The New York Sun: To the sounds of a 31-gun salute, the remains of Russia's last dowager empress returned to her adopted homeland yesterday almost nine decades after she fled the Bolshevik revolution that claimed the lives of her son and grandchildren.
Mother of Nicholas II, Russia's last tsar, Maria Fyodorovna, will be laid to rest today after three days of commemorations that will force Russia to consider the bloody end of its imperial past.
