A lawmaker in St Petersburg has called for the return of the Romanov family to Russia, arguing for them to be granted special legal status and a former tsarist palace as their official residence.

Vladimir Petrov of the legislative assembly of the Leningrad region has written letters to Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna and Prince Dmitri Romanovich, who both claim to be the head of the former imperial Russian royal family, asking them to return to Russia as national figureheads.
