Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia

Following the Russian Revolution and fall of Czar Nicholas and Alexandria (Anastasia's Parents) thousands of Russians left for America, Europe and Asia. When the Russian Orthodox Church accepted the communist leadership, those members on the outside started their own group called the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia or ROCOR. Their headquarters are in New York City.

Central Park

When New York City's Central Park was created in the 1860's it displaced more than 1600 poor residents who had been living in the area. Many of them where immigrants, freed slaves and others with small gardens or pig farms.
Central Park was modeled after London’s Hyde Park and Paris’ Bois do Boulogne.
