- Inside of Russia during the Civil War and the Revolution, there were a number of horrific executions which were carried out. The most high profile execution saw the Tsar Nicholas II, Tsarina Alexandra and the Russian royal family being slaughtered in Yekaterinburg. However there were many more members of the ruling family who were executed upon the orders of Vladimir Lenin. One of those who suffered greatly was the harmless and peaceful Princess Elisabeth Of Hesse and By Rhine, who was at the time of her execution a nun who had turned her back on the royal court.
Her husband had been brutally killed by revolutionaries and Elisabeth tried her best to help the poor and needy in Moscow, but Lenin believed she was a symbol of the royalty, and he ordered her arrest. But Elisabeth was executed in brutal fashion, as she was taken to a mine shaft and was thrown down along with a number of former princes and other members of the royal family. Her execution was one which was needless and un-necessary, and one which was incredibly shocking.

Her body is in the Church of Saint Mary Madeline on the Mount of Olives. Both she and her husband visited on pilgrimage to the Holy Land and they donated very generously to many Churches there including the Church in Cana of Galilee. It was her generosity that helped construct the beautiful Church on the Mount of Olives which is a symbol of the Christian Faith in Jerusalem and in the entire world. May her memory be Eternal. She rests there with a nun Barbara from her convent who was martyred with her. Her body was taken by train across Russia all the way to China before returning to Jerusalem.
I’ve watched many of these and this is the most shocking one I’ve saw to date. I learned about the Russian revolution in school but never learned about this, she was helping the people more than Lenin and his cronies. Hope they’re all burning in hell for what they did.
I couldn't agree more with you.👍 I hate what they did to the entire royal family. To hell with communism forever! Blood thirsty animals are all dead.😒
The tragedy is she never got to see Arthur 2 On The Rocks
“Lenin and his cronies” dragged the Russians out of feudalism and into the 20th Century, which is more than the parasitic Romanovs ever did. But never mind - Putin and his cronies are here now to bring war and slavery back to Europe, and they’ve enlisted the Russian Orthodox Church and its Holy Saints to help them do it. No doubt this is a source of joy for you?
Woah, she spent a fraction of her undeserved, inherited wealth to open a hospital. This definitely makes up for the decades of brutal repressions, pogroms, famines, etc. the Russian people faced under the Tsar and Tsarina, with her support!
I really do despise people like you who base their worldview on nothing but sympathetic stories - you don't seem to realize that tens of thousands of russian peasants received far worse than her from the Russian nobility, but never had their story remembered as they weren't big names.
@@seltonk5136 just Stupid!!
Evil has no mercy. It is just destructive. May she rest in peace.
She is well loved and venerated in the Orthodox Church worldwide, Saint Elizabeth the Grand Duchess the New Martyr pray for us 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for bringing her story to light, Now she wont ever be forgotten. A true inspiration.
I remember reading about this - your video honors her very much and was well done.
As horrific as her end was, I think of all the good she did and compassion she had. No mine shaft or grenade can take away from that. That's where evil men with fragile egos fail.
It is women who mistrust women, not men, remember, it is our mothers who rear and influence us when it is women,,
Egos are shallow,, pride is more the foe,,
I did not know about this. It’s absolutely heartbreaking. Can you even imagine being the type of person who would treat another human in such a manner. If you research how long it takes for someone to starve to death, then remember she was surrounded by dead bodies. She was just a Nun. She wanted to just help people. God Bless her.
I can think of Democrats in the USA that would like to.
... the same type of ppl running your US gov today. What do you think war on Russia via Ukr is about?
@@havenhurstgroup exactly this. Marxism was the cause of this revolution. It is also what is happening in America today.
@@havenhurstgroup an inappropriate and disrespectful remark. This is about the martyrdom of a beautiful soul. Comparing her death to a US political party is heartless and unseemly.
A very disturbing era in history, unfortunately repeated many times.
I just learned something completely new to me. I thought that I knew a lot about the Russian revolution, but this was shocking and edifying at the same time. Thank you so much.
