  • All episodes: • The Romanovs. The Hist...
    In 1613 The Zemsky Sobor (the National Assembly) adopted a decision to invite Michael Fyodorovich Romanov to become tsar of Russia. This decision was announced in Red Square in front of numerous crowds of people: “Michael Fyodorovich shall be tsar and lord of Muscovy and all the Russian state.” In order to prevent disturbances, Michael Romanov had to take a terrible sin upon his soul - to execute a 3 year-old boy…
    The most vivid pages of Russian history and the establishment and consolidation of Russian state power are associated with the eighteen Russian Tsars of the House of Romanov which include such historic names as Peter the Great, Catherine the Great, Nicholas I and Alexanders I, II and III. The dynasty ended with the brutal assassination of the last Tsar, Nicholas II and his family by the Bolsheviks in Ekaterinburg in 1917.
    The Romanov dynasty played a hugely important role in world history, and the series highlights the life stories and characters of the tsars, recounting their rise to power and their contribution to the dynasty, their merits and their faults, their achievements and mistakes, their victories and defeats in war.
    The series also examines the Russian form of 'Caesarism' as a system of state administration - its advantages and drawbacks and how the Russian state changed under the Romanov's rule.
    THE ROMANOVS is told in eight epic one-hour episodes using a unique combination of magnificent CGI animation and dramatic reconstruction with careful and accurate attention paid to each period.

      Superb production and narration. I just finished watching both episodes. I will certainly rewatch, most probably more than once. I can very accurately say I was almost fully ignorant of pre cursed-Bolshevik revolution Russian history. Eye opening. Hopefully, the nation can finally get over this very dark past. I personally can’t get over the Romanovs beyond cruel executions, but it’s been more than a century, God take mercy on this once glorious nation. Have always loved and admired their literary giants - have read Maxim Gorky, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy starting in my early childhood but had no idea that Russia had ever reached such sophistication, might and wealth before the revolt. This documentary cemented my abhorrence of revolutions and revolutionaries.

      @@girumzemichael704 Everything was not so unambiguous, do not hate the revolutionaries, of course they made a revolution on German money, and Lenin himself was a traitor, but the white movement was guided by intervention, England and France actively took part in the collapse of our country, and the people, on the both sides were for Russia. Ordinary people sided with the revolution because they were tired, they worked day after day, there was not enough food, husbands were taken to the front, to fight for other countries, Nicholas 2 made a big mistake by entering World War 1. And the nobility didn't live very badly at that time. That's why people wanted equality. The revolution was necessary then, but in a different format. You can watch the series walking on agony from old media, very good.

    This documentary is great for education, much better than the school books here in Finland. It's always better to also show the human side of great leaders, than just list their achievements in the corner of a page for you to memorize. It makes them feel more real and relatable in your mind. And it's almost impossible to learn about Russian history via Western media, since it's only interested in the Soviet era of Russia (which is interesting too, but it's only a part of the bigger picture).

      Yes, I've noticed; the DC money grubbers are all stuck in "USSR is BAD" mode.
      When in actuality it was CIA contributing to the
      "stir constantly when boiling" - keeping "ish" stirred up from the end of WW2 up until the collapse of USSR in 1992/93. THAT'S roughly 50 years.
      Why are they still stuck in the RUSSIA is BAD" mode?
      Because the threat of a nuclear exchange keeps MONEY funneling into government, M-I-C and defense contractors, and investors' bank accounts.
      They've been RUSSIA again for 30 years and are not the backward, illiterate, "joke-y" country that our ELITES would have US believe.
      Ukraine bad corruption.
      Poland has the Expansionist Dreams.
      The Baltic would prefer a return to the Prussian ways.
      And Germany is a huge instigator of all that is happening at present.
      Putin seems patient, deliberate in the UKR situation...but I believe that RU wins this one, while America is completely unprepared for their own coming collapse.
      Just my two cents...

    Well that was by far one of the BEST documentaries on modern Soviet History and I couldn't believe that 3 1/2 hours went by!
    Absolutely brilliant in it's production and the amount of history that it covered.

      The Soviets are the one that took over AFTER this point in time. They are hardly mentioned here. Russian history is not "Soviet" history. Soviet Union and "Soviet" history is between 1922 and 1991, if one exclude their rise to power type story.

The story of Rasputin is also a romantic example of how awful people can be when they think they are justified using their social network to hurt others. That's cronyism and I hate it too.

      Yes! Poor Nicolas. He hadn't wanted the job and his father was heavy handed and didn't teach him the rules of governing. Nicky's courtesans lied to him about his people, that they loved him and they were living well when the people had nothing. It is a great example of how too much wealth in the hands of few leads to revolution. Much like what is happening in America today.

Most of all the background sound is well in the background not like the modern rush-produced senseless films where the background sound drowns the narrator's words. I am glad that there still exist people willing to spend money on perfect productions. Perhaps someone in Netflix will see this comment. It does not all have to be sex on the kitchen table in scene1!

    This series is very relevant with events going on in the with EU support of Ukraine. Where Ukraine claims that it was never a part of Russia despite the Russian speaking populace, it became part of Russia in Empress Catherine the Great reign. It was ruled by the Turks and captured by Catherine the Great. This explained the looks of many of the people with beautiful Turkish mixed DNA, with Russian language tongue. Now, I understand on Putin's displeasure when Kiev's Zelensky wants Ukraine to be part of EU and allow NATO to be on Russia's border. And did not allow Russia to use the port to be used to transport Oil and Gas to Europe. With this historical facts, Catherine the Great's lover won thiese countries including Ukraine as part of Russia...from 1700 till the end of USSR to the Democratic Russia with a strong leader like an Emperor of Russia's past...Putin. Thank you for this beautiful historical series.

