La Maison à destination spéciale: La tragédie d’Ekaterinenbourg (The House of Special Purpose: The tragedy in Ekaterinburg)

description:

unique features:

Testimony by Ipatiev house guards (some identified and some anonymous) not found in other sources.

similar to:

Ispoved' Tsareubiits (Confession of Regicide)

in my opinion:

Necessary for anyone who wishes to trace some of the more controversial stories of the Romanovs' imprisonment back to their origin.

Mosaic of Leo VI from the Narthex of Hagia Sophia

This mosaic stands above the main Imperial door from the inner narthex into the sanctuary of Hagia Sophia.  Leo was married too many times and this mosaic was a result of his problems with the Church.

It really is a miracle that this mosaic survived the abuse of centuries.  Here you can learn how the Byzantine Institute of America found the mosaics, uncovered and restored them for us to see today.
