In 1913, the Russian Empire held a series of solemn events to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the founding of the Romanov family, with the provincial towns of Barnaul and Biysk as examples.
These activities were regarded as important events in pre-war life and were positioned as important national patriotic activities. In preparation for these events, a special committee of provincial cities was formed, with the participation of local authorities and representatives of the public, and a detailed plan for the celebration was drawn up, including the building of the city school being named "In honor of the 300th anniversary of the Romanov family".
These committees also work to perpetuate the memory of the anniversary, such as allocating special scholarships to students at local educational institutions. The success of the event was made possible by the experience of the 100th anniversary of the Great Patriotic War of 1912, as well as the joint activities of the clergy, representatives of ministries and ministries.
The celebration of the 300th anniversary of the Roman royal family was the last major solemn event of the Russian Empire, reflecting the Empire's respect for the country's history and traditions. The focus of this article is to detail how the celebrations were managed and held on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the Romanov family, and the importance of these events for the pre-war life of the Russian Empire.
In order to permanently commemorate the Annian Day, a special committee has been set up in the provincial capital, which includes local authorities and representatives of the public. The Commission was not only involved in planning the celebration of February 21, 1913, but also worked to preserve this memory on a local scale.
In Barnaul, in honor of the 300th anniversary of the Romanov Palace, the building of the city school was named "In Honor of the 300th Anniversary of the Romanov Palace".
In addition, special scholarships are awarded to students of local educational institutions to commemorate this anniversary. The success of this event was made possible by the experience of the centenary of the Great Patriotic War (1912) and the joint efforts of the clergy, departments and ministries.
The celebration of the 300th anniversary of the Romanov Palace was the last major solemn event of the Russian Empire, and a century later this event began to attract the attention of researchers.
When they studied the celebrations in Moscow and the provinces at the beginning of the 20th century, they also included brief information about the anniversary of the celebration in Barnaul in 1913. However, despite this, modern historiography has not yet been fully studied in modern historiography on the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the Romanov family.
When studying the reasons for the stability of the Russian monarchy, Is-Waterman sees it as a symbolic system, which, in changing historical conditions, takes various forms, is dominated by myths.
In 1913, the 300th anniversary of the founding of the Romanov family, Russia** was fully prepared to celebrate this event. Through a historical-genetic approach, they studied in detail the organization and behavior in Barnaul and Biysk in 1913, as well as the celebration of national holidays, in order to show a connection to the Tsar's achievements.
In Hofmeister Ag.Under the leadership of the Commission, which includes senior representatives of ministries and departments, preparations began five years ago to plan and develop the celebration process.
The emperor declared it a holiday on February 21, 1913, and on this day made a declaration on the importance of patriotic activities in the country. This celebration is not only a tribute to the Romanov family, but also an affirmation of Russian history and culture.
In a circular dated March 5, 1912, the Commission recommended that the Governor include in the list of festive events the sacred services and sermons of the churches, the arrangements for processions, military parades and solemn acts, and the readings of educational institutions, and that the celebrations should be held in one hour and that there should be no appropriation of public funds.
In addition, on July 16, 1912, the citizen of Bisk, Starosta Gusev, informed the governor of Tomsk that it was planned to hold a prayer of thanksgiving in the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity and to purchase an image of the Archangel Michael worth 50 rubles, and to hold a church service on November 8 every year about the Romanov dynasty.
These celebrations were planned to begin in the autumn of 1912 and were discussed regularly at the meetings of the public city councils of Barnaul and Biske. At the vowel meetings of the Duma of the city of Barnaul on November 23, 1912 and February 7, 1913, it was proposed that Zudilov submit to the Royal Cabinet ** a request for a gratuitous transfer to the city to expand the territory of the square in honor of the 300th anniversary of the construction of the land of the Romanov family.
At the same time, in order to reward the most valuable and poorest students, 9 scholarships were created for a total of 600 rubles, and 100 rubles were allocated for the men's gymnasium, 50 rubles each for the girls' gymnasium Royal Secondary School and MF gymnasium, 50 rubles for the ** school, the 4th grade school of the first and second cities, and 25 rubles for the Alexander Girls' School.
