These informative and historically accurate videos are unbelievably well done. While heartbreaking, to know the horrific fate that awaited the Romanov family, their true story indeed, needs to be told. This book has been one of the most articulate and accurately written stories ever of their reign and their lives. The artistic photography is breathtaking. Our family will treasure this book. If you have not purchased a copy...purchase it now!!!!!!
@Tony. O'Brien My friend, the extensive and scrupulous investigation for Nicolas and Alexandra "wrongdoings" was immediately carried by the provisional government and found absolutely nothing of what was circulating against him, the Tsarina, and his people. The act of the murder of Nicolas, Alexandra, his children, and servants was nothing but a brutal act by impure, cruel, self-called rulers, who drenched the whole land in blood and tears. . . . As per the saying of Saint John of Kronstadt, 1905
@@DimpBac hello! Thanks for writing! Here's the official website of the book. You can find everything you need here and, if you decide to do so, you can place an order: www.romanovs.eu
@Αντίνοος You can find more on the subject on the book official site (www.romanovs.eu) and certainly a detail in the book itself; PART ΙI: In the Path of Blood, CHAPTER 5 - CAPTIVITY The inquiry was immediately carried by the provisional government Minister of justice Kerensky while the family was in captivity in Tsarskoye Selo. "The investigation lasted eighteen days. The committee appointed by the Provisional Government responsible for examining all the archives that were kept at the palace, which registered all the activities of the emperor during his reign, could not find any incriminating evidence. Not a single trace of the things his enemies accused him of could be found in Nicholas’ records. He was found completely innocent and absolutely faithful in his duty to his country and his people" When Kerensky realized that Nicolas and Alexandra were falsely accused, he did try to provide for the safety of the family or even to ship them out of the country. Little that he (Kerensky) knew that in a few months to come, he would be chased off the country by the Bolsheviks...
I have been following and researching the history of this family since the age of 12 when I was introduced to the book, Nicholas and Alexandra. I found that the lives of this family were so beautifully written about and started my long journey towards finding out more about them and their tragic ending in a basement of a run down mansion. I am 71 now and I still look for books and stories covering the lives of the duchesses and the last tsarevich. They truly were the personification of a close knit, loving family and I hope their story will continue to be told to future generations and hopefully be an inspiration to families about what a true loving family should be.
I only discovered them and their story nearly 2 years ago and it’s safe to say there’s so many young people who are learning of them and spreading the unfortunate story but also what they were like as people which I’m glad that they aren’t becoming a lost story
Honestly Nicholas should not have named any heir. I think he still didn't get that it wasn't just him they wanted to get rid of but Tsarist rule all together. Michael knew what would likely happen to him if he tried to become Tsar. He did the only smart thing he could do and rejected the throne. Nicholas thought he would be allowed to become a farmer and just fade into history with his family he didn't understand until later that that was never going to happen. Its just sad how clueless he really was and I don't think it's all his fault I think he was kept largely in the dark about the state of the country by those around him . Nicholas I think was generally a good man and he and his wife would have been happiest just being a family. They were terrible rulers who were just not prepared for the roles. Who knows what could have been if Nicholas had abdicated far sooner and retired somewhere with his family to live a quiet life. Heartbreaking story all around .
Nicholas did not name an heir. According to the Fundamental Laws of Russia at the time, after Nicholas abdicated for himself and his son, his brother Michael was automatically next in line to the throne. That is how hereditary monarchy works. Every member of the Romanov Dynasty had their place in the line of succession. The goals of the Revolutionaries were varied. Not all wanted to do away with the monarchy. Many aimed for a constitutional monarchy, like England's. The members of the Provisional Government were all expecting Nicholas' son Alexis to be the next tsar (under a regency, of course), and were taken aback by Nicholas abdicating for his son, too. It was only then that they took a harder line. It's not mentioned in the video, but when the members of the Provisional Government met with Grand Duke Michael (technically Tsar Michael II the moment Nicholas abdicated, and he had been proclaimed as such in some towns and in some army units), despite many of them being ardent monarchists, they decided to present a united front and gave him the following ultimatum: either renounce the throne, or they would all resign and he'd be left without a government. Nicholas was not kept largely in the dark. Many people (even within his own family) warned him about what was happening, and he read police and government reports of unrest. Unfortunately, he had a knack for making bad decisions....and for being under his wife's thumb, and she truly was delusional about the true state of affairs (even though people tried to warn her, too).
This is such a well done documentary. Even the narrator’s voice is soothing, yet professional and makes it easier to process the information being delivered. Bravo to your team!
Glad you enjoyed it! We have many more videos on our channel that we trust you will find interesting. Have you been able to watch any more of them yet? Best wishes!
Being Scottish we are taught a great deal of British Royal history in school from a young age, it was always topic I looked forward to, as time went on we began learning about the royal histories of other countries and how most houses can be traced in one way or another to queen Victoria. It was during one of these lessons I first began to learn about the Romanovs. One particular lesson we learned about what had happened to the family. I sat at my tiny desk sobbing my eyes out, I got so upset my mother was called to come and take me home because the teacher couldn’t console me, i just felt so heartbroken for them 😔 I was 10 years old 😔 Thankfully this did not stop my love of history!
It is because you understand what Marxism could do to all ppls: "One should begin with a socialist revolution to liquidate the primitive rubbish of peoples such as Basques, Bretons, Scottish Highlanders ..." - Marx
Notice how, in the first section of historic footage (showing the Tsar and his children at the Army Headquarters), when the party breaks up after the photographs have been taken, the participants fall naturally into line and begin to move away, in accordance with protocol: the Tsar with the Tsesarevitch, Grand Duchess Olga with Grand Duchess Tatiana (the ‘Big Pair’) and Grand Duchess Maria with Grand Duchess Anastasia (the ‘Little Pair’). If you look at how it happens, you will see how naturally this ‘pairing-off’ occurs - done by people who have behaved this way all their lives, to whom this comes as second nature. Protocol.
@@2121beastmode The point is as other respondents have pointed out: protocol. The formal photo-session may now be over, and the members of the Imperial Family may now be moving away from the camera, but they still observe protocol in what they do and in how they align themselves with each other: (1) Tsar and Tsesarevitch - ruler and heir, (2) GD Olga and GD Tatiana - elder daughters, and (3) GD Maria and GD Anastasia - younger daughters. It's all in the protocol of rank and seniority.
Their story is so sad, cruel and unfair. It brings tears to my eyes. You have done a remarkable effort in bringing their story forward and into the light. RIP their souls to a better place
Thank you SO much, Kim! It means the world to us to know that our work is met with interest! Have you watched any other of our videos? And have you read our book, which is the peak of our project? Best wishes!
It is sad and cruel, especially the way it was handled, but the Romanovs causes it on themselves. The killing of the grand duchesses was uncalled for. They killed Alexi bc he was the heir apparent while Alix played a huge hand in the downfall of the monarchy by listening to Rasputin. The biggest mistake Nicholas made was leaving Alix in charge when he went to the front line like he was some kind of medieval king. She ran the country into the ground by following Rasputin’s every word. A man with zero military experience should never have been at the front line. He did nothing anyway minus stand in the way. That was another of Rasputin’s ideas.
@@joseeduardotschen9186 thank you so much for your kind words! Have you had the chance to explore our book's website yet? There is an enormous amount of additional materials there. Here's the link: www.romanovs.eu
This documentary is incredibly done! Its historically accurate and the narrator has a soothing voice that makes the horribly tragic information that she's delivering bearable to the ears. Bravo! RIP ROMANOVS!
I felt like crying looking at the expressions in their eyes as they sat for the portrait.. As if they all knew what was coming.. The dismemberment of the already dead bodies tops all the cruelty in the world.. Whatever did they do to be so treated..!!!
They may have known. There’s a sad story about this mystic monk (I think named Adam?) who in 1808 (or thereabouts) left a sealed envelope for the Emperor to open in 1908. The family was expecting wonderful prophecies and was joyful on the way to open the envelope; they were crestfallen and morose after they read it.
@@oledocfarmer ..I do recall a note that was left under the reign of Paul 1, son of Catherine 11, or The Great. Paul was murdered six years into his reign because he had taken away some of the privilages of the nobles and was working tirelessly to undo all the liberal laws instituted by his mother Catherine.
It's just natural to feel for exploiter than exploited. Because human understanding call this Divine rule. Nothing matters in the end. Exploiters deserve Hell on Earth just like those Romanovs, luxurying off of people's blood.
It's time Russia deals with it past and takes down all Lenin monuments and buries Lenin in an unmarked grave. And rename everything named after commies
Lenin was a manipulative, cruel, arrogant, dismissive, calculating, unwaveringly uncaring, all the opposite of Tsar Nicholas. And this only proved correct with not only the murder of the Romanovs, but of subsequent Russians under Soviet rule. Thankfully the Romanovs’ story is being richly retold with fascination and sadness today.
Not only that. Lenin was a male prostitute in Vienna. As he was so compromised, he got employed by foreign agencies(you can imagine which) to travel to Russia in an armored train with more than 300kg(or 3 tones, I'm not sure) in gold, from Switzerland to Moscow(without stopping anywhere) in order to start a revolution. Refusal from all European royal countries to give them asylum also explains the background of the whole endeavor.
Lenin and his comrades were cruel, greedy and godless men. Russia lived under a cloud of ruthlessness and bloodshed. No one was safe from the Soviets no matter whom they were.
As a one , whose two fore grandfathers got killed by czar' s army in ww1, i get very heart -broken whenever i remember killing of romanov family , especially female members and 14 year old boy of the family Btw , the semavour that i inherited from my grandmother still bears seal of russian czardom

