400 years of Imperial Romanoff house

This year there are celebrations of  400 years of  Imperial Romanoff house. Do you remember, a week ago I wrote about landscape design exibition in Saint-Petersburg? There I mentioned several installations dedicated to Royal Romanoff family. 


For example, this one. The four arches made of bushes mean 4 centuries of Royeal family, and that semi-circle means how time runs. Some of the plants there represent blood and suffering, and some - glory and faith. All that depict personalities and destiny of Romanoff family. It's very symbolical! 


This installation is named "Empress' Fans". Three fans symbolizes three epoques of three great women- Catherine I, Elizaveta Petrovna and Catherine II. 


Also I saw installation on Furshtadskaya street which is also dedicated to Romanoff family. This mini-exibition impress me more than other ones! The cubes are not something valuable, but the text on them is! 


This exibition is named "The Triumph of Romanoffs' Empire". And it invite us to the website dedicated to the Royal family. And we offered to write there our thoughts and opinion about Romanoffs.


For stimulating people in answering there are several views of some famous Russians. But the most impressive part are stands with information and interesting facts about life during Romanoff' reign.


For example, in 1914 there were 105 academies, and there were studing 127 000 students, and it was bigger than in any other European country!
There are  many facts about how powerful and intelligent  our country were during Romanoff reign, and, to tell you the truth, it is very impressive! 

I think that such an exibitions teach us how to be patriotic, isn't it?
