Haw is it possible that people who are directly responsible for breakout of revolution could become martyrs? This is a classic oxymoron.
@@rebuzz6866 "people who are directly responsible" I honestly don't think Nicholas' children had anything to do with it; other than that, yes, I do agree that Nicholas himself wasn't that good of a ruler (though quite pious and a good family man) who's family didn't deserve death (keeping in mind they didn't just stop with the deaths and mutilation of the corpses of not just him but his wife and children as well as their servants either but also went after all of the Romanovs they could get their hands on, not bothered by whether they were directly influential in politics or whatever their personal views were, or even involved at all)
Chances are a lot of what we know about the last Russian Tsar is simple Bolshevik propaganda where we tend to forget the minor details like the daughters working as nurses during war time (I believe Anastasia was too young though?) and Nicholas' anonymous charity funding and donations, he wasn't the direct cause of the war that saw the dynasty fall either.
If anything, these people, who meant to do good and truly believed in God and were murdered for their supposed crimes (were the children and servants even able to be held accountable? imo they were innocent and definitely passionbearers)
Another layer of somewhat counterargument (though I agree Nicholas could have probably tried to do things differently) is that the autocracy and nobles were very much corrupt, he had to appease his court just like any other Emperor, and those men neither wanted nor would they ever have accepted change.
TLDR: They were good people that did what they believed was right, keeping in mind their good spirits and faith in God, humility and other virtues as well as pure devotion to doing good they truly deserve to be recognized as passionbearers after getting their lives robbed from them by these honorless criminals.
The murder of the Romanovs was absolutely heartless and disgusting, especially considering the five innocent children. And watching this film makes it even more clear how pointless and unnecessary their deaths really were. Great film.
Yeah, but it still doesn't justify killing the children who had absolutely nothing to do with the political drama and chaos occurring in Russia. They should have just sent the children to another country and banned them from Russia entirely. Not murder them.
In a monarchial dynastic system the family members are very much a part of the "political drama" just by existing. Once it became clear that they would or could not be "extracted" from Russia by any of the ALLIES, their fate was sealed. It was apparent to the Bolsheviks that they were "expendable".
If they only executed the Czar and/or even the Czarina on a trumped up "enemy of the people" treason charge, if any of the children survived, the dynasty would have continued in exile with a direct legitmate heir(s) as the figurehead.
The Bolsheviks did the expedient thing and committed these atrocities of their "liquidation" w/o a 2nd thought. In their eyes the thought of any of the surviving Romanovs loose plotting counter revolution in Europe, Asia (or the USA!) was a non-starter. That any of the survivors would have been allowed to live in the new USSR or lead a "normal" life outside of Russia is a fantasy.
Phil Ad, not all governments felt that way. The Provisional government had no plans to execute the Tsar or his family, and in fact tried to encourage other countries to take them in. The primary reason for sending the family all the way to Tobolsk was to protect them from the bloodthirsty revolutionaries looking for blood.
I cannot get ten minutes into this without tearing up. So sad and pointless and cruel was the fate they met. Not deserved.
@@undeadnightorc the provisional government was a bourgeois regime not the Bolshevik one
No one ever questions the love this family shared! He may have been a terrible tsar but he was a great father and husband! RIP .
He was a shitty father. Couldn't even save his children from death.
But was he a terrible tzar???
Lies, all lies. The Communists took over France first, then England, Russia and America. Our history is a lie.
@@tlcetc4506 terrible or not, he was deluded if he really thought he could just abdicate and that was the end of it.
@@tlcetc4506Like every leader, he made mistakes. That being said, there's more than enough evidence that shows that Russia had thrived in many aspects under his rule. If WW1 had never happened, I honestly think the country might have improved even more.

Agree! The actress who played Olga looks exactly like Grand Duchess Olga.
@@1rsalc Especially Tatiana! Her features and her hairstyle are so much alike.

They act so well that I forget they are just acting out the Romanovs!
The film is brilliant! Only Russians would have been able to recreate their one history so well. Apart from the excellent cast, what a blessing it is to listen to the sounds of this beautiful language!
I watched the Fox Studios animated movie as a kid and became obsessed with the history of the Romanov Family and researched as much as I could. 23 years after I saw the movie, my second daughter was born (3 weeks ago) and I named her Anastasia
May the Lord bless you and your family, dear. ☦
My granddaughter is named Anastasia too because my daughter loved the Tsar and family
47:45 My tears are in my eyes. Alexei is such an angel. To protect his friend, he even lied to his mother but later he still asked for forgiveness. His mother definitely knows his little plan. But to protect her son, she pretends to be fooled. And the music is just about right. I feel sorry for the Romanovs. They should not have been executed in that manner, no matter what.

@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs Even though the authors of this film might have had the best intentions, the film is very far from being "historically accurate", and the way Nicholas and Alexandra are depicted in it is quite controversial. Some may like it and some may not, but regardless of personal tastes, the film simply depicts many of the events and characters inaccurately.

• The unknown (silenced) achievements and great reforms of Tsar Nicholas' reign.
• The events of the 1905 revolution and Bloody Sunday.
• Russia’s and Tsar Nicholas’ involvement in WW1.
• The plots and conspiracies to overthrow Tsar Nicholas from his throne.

