BBC History Magazine

A satisfying detail

-

After reading many issues of BBC History Magazine, I was happy to see the article by Dr Helen Rappaport about the last days of the Romanovs ( The Romanov Murders, August). In the article, the title of the tsar’s wife is spelled correctly as tsaritsa. For some reason unknown to me, this title is usually seen spelled as tsarina, which is not how it is pronounced or spelled in the Russian language. Seeing this was a little satisfying detail for me personally, in the overall brilliant and informativ­e article. Thank you! Olga Elbourn, Cambridge
