The 400th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty, which is celebrated in 2013, will certainly become one of the main events of the recent years. A hundred years ago, in 1913, that date was even more important as the population widely celebrated the tercentenary of the 3ooth anniversary of the dynasty, which linked the major milestones in the history of the country. Regional specificity allows to identify the mood and attitude of the ruling family in the region, reflects the personal impressions of the wide anniversary celebrations at the moment of festive activities in the capital. The celebration of the 300th anniversary the Romanovs as viewed by eyes of the Tobolsk priest is on the one hand especially subjective, on the other hand, it shows the feelings and opinions of all clergy of the Tobolsk province owing to its class and corporate structure and the relation to the ruling dynasty. The memoirs of a contemporary give vivid impressions of the past events, draw sketches of the era, the ruling persons, allowing the next generations to learn and «join in» the key points in the country’s history. The paper is aimed at popularization of Russian historical knowledge associated with the last dynasty of Russia, little-known facts that occurred and specific to the provincial regions.