Wow, in spite of terrifying events that kid was still willing to stand up. In addition, even being sick with hemophilia it still took a few tries to kill him off with bullets. Wonder what kind of Tsar he would have been
The reason the bullets bounced off him was because he had so many diamonds and jewels sewed into his undergarments that he was effectively wearing a bulletproof vest. A single stone would have fed 00s of children who starved every day in Tsarist Russia of hunger and poverty because everything they produced was taken as taxation to fund the Tsars greed nad excess. THAT is the type of Tsars he would have been. A mass killing Tyrant, like every other Tsar.
I am absolutely fascinated with all of the photos...thank you Eastman Kodak...for all these great photos and I often put myself in these photos and think of how I would of felt.

What happened to the Romanov family is horrific, cruel and sad. I look forward to reading The Romanov Royal Martyrs. I have enjoyed reading about the Romanov history. History has always been a favorite of mine.
I don't know why I never learned about this family's story-history but I'm happy that I am now. Your videos are an excellent educational tool for those with new or renewed interest!
The cruelty of what? The people of Russia who were starving to death? Or the fact that the people were sick of starving to death and killed the monarchy in that country for allowing it to happen? Tell me what makes you sad? What are you feeling sad about?
@@SarahKingsleyHaussman with lenin and Stalin it was worse !! The people in Russia was hungry because of the war !! In every world war the people is starving!! The bolsheviks are criminals and fascist people they are dictators

