Empress Marie was a staunch monarch, and was devastated when Nicholas II abdicated the throne. Prior to the abdication, she has begged her 'Nicky' to change course in order to have the monarchy survive, to no avail.
You're absolutely right about Empress Maria Feodorovna's unwavering support for the monarchy and her deep disappointment in Nicholas II's abdication. Her attempts to guide and influence her son, 'Nicky', highlight her dedication to preserving the Romanov dynasty. It's a poignant reminder of the personal and political struggles within the imperial family during such tumultuous times.
Overall, a good video, thank you!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Your support means a lot and motivates me to continue creating content.
Alix's letters to Rasputin were often written in that eras' language of over emotional, dramatic language. Taken in todays' context, it does seem suggestive, but in reality, it is not. If one reads the letters between the Tsar and Tsarina, one will find the same type of language. The Grand Duchesses also wrote in such flowery, dramatic language, as evidenced by their writings in their letters and diaries. Trust me, I am not defending Rasputin one iota, as I see him as a scoundrel who did great damage to the Imperial family and the dynasty, in great part due to Alexandra's pathological reliance on his 'healing powers' and the Tsars' reluctance to stop it.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on the video! I've been eagerly awaiting your insights all morning. Your detailed knowledge and perspective on the Romanovs always add so much depth to our discussions. You bring up a great point about the language used in Alix's letters to Rasputin. It's important to consider the historical context and the common writing style of that era, which indeed was often very emotional and dramatic. This style can easily be misinterpreted by today's standards.
I agree that while the language may appear suggestive now, it was typical of correspondence among the Romanovs. Your observation about the Grand Duchesses using similar language in their writings supports this view.
Regarding Rasputin, his presence and influence within the Imperial family are undeniably complex and multifaceted. While it's clear that Alexandra's profound reliance on Rasputin stemmed from her desperate need to heal her son, this dependency inadvertently granted him unprecedented access and influence. This, coupled with Nicholas II's reluctance to confront the issue, created a volatile dynamic that contributed to the unraveling of public and aristocratic support for the dynasty.
Rasputin's controversial role underscores the tragic vulnerability and isolation of the Romanovs during a period of immense political and social upheaval. His actions, whether perceived as manipulative or as misguided attempts at support, left an indelible mark on the family's legacy.
BY the way, I appreciate your engagement and look forward to more of your thoughtful comments. It’s viewers like you who help make this community so enriching! 🙃
@@GeniusHistoryChannel I thoroughly enjoy our discussions of the Romanovs. A little tidbit of trivia, although their last name is commonly pronounced as 'Romanov' with 'Roman-off', however, the actual pronunciation was RO-Man-OFF, with an emphasis on the RO Man, and Ov(ff). I do hope you can read what my differentiations sound like.
@@Gothguy1961 Thank you so much for enjoying our discussions on the Romanovs! It's fascinating how pronunciation can vary, and your clarification on how to correctly pronounce 'Romanov' is greatly appreciated. I love learning these details and sharing them with our community.
Here's a little-known curiosity about the Romanovs which I LOVE: Did you know that Tsar Nicholas II and his family were avid photographers? They had a passion for capturing their daily lives, and many of their personal moments were meticulously documented in photographs. This hobby provides us with a unique and intimate glimpse into the lives of one of history's most intriguing royal families.
Keep the trivia coming!
@@GeniusHistoryChannel For that time period, they were ardent photographers, especially Anastasia! Did you know that many within the royal family wanted Nicholas II to abdicate in favor of his Uncle, Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaevitch (SP?)? Grand Duke Nicholas was a towering figure, who commanded respect and authority. He was much taller than Tsar Nicholas II, as he was well over 6ft tall, while Nicholas was about 5ft 8 inches tall. Tsarina Alexandra was suspicious and distrustful of the Grand Duke, as she saw him as a threat to Nicky's reign as Tsar.
It’s incredible to think about the internal dynamics and the pressures Nicholas II faced from within his own family. The physical and authoritative contrast between the Grand Duke and Nicholas II must have indeed been striking.
And yes, Anastasia's love for photography is another charming facet of their story. Speaking of Anastasia, here's an interesting curiosity: she had a quirky sense of humor and was known for her playful pranks around the palace. One of her favorite tricks was to hide behind doors and jump out to startle unsuspecting members of the household staff and her family. This playful nature adds a humanizing touch to the often tragic narrative of the Romanovs.
Keep the trivia and fascinating details coming!

Thanks for your comment!
One mistake thus far...at frame 3:35, those are not German WWI soldiers, but rather German WWII soldiers.
Thank youuu. We’ll make sure to include more accurate pictures in our future videos.😁

Thanks for your comment!
Less than 20% of this video is about the actual will. And of this you glance over important details like exactly how the little money she has left was distributed. 🤨
Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and share your thoughts. My aim is to provide a comprehensive view of Maria Feodorovna's life and context surrounding her will, but I understand your desire for more detailed information. I'll make sure to dive deeper into the specifics of the will and how her remaining assets were distributed in future content. Your insights help me improve the channel, so please keep them coming! 😊
Maria Feodorovna's will indeed contained important details about the distribution of her remaining assets. After the Russian Revolution, much of her wealth was confiscated, leaving her with a fraction of what she once had. What little money was left was distributed among her surviving family members and used to support her immediate household in exile. Specific allocations were made to ensure the well-being of her daughters, Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna and Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna. I hope this clarifies some of the points you were curious about! On more time, I'll make sure to dive deeper into these details in future content. 😊
@@GeniusHistoryChannel most of that is what I already knew. Her, Duchess of Saxe-Corburg Gotha and other Romanovs who survived Lenin mass-deletion had very little money left. That is why I said “little left”. Still, thanks for bring it up.
However, I never bothered to read the actual will. That is why the video caught my attention. So the detail of what the Tsarina daughter got is new and relevant to the video’s title. Thanks for that.
@@GeniusHistoryChannel To the point on feedback. There are probably a thousand videos that talks about the Tsarina. Lot of them gives a romanticized perspective of the Romanov. So 80% of the video is heavily covered by others. Of course it is your prerogative if you want to repeat the romanticized version especially since many people cannot stomach the truth of how brutal the Romanov were.
And do not get me wrong, thanks for the video. It was great.
Yes, you're correct; there are indeed many repetitive videos on UA-cam. I'm glad that at least one minute of the video brought something interesting and new to you. Thank you for your feedback and for watching!