How man can be so cruel. Its sad, she was a saintly woman.
Not man. Leftists. All of them are this cruel and inhuman.
Man's inhumanity to man never fails, does it? 😔
Rest In Peace Princess Elisabeth.🥀🥀🥀🥀🙏🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️💐💐💐💐
Compelling tragic and heartbreaking video about the life and death of Elizabeth sister to Alexandra sister in law to Nicholas and Aunt Olga Tatiana Maria Anastasia and Alexei she was a sweet kind warm gentle giving soul
Orwell described what revolutions are about in "1984." (they're not about helping the poor).
Obviously. 😂 Does anyone really believe otherwise?
The Bolsheviks were massively supported by Western interests, including wealthy people in America. It's a myth that it was a spontaneous uprising by the Russian workers, it was massively funded so they could be arms and newspapers.
They died a more brutal death for being born who they are than criminals who get the death penalty for horrific and heinous crimes. Very cruel way to execute a person. I've always said it's no picnic being born royalty there's alot that comes with that, a responsibility and a burden that would break the majority of people. God Bless our leaders especially those born into it, may they always have the strength to do the right thing 🙏🏼
A true martyr and beautiful soul. RIP Beautiful Lady. 🙏
Her story is heartbreaking. as a member of the monarchy, She was only tangentially involved in the aristocratic policy and actions towards the people, and in fact for much of her life, she attempted to provide assistance and care to them. But for her title and status, she was brutally Injured and killed. It always reminds me to not judge other peoples outsides by my insides, meaning many can seem as if they have a charmed life, full of all of the things that one could want, and yet we really don’t know what they have sustained in their own lives. The fact of the matter is she never pursued power, or wealth, but sustained much loss and pain and sorrow all through her life until the bitter end, but she still lived with courage, forgiveness and faith.
Her story inspired the academy award winning motion picture Arthur 2 On The Rocks starring Dudley Moore
Patrick...revolutions are bloody and have always been so. We are humans with many flaws. Remember the rebels (Communists) saw them as foreign abusers of the peasant class who suffered greatly mostly due to Russia never following the example of the West Industrializing and many people were serfs, which was a condition that was wiped out by the 19th century.
@@marinazagrai1623 yes, war is horrific.
@@marinazagrai1623The Communists wanted complete power. If they were really concerned about the well-being of their fellow countrymen, they wouldn't have murdered so many of them.
Even if she was an aristocratic that’s no reason to do something like that to another person. Those people were sick :(
Well that brutality does not surprise me. My Ukrainian German grand mother had her whole family murdered in 1920. She was the only one who survived and fled to Sweden. She was 17 years old. The Communists were brutal and remained brutal.
Wow, horrific indeed.
Another excellent episode, thankyou.
The vileness of political idealogues is highlighted with this horrificially brutal action of revenge.
Thank you for this information - it is new to me.
Rest in peace Princess 👸
Thank you take care.
Weak men who were threatened by a woman who was kind and dedicated to helping others. Very sad indeed.
No. This is the result of Marxism. Read your history on what led to this.
Komunizam je najveće zlo
Great video. What a great and beautiful woman. She was, indeed, a saint.
Thanks for sharing this so sad and moving video tribute . May PRINCESS ELISABETH rest in peace . 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Ah communism cruelty. All too recognizable.
And ongoing.
Yep, they over threw the Czars and put in people that were more greedy, more cruel.
She is the saint after whom our daughter is named. A true modern saint.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote a book called '200 Years Together' in which he shows the machinations of the groups of people that controlled communism, and how those people killed circa 66 million Russians in about 70 years. In our world of freedom of the press it is exceedingly difficult to read this book by this world renowned author.
The Gulag Archipelago's are his great works on the end result of progressivism/socialism/communism! Jordan Peterson does some great podcasts discussing this great work!
