You are invited to explore a Russian Palace

The Time Machine is the world's most popular website for Russian and Romanov history with more than a million visitors each month. Here you can find free online books relating to Russian history and culture, biographies, photo tours and much more. We invite you to take our online tour of the Alexander Palace, the home of Nicholas and Alexandra in Tsarskoe Selo, outside St. Petersburg. This Romanov palace was the scene of many important events in Russian history and the building is one of the finest examples of Neo-classical architecture in Europe. The interiors of the palace range from exquisite examples of Russian classicism to stunning Art Nouveau. We have just added ZOOMs to the site which you will see to the right.

We also invite you to participate in the lively discussions on royalty in our Forum.
