The Lost Life of Alexis Romanov | with Jonathan Jackson
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 гру 2020
- For the first time, a video production tells the story of the life of Tsarevich Alexis Romanov, which was brutally cut short very early, leaving behind a legacy of love and forgiveness. The story is narrated by five-time Emmy award-winning actor Jonathan Jackson, who also gives his personal testimony of love for the Romanov family at the end of the video.
Alexis was killed together with his entire family and four of their retainers. According to the accounts of the murderers, Alexis was the last one to die. He was 14 years old. Little Alexis was the first male child born heir to the throne during the reign of his father from the seventeenth century onward. The little boy suffered from hemophilia. The most terrible episodes for Alexis’ health happened when he was injured in the joints, which caused unbearable pain. When Alexis was well, however, the whole life of the palace was transformed. Everything seemed bathed in sweet light.
This a remarkable production featuring an abundance of black and white archival photos and astounding new colorizations by Olga Shirnina. Furthermore, the video includes all the newsreel footage with Tsarevich Alexis in the highest quality.

This video is produced as part of the project for the book "The Romanov Royal Martyrs”, which is an impressive 512-page book, featuring nearly 200 black & white photographs, and a 56-page photo insert of more than 80 high-quality images, colorized by the acclaimed Russian artist Olga Shirnina (Klimbim) and appearing here in print for the first time.

Снимкитв са хубави за времето си. На тях няма никакви призраци, защото Романови са съвсем естествени. Красотата личи и на черно-бяла снимка. Не пишете глупости. Оцветяването е изкуствено.
And he was only 13 years old at the time of his death. Poor child, he never had a chance to live...
Actually they all lived.
There's always one.
Alexei is alive stupid
@Anna M alexei lives
@Anna M no he is still alive lmao
This made me so emotional. It’s so sad his life was cut so short. None of the family members deserve such treatment and it’s a terrible event in history. I hope they are all resting in peace. Great Video!

The Tsar’s cousin, the King of England would not allow the family to have refuge in England because he was afraid the British would get ideas. Very very sad
How could they just shoot them down?
I’m glad the photographs and letters survived.
He looks a bit like Anastasia.
The part with Alexei's friend is what got me choking up with tears
Actually, this is something we heard from a great number of people who watched the video. It really is the peak of the emotional roller-coaster this story follows!
Yes, very moving❤️
The murder of this family is heartbreaking every time you hear it. Even four servants were murdered with them, including the family doctor.
And the girls dog as well. Its remains were also found.
@@starlooker6612 2 of the dogs were killed the French bulldog and jimmy the king Charles cavalier spaniel. And joy the cocker spaniel.survived alexis dog had gone wandering so survived and was later adopted and eventually ended up in england. Said to be a very sad dog
Alexis was growing handsome as a teen , he would of been a very handsome man ! , still watching the book started at the beginning almost half way threw! Is just fabulous ,so much more than any documentary or movies I’ve ever seen wonderful information I never new a true fan of the Romanov’s
What a touching tribute to this most precious little prince. I especially am moved by the images of him simply playing with his dog. And visiting the troops with his father along the eastern front. I think he would have been a great leader if he had been allowed to grow up :(
Sadly, I forgot that he was a hemophiliac too, from his mother’s side. I don’t know when the treatment for it was discovered, but if he had grown up enough, he may have died from his hemophilia anyway, like many of his relatives before him :( One of Queen Victoria’s sons, Leopold, died this way.
@@TheCandiceWang at that time, I think only 5-10 percent of people with his condition lived to adulthood, but I could be mistaken
Alexei, The most beautiful prince in the whole world!
😢yes he was that poor boy rip alexei
@@lavalleeemilybro I didn’t expect this to be 1 day ago
Alexei Romanov, the most handsome prince in the world, until William Mountbatten-Windsor! Just saying. But yes, Alexei was so very handsome. Such a pity his life to was so brutally cut short.
He died in basement with family
@@kellybarracloughno he didn’t. Remain calm the regent endures. Alexei lives.
The Holy Russian Empire shall endure.
There is much to be done.
The respect you’ve shown to the deceased throughout this entire film leaves me speechless.
Thank you.