@@dixiederivatives I read Gulag 50 years ago, and have read most of Al's books. Perhaps I did a poor job in conveying the basic point, i.e. that the same people that brutally killed the Russian royals were the same people that old Al shows killed his countrymen from 1917 to 1987, and are the same people who have made the access to this specific book extremely difficult. It wasn't Russians that killed these millions. It wasn't Russians who made up the initial Communist Party, or ran the dreaded NKVD. 200 Years Together is a suppressed book. Suppressed by people like Zelenshki, and by the handlers of that shill jordan you mentioned. Tis unfortunate that Alex's excellent breakdown of who did what to who will simply not be read as it should be.
@@jerrycruitt5375 I never implied it was the Russian people who imprisoned, tortured, and murdered, as most are aware it was the corrupt evil marxists at the top controlling their sick government machines. Although in these scenarios there are plenty of sociopathic average citizens who are willing to join in, most are aware they are living in hell! In the USA its somewhat of a different story since many US citizens are so completely brainwashed and vote in power those whose end game is the same as what occurred in most tyrannical regimes. I understand that in the USSR's history and other communist nations as well there was no legitimate way to vote these people out of power. The US by the way is well on its way to having a completely corrupt voting system as well. The democratic party want elections to be just a show with no real legitimate results except them winning.
As for Jordan Peterson being a shill, although he is not a physicist (hard scientist) such as Albert Einstein or numerous other greats of the 20th Century, he is probably one of the greatest minds of the 21st Century. It may be because of people like him that we have a chance at keeping our liberties and not ending up living in a tyrannical centrally planed world that the WEF and its head Fascist Klaus Schwab are trying to create!
@@jerrycruitt5375 In what countries are these books suppressed? It has been my assumption that Jordan Peterson was highlighting Alexander's books. Can you explain more please?
@@flower2289 He's alluding to the fact that Solzhenitsyn's book " 200 Years Together" is referring to the 200 years that the largely Orthodox Christian Russian people lived together with Jewish people (historically anti-Christian since the schisms in the Jewish religions around the time of Jesus), most who were absorbed when Russia absorbed Poland and a few other eastern territories in the 17th century and culminating with the mostly Jewish Bolshevik movement, which saw brutal leaders such as Lev Bronstein (aka Trotsky), and would result in many of the gulag camp commanders (such as Matvei Berman, Israel Pisner, Lazar Kagan, Semyon Firin, and Naftaly Frenkel), NKVD leadership (like Genrich Yagoda), and even top administrators (like Lazor Kaganovich) being Jewish, many chosen specifically for their hate of ethnic Russians and Ukrainians, and the Orthodox Christian faith, which would often result in extreme cruelty and firm repression of "enemies of the state". Since Solzhenitsyn's book is considered by some as "antisemitic", many American publishing houses and companies with leftist sentiments won't sell the book, which is why it's hard to find English translated versions of the book, although it's not impossible to find and purchase one.
Animals, so sad this is continuing today. My Grandparents escaped to Canada a few years before this happened. They told me entire families were beheaded in public.
💔💔💔🌹🌹🌹😢😢😢
Animals wouldn't do this, only humans will.
May our Princess be in heaven
She was a Lovely Woman. How Heartbreaking she was Executed.🥀🥀🥀🥀
Socialism, eh ? Such enlightenment ! Ideas so good they have to be mandatory.
Yeah, that's what they have in common with fascism.
Greetings from Sierra Vista Arizona! I learn something from every video you post. I love history and you're a excellent teacher.
I was there for a few months in '83. Our trailer was behind the shop a snack on the main highway. When Burt Reynolds filmed Smokey and the Bandit II, that shop a snack is in the movie.
My GOD, what a Horrifying Death!💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
So Terrible!!!! But the worst is the humanity don’t learn anything. Everything is like a circle and happens again and again😢
A, wonderfully informative article on the fate of such a good woman. Thank you.
Goodness is always a threat to evil
R.I.P to St. Elisabeth and her faithful companion St. Varvara. R.I.P. To OTMA and Alexei as well. Innocents who lost their lives at the command of wicked men simply due to their connections to royalty rather than for any fault of their own.