Maybe, but his love for her, with her neurotic mood swings and irrational political decisions got them all killed. I really believe that. She was a silly bitch and he unfortunately listened to her! She was borderline abusive to Nicolas and the children with her emotional blackmail and her cheeky English manner.
According to the Bolshevik Sverdlov, he and Lenin decided that it was necessary to kill “the Royals” lest they serve as a rallying point for the Whites during the civil war. In truth, the Whites also despised the monarchy and would never have backed them.
The "Revolution" was paid for by Wall St. money-Jacob Schiff>$20 million to Trotsky who then purchased an army that stormed the capital. We were lied to about the proletariats.
I hated how I was given a false hope by the rumors that Anastasia survived, and hid and got old here in our country, the Philippines. Many believed the rumor and everyone was fascinated by the thought. When the rumor spread, I got skeptical and did my own research. Since then, I am so heartbroken that I could not even rewatch the animated film Anastasia. How cruel this world can be.
Always believe your instincts - Anastasia did survive but she was betrayed yet again by the powers that be - Dont always believe what you are told to believe
@@williamf4544 Her body was found with the other Romanovs and is now entombed in the cathedral in St. Petersburg. Don't believe ridiculous conspiracy theories.
Magnifique famille que celle formée par le Tsar Nicolas II, la Tsarine Alexandra et leurs cinq enfants. Aujourd'hui le monde entier la pleure. Néanmoins, force est de constater que celles et ceux qui versent des larmes pour eux, sont leurs véritables alliés. Et ce ne sont pas toujours celles et ceux que l'on croit. Les grands de ce monde, à leur époque n'ont pas bougé le petit doigt pour leur venir en aide, pour les sauver. Et pourtant ils faisaient partie "des leurs", de "leurs familles" respectives. Familles degré ZÉRO. Non, les seuls fautifs et criminels n'ont pas été que les bolcheviques. Les responsables ont surtout fait partie de leur entourage restreint et plus large dans le cercle infernal de la parenté. Personne. PERSONNE dans toute l'Europe n'a voulu leur tendre la main du Coeur. Car justement, du Coeur, ils n'en avaient pas. Ils avaient beau partager le "même" sang, leur nature était profondément différente. Nicolas II, son épouse et leurs enfants les regardaient, sans rien dire, sans rien réclamer, car on ne force pas l'Amour. Ce qui s'est passé à Ekaterinbourg est le funeste résultat de l'Indifférence, de la lâcheté, du calcul et de la jalousie de celles et ceux qui auraient pu, qui auraient dû les sauver. Gloire au Tsar, à la Tsarine, aux Grandes Duchesses, au Tsarévitch et aux Fidèles et Loyaux des derniers instants. Et Paix aux femmes et hommes de bonne volonté ✨✨✨💖✨✨🙏✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
I could feel my heart breaking for this beautiful family. There are no words to express my heart felt Thank you to the creators of this film and the careful details presented of the perils and untimely death that the Royal Romanovs family had to endure.
To be an Emperor at the wrong time...A good kind man who was a Good Father & Husnabd but not a Successful Ruler......heartbreakingly sad & such AN UNNECESSARY TRAGIC END. Pray their souls rest in peace.
Unfortunately, this is exactly what more than a hundred years of Western history, due to many complicated factors, has led people to believe. However, the truth is quite far from that. In our recently published book, we have presented the real dimensions of Tsar Nicholas' reign, based solely on Russian sources and archival documents, which have never been published in English before. The book, thus, puts to rest many of the negative myths, held for more than a century, and rehashed over and over again in the last 50 years by so many so-called Western experts, who have basically copied and pasted what they found in books written before them based on false and foul information, looking to fit (again) a complicated agenda. We have published here a few videos as well, that give the truth through the proper perspective. For example, the British renowned Cambridge professor Dominic Lieven, in just a few minutes gives a unique summary of Tsar Nicholas' reign. Use this link to watch it, it's only approx. 5 minutes (link takes you straight to the point of reference): ua-cam.com/video/Ai_NysgnT3I/v-deo.html Additionally, you can read the following (excerpt from Sir Winston Churchill's, The World Crisis 1916-1918, Vol. 3, p. 224), which gives yet another objective evaluation of Tsar Nicholas' reign: "... the brunt of supreme decisions centered upon him [Tsar Nicholas II]. At the summit where all problems are reduced to Yea or Nay, where events transcend the faculties of man and where all is inscrutable, he had to give the answers. His was the function of the compass needle. War or no war? Advance or retreat? Right or left? Democratise or hold firm? Quit or persevere? These were the battlefields of Nicholas II. Why should he reap no honor from them? The devoted onset of the Russian armies which saved Paris in 1914; the mastered agony of the munition-less retreat; the slowly regathered forces; the victories of Brusilov; the Russian entry upon the campaign of 1917, unconquered, stronger than ever; has he no share in these? In spite of errors vast and terrible, the regime he personified, over which he presided, to which his personal character gave the vital spark, had at this moment won the war for Russia. “He is about to be struck down. A dark hand, gloved at first in folly, now intervenes. Exit Tsar. Deliver him and all he loved to wounds and death. Belittle his efforts, asperse his conduct, insult his memory; but pause then to tell us who else was found capable. Who or what could guide the Russian state? Men gifted and daring; men ambitious and fierce, spirits audacious and commanding-of these there were no lack. But none could answer the few plain questions on which the life and fame of Russia turned.” Thank you for your comment here. We appreciate your interaction with our project. Best wishes!
Amazingly well historically informative and accurate three part documentary series on the Romananov dynasty of Tscar Nicholas and the murder of the whole family. Thank you for these most remarkable documentaries, with increased information being retold with such great videos and thoroughness. Such a sad and horrendous ending to the dynasty. 😢 I had no idea how scheming and cruel Lenin really was when it came to the murder of the Romanov family, especially the children. 17:45
Im watching these to help explain to my grandaughter about the history of paternal grandparents and also to understand the orthodox church as she is a member of the Ukrainian orthodox and my son is a member of the Greek Orthodox like his dad .
I knew Vasili Shulgin's son very well in the 1980s and 1990s. He was the Russian choir director in our church in the US .He escaped to the US after WW 2 and lived in hiding but we knew who he was and who his father was . He told us about this film featuring his father that you see in this video that was made in the Soviet Union in 1957. I watched it in the 1990s. He told us that the Soviets forced his father to make this film after he was released from the gulag prisons in the 1950s and it was full of propaganda and lies
Love and Marriage made in Heaven (spiritual )but fraught with chaos and crisis ( mortal world ) The spiritual and mortal worlds cant go hand in hand to led a perfect life. So heart wrenching . Cant help crying for these beautiful family who didnt chose to be born royals
Scary to think all this happened when some of our Granparents were alive - My Granparents on my mums side would have been in their late teens and my Granparents on my fathers side would have been in their twenties
Imagine how threatened they were to kill the imperial family. They could have just let them flee, but no they had to be executioners of the most vile manner. Sad. Sad!
They killed them instead of letting them escape bc the Soviets knew the Romanovs would have come back with a military made up of many countries. Nicholas and the Romanovs in general would have always been thorn in the side of the Soviets. They didn’t kill them for no reason but to keep them from coming back by trying to take back over.
Yes, give the imperial family a dose of their own executing medicine. You act like they were peaceful little angels. The Czar personally made decisions to murder hundreds of thousands and failed to make decisions that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands more. Give me a fuckin break.
@@Janellabelle What about the 3 million men, women, and even children whom Stalin murdered in his so called, "purges?". What were the children's crime that they deserved death?
Easy to say where you're comfortable at home, with a full stomach and enjoying the life in a democracy. You maybe thought differently if you were starving and suffering.
Even in great despair they found beauty in their days. Such courage and faith. They even forgave them and asked for no revenge. What lennin did was take revenge for his brother. Peace can only be found in forgiveness. RIP ROYAL FAMILY.🌹💞 THANK YOU FOR THE TRUTH. GOD BLESS💝💜💙💞
they really did seem to be content as long as they were together… for some reason that picture prior to their m*rders (I refuse to call it “execut*on”) breaks my heart
Even if i am not a Romanov not even from Russia i still feel upset and my heart feels heavy when i am thinking about the murder of the family. Not for the grown ups but the children they have not done anything to face the end of their lifes
I have watched this documentary multiple times and my heart breaks 💔 ieven more every time I see it. Anytime there's a revolution there is suffering for decades to follow. Here in America we have now had that revolution. Absolutely the same playbook: looting, tearing down statues, anarchy chaos and mayhem. And now yet we have people to be executed. Evil in the human race is the samte throughout the history of the world. This documentary is a lesson to be learned. Innocent people were sacrificed. 😔

@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs I would be surprised if they were kept alive. Not because the Mikolay II family was so bad and hated but for the other 2 reasons. 1. His father killed Lenin's brother so obviously Lenin took a revenge killing his son. 2 is even more obvious. Revolution.
@@yaobikuni1349 The children however were innocent. Nothing can justify the horrid atrocity they endured.

Czar Nicholas and Czarina Alexandra were very much in love. Czar Nicholas was not ready to be Czar. He just needed to be an artist. I am so so sad about this Dynasty.
There was another that wanted to be an artist, he was rejected so he started a political career in Germany and became chancellor for three months, then he became the leader! Always go for your dreams kids!
I am going to purchase some of these, they are amazing. My heart always wants this to all end with them in England or France. Uh, how this bothers me.

