The first political party of its kind in the country since the 1917 Revolution, the party promotes the government's peaceful transition to a constitutional monarchy. The party is affiliated with the virtual sovereign nation of the Romanov Empire (Romanovskaia Imperiia) which was established by Anton Bakov in 2011. The nation views Prince Karl Emich of Leiningen as the legitimate heir to the Romanov dynasty, being a descendant of Czar Alexander II. Prince Karl Emich has accepted this role and, following his conversion to Russian Orthodoxy, was rechristened as Nicholas III. He currently acts as the head of state for the virtual nation of the Romanov Dynasty.European StudiesPolitical ScienceRussian Political Parties Web ArchiveEuropean Divisionhttp://romanovempire.com/45173http://cdn.loc.gov/service/webcapture/project_1/thumbnails/lcwaS0045173.jpghttp://romanovempire.com2020080520201104https://www.youtube.com/user/2russianempire49888http://cdn.loc.gov/service/webcapture/project_1/thumbnails/lcwaS0049888.jpghttp://www.youtube.com/user/2russianempire2020052020210112https://www.facebook.com/monpartya49889http://cdn.loc.gov/service/webcapture/project_1/thumbnails/lcwaS0049889.jpghttp://www.facebook.com/monpartya2020052020210112http://www.monpartya.ru/49893http://cdn.loc.gov/service/webcapture/project_1/thumbnails/lcwaS0049893.jpghttp://monpartya.ru2020030420200506http://www.loc.gov/item/lcwaN0029287Library of Congress, Washington, D.C., 20540 USAdlcAccess restricted to on-site usersdlc20231017lcwaN0029287eng