Thank you, we are very honoured by your kind words! We hope you will also be able to get our book and see the fruit of our project in its fullness! Happy New Year!
It's amazing how Nicholas and his wife, and even his children kept diaries. In those diaries they were always thanking God for His mercy.
Can you imagine what it would be like to have lived in that time? So young and so tragic. I gotta admit that the ending about the letter to his friend really got me. His friend just wanted to see him one more time and he was ready to die in peace. I watched this twice.
Oh God ! What a tragic story...and that last part I watched 3 times; and this actor talking about them, what a testimony !!!
To all this family of martirs ... RIP
Amazing grace 100 yrs later memory/ Amen ❤❤❤❤❤
@@mariamargaritagarcia8049Thank you for your warm words of Love Love ❤❤❤❤❤
It seems their god didn’t do them much good, or any really.
Perché hanno pagato pure loro le colpe dei padri, perché tanta ferocia in nome della giustizia?
Such a beautiful family , murdered so cruelly . Breaks my heart - so real and genuine in life they are inspirational and very brave such scary times they lived and died in
Thanks for watching! Have a blessed Christmas!
@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs
Thank you , you too !!
They shouldn’t have inflicted all those pogroms upon shtetls. Karma’s a b***.
@@mikeappleget482 thanks for your comment here. There are many documented incidents which speak and prove that Tsar Nicholas II was against the pogroms. We share here two of them.
The Kishinev newspaper “Bessarabets”, which published anti-Semitic materials, received funds from Viacheslav Plehve, Minister of the Interior. These publications served to fuel the Kishinev pogrom of 1903. The government of Nicholas II formally condemned the rioting and dismissed the regional governor, with the perpetrators arrested and punished by the court. Leadership of the Russian Orthodox Church also condemned anti-Semitic pogroms. Appeals to the faithful condemning the pogroms were read publicly in all churches of Russia.
After the murder of Prime Minister Stolypin in Kiev (1911), Vladimir Kokovtsov, who succeeded Stolypin, sent an open telegram to all governors of the region demanding that they use every possible means, force if necessary, to prevent possible pogroms. When he submitted this telegram to the Tsar, he expressed his approval of it and of the measures taken in Kiev.

Now they are in Heavan . They are happy
How fortunate for all of us that Nicholas was so interested in photography.
I love the footage and the stills both. Thank you.
His last letter to his friend had me 😭. May all the martyrs RIP
Imagine, being woken up to bed, only to be slaughtered without any trials. What a trauma.
Even he was raised as "spoiled" as what they've said, he has a great heart and empathy. It was so sad, it never happened, because evil has conquered the world.

yes, indeed evil. To be more specific, Lenin and his gang of Bolshevik thugs.......the Bolsheviks were on a mission to kill anyone that could treahten their leader Lenin and his cronies. Hence why they slaughtered the Romanovs, because they saw them as political opponents to Lenin's regime. Those are the facts....Lenin and his gang of Bolshevik thugs were commie rats. They used terror and cruelty in order to take power, and they continued to terrorize the Russian people after they'd secured their power in Russia. R.I.P...Romanov family, they deserved to live long happy lives together. Maybe they are living happily in heaven right now, i hope so...i hope heaven exists because if it does then, i know the Romanov family will be there smiling and laughing like they used to do when they were here on earth.🖤
@@dragoncrown2029 Heaven exists and God is taking care of them now
Thank you for your comment about Alexei, and for sharing those sweet, wholesome stories about him in your last two comments. I agree with you that Alexei never was spoiled, just a very lively, playful, and sweet boy. I read someone say once that whenever Alexei was well, it was like all of Russia was bathed in a sweetlight.
It is really sweet how much he cared about his family and God. We could learn a lot today from his playful, gentle, and sensitive nature. I wish he had lived longer,
he would have been a great leader.
Thank you again for sharing all those stories and info on him. It was really interesting to read. Would you mind sharing with me the name of that book in which you read this information? I would love to learn more about Alexei and his life! If you have any other good resources you liked too, I would like to read those as well. I have been thinking of making a report on him for my end of the year report in school, or for fun over summer, so any sort of online references or books would be greatly appreciated! I will be sure to include what I learned from your comments in my report!
