The publishing division of the Diaconești Monastery in Moldavia, Romania, have published an exiting new title: The True Story of the Romanov Family.

Although an abundance of books have been written about the Imperial Family, the present work is an unparalleled graphic study. Drawing from a wealth of historical sources, including memoirs, diaries, letters and scholarly works on the Imperial Family, the publisher has painstakingly recreated key moments in their private and public lives. In addition, eleven Faberge eggs, meticulously painted by Romanian artist Ovidiu Gliga are prominently featured in the book.

The text of the book is complimented by Ovidiu Gliga’s artwork. Over the past four years, the publisher has collaborated closely with this exceptional artist, whose artwork helps envelope the reader. His work for this book is showcased in the video found at the end of this summary. This book has been issued in both English and Romanian editions, in both hard cover and paperback formats.

According to the publisher, “this project has been a labour of love, driven by our admiration for these revered saints and our desire to present their lives in a visually engaging format suitable for readers of all ages. We believe it fills a significant void in the literature about the Imperial Family, offering a detailed exploration of their lives and the enduring impact on Russia’s history.”

It is interesting to note, that the monastery’s inspiration for this project was profoundly influence by the popular book The Romanov Royal Martyrs: What Silence Could Not Conceal, published in 2019 by the Mesa Potamos Monastery in Cyprus, which the nuns of the Diaconești Monastery translated into Romanian.

The Romanian-based publisher has prepared a 2-minute English language video, which will give readers a sample of this unique publishing project, including a glimpse of it’s content and Ovidiu Gliga’s beautiful colour illustrations.
