I like reading Russian history. One the more interesting points is that Alix of Hesse-Darmstadt (Alexandria Feodrovna) first made her public appearence to the Russian public at Alexander III's funeral.
When she followed behind the coffin, old women crossed themselves and said. "She comes to us from behind a coffin. She will bring death."
Alix brought hemophilia into the Romanov family. There is a saying that "The Russian Revolution began in the cradle. No haemophilia, no Rasuption. No Rasputin, no Lenin."
