  • @FinnMove English was mostly spoken at Tsarkoe Selo in the 20th Century, not French. Russian was spoken at court. Yes, among highly educated, French was spoken casually.

    It would be difficult to go back centuries to find "real Russian" lineage on both sides, it just was not done. Marriages were more often negotiated for political alliances and treaties. The House of Holstein-Gottorp-Romanov goes back to Paul, and further back, Catherine II, 1762. A long time

  • What is your opinion ? French or Russian. Which one was the Mother tongue of the royal Russians, I mean those who were born in Russia ? It is an interesting question. To speak French in the old Russian court was a sign you are a civiliced person. The last Romanovs were not real "Russians", you know if you understand what I mean.
