Please sign in so that we can notify you about a reply
The author tells about the personal charitable activities of members of the ruling dynasty of the Romanovs, the origin and existence of charitable institutions during the reign of Peter I, the development of charitable activities under Catherine II. A special place is given to the consideration of the charitable activity of Empress Maria Fedorovna, in which the provision of assistance to those in need in Russia becomes one of the branches of state activity.
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 book describes in detail about the activities of the Russian Society of the Red Cross, which is invariably under the highest protection, personal participation in its work of the empresses and the great princesses.
In the brochure, data is given on the amount of personal funds of Russian monarchs invested in charitable projects.
Much of the experience of the departments and committees under the auspices of the Romanov house can be in demand in our time
