  • 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.

      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.🖤

      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!

      @@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.

    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.

      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

      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.

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.

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.

    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!

    Wonderful video! Thank you! It has always stuck me how this young man greatly suffered and yet never lost his irrepressible zest for living until finally illness and terror they all lived though those last 18months finally took its told at the end. Jonathan Jackson testimony was very moving as well. It's always remarkable to hear how others love the family. It cannot be explained, only shared.

    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!

    I've been enjoying the Royal Martyrs documentaries on this channel. I just placed an order for the book. I'm Roman Catholic, so we don't venerate the royal family "officially" as martyrs, but I'm inclined to believe that they are all in Heaven - therefore they can indeed intercede for us here below.

    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.

      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.