Tragic and sad . Such a beautiful soul and a devout Christian. It’s awful how Communism works.
If she was a devout " Christian, " no worries then right! Walking streets of gold! Gold 🤣
@@frankmckee7803 agreed however all life is precious
Delusional
Paris commune was the only experience with communism in the world today.
Actually communism doesnt work.Communists are vermin.
@@ricklee5802official_TSO_No2FAN Even Hitler's?
May the angels never leave her side rest in peace dear lady
Love all the beautiful photographs. She was quite a stunner.
I see how cruelty brought such wonderful people to light. The Bolshevik Revolution and their treatment of others including the Ukrainians and other peace loving Russians.
No wonder Lenin never fully trusted Stalin and instead wanted Trotsky to succeed him, Stalin was even worse and effective.
Lev Bronstein (Trotsky's real name) was a bloodthirsty sadist and brutal killer, and Lenin was a monster. Don't delude yourself into thinking they were nice guys heading a peaceful "socialist" movement until Stalin came along. They were all brutal barbarians and killers. Stalin simply knew Bronstein was an internationalist pawn who would bleed the Soviet Union dry, and Stalin was also a psychopathic maniac who wanted power who was smart enough to get rid of the old Bolsheviks who would have just as easily of purged Stalin if they had the chance. This video relating the cruel execution of Princess Elisabeth occurred in 1918, when Lennin and Trotsky were the top dogs, and Stalin was just one of the pack in the upper echelon of the Bolsheviks. Just like any gang of criminals or power hungry exploiters, eventually they destroy each other because they're greedy.
The Germans had a hand in Lenin’s rise and knocking the Russians out of the war. Unfortunately, the Germans unleashed a monster with the creation of the Soviet Union. Gone were social structure, moral justice, just theft, and military rule underneath a socialist nation bent on destroying the world of organized religion.
"Execution" implies a measure of "due process" which was completely lacking in the murder of the Romanovs.
Very interesting
Thank you
Peace 💕🇺🇲
My goodness I never knew about this lady. What an end.
Your voice is very off putting. You emphasise the end of every sentence so it trails off.
And it's very difficult to understand what you are saying even with subtitles.
So sad.
Terrific and interesting presentation. Thank you
Not much looks to change with that country through the history. Just as crazy as usual in these modern days.
Poor woman. Related to the most powerful family in the world who never lifted a finger to help her.
They couldn’t.
@@mjames4709 Why not?
It’s sad to hear, the regime that took over was worse than the monarchy.
What a horrible cadence to listen to …it sounds like everything ends in a question
What an amazing woman!
once again thank you
Does that count as an execution or just a bloody murder?
Murder. Furthermore it was male on female violence. This wasn’t an execution. It was torture.
That is a sad story indeed.
So sad. People are so cruel. Bad enough they had to kill her but they can't just kill her they have to torture & beat her. Throw her in a pit where took her days to die. Plus the killing of the others. Just evil the ones doing the killing are the psychopaths. Full of hate & jealousy & malice. Just cruel evil people. They surely have an evil dark hardened heart. Isaiah says hell enlarges itself to consume them.
But until our last breath there is redemption in Jesus Christ
The Bible says All that call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved
His name is Jesus.
I believe she knew the Lord Jesus as her Savior. She is safe now.
A 20th Century Martyr, honoured at Westminster Abbey.
So very sad. The world is full of garbage people but the good leave too soon.
Amazing how it takes cowards to kill unarmed women and men
Well done,,,
Savage bizarre people who do nasty things.
It seems that Russia has provided the world with no shortage of misery over the years and seemingly little joy for it's people
Absolute barbarians!
