People still speak and write of the "'Ronlanovs," and there has not been a Romanov in Russia for 143 years. The last of the Romanovs died in 1762. The house of Romanov began with Michael in i613 and the male line terminated in 17s0 Then followed the female line, with Czarina Anna in 17SO, and this line terminated with the death of CzsTina Elizabeth in 1762. In the same year the house of Holstein-G -Gottorp cG.Ile to the throne, of Russia in the person of Czar Peter III. The present cZar is not a Romanov and he is not even a Russian. He is a German of the family of Hol- stein-Gottorp. The dynasty, however, with characteristic pride, styles itself ''Romanov-H Holsteln," but there is not a drop of Romanov blood in Nicholas veins.