It didn't help when the Empress said,'the Russian people only respond to the whip'!! 'They will only respect brutality'. Trying to convince the Czar he needed to be merciless with his Russian subjects.
I guess inevitable fate waited for Romanov Royals. Almost 300+ years of dynastic rule must come to an end due to ever-changing events taking place; to some extent, widespread poverty was a major cause of the downfall of Romanov. How the king can live ostentatiously while their subject lives practically an abject poverty?
The family of Nicholas lived quite simply except for when court occasions demanded pomp and circumstance. They preferred the country estate where they dressed simply and lived pretty modestly. However, it seems the elite class in general had become quite debauched.
@@bordeauxhouse The decadence of St Petersburg elite society made Empress Alexandra withdraw from society. She wasn’t popular with them as she was religious and modest.
Thank you for such a wonderful an accurate story of what happened after all these decades. Unfortunately the story is told over and over again in humanity. Us in South Africa where the disparity between the more privileged and the poor is great lead to a vacuum that can be exploited. Unfortunately the new masters enrich themselves and the poor people who vote in the new change are not better off. I wish the Romanovs had just fled to Corfu or another country. They'd still be alive today...
It was impossible for them to get away. After the tsar abdicated the entire family was guarded by soldiers and prevented from leaving the country. And since that was all over one hundred years ago, they would all have died by now of old age.
I can't believe he didn't cry when he watched the Titanic. Do boys ever cry? Me: Cries inside at the sight of this video. All memes and jokes aside, may the Russian empire live on in our hearts! (if not come back) ☦️
They had $300 billion in today’s money whilst most in their country starved. He was cousin to Germany’s Kaiser Wilhelm II and Britain’s King George IV. WW1 was a family tiff which killed 20 million and led to WW2 which killed a further 75 million people. But he had a kind face. 😊
@@jayellucaz absolutely. As I often say at least Marie Antoinette is rumoured to have said let them eat cake. Nicholas and Alexandra in particular said let them starve. And they did.
@@unclenelvis I do what? Judge books by their covers? How so? Nicholas the 2nd made some horrible horrible decisions that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of his citizens. I've read this in books-- in between the covers. His children did not have that power yet, therefore I think they should have not been executed for the sins of the father. Any questions?
I love history, whether Russian, English or Scottish. You can find bloody battles everywhere, brothers and their sons who murdered each other or were murdered to get the crown and much more. But the murder of the Tsar's family was absolutely superfluous and hard to beat in terms of cruelty. A real tragedy
No hay nada oculto que no haya de saberse gracias a todos pir el gran trabajo de darlos a conocer gracias a Dios salio a la luz todo el mundo deberia saber la historia de verdad
She was living in the Crimea on the Black Sea. She and the tsar's two sisters escaped on a British warship. And a lucky thing, too. The Bolsheviks were close to capturing them.
The story of the Romanov Royals is extremely touch, extremely sadden, it pains my heart when I read and watch the Ramanov documentary. How they were murdered in cold blood especially the innocent beautiful princess and the prince . From the documentary it point out that Lenin ordered the killing of the Royals. Lenin thought he's great and immortal but he failed to realize that he too as a man is mortal and now he too dead. Russia must Revered and adored the martyrdom of the Romanov Royals of Russia.🤭
Yes, Russia must honor and bow before the martyrdom tsar. But the devil does not sleep, the media are turning the people against the tsar, against history. Likewise, the “beloved” Putin does not honor the Tsar; in one interview he even called him bloody and does not stop the media from throwing mud at the Tsar.

People were starving, a crazy wizard guy had (supposedly) massive sway over the government (supposedly) they lost a war against japan and we’re losing a war against Germany, his wife was German, the crazy wizard guy was (supposedly) having an affair with the tsar’s wife (supposedly) the tsar refused to give up any power, Nicholas himself was in charge of the armed forces for some time and that means it was him losing all the battles, Bloody Sunday, the deaths at his coronation (those last two were indirect but were both put on him). That’s about it
It's it's so sad that they all went through this back in those days God bless them low and nobody should deserve to go through what they all did God bless the family and friends I'm so sorry that the world was like this back then God help us all
These informative and historically accurate videos are unbelievably well done. While heartbreaking, to know the horrific fate that awaited the Romanov family, their true story indeed, needs to be told. This book has been one of the most articulate and accurately written stories ever of their reign and their lives. The artistic photography is breathtaking. Our family will treasure this book. If you have not purchased a copy...purchase it now!!!!!!
Thank you so much for your kind and positive feedback! We are humbled and honored by your words!! Best wishes!
@Tony. O'Brien My friend, the extensive and scrupulous investigation for Nicolas and Alexandra "wrongdoings" was immediately carried by the provisional government and found absolutely nothing of what was circulating against him, the Tsarina, and his people.
The act of the murder of Nicolas, Alexandra, his children, and servants was nothing but a brutal act by impure, cruel, self-called
rulers, who drenched the whole land in blood and tears.

@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs hi! What's the title of the book?
@@DimpBac hello! Thanks for writing! Here's the official website of the book. You can find everything you need here and, if you decide to do so, you can place an order: www.romanovs.eu
@Αντίνοος
You can find more on the subject on the book official site (www.romanovs.eu) and certainly a detail in the book itself; PART ΙI: In the Path of Blood, CHAPTER 5 - CAPTIVITY
The inquiry was immediately carried by the provisional government Minister of justice Kerensky while the family was in captivity in Tsarskoye Selo.
"The investigation lasted eighteen days. The committee appointed by the
Provisional Government responsible for examining all the archives that
were kept at the palace, which registered all the activities of the emperor
during his reign, could not find any incriminating evidence. Not a single
trace of the things his enemies accused him of could be found in Nicholas’
records. He was found completely innocent and absolutely faithful in his
duty to his country and his people"
When Kerensky realized that Nicolas and Alexandra were falsely accused, he did try to provide for the safety of the family or even to ship them out of the country.
Little that he (Kerensky) knew that in a few months to come, he would be chased off the country by the Bolsheviks...
I have been following and researching the history of this family since the age of 12 when I was introduced to the book, Nicholas and Alexandra. I found that the lives of this family were so beautifully written about and started my long journey towards finding out more about them and their tragic ending in a basement of a run down mansion. I am 71 now and I still look for books and stories covering the lives of the duchesses and the last
tsarevich. They truly were the personification of a close knit, loving family and I hope their story will continue to be told to future generations and hopefully be an inspiration to families about what a true loving family should be.
I only discovered them and their story nearly 2 years ago and it’s safe to say there’s so many young people who are learning of them and spreading the unfortunate story but also what they were like as people which I’m glad that they aren’t becoming a lost story
Melania Trump is from this family!
Honestly Nicholas should not have named any heir. I think he still didn't get that it wasn't just him they wanted to get rid of but Tsarist rule all together. Michael knew what would likely happen to him if he tried to become Tsar. He did the only smart thing he could do and rejected the throne. Nicholas thought he would be allowed to become a farmer and just fade into history with his family he didn't understand until later that that was never going to happen. Its just sad how clueless he really was and I don't think it's all his fault I think he was kept largely in the dark about the state of the country by those around him . Nicholas I think was generally a good man and he and his wife would have been happiest just being a family. They were terrible rulers who were just not prepared for the roles. Who knows what could have been if Nicholas had abdicated far sooner and retired somewhere with his family to live a quiet life. Heartbreaking story all around .
Nicholas did not name an heir. According to the Fundamental Laws of Russia at the time, after Nicholas abdicated for himself and his son, his brother Michael was automatically next in line to the throne. That is how hereditary monarchy works. Every member of the Romanov Dynasty had their place in the line of succession. The goals of the Revolutionaries were varied. Not all wanted to do away with the monarchy. Many aimed for a constitutional monarchy, like England's. The members of the Provisional Government were all expecting Nicholas' son Alexis to be the next tsar (under a regency, of course), and were taken aback by Nicholas abdicating for his son, too. It was only then that they took a harder line. It's not mentioned in the video, but when the members of the Provisional Government met with Grand Duke Michael (technically Tsar Michael II the moment Nicholas abdicated, and he had been proclaimed as such in some towns and in some army units), despite many of them being ardent monarchists, they decided to present a united front and gave him the following ultimatum: either renounce the throne, or they would all resign and he'd be left without a government.
Nicholas was not kept largely in the dark. Many people (even within his own family) warned him about what was happening, and he read police and government reports of unrest. Unfortunately, he had a knack for making bad decisions....and for being under his wife's thumb, and she truly was delusional about the true state of affairs (even though people tried to warn her, too).
This is such a well done documentary. Even the narrator’s voice is soothing, yet professional and makes it easier to process the information being delivered. Bravo to your team!

