The House of Romanov (Russian: Рома́нов, IPA: [rɐˈmanəf]) was the second and last imperial dynasty to rule over Russia, reigning from 1613 until the February Revolution abolished the crown in 1917, and ended in brutal murder of Tzar Nicholas II Romanov and his family. The later history of the Imperial House is sometimes referred to informally as the House of Holstein-Gottorp-Romanov.

It’s hugely troubling that as Russia becomes more liberal and allows protests that even a decade ago would have been unthinkable, Britain’s going in the other direction. Protests of all kinds are going to be banned during the period of the Olympics. Honestly, the UK gets more like old-school Russia every day.
