Dowager Empress in Peril

September 26, 1906

Dowager Empress Marie Feodorovna and her youngest son, Grand Duke Michael, are in Copenhagen, visiting Danish relatives. Russian police, who are guarding the two members of the Imperial family, have received orders from St. Petersburg to double the security due to threats by anarchists who are en route to Copenhagen to kill Marie and her son.