Thank you!
What are you basing that he had a great heart on? The fact that he was a child? 🙄
I cannot stress enough how beautiful this channel is. The amount of effort you put into these videos is so reassuring to me. There are still people out there who love the Holy Royal Martyrs and through their work, keep their memory alive. Through work like this will their memory be eternal. Thank you so much. It would be so appreciated if a video like this was made for the Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna. She had such a pure and loving spirit. May she and her family Rest In Peace and watch over us as Saints of God
Your kind words are greatly appreciated!
Poor little boy, he suffered so much in life and in death. And in afterlife. Any news about the burial of Alexei and Maria? May the Romanov family rest in peace , they are stars in heaven. 🌟
All of the young Romanovs have been accounted for and buried in St. Petersburg.
@@JoMarieM The only ones who are waiting are Alexei and Marie to be with their family.
Still no news, unfortunately... Thanks for watching! Have a blessed Christmas!
@@JoMarieM это не они похоронены! Никаких останков Августейшей семьи не осталось, о чем сообщается в расследовании Соколова и Дитерихса! В Петербурге ложные "останки"!
Pretty sure their remains are still sitting in some Russian laboratory unfortunately.
For years I have been fascinated with the Romanov family and my heart breaks for them. They are Angel's and saints
We are very happy you enjoy our channel! Best wishes!
They were othocrats who did nothing for the poor. They refused to have a parlement. The tzar acted stupidly so they had the faith like king Louis the XVI
I have watched a lot of documentaries about the family but none not as great as this. I know that they loved each other and they loved God. Could you imagine living in the time they lived in?
Thank you for these flattering words, Chad, we appreciate it greatly and we are humbled! wishes for Happy Holidays!
We could be back there anytime.. especially the way things are going.
Τhey love each other and god but they dont.love their simple peoples they live in their world while people are uneducated hungry their only interest how to be rich more and more they eat in golden plates while peoples work 15-16 hours per day just for a plate of food decorative peoples
The couple brought into the world beautiful children that are now saints
Greatest blessing of all!
Why they r saints?
I agree! They're all beautiful! Faces like angels in heaven.
Not saints I think, but angels in heaven ❤️
They were all beautiful children indeed. This is hard to watch because there were children involved. Never will I understand how heartless their murderers were back on that July night in 1918. Alexis also resembles my 7 year old son too. May they all rest in eternal peace and joy. ❤️
Rest In Peace Alexis Romanov! Know that you are loved by so many then and today! Love and God bless!!✝️🙏🏻💛☦️
Touching deeply in this documentary, thank you! Bless you.
I am glad this video was made. Many times Alexi is overlooked in documentaries and it is only mentioned he was spoiled, but the young boy was so much more than that.
What a torment for poor Alexis. He seems to have such a lively and powerful spirit but his body just couldn't keep up with him and caused him unbelievable pain.
Thank you for the wonderful clip of Tsarevich Alexei!! Despite of his health issues, he remains lively & cheerful. He's becoming to be a real heir, mentally, through his tough times of health problems.
Thank you for watching our video!

Profoundly moved by this video commemorating the life of Tsarevich Alexi who suffered greatly during his short life. I have been transfixed by Nicholas and Alexandra from age 17 when gifted with Robert Massie’s book, “Nicholas and Alexandra” by my parents. I have since read as much as I can about them and agree with Jonathan Jackson that everyone should read the letters of Nicholas and Alexandra. Perhaps the young, seasoned by pain and wise Alexi intuitively sensed what was in store for him and his family during their time in Ekaterinburg. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least for a variety of reasons: the Russian sense of foreboding, superstition, mystery, and so on. We honor the Romanov Martyrs’ memories each time we view a video or read another book about them. May the Family Romanov Forever Rest In Peace and Rise in Glory. Thank you for an absolutely brilliant video that moves me to tears.
Does this book include the letters that they shared?
The Romanovs life story til they were given an honorable burial brought tears in my eyes.they are now resting at peace in Gods' loving arms.
What a beautiful little boy. Such a tragic story. A stunning documentary.
I just finished reading Nicholas and Alexandra for the 4th time. Each time my heart goes out to this innocent family and their son and heir Alexis.