St Elizabeth pray for us all☦️
My God it brings out the total inhumanity of the revolutionary bastards ! So much hatred for people who were simply born nto a system & knew nothing else, yet they were treated like criminals, and those who did that were criminalos themslves ! Rest in peace little lady - I had not heard of her before, but very much respect her now - may she be enjoying the beauty of another more peaceful place & love all around her. Without believing in that possibility it makes all such incidents so pointless ! We hiumans are soi damned ignorant & cruel at times ! What has Russia really achieved with it's current Soviet status & behaviot - nobody respects their system !
Praise God she is in glory now. What an inspirational woman.
She truly had “Christ Consciousness “ and was a martyr. As eternal beings, she is reunited with her husband🙏 I’m glad the Russians recognised her as a Saint!
Such terrible evil. That poor woman.
I recall the prelude to the creation of the French Republic had similar atrocities.
Theses things happen when the price of eggs gets too high. Ask Marie Antoinette.
So sad
Zurdos haciendo barbaridades en nombre del pueblo?? imposible...!
Horrific.
Interesting vid though have to say its not really necessary to mimic a documentarian voice, in fact so many documentarians do it, some better than others, its become annoying and detracts from the information being provided.
What is up with the narrator’s voice ending every sentence or half sentence on an uptick?
Beautiful soul
She was a true princess.
If I could be half the human being this lovely nun was I would be happy rest in peace lovely lady god is now your companion
I’m sure it it interesting but I can’t listen to the commentary, the extended last syllable of each sentence is madeninggggggg😢
It's so hard to understand why she would meet such a horrific death after turning her back on the monarchy and becoming a nun. Elizabeth did such good work for the people of Russia; she had more compassion than the evil men who took her life from her and her family. Those evil men are the ones who really deserved to be thrown in the mine shaft and have grenades dropped on them. May God bless her soul.
What a woman!
What a tragedy that the sins of the house of Hesse shall fall on their descendants until they are no more……it’s sad and tragic…..the killing of the innocents……😢
It seems the Russian Revolution was cursed by the cruelty of the Bolsheviks. Giving in to bitterness always leads to madness.
That's a horrific execution!
@anacletwilliams8315: I love how you ‘understate’ the obvious.
@@johnpickford4222 I am so glad you do. Thank you! I take it as a compliment. You are obviously a very cunning and intelligent human being. May you never have a horrific execution!
This is why popular revolutions are always bad.
I'm surprised there's not yet a comment decrying the comparable evils of capitalism and free enterprise as well as proclaiming, "But this wasn't real socialism."
My guess is that any hardcore adherent to socialism wouldn't be watching a post about the tragic death of a royal personage.
oh shut up.
Why should anyone do that when you already did. Just because you are PRETENDING to not know the difference doesn't mean there isn't one.
Communism is too extreme and does not work.
Just as Fascism/Nazism is too extreme and does not work either. A good economic system looks for the best in anything and willing to learn.
That is like blaming Capitalism for the Corporatism in Fascism.
You did a good job making that point. Evil in any system when it gets total power. Communism is too extreme, and most countries find a mix that works for them. Happiest people in today's world live in mostly socialist societies. Socialist aspects in our (US) capitalist system are very popular (Social Security, Medicare, libraries, postal system, public schools, public highways, police, military, etc)
@@kitsiewr "The goal of socialism is communism." Communism is the evolution of socialism.
@@downtime86stars17
Like saying, "The goal of capitalism is fascism"- but that seems to be coming about.
I have a book called “The Last of the Tsars” that mentions this. This is why Church and State should not be separate, and why atheism needs to suppressed.
Bullshit.
tank you
I tend to think the last generation of Russian royal family were politically stupid even to the point of foolishness, however, in terms of their religious beliefs they were honorable people who tried to live up to the religious values of the Russian Orthodox Church which is why they are somewhat respected as religious figures today in Russia.
What an absolutely stunning looking woman.
Oh my god…the cadence of the narrator is so irritating. Interesting topic but can’t listen to another second.
Never knew this...
Sad the revolution in Russia was a true hell that destroyed all that was good for all the evil that followed how they got themselves out of that horror is amazement
