Tatyana, Maria, Anastasia, his daughters, and Alexei, his son, were also executed. On the following day the Grand Duchess Elisabeth, the empresss sister, was buried alive in Alapaevsk. Today we commemorate the Royal martyrs and all other innocent victims who suffered from the hands of Godless at that terrible and tragic historic period of our history. Memento (5:00) From the Gospel according to St. Matthew (24:113): And Jesus being come out of the temple, went away; and his disciples came to shew him the buildings of the temple. And he answering, said to them: Do you see all these things? Amen I say to you, there shall not be left here a stone upon a stone that shall not be destroyed For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And there shall be pestilences and famines and earthquakes in places Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted and shall put you to death: and you shall be hated by all nations for my name's sake; and then shall many be scandalized and shall betray one another and shall hate one another and because iniquity hath abounded, the charity of many shall grow cold. But he that shall persevere to the end, he shall be saved. Chorale, St Matthew Passion 17 (1:00) Royal Family: Way to Golgotha The Golgotha of the Royal Family started from the moment Emperor Nicholas II abdicated on March 15, 1917. The fourth year of war was underway. Russian troops suffered great losses at the German theatre of war. The war exhausted the country, Petrograd suffered from unrest that ended with an armed rebellion. The Manifest of Abdication was signed at the Dno station near the city of Pskov where the Emperors train returning from the High Command Headquarters to The Tsarskoe Selo was detained. Petrograd was in the hands of insurgents and the Tsar faced the necessity to abdicate in order to conciliate the country and prevent revolution. The Duma and High Command insisted that Emperor do it. The Tsar wrote the following in the Manifest of Abdication: At the time of great struggle against our exterior enemies who have been trying to enslave our Motherland for three years, God send us a new ordeal. The internal disorders threaten to effect further warfare At this decisive time for Russia it is obligation of our conscience to ease the unification of our population for the fastest achievement of victory and in line with the decision of the State Duma and for the public weal we decided to abdicate Russian throne and lay down the sceptre God save Russia. In that evening the Tsar put down in his diary the following: At 1 oclock in the morning I left Pskov with a sense of heaviness. Betrayal and cowardice, and deception surround me! The abdication was a desperate step but the Tsar took it with the hope that his sacrifice would help save the country. The reverse thing happened: the fall of monarchy led Russia to the chaos of revolution and civil war. The Pro Tempore Government came to power but it was helpless in the face of revolution. The influence of the Bolshevik party grew every day. The country approached the fatal line.
