The architect's concept required the interiors of the yacht and the items used to decorate them to accord with the name that had been given to the yacht by the Naval Department as far back as 1866. "Derzhava" means the orb as part of royal regalia (as well as "state, realm"). Thus almost all the artistically designed items relating to the yacht bear the traditional depiction of the orb in the form of a golden globe surmounted by a cross. |