I recommend this book highly
What a handsome young man! His story was very well told, so touching, also compelling, and that beautiful music! You did a fabulous job! Thank you very much!
Thank you so much! Your kind words mean everything to us! Have a very Merry Christmas!
I know in my heart that the Romanov family is reigning in heaven with God and will reign forever.❤❤❤
That is our only consolation!

Thanks very much for publishing the life of Tsarevich Alexis Romanov. Congratulations also, to dear Jonathan Jackson!!!
Thank you for your kind words! They are greatly appreciated!
He was such a sunny child. I don't understand the idea of someone hating him. He was lovely.
Tatyana Sokolova: It was not disliking the child himself but absolute hatred for what he represented for the future.
our tsarevich Alexis please forgive us. You should have been our Tsar.
My heart is bleeding.
Yes, he forgave us, but now we need to live a life as forgiving and loving as he did, so as to be with him in eternity!
Hemophilia was a genetic condition in Queen Victoria’s bloodline. By the time of Alexei’s death, he had had a number of small accidents which had begun to cripple him. This was the hold Rasputin had on the Empress- she believed the hypnotism helped
Indeed. She turned to religion because she knew from her family's experience, medicine could not help Alexei. Her favorite uncle, a brother and her sister Irene's sons all had the disease.
Ann...the point would be that Vicky had been told of this condition because doctors knew of this duirng her reign (not at the end of it either) but she had to ruin everything.
Ann Busy
I have Haemophilia factor viii, ( rare condition in females)
I can understand the reason why Alexis's parents, especially Alexandra, would encompass anything to ease their wee boy's pain and suffering
The pain and swelling, especially of the joints, is horrendous.
I'm fortunate that with the medical knowledge and medication of today, this can be alleviated
Not so for Alexis
The pain and subsequent damage, in such a wee boy, must have been indescribable
Stay safe
With regards from Scotland
Some documentaries have claimed that Queen Vic was so horrible to her own prince Leopold - blaming him for getting cut and bleeding so easily, then, not believing at first that it could be possible that her “blue blood” is the very thing that caused Leopold (and Alexei) to bleed easily. I never realized what blue bloods actually referred to - it refers to nobles/royals/etc who intermixed in such a small gene pool that they’d pass this kind of thing down. Hemophilia. I’m so sickened by knowing that that’s what it refers to. I know the queen is just a product of her insane upbringing but she was a cruel woman to these kids.
@@blessOTMA her favorite uncle is my favorite of Albert and victorias children :)
Oh God, how we love this gorgeous young Prince although his life was very short, we were speechless after seeing this video , thanks for giving us the change to see him though only in video God bless him, Rest in Peace 🌹
So much more sorrow with the real moving pictures of all of this nice family. R.I.P.
I love the Romanovs. I've been fascinated by their humility, piousness, and grace. Their story is so tragic that my heart recoils at the thought of how they were brutally murdered.

He wouldn’t have made it to adulthood. He came close to dying several times even before the revolution. The crown would have passed to Nicholas’ brother had the Romanov dynasty survive.

Da my russian comrade
I was watching this video and I was so moved by this young man. I mean the suffering he went through at such a young age. I feel like when he was feeling well he was on top of the world! It was nice to see the love that existed between him and all the family members. I really enjoyed seeing how mature Alexis had grown. I feel like he would have been a very wise and compassionate ruler. I wanted to cry by the end of the video. Alexi's friend had said something about his Alexi and why couldn't they have spared him. Surely there was enough room in Russia for one more person! That really got to me! Also the actor Mr. Spencer explained about how much the Royal Family meant to him and his family. I felt touched by the love and depth of emotion in which he spoke about them:) I'm not Orthodox, but I prayer for the Royal Family, and for them that there at peace in heaven 🙏 together.
A very bright boy, he was a fine judge of people. He was everything his parents were not. The lost czar.RIP alexei
Such a pity Alexis was not able to rule, had the revolution not taken place, I am sure that Alexei had the grace, the empathy, the love for people as a result of all his personal suffering, the plight of the Russian people would have been much improved.
