The Empress, or Czarina, Alexandra Romanov. This was her married name, her maiden name was Von Hess ( Good German handle, right!) The very fact the Czar of all the Russias had married a German Lass, well, this was unpopular among the populace, long before the Reds got up steam. Alexandra not only took up Russian, but changed her religion to Russian Orthodox- and was extremely zealous about this, as surviving diaries and documents show. Maiden name actually Alicia ( Alice) Von Hess- again a good German name. By the way Kaiser Wilhelm was always referred to around the (Royal) house as ( Cousin Willie) not the courtesy title of Uncle. The Germans and Russians were on opposite sides in BOTH World Wars- so some distancing tactice- well were appropriate. around l9l6 Czarist Russia banned Saxophones ( to save brass for ammunition, supposedly) and also Christmas Trees. Christmas Trees are Germanic- but Adolph Sax- which sounds as German as ,well the other Adolf- was actually a Belgian national living in Paris. there is a stone Saxophone near his gravestone- a Stone sax- how"s that for depth of feeling.
