Cyrillic characters are largely based on the Greek alphabet, and their development is credited to the missionary, St. Cyril who, with St. Methodius, brought Christianity to the Slavic lands in the ninth century.
Yet, although under Peter the calendar and Cyrillic alphabet were revised, Arabic numbers introduced, the first newspaper published and schools for children opened, his reforms did almost nothing to ease the plight of the Russian peasant class.
This treatment of the peasantry was a Romanov trait that characterized many of its kings and played a large part in the family's eventual downfall.

In August 1924 Grand Duke Cyril, as the senior surviving Romanov imperial claimant, proclaimed himself Tsar Cyril I and elevated Vladimir to the rank of Tsarevich.
Although most surviving Romanovs refused to recognise Cyril as Tsar, he and his family were able to maintain their Saint Briac Court and establish a secretariat due to the financial support of Russian émigrés around the world.

This history examines the Romanov dynasty as it careened into the 20th century, taking a healthy chunk of Russian tradition and society along with it.
The Russian public's lack of confidence in Nicholas II is described in gory detail, as is the first family's brutal extinction (the grand duchesses had to be finished off with bayonets because bullets ricocheted off diamonds sewn in their garments).
This latest addition to the expanding library of works on the Romanovs begins its "saga" with the murder of Alexander II in 1881, then offers a quick survey of the imperial clan as it hurtled toward disaster in 1917.

 John-Paul Flintoff: Tsar struck
One Romanov commemorated on the website is Grand Duke Cyril, a first cousin of the last tsar who survived a trip on a battleship that sank and after bobbing to the surface picked up the unkind nickname “The Cork”.
Prince Nicholas explains: “Grand Duke Cyril is the grandfather of my obese cousin, Maria, who calls herself ‘grand duchess’.” (The title rightly belongs only to a tsar’s siblings, children and grandchildren.).
One important family member refused to join the association: “Prince Vladimir [son of Cyril the Cork and father of Maria] did not want people to know there were a number of Romanovs.” Indeed, Vladimir told Nicholas that he recognised only those Romanovs who had married with his (Vladimir’s) consent.
