Russia opens tourist route reconstructing Romanov family s last journey Reuters 2/22/2021
ALAPAYEVSK, Russia, Feb 22 (Reuters) - Tourists curious about Russia s imperial past can now ride on a special train running through the Ural mountains along the route travelled by some members of the royal family before their execution in 1918.
The train making the three-hour journey between Yekaterinburg and Alapayevsk is equipped with a royal family-themed wagon where tourists can try on clothing similar to that worn by Russian nobility in the early 20th century.
Upon arriving in the town, tourists are taken by bus to places of importance in the lives of the royal family members who were killed there.

The 30-year-old Russian photo blogger said the police told him he had been identified by a “Face-ID” camera system and must accompany them to a police station for checks.
“I could see they had some kind of photographs, but they weren’t from cameras - it was definitely a photograph from my profile on social networks,” Malets told Reuters.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Riot police broke up protests across Russia on Sunday in support of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, detaining more than 5,000 people who had braved the bitter cold and the threat of prosecution to demand he be set free.
In a massive show of force, police imposed a sweeping security lockdown in the heart of Moscow, sealing off streets to pedestrians near the Kremlin, closing metro stations and deploying hundreds of riot police as snow fell.
At one point, a column of protesters marched towards the prison in northern Moscow where Navalny is being held, chanting “Let him go!”. In another scene, people in a crowd raised their hands above their heads in front of a row of riot police and chanted “we’re not your enemies”.