    That is one severely underrated ability in leaders--leaders able to pick out good, competent people. Catherine the Great was not a military genius, but she was really good at choosing men who were military geniuses. Suvorov definitely comes to mind. Her armies were doing so well that even the best military genius of the past 500 years--Napoleon--wanted to join Catherine's armies. (Genghis Khan and his sons came 500 years before Napoleon--they were genius military leaders on par with Napoleon.) That tells you how great Catherine was at seeing and attracting good talent.

      @@annebradley6086 Who are you asking? I got a notification. I'm kind of curious; not sure what you are refering to. Depending where s person is coming from. There are a lot of groups of the period one might refer to as Satanic. I have been reading up on Marxism. It's interesting that throughout history these Marxist takeovers have eliminated relegion. They are anti anti religion. They are in fact "Anti - Christ." I wonder if this is relatable to your reference / question. I also wonder, did I stumble upon the actual anti - christ. Was the book of revelations refering to Marxism when it talks of the anti christ? Marxism certainly is = Anti Christ. kind of an interesting coincidence. Everything they have done in the past sure fits the descriptions of what to expect in the end times. Bring the world together under one rule, 3.5 yesrs of good, 3.5 yesrs of slaughter, men will dye from their hearts giving out, Gog and Magog, I'm sure you are familiar with the revelations. If Marxism is the Anti Christ, then I guess the followers of marxism would be satanic. What if any is your opinion. Even if this is not at all applicable to your thought here posted. I would still be interested in your thoughts on this possibly obvious connection, supposing this is one.

Here in the West, Russians and their history were villanised, they were painted as abnormal, vicious, untrustworthy. I never truly believed it, and put it down to political machinations as the source. I have been enthralled by this sensitive, detailed account of the lives of Russian monarchy. There is great nobility and humanity in this account, and I have greatly enjoyed it. Now I wonder why there was any stigma taught to me at all. A very disturbing thought. There is enough evil in the world without adding hate to children's mind as they develop. People are people, and all the same, no matter where they are from or their cultural background. Why do our establishments insist on brainwashing us as kids?

      Thing is, many people who lived through the existential horror of the Cold War are still alive and many are in government or media related jobs and positions. Plus the Communists did a pretty good job at coloring the Imperial era as evil times run by evil people and themselves were obviously very evil (a government supposedly created to improve the lives of the working class caused the deaths of between 4 and 10 million of its own, working class people via the Holodomor). So it's no surprise that most in the West see Russia as vicious and/or untrustworthy. There is, of course, those like me who can see through the narrative but I also don't blame people from feeling the other way either.

May they all rest easy knowing that Soviets collapsed and God and the Russian people prevailed. ☦️☦️☦️
    Although, I have some minor issues for the ending surrounding Nicholas II I feel like a lot was overlooked in his reign that I felt should be brought up. He and Alexandra were avid cocaine users. None of the families charitable organizations were brought up. Nor was Nicholas II's schedule. I'm surprised no one brought up the fake Anastasia either.

    Wow! I never knew much from the multiple documentaries I watched that Peter made some of the most important changes to Russian history before Catherine the Great took over...This is turning out to be fascinating!

    I love history. This is the best documentary on the Romanov's. I wonder if Nicholas II weren't Czar if the Romanov dynasty would have continued. History does offer someone an chance to imagine what might have happened if there had been a different Czar.

    • @floraposteschild4184
      @floraposteschild4184 Před 3 lety +9

      Maybe, but probably not. They all believed more or less that czarist autocracy was the order of God, and resisted any dilution of their powers. Prince Michael, Nicholas's younger brother and heir presumptive (after Alexei) was brighter, but "gullible and naive". He wasn't the person to pull Russia into the 20th century. This documentary doesn't say much about the conditions of the common people, but overall they were horrendous, as bad as 18th century France. And Russian industry and infrastructure was stuck in the 18th century too, although it was starting to attract foreign investment -- where the workers were treated like slaves. And the Duma was simply a "talk shop", because the czar could ignore it at his whim. And then there was World War I....

    • @ANPC-pi9vu
      @ANPC-pi9vu Před rokem

      @@floraposteschild4184 Alexander didn't resist the dilution of power. He was working on creating a Parliamentary system when the socialists murdered him. Yeah, things were bad for some but changes don't happen over night, and the more that man gave them mercy, the more they hated him. Russia would have been better off if the revolution had been put down mercilessly. The rise of Communism only robbed the former serfs who managed to build successful farms and cottage industries of their lives through artificial famine and persecution. You'll notice that a lot of the revolutionaries were not in fact the working class they claimed they cared for, but lower nobility and intellectual types who really just wanted to seize power and fortune through theft. It's much like the leftists of today who use socialist and communist rhetoric to excuse their own failures while living comfortable latte liberal lives.

      The end wasn't sad. This documentary tells mostly from the side of the Romanovs, not the Russian masses. There's a reason there was so much revolt and assassinations. The Russian Revolution brought in huge benefits for the people of Russia and despite Stalins counter revolution Russia was never again to suffer from the woes of tsarist regime. Good riddance to the Romanovs.
