A Broadside in Which Grand Duke Kiril Vladimirovich Proclaims Himself Guardian of the Sovereign’s Throne

1922001842Saint-Briac: By the author 1922. Softcover. First edition; 18 Â½â x 12 Â¼â ; newsprint single sheet recto only; folded with intersecting crease lines; a few small nicks and cuts to edges; light uniform age-toning; ruled with an intricate border and a stylized drawing of a crown; illustrated with two large photographs of Kirill and his wife Victoria Melita of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha â Feodorovna; very good condition. An apparently unrecorded piece of the Russian Imperial Familyâs history the broadside was published by Kirill himself in France where he lived in exile after the October Revolution. Kirill Vladimirovich Romanov 1876 â 1938 was the son of Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich Romanov and the grandson of Tsar Alexander II. His wife whom he married in 1905 without Tsar Nicholas IIâs consent was his first cousin and the granddaughter of Queen Victoria. The marriage caused an uproarious scandal throughout the courts of the European nobility for the union was in open defiance of the Russian Orthodox Churchâs ruling that first cousins could not marry and furthermore for the fact that Victoria Feodorovna had just divorced her first husband also a first cousin. During the February Revolution of 1917 Kirill swore allegiance to the Russian Provisional Government in hopes of ingratiating himself and possibly becoming a regent after Nicholas IIâs impending abdication. Shortly after in June of 1917 the family escaped to Finland then Germany and finally to the tiny village of Saint-Briac in France. In 1922 four years after Nicholas IIâs execution and two years before a London court order declared Nicholasâ brother Mikhail II legally dead Kirill published his current âdeclarationâ to his compatriots stating that he did not believe the news of Nicholasâ death and that he hoped his cousin would return to the throne but in the meantime the Russian people needed a âperson in chargeâ to lead them. He continued on to state that until a definitive proof of the whereabouts of Mikhail Nicholas and his son Aleksei was presented or a Zemskii Sobor an assembly summoned by a tsar or a patriarch chose a new ruler he would appoint himself Guardian of the Sovereignâs Throne. His statement was endorced at the bottom of the broadside by his relative Prince Dmitrii Golitsyn-Muravlin. His aspirations were rivaled by Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich Romanov grandson of Nicholas I but with the formerâs death in 1929 Kirill would indeed become the undisputed leader of the monarchists. After claiming the throne he would become known as the âSoviet Tsarâ for his sympathies for the regime and his biggest support would come from an Ã©migrÃ© monarchist organization styling itself âThe Legitimists.â After his death Kirill was succeeded by his son Vladimir Kirilovich who proclaimed himself âHead of the Romanovsâ but this was never accepted by any other member of the Romanov family.
