ROMANOV FAMILY PHYSICIAN: DR EVGENY BOTKIN
Recently the decision to canonize the Romanov family physician, Dr. Evgeny Sergeevich Botkin, was taken at a meeting of the Bishops’ Council of the Russian Orthodox Church. Based on this decision Botkin, who voluntarily followed the Romanov family into exile and was murdered along with them, has been glorified as a righteous martyr.
Dr. Botkin, the personal physician of the Romanov family was canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad back in 1981, along with the servants of the last Russian emperor’s family, who were shot along with them: the cook Ivan Kharitonov, Footman Aloise Trupp, and maid Anna Demidova.