Being Scottish we are taught a great deal of British Royal history in school from a young age, it was always topic I looked forward to, as time went on we began learning about the royal histories of other countries and how most houses can be traced in one way or another to queen Victoria. It was during one of these lessons I first began to learn about the Romanovs. One particular lesson we learned about what had happened to the family. I sat at my tiny desk sobbing my eyes out, I got so upset my mother was called to come and take me home because the teacher couldn’t console me, i just felt so heartbroken for them 😔 I was 10 years old 😔 Thankfully this did not stop my love of history!
Imagine how creeped out the teacher must have been by such a bizarre display...
@@bewilderedbrit8928 Not at all, she was really sweet but yeah I’m sure she didn’t have this problem in her class very often 😆
You were taught about such brutal murders at 10 years. Did they also teach you about the atrocities committed by the British empire?
Son was a spoiled and a jerk
It is because you understand what Marxism could do to all ppls:
"One should begin with a socialist revolution to liquidate the primitive rubbish of peoples such as Basques, Bretons, Scottish Highlanders ..." - Marx
Notice how, in the first section of historic footage (showing the Tsar and his children at the Army Headquarters), when the party breaks up after the photographs have been taken, the participants fall naturally into line and begin to move away, in accordance with protocol: the Tsar with the Tsesarevitch, Grand Duchess Olga with Grand Duchess Tatiana (the ‘Big Pair’) and Grand Duchess Maria with Grand Duchess Anastasia (the ‘Little Pair’). If you look at how it happens, you will see how naturally this ‘pairing-off’ occurs - done by people who have behaved this way all their lives, to whom this comes as second nature. Protocol.
WOW, great eye and understanding-- oh wow... thank you for this.... so subtle but powerful....
Gorgeous pictures hideous fatel.
That is how the proceeded into to cellar to be shot.
Yes, what's your point.
@@2121beastmode The point is as other respondents have pointed out: protocol. The formal photo-session may now be over, and the members of the Imperial Family may now be moving away from the camera, but they still observe protocol in what they do and in how they align themselves with each other: (1) Tsar and Tsesarevitch - ruler and heir, (2) GD Olga and GD Tatiana - elder daughters, and (3) GD Maria and GD Anastasia - younger daughters. It's all in the protocol of rank and seniority.
Their story is so sad, cruel and unfair. It brings tears to my eyes. You have done a remarkable effort in bringing their story forward and into the light. RIP their souls to a better place
Thank you SO much, Kim! It means the world to us to know that our work is met with interest! Have you watched any other of our videos? And have you read our book, which is the peak of our project? Best wishes!
They lived rich and powerful before they were alive. It is strange that you, a poor person, feel sympathy for them.
It is sad and cruel, especially the way it was handled, but the Romanovs causes it on themselves. The killing of the grand duchesses was uncalled for. They killed Alexi bc he was the heir apparent while Alix played a huge hand in the downfall of the monarchy by listening to Rasputin. The biggest mistake Nicholas made was leaving Alix in charge when he went to the front line like he was some kind of medieval king. She ran the country into the ground by following Rasputin’s every word. A man with zero military experience should never have been at the front line. He did nothing anyway minus stand in the way. That was another of Rasputin’s ideas.
I agree. I like this channel a lot!! Can’t get enough of their videos!

@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs
Can you put subtitles in Spanish? I like the history of the Romanovs, but I don't understand English.
I felt like crying looking at the expressions in their eyes as they sat for the portrait.. As if they all knew what was coming.. The dismemberment of the already dead bodies tops all the cruelty in the world.. Whatever did they do to be so treated..!!!
They may have known. There’s a sad story about this mystic monk (I think named Adam?) who in 1808 (or thereabouts) left a sealed envelope for the Emperor to open in 1908. The family was expecting wonderful prophecies and was joyful on the way to open the envelope; they were crestfallen and morose after they read it.
@@oledocfarmer ..I do recall a note that was left under the reign of Paul 1, son of Catherine 11, or The Great. Paul was murdered six years into his reign because he had taken away some of the privilages of the nobles and was working tirelessly to undo all the liberal laws instituted by his mother Catherine.
They did all that ISIS did to their fellow countrymen .
It's just natural to feel for exploiter than exploited. Because human understanding call this Divine rule.
Nothing matters in the end. Exploiters deserve Hell on Earth just like those Romanovs, luxurying off of people's blood.
It's time Russia deals with it past and takes down all Lenin monuments and buries Lenin in an unmarked grave. And rename everything named after commies
Lenin was a manipulative, cruel, arrogant, dismissive, calculating, unwaveringly uncaring, all the opposite of Tsar Nicholas. And this only proved correct with not only the murder of the Romanovs, but of subsequent Russians under Soviet rule. Thankfully the Romanovs’ story is being richly retold with fascination and sadness today.
Not only that. Lenin was a male prostitute in Vienna. As he was so compromised, he got employed by foreign agencies(you can imagine which) to travel to Russia in an armored train with more than 300kg(or 3 tones, I'm not sure) in gold, from Switzerland to Moscow(without stopping anywhere) in order to start a revolution. Refusal from all European royal countries to give them asylum also explains the background of the whole endeavor.
True
The Tsar was an anti semitic despot who thought he was sent by God to rule over others. A very nasty man.
Lenin and his comrades were cruel, greedy and godless men. Russia lived under a cloud of ruthlessness and bloodshed. No one was safe from the Soviets no matter whom they were.
Historical life of the last Romanov is fascinating and at the same time tragic
This story is so sad, imagine being one of them.Also, I have seen a video of all the kids playing, they were so sweet
As a one , whose two fore grandfathers got killed by czar' s army in ww1, i get very heart -broken whenever i remember killing of romanov family , especially female members and 14 year old boy of the family
Btw , the semavour that i inherited from my grandmother still bears seal of russian czardom

Amen
Amém 🙏 ❤️🌹
Wow, in spite of terrifying events that kid was still willing to stand up. In addition, even being sick with hemophilia it still took a few tries to kill him off with bullets. Wonder what kind of Tsar he would have been
The reason the bullets bounced off him was because he had so many diamonds and jewels sewed into his undergarments that he was effectively wearing a bulletproof vest.
A single stone would have fed 00s of children who starved every day in Tsarist Russia of hunger and poverty because everything they produced was taken as taxation to fund the Tsars greed nad excess. THAT is the type of Tsars he would have been. A mass killing Tyrant, like every other Tsar.
@@sisyphusvasilias3943 AMEN!!

