The Last Romanovs exhibition was opened in South Africa, according to Rossotrudnichestvo website. The exposition is located in Johannesburg in the Orthodox Cathedral of Sergius of Radonezh.

The exhibition is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the murder of the last Russian Emperor Nicholas 2 with his family. Among the exhibited items are documentary shots from personal archives of the Royal family. The opening ceremony was held at the day of commemoration of the Holy Royal Martyrs. Senior priests, members of the congregation and local population took part in the ceremony.

As the Russkiy Mir Foundation reported earlier, the ceremonies dedicated to this date are held all over Russia and abroad. The central platform is Yekaterinburg where the traditional festival titled Tsar Days is conducted. Its culmination was the Cross Procession starting by the Church on the Spilt Blood in the city center. It was erected at the place where Ipatiev house used to stand. In the early hours of July 17 1918, Nicholas 2, his wife, children and servants were murdered at this place.
