RT with participation of the Russian State Archive has launched multimedia project #Romanovs100. The story of the Royal Family will be narrated by the personal photograph archives of the Romanov Dynasty on four internet accounts, according to RIA Novosti.

The project is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Emperor’s Family’s execution and will be held on the four media platforms: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.

Starting April 8, for 100 days the rare photographs of the Royal family stored in the personal archives are to be posted on the special internet accounts. Each account is to have its own narration line. Facebook will publish photographs in combination with personal stories about Nicholas II’s life, his wife, relatives and friends of the Last Emperor’s Family. Composer and signer Pyotr Nalich wrote music background for the project.

Youtube will present documentary videos about external and internal sides of the last Emperor’s life. Instagram subscribers will be able to learn about the Romanovs’ life from the narration by the favorite dog of Prince Aleksei – spaniel named Joy.

Twitter will introduce personal accounts of Nicholas IIAlexandra Fyodorovna and their daughters.

Project organizers call the Romanov Family first photo bloggers in history. They had several cameras installed documenting each important event of their life. The society will get to know better the Emperor’s Family from different angles – in the role of the ruling Dynasty, loving parents, common children, dog-loving family who travels, feels, lives and goes through different daily experiences.