What happened to the Romanov family is horrific, cruel and sad. I look forward to reading The Romanov Royal Martyrs. I have enjoyed reading about the Romanov history. History has always been a favorite of mine.
The martyrs were the impoverished press-ganged into the army for 25 years and never seen again! These were vile despotic inhumane parasites!
I don't know why I never learned about this family's story-history but I'm happy that I am now. Your videos are an excellent educational tool for those with new or renewed interest!
Because you are human, humans are curious.
This is an old documentary
They have found Alexei and Maria in a grave approx: 230 feet away
And I watched it wonderful beautiful ceremony where they finally laid them to rest in a place of honour
Back in 2007.
I truly believe they were good people. Children so young and hatred took their lives. You can't help but feel for them.
It's impossible to look at this cruelty and godlessness without tears.
May God blessed Romanov's beautiful family! 🙏☦💔
Amen!

Or the fact that the people were sick of starving to death and killed the monarchy in that country for allowing it to happen?
Tell me what makes you sad? What are you feeling sad about?

Thank you ,you all whom made also invested their hearts and souls into all the work in putting all of these short documentary and beautiful pictures,also a brilliant Book ,God Bless you all for keep there stories alive . fr Canada 🇨🇦 P.E.I..
Using the word 'liquidate' to describe murder is disgusting.
What a romantic couple this Nicholas and Alexandra.
Truly ✨🌞
Yeah but it showed why most royal marriages arent made because of love.
Maybe, but his love for her, with her neurotic mood swings and irrational political decisions got them all killed. I really believe that. She was a silly bitch and he unfortunately listened to her! She was borderline abusive to Nicolas and the children with her emotional blackmail and her cheeky English manner.
Evils
YES BEAUTIFUL ♥️
I will never understand why they had to kill the children so sad 😭
According to the Bolshevik Sverdlov, he and Lenin decided that it was necessary to kill “the Royals” lest they serve as a rallying point for the Whites during the civil war. In truth, the Whites also despised the monarchy and would never have backed them.
They were rich didn't want to help the poor
possible is not dead ewrifing .
Im not speak English:)
Sorry .Romanov family Rosja end Poland !
Just like the mafia kill the sons so they won’t avenge them
It was important because had they lived, White army would have an incentive, the spirit to continue the civil war.
Beautiful family that faced a savage ending. How cruel.
Ironic how people before are tired of dynasties yet now Russia is again under a one-man rule. Truly history repeats itself.
That is ironic.
And of course after 1917 it was pure terror
Russia is doing better now than ever by far, while other countries are falling in quality of life…
@nikolaihalliday9807 yeah I didn't even understand her comment. No one is starving under Putins rule.
The "Revolution" was paid for by Wall St. money-Jacob Schiff>$20 million to Trotsky who then purchased an army that stormed the capital. We were lied to about the proletariats.
The way the family was murdered... truly tragic
Why tragic
They’re was a typical tyrants for Russia
Russian empire was a police state
I hated how I was given a false hope by the rumors that Anastasia survived, and hid and got old here in our country, the Philippines. Many believed the rumor and everyone was fascinated by the thought. When the rumor spread, I got skeptical and did my own research. Since then, I am so heartbroken that I could not even rewatch the animated film Anastasia. How cruel this world can be.
Always believe your instincts - Anastasia did survive but she was betrayed yet again by the powers that be - Dont always believe what you are told to believe
@@williamf4544 Her body was found with the other Romanovs and is now entombed in the cathedral in St. Petersburg. Don't believe ridiculous conspiracy theories.
Magnifique famille que celle formée par le Tsar Nicolas II, la Tsarine Alexandra et leurs cinq enfants.
Aujourd'hui le monde entier la pleure. Néanmoins, force est de constater que celles et ceux qui versent des larmes pour eux, sont leurs véritables alliés. Et ce ne sont pas toujours celles et ceux que l'on croit. Les grands de ce monde, à leur époque n'ont pas bougé le petit doigt pour leur venir en aide, pour les sauver. Et pourtant ils faisaient partie "des leurs", de "leurs familles" respectives. Familles degré ZÉRO. Non, les seuls fautifs et criminels n'ont pas été que les bolcheviques. Les responsables ont surtout fait partie de leur entourage restreint et plus large dans le cercle infernal de la parenté. Personne. PERSONNE dans toute l'Europe n'a voulu leur tendre la main du Coeur. Car justement, du Coeur, ils n'en avaient pas. Ils avaient beau partager le "même" sang, leur nature était profondément différente. Nicolas II, son épouse et leurs enfants les regardaient, sans rien dire, sans rien réclamer, car on ne force pas l'Amour.
Ce qui s'est passé à Ekaterinbourg est le funeste résultat de l'Indifférence, de la lâcheté, du calcul et de la jalousie de celles et ceux qui auraient pu, qui auraient dû les sauver.
Gloire au Tsar, à la Tsarine, aux Grandes Duchesses, au Tsarévitch et aux Fidèles et Loyaux des derniers instants. Et Paix aux femmes et hommes de bonne volonté ✨✨✨💖✨✨🙏✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Unfortunately, this is exactly what more than a hundred years of Western history, due to many complicated factors, has led people to believe. However, the truth is quite far from that. In our recently published book, we have presented the real dimensions of Tsar Nicholas' reign, based solely on Russian sources and archival documents, which have never been published in English before. The book, thus, puts to rest many of the negative myths, held for more than a century, and rehashed over and over again in the last 50 years by so many so-called Western experts, who have basically copied and pasted what they found in books written before them based on false and foul information, looking to fit (again) a complicated agenda.
We have published here a few videos as well, that give the truth through the proper perspective. For example, the British renowned Cambridge professor Dominic Lieven, in just a few minutes gives a unique summary of Tsar Nicholas' reign. Use this link to watch it, it's only approx. 5 minutes (link takes you straight to the point of reference): ua-cam.com/video/Ai_NysgnT3I/v-deo.html
Additionally, you can read the following (excerpt from Sir Winston Churchill's, The World Crisis 1916-1918, Vol. 3, p. 224), which gives yet another objective evaluation of Tsar Nicholas' reign:
"... the brunt of supreme decisions centered upon him [Tsar Nicholas II]. At the summit where all problems are reduced to Yea or Nay, where events transcend the faculties of man and where all is inscrutable, he had to give the answers. His was the function of the compass needle. War or no war? Advance or retreat? Right or left? Democratise or hold firm? Quit or persevere? These were the battlefields of Nicholas II. Why should he reap no honor from them? The devoted onset of the Russian armies which saved Paris in 1914; the mastered agony of the munition-less retreat; the slowly regathered forces; the victories of Brusilov; the Russian entry upon the campaign of 1917, unconquered, stronger than ever; has he no share in these? In spite of errors vast and terrible, the regime he personified, over which he presided, to which his personal character gave the vital spark, had at this moment won the war for Russia.
“He is about to be struck down. A dark hand, gloved at first in folly, now intervenes. Exit Tsar. Deliver him and all he loved to wounds and death. Belittle his efforts, asperse his conduct, insult his memory; but pause then to tell us who else was found capable. Who or what could guide the Russian state? Men gifted and daring; men ambitious and fierce, spirits audacious and commanding-of these there were no lack. But none could answer the few plain questions on which the life and fame of Russia turned.”