Norine...that would have never happened...the revolution was a long time coming. In the middle of a war, when things are chaotic was a simple thing for the Swiss to bring in Lenin incognito! There weren't that many people in the side of the royals, and even a healthy prince is a threat to the goal of the revolutionaries. The latter wouldn't have taken a chance of a surviving heir ruining their plans of "saving" the country for the peasant class.
It is difficult to say what would have happened. The world was in turmoil, many tragedies would occur sinking of the Titanic, Lusitania, 1919 flu pandemic, WW1, The Great Depression... Russia was struggling with its identity and had little hope for a positive future. It needed a Leader who would liquidate it’s treasures and invest them in it’s people.
It's always tempting to speculate but what we do know is that by receiving the crown of martyrdom, or passion-bearing, the Imperial Martyrs gained the most glorious destiny possible and òne they would not ŕegret by any means.
Seems he must have had a premonition about what was coming. Smart, compassionate, handsome boy.
I love how while they talked about Alexis a „one out of seven children doesn’t has enough food“ advertisement comes..
Alexis often gets overshadowed by what his condition brought, Rasputin and the idea that his sister escaped. I’m glad this documentary covered him. He also wasn’t portrayed as delicate or simply there, he was part of a family, a member of the Russian country and a human being
Simply beautiful! I just sat here to enjoy learning more about this little boy, who lost his life not only to death but to his disease as well. This boy here is the picture of the entire family's love, patriotism and faith. And no words can describe how much I love him and I wish him to be at peace in heave, watching out for us! And as Jonathan spoke about his love for the Royal Martys, I just felt that we were the same person, because we share the same views, thoughts and feelings about them. The way he spoke about how he felt their grace the more he read about them, is the same as I feel everytime I read, watch and listen something about the Romanovs.
This family shoud be the role model to any family out there! And, as Jonathan said, more and more people should learn about them more, not the superficial stuff, especially what it was not true, only for the sake of prejudice. Open your heart and you will feel their grace as well!
It was a wicked and horrible end for the Romanov family...victims of circumstance...
Thanks for watching! Have a blessed Christmas!

@@mcmd2009 victims of the evil in our world...
May Romanov Royal Family rest in peace, in the arm of Jesus, Amen.
Thank you soo much for allowing this beautiful and blessing that you have given to us by getting to meet every little detail on The Romanovs. We would've never gotten to know them and put them deep in our hearts!
And a big THANK YOU for YouJonathan for being there both in heart and in soul..and just listening to your message is an example to all of us!! God bless you and your family !
And to the monastery for providing and feeding us with THE ROYAL MARTYS ROMANOVS..May God rest their souls in peace.......
Thank you very much for this beautiful video of Alexis and his life. I was impressed by the fact that he was born on a Friday, the day of Christ's Crucifixion. It seems to me as a sign for his martyrdom. He bore his illness with so much patience. My father also was a hemophiliac. He had a rather mild form of this illness but I do know something of the terrible pains Alexis must have suffered after bleeding in the joints as my father had also these bleedings. My father, luckily, lived until the age of 88 as we now have the clotting Factor hemophiliacs need. But this is a reason why I feel so close to this family. They are now with Christ and pray for us.
Thank you for watching, Franziska. Thank you, also, for sharing these personal thoughts and experience here with us! Our warmest wishes for happiness and for a blessed Christmas!
I think his innate gentleness and willingness to grow in confidence and compassion he would have made a great rule. So sad he was never given the chance.
Out of all the Romanovs, Alexei is definitely the most tragic one, not just cuz he was the youngest one, but because he didn't let his hemophilia get in the way of him having fun and helping out. In a way, it kinda reminds me of myself; I have a bunch of vitamin deficiencies, and I'm prone to headaches, but I try to hide them so I can get schoolwork and fun things done
A lot of focus is on the 4 sisters, but I decided to watch this video about Alexis. You can sense he is genuine, and his spirit and soul shine in this video. He would have made a great Tsar. May his soul rest in peace. Watching this made me feel very emotional. He was a treasure, and you can see his family's love for him. 104 years later, you are not forgotten.
@123benny4....
