The last ruling descendant of Genghis Khan is dethroned: Emir Said Mir Mohammed Alim Khan of Uzbekistan was the last monarch descended directly from Genghis Khan, who died 700 years ago. Today, he was forcibly removed as the Red Army entered Bukhara.

Note: the photograph of the Emir is an original color print, and has not been recolorized. This is the full photograph, taken by Sergei Produkin-Gorky 11 years ago, in 1909.
The Emir was an anachronistic vestige of the medieval world in the 20th century, a wonder to behold.
