There are many stories and legends about the origins of this regal and majestic
breed. However it is thought that the first Russian Blues, then called archangel
cats, arrived in Britain about 1860 from Archangel (Arkhangelsk). This is
a port situated near the mouth of the Dwina River on the White Sea in North
West Russia.
Rumors suggest that Russian Blues are descendants of the Royal cats of the
Tsars and favoured by Queen Victoria 1 of England.