THEIR LIVES REVOLVED AROUND ALEXIS, THE FOCUS WAS ALWAYS ON ALEXIS... THE 4 SISTERS WERE NURSE MAIDS TO ALEXIS... HE WAS THE CENTER OF THEIR UNIVERSE & HIS 4 SISTERS WOULD, WITHOUT HESITATION, GLADLY MEET HIS EVERY NEED... VERY VERY LITTLE FOCUS WAS ON THE 4 SISTERS... JMO...
@@kellyhoover7750 Ok, ok. Take a deep breath and calm down. You seem a bit worked up.
@133Benny4: gack! Being dead doesn’t change him from being a selfish, spoiled brat! Read my comment earlier in this list.
@ KellyHoover: complimenting a little 💩 just cause he’s dead seems to do that.
Had he lived to be czar, which is doubtful, he would have been as clueless and stupid as his father and as bad for Russians as his ancestors; some of whom weren’t clueless and stupid; they just didn’t give an FF about the millions they ruled.
This is always heart breaking. So much for the family to carry. No wonder they had such faith and love.Thank you for sharing this
as it left me smiling about who Alexis was.
God Bless 🙏😊
Thank you for watching! Have a most blessed Christmas!
@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs Thank you, You all have a Blessed Christmas as well.😇💞🙏
Thanks so much , for making this ,they will never be forgotten. May the Rest In Peace 💜☦️
Thanks for watching, Barbara! Wishes for a wonderful Christmas!
Alexei was a beautiful baby, toddler, and child. RIP🙏.
Thanks for watching! Our warmest wishes for a wonderful and blessed Christmas!
If he had lived long enough Alexei would have been a wonderful husband and father. No one could have raised him better than Nicholas and Alexandra.
He certainly wouldn’t have been a wonderful tzar and his mother would have been the mother in law from hell. These were not parents who planned well for their children, or at all.
@@loditx7706 You don’t have a clue. It’s funny how modern people feel entitled to pass judgment on others’ parenting when they allowed the government, school & daycare to raise their children. Don’t project your ineptitude onto others.
How can you make such a statement were you related to them ?? And why show such dissrespect god knows how different Russia wouldv been had they lived !! And iam certain that something like 40 +million peoples lives were ravaged by death and torture and long imprisonment in siberia mightv had a better chance at living some kind of life even if it wouldv been in poverty but under the communist dictatorship some 80 million people lost their lives hitlers 6/to 10 million + just killed by hitler was over shadowing by Lenin and Stalin allthough the whole amount of peoples lives lost in world war 1 and 2 was staggering over maybe 200 million people plus horses and god knows how many more animals we’ll never know the real amount of damage that was done just by 3 absolute creatures cant call them human because animals and other creatures dont kill for those reasons creatures from hell they were we must never never let that happen again so please rethink ok ✅?? ☮️💟🕉️☸️🛐💜🌹😍🩵🍀🌈🌈🙏☔️❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇮🇩🇮🇩🇺🇦🇺🇦💕🐚may peace and love 💕 reighn 🙏🙏🙏🥰😍😘💕
Beautiful documentary on Tsarevich Alexei. Sweet Angel 😇 of heaven. God bless you and The Royal Martyrs may they never be forgotten and remember us in there prayers 🙏🏼☦️❤️.
the clock is ticking faster
There's one thing you forgot to mention. By the fall of 1915, he had a crush on a girl named "Irina". Funny because that was the year after he said he was going to marry princess Ileana of Romania. I got this information by reading the letters of Tatiana.
Itzz...his mom wouldn't have allowed him to marry someone from Romania...Olga (I think) rec's an offer of marriage from the king of Romania "Carl" but her mom said she shouldn't accept this...and then she died (she would have survived had she been married).
Thanks for watching! Have a blessed Christmas!
@@marinazagrai1623 Yes, that is true. That is because his mom had an argument with queen Marie of Romania, because she called the Grand Duchesses ugly.
@@starrymoonlol probably Olga who was the less pretty of the 4.
@@joseeduardotschen9186 She called all girls ugly, because they sunbathed in Livadia and their skin color became darker.
At 19 I read the book about The Last Zar of Russia and his wife. I fell in love and have always been so angry at what they were put through.
