The traditions of the charity of the Imperial House of the Romanovs

The authors tell about the personal charitable activities of members of the ruling dynasty of the Romanovs, the origin and existence of charitable institutions during the time of Peter I, the development of charitable activities under Catherine II. The provision of assistance to those in need is one of the branches of state activity under Maria Fedorovna.
The organizational forms of charity were large departments and committees that acted under the direct leadership of autocrats, their wives and other members of the imperial family.
The Russian Society of the Red Cross was invariably under the highest protection. Empress and the Grand Duchesses took part in his work.
Much of the experience of the departments and committees under the auspices of the Imperial House of the Romanovs can be in demand in our time.
The book is intended for a wide range of readers interested in Russian history
