Russian Royal League is a monarchist organization led by former White Army officers in Manchuria. After the fall of Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, they moved to Chita under the leadership of Grigory Semyonov

Creation[edit | edit source]

It was created by Grigory Semyonov, a former White Army lieutenant general whilst in exile in Manchuria. It was created as a monarchist group for Russian exiles from the diasporas and former White Army officers.

Establishment in Transbaikal[edit | edit source]

Ataman Grigory Semyonov, head of RTL, somewhere around 1920s.

After the collapse of Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, RFP and RTS moved north to Russia from Manchuria in hopes of creating their own legacy of White Russia. Semyonov moved his headquarters to Chita, located in Transbaikal which is also his homeland. There, he established Transbaikal Principality, a monarchist state under his leadership until the "kidnapping" of Michael Andreevich Romanov, now named Mikhail II under his regnal name.