Amazing to me that this story has remained largely unknown in western civilization.
Amazingly well historically informative and accurate three part documentary series on the Romananov dynasty of Tscar Nicholas and the murder of the whole family. Thank you for these most remarkable documentaries, with increased information being retold with such great videos and thoroughness. Such a sad and horrendous ending to the dynasty. 😢 I had no idea how scheming and cruel Lenin really was when it came to the murder of the Romanov family, especially the children. 17:45
Im watching these to help explain to my grandaughter about the history of paternal grandparents and also to understand the orthodox church as she is a member of the Ukrainian orthodox and my son is a member of the Greek Orthodox like his dad .
Such a sad story brings tears to my eyes . Remarkable video . God bless this martyr family.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
No matter what,these people didn't deserve such brutality
You mean only poor, homeless people deserve brutality of hunger and state violence.
I find it remarkable that the correspondence between family members was in English.
I think I remember hearing that English was the most fluent of Nicholas and Alix’ common languages
I knew Vasili Shulgin's son very well in the 1980s and 1990s. He was the Russian choir director in our church in the US .He escaped to the US after WW 2 and lived in hiding but we knew who he was and who his father was . He told us about this film featuring his father that you see in this video that was made in the Soviet Union in 1957. I watched it in the 1990s. He told us that the Soviets forced his father to make this film after he was released from the gulag prisons in the 1950s and it was full of propaganda and lies
Love and Marriage made in Heaven (spiritual )but fraught with chaos and crisis ( mortal world ) The spiritual and mortal worlds cant go hand in hand to led a perfect life. So heart wrenching . Cant help crying for these beautiful family who didnt chose to be born royals
Scary to think all this happened when some of our Granparents were alive - My Granparents on my mums side would have been in their late teens and my Granparents on my fathers side would have been in their twenties
Very good documentary love it
Glad you enjoyed it!
Imagine how threatened they were to kill the imperial family. They could have just let them flee, but no they had to be executioners of the most vile manner. Sad. Sad!
They killed them instead of letting them escape bc the Soviets knew the Romanovs would have come back with a military made up of many countries. Nicholas and the Romanovs in general would have always been thorn in the side of the Soviets. They didn’t kill them for no reason but to keep them from coming back by trying to take back over.
Yes, give the imperial family a dose of their own executing medicine. You act like they were peaceful little angels. The Czar personally made decisions to murder hundreds of thousands and failed to make decisions that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands more. Give me a fuckin break.
@@Janellabelle What about the 3 million men, women, and even children whom Stalin murdered in his so called, "purges?". What were the children's crime that they deserved death?
@@Aristonika9999 surely, fascism and communism go hand in hand. Neither is worse than the other.
Easy to say where you're comfortable at home, with a full stomach and enjoying the life in a democracy. You maybe thought differently if you were starving and suffering.
Even in great despair they found beauty in their days. Such courage and faith. They even forgave them and asked for no revenge. What lennin did was take revenge for his brother. Peace can only be found in forgiveness. RIP ROYAL FAMILY.🌹💞 THANK YOU FOR THE TRUTH. GOD BLESS💝💜💙💞
You are always so welcome, Laurie! Thanks for following us so devotedly! We are humbled!
they really did seem to be content as long as they were together… for some reason that picture prior to their m*rders (I refuse to call it “execut*on”) breaks my heart
I think it’s horrible what happened to them abdicate yes but killing them it was wrongfully murders so sad 😭
I have always felt bad for this family.
Even if i am not a Romanov not even from Russia i still feel upset and my heart feels heavy when i am thinking about the murder of the family. Not for the grown ups but the children they have not done anything to face the end of their lifes
I have watched this documentary multiple times and my heart breaks 💔 ieven more every time I see it. Anytime there's a revolution there is suffering for decades to follow. Here in America we have now had that revolution. Absolutely the same playbook: looting, tearing down statues, anarchy chaos and mayhem. And now yet we have people to be executed. Evil in the human race is the samte throughout the history of the world. This documentary is a lesson to be learned. Innocent people were sacrificed. 😔

