Today -100: December 13, 1924: Of tsars

There’s some dissent in the surviving members of the Romanov dynasty over Grand Duke Cyril declaring himself true Tsar of All the Russias. The Dowager Empress Marie Feodorovna is especially miffed because, hey, her son Tsar Nicholas and the other royals might still be alive. Cyril’s wife the Grand Duchess Victoria Feodorovna will be touring the US soon, which will be a big deal for Russian exiles and will be ignored by the US government.