Hello there, Carol! Thanks for watching our video. If you are really interested in the truth about the life and death of the last Romanov family, as well as to what really took place in Russian during that turbulent era, then we highly recommend our book, which offers previously unpublished materials strictly from primary and archival sources. Our book brings to light a multitude of unknown and unrevealed facts, which evince that many truths remain silenced or distorted to this day. If you like to learn more, you can visit our official website: www.romanovs.eu/en-book
In the pages of the book, the eye of the reader’s mind will be apprised of the portraits of the Romanov family's psyche, depicted with the colors of their very own words from the personal writings of the family and of those who lived very close to them.
Poor Nicholas was totally unprepared for his birth right once it was abruptly thrust upon him, but it sure looks like he wasn't making the same mistake with his own heir. And I agree with something another person commented on, Alexis would have been a stellar Czar if he'd only got the chance. Kindness can't be taught to someone - you're born with it or your not, but Alexis had it in spades. What happened to that family was evil.
PERFECTLY SAID !!
Nicholas was 26 years old when his father died. He should have started training him in his late teens. Very sad story. There's a lot I don't understand about the Romanovs.
But since Alexis had hemophilia, he wouldn't have lived a long life. The treatment for the disease was almost non existent at that time. Most boys died in their 20's from it. It was only in the 1950's and 1960's that treatments were found that prolonged boy's lives.
Thank you, Jonathan, my Brother in the Orthodox Faith. When I began the process of my conversion to Orthodoxy in 2013 (I was, at that time, a Baptist Christian), I had the distinct impression, very strong and very encouraging, of the Romanov Martrys' participation in this process. I kept an Icon of them on my desk, even before I knew of the proper veneration of Icons. I thank you for your participation in this video, and the artistry that you have brought to it. Your love for and respect toward the Romanovs is very well expressed in your words and your tone, and I believe you set an example for the rest of us to follow.
Actually, the Romanovs were not royal, they would be Imperial Martyrs.
Your colorized photos are terrific; they really bring the subjects vividly to life.
Breaks my heart.. May God bless them all
Amen!
Endless tears, endless. Thank you so very much. God bless you and your beautiful family. You are in our prayers. God protect you all.
Such a beautiful video about such a sad life. Still, it seems he tried to do as much as he could in the short time that he had. Thank you for making these. I especially appreciate the music.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are happy you enjoyed the video. Have you been able to watch any other of our videos here yet? Warmest wishes for a blessed Christmas!
@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs I've watched a few of them and I got your book! I'm still reading it, little by little. The pictures are just wonderful. I don't see them as people in a distant past, but as beautiful young people who could be walking around today. You did excellent work there; especially the colorized photos. Thank goodness the Tsar liked to take pictures!
@@calendarpage thank you for this wonderful feedback! We're glad that you enjoy our book and our video productions here. Yes, the family is so alive through their pictures and writings, so much so that their loving example shines through the ages inspiring generation after generation. Best wishes for happy holidays!
Such a sad but beautifully narrated video.This was a horrific murder of a whole family,so cold and calculating.I hope they all R.I.P. for ever,non of them deserved this terrible death.Thank you for presenting in such a lovely way.😭😭🌹⚘👍
Beautifully told! What a brilliant unique look into Alexei's life. I especially loved the rarer candid videos of him being a naughty kid. I especially appreciate not lingering on their dreadful murders as the sheer horror simply destroys my soul. IF ONLY Tsar Nicholas had taken King George's suggestion to seek refuge in the U.K. How history might have played-out so differently. It's really uncanny how much Alexi and his Father look like proper Windsor's! Such a heartbreaking story, but what a beautiful life that boy led when he wasn't suffering in pain or fear in the end at the hands of the Bolsheviks. Thank you!
I cried all the way through this, so sad and such braveness faith and love , his little friend even after all those years was still broken hearted at what happened to his friend , great documentary about a terrible tragedy
Holy family with pure Christ energy.
The Grace of God is with us

I feel so sad for this beautiful family.... Not fair for what they had went thru...R.I.P.
Amen! A very Merry Christmas to you!