@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs I would be surprised if they were kept alive. Not because the Mikolay II family was so bad and hated but for the other 2 reasons. 1. His father killed Lenin's brother so obviously Lenin took a revenge killing his son. 2 is even more obvious. Revolution.
@@yaobikuni1349 The children however were innocent. Nothing can justify the horrid atrocity they endured. They did not know anything about the outside world, they never got the chance to even leave their abodes. Peace and love is the answer, something this world has yet to accomplish. Blessings to all people and especially the children, suffering around the world. Amen. 😇🙏🏽
So true of your words
Very well directed. Very informative
Czar Nicholas and Czarina Alexandra were very much in love. Czar Nicholas was not ready to be Czar. He just needed to be an artist. I am so so sad about this Dynasty.
There was another that wanted to be an artist, he was rejected so he started a political career in Germany and became chancellor for three months, then he became the leader!
Always go for your dreams kids!
Maria is the most beautiful daughter of tzar. May they RIP in God hands now.
It always breaks my heart for the Romanovs. So sad and tragic.
Um so happy that i got a new video on my fvrt topic!
Hi there! Have you watched any other videos on our channel? We have many more you'd surely love!
Finally the truth about this Greatest Royal Family is being depicted from the ruins ......that was left of them .
Thanks for watching!
I am going to purchase some of these, they are amazing. My heart always wants this to all end with them in England or France. Uh, how this bothers me. I have studied these people since I was in Graduate school, years ago... My heart is just--ugh, as this did not have to happen. There were many paths to being free, and they all escaped them. Thank you again, and I am going to purchase some.....Blessings to you...One day I will tell you about my days in Moscow in the early 1990's.... It was special, and working at the Hermitage was amazing...
Thank you so much! We'd be thrilled to hear about your time in Moscow! Please, do share! As for our book, were you able to find our online store? Best wishes! 🌷
It didn't help when the Empress said,'the Russian people only respond to the whip'!! 'They will only respect brutality'. Trying to convince the Czar he needed to be merciless with his Russian subjects.
That piano at the end is such a great way to a nostalgic/ beautiful end... Anyone knows the name of the song?
So incredibly sad
Truly so! We recommend this video as well: ua-cam.com/video/DD_xdwbV8-I/v-deo.html
Silence with such a sadness in the heart ….God Bless -All Their Beautiful Souls …..🌞
I felt so sad for RAMANOV FAMILY :'( MAY THEY REST IN PEACE.
I guess inevitable fate waited for Romanov Royals. Almost 300+ years of dynastic rule must come to an end due to ever-changing events taking place; to some extent, widespread poverty was a major cause of the downfall of Romanov. How the king can live ostentatiously while their subject lives practically an abject poverty?
Yes. Exactly!! Thank you 💕
The family of Nicholas lived quite simply except for when court occasions demanded pomp and circumstance. They preferred the country estate where they dressed simply and lived pretty modestly. However, it seems the elite class in general had become quite debauched.
@@bordeauxhouse The decadence of St Petersburg elite society made Empress Alexandra withdraw from society. She wasn’t popular with them as she was religious and modest.
Thank you for such a wonderful an accurate story of what happened after all these decades. Unfortunately the story is told over and over again in humanity. Us in South Africa where the disparity between the more privileged and the poor is great lead to a vacuum that can be exploited. Unfortunately the new masters enrich themselves and the poor people who vote in the new change are not better off. I wish the Romanovs had just fled to Corfu or another country. They'd still be alive today...
It was impossible for them to get away. After the tsar abdicated the entire family was guarded by soldiers and prevented from leaving the country. And since that was all over one hundred years ago, they would all have died by now of old age.
What is wrong with this world. Greed, hatred, and demonic!
I can't believe he didn't cry when he watched the Titanic. Do boys ever cry?
Me: Cries inside at the sight of this video.
All memes and jokes aside, may the Russian empire live on in our hearts! (if not come back) ☦️
True I always cry when I watch or read anything about the Romanovs
The Romanovs didn't dissapear they are with God we are tears in our eyes cause they are in our hearts . 🌍❤NAOTMAA ☦
I cried watching videos of Lenin’s funereal or reading about the last days of Karl Marx
Maravilloso trabajo gracias a todos desde españa
Beautifully done, but was this pre-2007 discovery of Alexei and his sister?
Hi! Thanks for watching. Yes, this is an old production which was edited for our project and it presents new materials (images, audios, and videos).
Pobrecitos mis queridos nadie penso en el sufrimiento que sobrellevaban sufrieron lo indecible el rostro de las tres niñas delatan un gran dolor
Tsar nicholas looks so kind and a happy person so gentle person. So sad they treated like that. I hope that they with god now. Amen🙏💖
They had $300 billion in today’s money whilst most in their country starved. He was cousin to Germany’s Kaiser Wilhelm II and Britain’s King George IV. WW1 was a family tiff which killed 20 million and led to WW2 which killed a further 75 million people. But he had a kind face. 😊
@@jayellucaz absolutely. As I often say at least Marie Antoinette is rumoured to have said let them eat cake. Nicholas and Alexandra in particular said let them starve. And they did.
Perhaps you should be careful to not judge books by their covers. The little girls didnt deserve this, but Nick had it coming 110%.
@@Janellabelle yet you do. Interesting.
@@unclenelvis I do what? Judge books by their covers? How so? Nicholas the 2nd made some horrible horrible decisions that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of his citizens. I've read this in books-- in between the covers. His children did not have that power yet, therefore I think they should have not been executed for the sins of the father. Any questions?
Excellent. A must watch
Nicholas should have sent his family to safety. His mother and sister made arrangements to leave Russia, he should have sent his family with them.
He wanted them all to stay together. He had no idea that they would all be murdered.
I love history, whether Russian, English or Scottish. You can find bloody battles everywhere, brothers and their sons who murdered each other or were murdered to get the crown and much more.
But the murder of the Tsar's family was absolutely superfluous and hard to beat in terms of cruelty. A real tragedy
Nicolas ‘ sister, Olga survived. There are still Romanovs today.
Thanks for watching, Kelly! We recommend this video, as well: ua-cam.com/video/IC-D1dZKoCI/v-deo.html
Both of his sisters survived
So did nieces and nephews
Lies
Alexei survived!
Excellent video.
@The Romanov Royal Martyrs I always seem to end up on your videos lol
As long as you enjoy it!
@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs I mostly go here to see who actually knows what they are talking about
What is the name of the beautiful piano music at the end of the video?
No hay nada oculto que no haya de saberse gracias a todos pir el gran trabajo de darlos a conocer gracias a Dios salio a la luz todo el mundo deberia saber la historia de verdad
Gracias a todos magnifico reportage
Its amazing how the Tsar's Mother got away and escaped.
She was living in the Crimea on the Black Sea. She and the tsar's two sisters escaped on a British warship. And a lucky thing, too. The Bolsheviks were close to capturing them.
One can see the deep pain in Tsar Nicolas-2 eyes, This is so painful to know their tragic end.
The story of the Romanov Royals is extremely touch, extremely sadden, it pains my heart when I read and watch the Ramanov documentary. How they were murdered in cold blood especially the innocent beautiful princess and the prince . From the documentary it point out that Lenin ordered the killing of the Royals. Lenin thought he's great and immortal but he failed to realize that he too as a man is mortal and now he too dead. Russia must Revered and adored the martyrdom of the Romanov Royals of Russia.🤭
Yes, Russia must honor and bow before the martyrdom tsar. But the devil does not sleep, the media are turning the people against the tsar, against history. Likewise, the “beloved” Putin does not honor the Tsar; in one interview he even called him bloody and does not stop the media from throwing mud at the Tsar.
Lenin had a stroke in 1922 and died in 1924.
What a beautiful song …..🌞
The Tsar seemed like a kind man.

@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs I am definitely ordering that. Thank you so much. I've always been fascinated with the Romanovs.
@@trawlins396 thanks! Let us know about your impressions when you read it! Best wishes!
Really? So why his people was suffering so much?
@@booliev3275 because they were the serfs.
Really good narrator with excellent speaking voice and pronunciation. But must the music be so loud? I had to strain my ears to hear the narrator.
Im confused. What did the royal family actually do to make the people mad? The people made it seem like they were monsters. The family just seemed a bit out of touch at times, but truthfully I have heard of far worse leaders that suffered less.

People were starving, a crazy wizard guy had (supposedly) massive sway over the government (supposedly) they lost a war against japan and we’re losing a war against Germany, his wife was German, the crazy wizard guy was (supposedly) having an affair with the tsar’s wife (supposedly) the tsar refused to give up any power, Nicholas himself was in charge of the armed forces for some time and that means it was him losing all the battles, Bloody Sunday, the deaths at his coronation (those last two were indirect but were both put on him).
That’s about it
The last one gave him the nickname “Nicholas the Bloody”
Muito bom esse documentário só e muito triste
Makes me so sad what the family went thr3.
For people asking the song at the end is one step closer
so sad. rest in peace romanov family.
It's it's so sad that they all went through this back in those days God bless them low and nobody should deserve to go through what they all did God bless the family and friends I'm so sorry that the world was like this back then God help us all
Back then?
