RUSSIA: ROYAL BALL HELD AT YEKATERININSKY PALACE
(19 May 1997) Russian/Nat
In scenes reminiscent of Czarist times, hundreds of Russia's society elite have danced the night away at a Royal Ball held at the former imperial palace near St Petersburg on Sunday.
Organisers of the Royal Ball at the Yekaterininsky Palace hope to raise enough money to finish its restoration.
They also aim to revive some of the traditions of Russian nobility.
The gathering of Russia's beau monde at the Yekaterininsky Palace on Sunday was partly to celebrate St. Petersburg's imperial past and also raise some money for the palace's future.
The palace, just outside St Petersburg, used to be the centre of the Russian royal court before the Bolshevik Revolution.
Now, decades after the nobility was chased out of Russia, the palace has reawakene...

The Russian emperor surpasses everything in power and splendor.
The jewels are the biggest, the rarest and the most unmatched ones you know. Zar Nicholas II's aunt, Grand Duchess Vladimir, is the absolute leader in jewelry throughout Europe.
During the revolution, her jewels are smuggled out of Russia by a good friend and it is only because of him that Queen Elizabeth II today can wear the famous Vladimir diadem.

Around 1,500 people, including Prince Rudolph and Princess Tilsim of Liechtenstein, and the former king and queen of Bulgaria were invited to the ceremony. The last time a member of the Romanov dynasty tied the knot in Russia was in 1894, when Nicholas II and Alexandra were married. The Romanov Empire was overthrown in 1917, when the last tsar was deposed. Nicholas II and his family were later killed by Bolshevik revolutionaries.

(19 May 1997) Russian/Nat
In scenes reminiscent of Czarist times, hundreds of Russia's society elite have danced the night away at a Royal Ball held at the former imperial palace near St Petersburg on Sunday.
Organisers of the Royal Ball at the Yekaterininsky Palace hope to raise enough money to finish its restoration.
They also aim to revive some of the traditions of Russian nobility.
The gathering of Russia's beau monde at the Yekaterininsky Palace on Sunday was partly to celebrate St. Petersburg's imperial past and also raise some money for the palace's future.
The palace, just outside St Petersburg, used to be the centre of the Russian royal court before the Bolshevik Revolution.
Now, decades after the nobility was chased out of Russia, the palace has reawakened.
The grand ballroom welcomed descendants of its former inhabitants in true style.
Descendants of Russian aristocrats made pilgrimages from all over Europe to attend the ball, organised by legendary Bolshoi Ballet star Maya Plisetskaya.
The money raised will help restore the palace to its pre-Revolutionary grandeur.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"Of course it's great but also sad because so many millions of people died before all of this returned to Russia. This is horrible. But still it's great that it's come back, and we've lived to see it. A great ball in the Yekaterininsky Palace. That's wonderful."
SUPER CAPTION: Maya Plisetskaya, Royal Ball organiser
There is great nostalgia in post-communist Russia for its imperial past.
Several societies proclaiming to have family links to Russia's aristocrats have sprung up in St Petersburg and Moscow.
The privately funded Royal Cadet Academy in St Petersburg is playing its part in the royalist revival.
Students are taught the history of the royal family and the rules of aristocratic etiquette.
And in line with royal tradition, the school also teaches its seventy-three cadets military strategy and the history of battle.
The cadets say the tuition - and the revival of St Petersburg's strong links to the aristocracy - is important.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"It's the rebirth of our people's culture. People will pay more attention to these events. People will have more respect for their own culture."
SUPER CAPTION: Alexei Groshev, Royal Cadet
The Yekaterininsky Palace was built by Czar Peter the Great and once housed the legendary Amber Room, dismantled by the Nazis during World War Two.
Today the palace is in dire need of repair and is lacking the funds for restoration.
The city's former mayor said the palace can only get back on its feet again if St Petersburg's aristocratic traditions return to the city.
SOUNDBITE:
"We're not talking about the rebirth of noble traditions. We're talking about the rebirth of the high society's way of life, balls, holidays, fireworks. That life which not only the nobles led but also the majority of the population."
SUPER CAPTION: Anatoly Sobchak, ex-mayor of St. Petersburg
And aristocracy in Russia might have a very bright future.
Many are hoping that the Russian government will consider reinstating the heir- apparent, fifteen-year-old Prince Georgy, as the head of the Romanov family.
Until then Russia's nobility will continue to shuffle their feet across the dance floor.

The privately funded Royal Cadet Academy in St Petersburg is playing its part in the royalist revival.
Students are taught the history of the royal family and the rules of aristocratic etiquette.
And in line with royal tradition, the school also teaches its seventy-three cadets military strategy and the history of battle.
The cadets say the tuition - and the revival of St Petersburg's strong links to the aristocracy - is important.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"It's the rebirth of our people's culture. People will pay more attention to these events. People will have more respect for their own culture."
SUPER CAPTION: Alexei Groshev, Royal Cadet
The Yekaterininsky Palace was built by Czar Peter the Great and once housed the legendary Amber Room, dismantled by the Nazis during World War Two.
Today the palace is in dire need of repair and is lacking the funds for restoration.
The city's former mayor said the palace can only get back on its feet again if St Petersburg's aristocratic traditions return to the city.
SOUNDBITE:
"We're not talking about the rebirth of noble traditions. We're talking about the rebirth of the high society's way of life, balls, holidays, fireworks. That life which not only the nobles led but also the majority of the population."
SUPER CAPTION: Anatoly Sobchak, ex-mayor of St. Petersburg
And aristocracy in Russia might have a very bright future.
Many are hoping that the Russian government will consider reinstating the heir- apparent, fifteen-year-old Prince Georgy, as the head of the Romanov family.
Until then Russia's nobility will continue to shuffle their feet across the dance floor.