Thank you for this beautiful tribute to the Romanovs, and to to the Czarevich Alexei. He had the potential to be a great leader. He had the great role model from his father. Czar Nicholas II took him everywhere, clearly teaching him. He had the loving support from his Mother, and from his loving sisters, doctors, tutors, soldiers, and friends. He was raised with strong Orthodox Christian faith. I’m not Christian, but I see compassion & goodness in his family & upbringing. I hope to see Maria & Alexei be United with their family in the Russian Imperial burial site in the Peter and Paul Cathedral in St. Petersburg soon.
positivelybeautiful1: It was Alexei and Anastasia whose bodies were separated from the rest of the victims in an attempt to dispose of them quickly; the murderers likely thought that it was Alexandra but in reality, Anastasia. In late teens the vertebrae in the spine close. The three eldest daughters were 24, 21 and 19 and the skeletons in the pit had their vertebrae closed. Physical proof that it was Anastasia along with Alexei whose remains were found in 2007.
@@johnpickford4222 thank you very much for the clarification. I appreciate it Very much.
Thank you for your wonderful testimony 🙏
Thanks for this series...it's so beautiful and moving
You are very welcome - thank you for watching! Have you been able to watch any other of our videos here yet? Warmest wishes for a blessed Christmas!
@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs Yes I'm trying to watch them all and a blessed
Christmas to you as well
The only reason I was so affected by the murder of the Tsar's family was because my son resembles the Tsarevich. My son is now 24 years old.
Indeed? I was wondering how Alexei would look like when he get older. Could I see your son? Email?
RIP Beautiful little angel 💔
Thanks for watching! Our warmest wishes for a wonderful and blessed Christmas!
Aleksey was a true prince , by blood and specially by heart .
Thanks for watching! Very best wishes for a wonderful Christmas! 🎁🎄
@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs Thank you so much for your wishes , it won't be this year but I keep hope for a wonderful Christmas someday . Have a magical Christmas filled with love and happiness .
@@LivadiaProductions Amen! All in time due 😊
Beautifully explained. This same love we must feel for every “martir”. Thank you. God bless you.🙏
Some of the latest British videos are so tough on the Tsarina, especially her relationship with Rasputin. I’m sure she was willing to move Heaven & Earth to help her son.
Unfortunately, the propaganda spread around against her at the time has had such a permanent effect that people still cannot open their hearts to the truth that she was simply a beaten-down, cornered women who loved God dearly. All she ever cared for in the world was her family. I have never known/known of a family that was/is so united, so pious, so pure, and so loving as the family of the Holy Royal Martyrs Romanova. May they Rest In Peace with God ☦️
@@Omar-yi2mv because they didn’t know that the Tsarevich had hemophilia. A misterious figure besides a powerful figure is always suspicious.
Did British video mention the advice in written given by Lord...(?) to king to withhold the invitation granted beforehand following personal request after abdication from Nicholas II & his wife (Queen Victoria's granddaughter) to give their family refuge in UK in spring 1917 ? The blood of killed by bandits 5 innocent royal children on George V ( & his personal adviser) hands forever.
The poor woman was carrying a major guilt complex (unnecessary, to my way of thinking--it was what it was) because of the fact that her relationship with Queen Victoria caused Sunny to pass on hemophilia to her beloved son.
@@viktoriaironpride4977 Perhaps you’re right. And doesn’t a woman like that deserve empathy and respect rather than harsh judgement and criticism?
This video was so _very_ touching. I absolutely loved this video and Jonathan Jackson who spoke at the end of the video. I watch every video of Tsar Nicholas II and his family that is positive, especially this channel.
Thank you for following our project with such interest! It means so much to all of us here! Are you aware that the main fruit of our project is our recently published book? Here's the link to learn more, if you like: www.romanovs.eu/en-book Best wishes!
Thank you for your hard work on this channel. Your dedication is touching. I can't seem to get enough of the tragic, brutal end of the beautiful royal family of Czar Nicholas. In fact, we named our son Nicholas Alexander. God bless. Merry Christmas. Stay safe folks.
Thank you for your kind words, Gary! It really means a lot! and what a wonderful thing that you named your son Alexander! May God's blessings be with him and you always! Warmest wishes for a wonderful feast of the Lord's Nativity!
