“Once upon
a time, in two separate kingdoms, there came two child of such a
rare beauty, a Boy and a Girl. Miraculously, God granted them equally kind
hearts. The two children grew up very quiet and behave, in love and respect of
their parents, brothers and sisters, as well as excellent in studies too. Also
they had same dreams of someday to see the whole world. However, there was an
evil Fairy wanted the children and conceived hatred towards them, because she
could not by any means to steal their hearts to make them angry.
On the other hand, there
was a good Fairy that admired the smart kids and always helped them. One day
the good Fairy decided to create a magical feast – a true fairytale ball, where
they can meet and express themselves. That ball was happened. The Boy and the
Girl, at the very first sight, recognized one the other and surely fell in
love, immediately and forever. They were smart indeed.
The Royal
Couple danced mazurka and waltzes excellent together. They wouldn’t ever be a
part. However, the young Boy and the young Girl lived in two different kingdoms
and their lands were so far away from each other. Because of this, many, many,
so many poor and sad things happened before, and the children had to get
through countless difficulties, until finally, one day, God united them
together.
The children became a Prince and a
Princess loving each other deeply, like two beautiful flowers are opening
towards the sun. God and the Patroness Fairy helped them to
overcome all challenges with true royal dignity. Their wedding happened, like a
day of glory and magnificent performance for both of great kingdoms ever.
The Boy was incredibly happy. He
couldn’t even believe, that they triumphed over all thorns and finally left
problems fare in the past. The Girl was a true, blinding fairytale Princess, in
the dazzling wedding veil and golden lace. The Royal couple lived in love,
peace and happiness for a long, long time. They had a beautiful castle and lots
of kids. And what a miracle again, all of their children were sweet, smart and
so beautiful!
As happiest lovers ever, the King
and the Queen died at same day. Names of such a chosen ones were…”
Isn’t this a sweetest fairytale? Doesn’t
Love conquer all? Isn’t a true that Love is always true? That is what
definitely our eyes convinced us in the Newark City, NJ, after attending the “Nicholas and Alexandra: At Home with the Last Tsar and His
Family” exhibition. The exhibition
has been open since September 29th 2004 and the inexhaustible flow
of people that attended the display astonished us. After all, it was January 7th
the very last day of the exhibition. In general, the crowd consisted of arrived
Americans from all over the nation who came to see the wonderful fairytale of
the departed century, express appreciation to the unfading Russian miracle and
the Romanov Family.
Thousands and thousands of people
were humbly waiting in line to get the first of the five small halls of the temporary
exposition. The museum is located in the center of Newark, NJ. The unique
exposition was organized and designed from splendid walls, glass showcases, and
flawless interior. The exhibits were perfectly arranged, grouped together, and
illuminated with sophisticated taste and enthusiasm.
Everything on this exhibition came
in a set and matched, just crying out to tell as much as it could about the
person and its historical time, about all greatest events of the reason past of
Russia. All subjects and issues, even in each little piece of paper, had their
own special place, with their own light flow. They also each had their own
section in the catalogs, which were placed near each exhibit.
The past
and the present organically soldered together by the genius of designers,
superbly supplemented each other. The Victorian furniture of halls, with high
antique columns and flower garlands of pastel tones, adjoined to the academic
window dressing and stands. The scarlet velvet of paths was in harmony with pomp
of smart portraits, with pictures and gobelin tapestries in heavy gold
frames.
Wide
Russian Buffet – it was directly opposite to the central entrance, symphonic
music, light of enormous crystal and bronze light holders, flat screens of TVs,
formal indexes and elegant workers – all this together, both palace glittery,
and genuine Russian style, perfectly matched with the modern design.
Organizers
of the Exhibition obviously aspired to be on the level of the Content that they
presented. Also it should be recognized that they had achieved it. Everything
inspired here, everything tuned on the highest, poetic, philosophical mood. It
seemed, that the space was filled in the mad spring sun – the symphony of
illuminations increased in mirrors and sides of show-windows, in light of
thousand surprised eyes was so strong!
All the
things exhibited here, were taken from museums and private collections around
the world. Most of them were extremely personal things, ornaments, books,
subjects of the interior of a house of Family of Tsar Nicholas II, basically
from the Alexander’s palace (modern Pushkin town, Russia). There were no
policies or orders. There were no Decrees, decisions and historical documents,
regalia of the Supreme authority, signs of the imperial power. Freely soaring
in light streams, diamond sparkling – the miracle of human soul – opened
towards to the people entered under these high arcs.
One can
find here subjects of imperial luxury: ornaments, clocks, crosses, icons,
porcelain, cigarette cases, bagatelles Faberge, marvelous clothes of tsaritsa,
gold rises from christening the Successor, the refined furniture. Each subject
is unique. Each subject is not only registered with detailed information, but
also provided by a description of circumstances of its use or family events
associated with it. The visitor not only sees a thing, but also feels the
context of family life.
But things
and luxury goods are certainly not the main thing here. The main thing is the
reign of special spirit of Family: the spirit of love and belief, service to
Beauty, the spirit of modesty and diligence, and the spirit of game and
naiveté. The imperial Family fascinates the sincere heat and the opened generosity
of Russian heart. The best, that was and remains in Russia, Russian character
and national soul are shown with limiting clearness and persuasiveness. "
The wellness is good but love is the main thing ". Romanovs have proved
that this is the Truth.
A true love is always right and
always wins! This is a simple truth, but almost a century required to apply
this to the Romanovs family. The feeling after the visit of the Exhibition in
Newark was that the main thing in the world had already happened: the whole
world had seen this amazingly fine, maybe, the kindest Fairy tale of the XX
century.
Family values, values of human attitude always were priority for traditional America. Therefore the interest of Americans to the exhibition is amicable and sincerely deep. Last Russian idealists, romanticism, Prisoners of Dream – Romanovs had managed to construct the unique fantastic world. It is the world of paints, creativity, children's pleasure, enthusiastic dream. Such things remain forever. In fact, the spirit lives outside of time and outside of national, social and territorial boarders.
The
heritage of Imperial Family today became an integral part of world universal
Culture. Thanks to all who had helped to see it so clearly and so extremely
close. In fact this is one more miracle.
Glory to Russia - Viva, America! How it is wonderful
to do this kind of business together!
