Arestoration of the Russian monarchy is a hypothetical event in which theRussian monarchy, which has been non-existent since theabdication ofNicholas II on 15 March 1917 andthe murder of him and the rest of his closest family in 1918, is reinstated in today'sRussian Federation. The only political party which today advocates such a restoration is theMonarchist Party.
Most proposals for the restoration of the monarchy envision the return to be to aconstitutional role.
A study conducted by theAll-Russian Center for Public Opinion showed that almost one third of the Russian population favor a restoration as of 2013.[citation needed]
In 2017, a survey conducted byIzvestia found that 37 percent of all Russians were "not against the monarchy, but ... did not see a candidate for such a post". The survey also found that 46 percent of young Russians were not opposed to the restoration of the monarchy.[1]
The restoration has been proposed by, among others,Vladimir Petrov, a politician of the rulingUnited Russia and affiliate of PresidentVladimir Putin.[2]Vladimir Zhirinovsky, prominent politician and leader ofLDPR, was also known to express such ideas.[3]
The direct male line of succession (based on descent from EmperorNicholas I of Russia) to Prince Alexis Romanov, currently the senioragnatic heir to the House of Romanov, is:
Emperor Nicholas I (1796–1855)If one accepts that Vladimir Kirillovich's marriage toLeonida Bagration of Mukhrani was non-morganatic and that he was succeeded by his daughter, Maria Vladimirovna, then the line of succession is:
Emperor Alexander II (1818–1881)In either case, at the death of the last uncontestable Head of the Imperial House of Romanov in 1992, all the other living male-line descendants and Grand-Dukes were morganatic.