Candidate eligibility for the scholarship is indicated by a member of the institution's Teaching or Guardianship Committee, agreed with the City**. Preference is given to high school students, and scholarship recipients are provided with a fee to cover the cost of the right to study in a specified amount.
In accordance with the resolution adopted by the Biysk City Duma on December 14, 1912, two scholarships of 40 rubles were created. Students of the men's gymnasium will receive a scholarship of 50 rubles, while students of the Nikolaev women's gymnasium will receive a scholarship of 50 rubles.
In addition, five scholarships of 5 roubles are offered for primary education for boys and girls. On January 8, 1913, the Inspector of the Forest Guard, Raselli, informed the Governor of the Altai District** Maslov that his colleagues wished to build a silver lamp in honor of the 300th anniversary of the founding of the Romanov family, and proposed to create the image of St. John the Savior in the office of the Inspectorate of the Forest Guard, as a way to unite the patriotic motives of the ranks of the various institutions of the region.
To this end, the Altai District has set up a preparatory committee composed of representatives of various institutions, headed by the head of the Forestry Department of the Main Directorate of the Altai District. On January 15, 1913, a meeting was held in the Altai District**, which was attended by 20 people, including mining engineer Va.Bush Tate, Senior Treasurer of the Altai Control Department Basarev, architect Zimmerman, etc.
They decided to invite all ** and employees of the region to participate in the creation of financial capital, deducting 3% of the maintenance costs received within 12 months. To commemorate the anniversary, it is advisable to set up a scholarship or arrange a chapel, a temple monument or other objects in Barnaul.
Maslov then reported to the Imperial Cabinet of Ministers on the decision to build a chapel in Barnaul as a donation to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the reign of the Romanovs.
In response, he was told that the Ministry of the Imperial Court, including employees of the Altai District, should offer Emperor Nicholas II a house from the Romanov family, the patriarch of the ancestral Filaret patriarch.
At this particular time, all expenses other than the employee's expenses are acceptable. Therefore, we celebrate. We consider the idea of building a chapel on the donation of the Altai District** to be undesirable.
Inquiries about plans for festive events were sent to the site from the Tomsk governor's office, which accelerated the process of its development and approval. The plan was drawn up on February 4, 1913 at a meeting of the city of Bisk** and included a procession of services for all parish churches and the Trinity Cathedral.
Students of local military corps and educational institutions will have the opportunity to read for free, from 14 to 22 hours in the electronic theater "Photorama". In addition, from 18 o'clock, there will be fireworks at the ** house show on Maltsevskaya Square at 20 o'clock.
In Barnaul, prayer services are planned to be held in the square near the cathedral and St. George's Chapel. Students will be entertained for free at the People's House and the Circus, and from 17 to 22 hours there will also be **and an internal tester available**.
All of these options have been sent to the Governor for approval. Please note that students are invited to participate in the Divine Service on February 20 and 21, 1913, to present a Commendation Form for academic and behavioral success.
In addition, educational institutions will arrange conversations and readings of a "historical nature". In the February 17, 1913 issue of the newspaper "Altai Life", the city of Barnaul** made an appeal to the homeowners, inviting them to decorate their houses with flags and illuminate them at night.
Residents of Biysk were invited to take similar action. We are confident that these celebrations will leave a deep and bright memory for the younger generation.
At Barnaul at the Temple of Demetrius in Rostov-on-Don, at 2 p.m. on February 20, 1913, we gathered here for a memorial service in memory of the late emperor of all Russia.

The prayer service was also held on the premises of the administration of the Altai District, and at 11 o'clock the citizens, accompanied by members of the Choral Association and the Orchestra of the Fire Society, marched from the Peter and Paul Cathedral.
In the regimental square near the church, the army, students, clergy, representatives of various institutions gathered, all of whom prayed for the emperor and wished for a long life. With the participation of members of the Choral Society, we held a prayer service, followed by greetings to the Emperor and the national anthem was played three times.
Next, we held a military parade of the Barnaul military garrison to show our respect and loyalty to the emperor. At the same time, students, teachers, board members and the Parent Council gathered in the lobby of the Barnaul Women's Gymnasium to hear a speech by the President of the Board of Education on the opera "Life of the Tsar" by the opera Glinka.
