Well, I did it! Today, I posted the 1,000th article on my ‘Nicholas II. Emperor. Tsar. Saint.’ blog, which is dedicated to clearing the name of Russia’s much slandered Tsar. This is indeed a major milestone, and one worth celebrating! 🎉🎉🎉

I think it is safe to say, that my blog is now one of (if not the largest) sites dedicated to the study of Nicholas II, his family, the Romanov dynasty and the history of Imperial Russia, the articles of which have been researched from Russian archival and media sources and translated into English.

I have been researching, writing and publishing books and articles on these topics, on a full-time basis for more than 35 years. My blog, books on Nicholas II and semi-annual publication SOVEREIGN have become rich resource tools for scholars, historians and writers from all walks of life.

My works reflect a truthful assessment of events in the life and reign of Emperor Nicholas II (1868-1918), based on reliable Russian and English language sources, which often challenge the popular held negative Bolshevik and Soviet historiography, which academically lazy historians and writers in the West continually rehash.

I retired from publishing and bookselling in 2021, however, my dedication to preserving the memory of Nicholas II has not waned. Despite personal health issues, I continue to write daily, with more than half a dozen new book titles in the works I pray the Lord grant me many more years 🙏

THANK YOU / БОЛЬШОЕ СПАСИБО for your ongoing interest and support of my reassert
