    The Romanov dynasty reigned over Russia for three hundred years, the rule coming to an end in 1917. Tsar Nicholas the second abdicated from the throne at the end of the February Revolution; his heir, Tsesarevich Alexei, would never be the Tsar of all the Russias. It was a wonder that Alexei lived as long as he did, his death coming not from his hemophilia type B but rather from execution at the hands of the Bolsheviks. Tsarina Alexandra turned to many mystics and holy men in Russia after many doctors had given Alexei treatment and all had failed. One Staret, would be requested to pay a visit to the young Tsesarevich.

Furthermore, authors argue that HSIs are designated based on their geographic proximity to Latina/o populations, and often are not intrinsically prepared to provide culturally responsive environments for Latina/o students (Hubbard & Stage, 2009; Perrakis & Hagedorn, 2010).…