So, a couple of months they 'suffered' was more brutal than those hundreds of years the Tsars ruled, imprisoned, killed or exiled other human beings? Why, because it was their 'divine right' to shit on others, huh? Lol
@@vaestkusten6041 Okay Trotsky, take a break.
I like this movie and wish I could find it on DVD to buy. The actors are completely believable as the characters they are portraying. Good job to them.

Ur no lady . Ur a man
The EMPRESS Alexandra FEODORVNA Is portrayed in a more favorable light than I have ever seen. If I am not mistaken the scenes inside the ALEXANDER Palace where actually shot in the palace. Well done .
Very well done and it brings forth the deep sadness many feel at the horrible loss of the Imperial Family. A wound I feel everyday and will until I die.
It is the most accurate film to date about the events it depicts! It really is a gift to all of us!
Naród raczej nie , żył w nędzy a on w babilońskim przepychu
What a beautiful film about the most heinous crime of the centuries. This bittersweet movie shows the beauty & charm of the family amid their opulent existence mixed with the political brutality of their circumstances. The film company achieved the storytelling in a very proper high-quality way comparable if not superior to BBC/PBS standards for historical accuracy and perfection. The viewer becomes riveted. In the end, you realize the children were innocents, the girls virginal, the boy and heir but a mere sweet child, the Tsarina a caring mom, and the Tsar a devoted dad who probably just wanted to spend his days as a gentleman farmer and family man. There just wasn't enough hours in a day to also be Tsar, he'd have to be omnipresent. Definitely these people are saints or martyrs or passion-bearers, whatever the proper distinction. The film is long, in two parts, at first think you might not be able to do it, but in the end, you will be in tears and feel it wasn't long enough.
Wonderfully accurate review! Thank you for sharing!
I saw a picture once of the Tsar Nicholas II shoveling snow, (I think it was during their captivity, not sure what location) but he seemed content to just be doing normal things like being outside with his kids shoveling snow and it broke my heart to know what happened to them. They had no way of knowing, and doing what they thought was right. The Tsar even gave up his throne and it was still not enough.
I thought it was so cute that the Grand Duchesses used a little slang, like "she's up to her neck with stuff."
The last Russian tzar was a family man rather than a man of state.
He indeed was a family man, but he was also a very good leader! Contemporary propaganda has distorted the truth. Our book focuses on that, making use strictly of primary and archival sources: www.romanovs.eu/online-store
Jo Watson, also the french king, Louis 17 was a family man and did not want To shoot the mob that Marched on Versailles. He did not want to spill French blood
It's not RIGHT: THIS POINT OF VIEW WAS A REAL COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA.
HE WAS A MAN OF STATE AND HE LOVED HIS COUNTRY WITH ALL HIS HEART.
BOLSHEVISTS KILLED Him and His children and beloved wife.
We should ask Him to forgive us for what we had done and pray God to help us.
@@user-kt5db5lx2g we agree with you 100% Any serious historical researcher of the 21st century can easily read and see that Nicholas II’s reign was remarkable and he himself was far from being the weak and naïve leader or the cruel and bloody tyrant portrayed by communism and the West! The fact that these 2 diametrically opposite extremes were attributed to him should be enough to make someone think of the absurdity! Was it not very natural that a century of communist propaganda would do their very best to distort this truth? One only needs to read the (Russian) archival documents and sources. It is all available now.
How about Bloody Sunday, 1905 year. Google it..... Letting alone all other crimes against humanity.
Спасибо большое спасибо Аминь!

i feel so sad specially for the little boy...alexei ...he did not deserve that
Evil has no limits and no logic!
@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs correct. That's why millions died needlessly under Nicholas.
As a Protestant I don't believe in Saints, but one cannot deny the piety of the Romanovs in captivity or before that even.
Nicholas may not have been an exceptionally good Czar; though modernly used sources are likely biased because of Communists.
One thing is for sure, Nicholas was a good willing person with a big heart, and so were all those of his family.
The PORTRAIT OF A TSAR is a chapter in the book that looks into that:
Just a few lines from the book:
Nicholas was not, as various historians wished to portray him, too
meek and mild to hold this position. Those nearest to him preserved a
few instances in which the young emperor’s powerful personality became
apparent.

Alexandra was Protestant (Lutheran) before she converted to Russian Orthodoxy and she was the most fervent convert I've ever heard of. 💙 The Church was the biggest thing in her life next to her family.
he may have been a good person but he made some terrible mistakes; however the family did not deserve to die that way. Bolcheviks and "gilets jaunes" both revolutionaries (laugh)
Nothing Here The saints believe in you. ☦️
Nothing Here I’m a Protestant as well , ( ironically a Lutheran like Alexandra ) and I fervently believe that the Romanov family deserves Sainthood.
Russia had been abandoned by her allies. No one from their class offered Romanov sisters marriage. So sad.
Beautifully done, so far I am liking the movie. Can’t wait to see the rest. I love the Russian language , although I understand they did speak fluent English amongst themselves.
This is the best film about The Romanov, the actors are very similar and the plot is very similar to the reality
Yoooooo besides the ending getting to me but when the guys tore apart Tsar Nicholas's picture....dammmm my heart dropped man, imagine what he felt or what he was going though when he had no choice to to give up his throne?. Dammmm such a tragic loss.
They traded in for a government that in the long run was much worse, and more's the pity. The Tsarist regime under PM's Stolypin and Kokovtsov (1906-14) was the best governance Russia enjoyed in the 20th century - certainly better than the hellish mess of Ulyanov, Bronstein and Djugashvili.
He never really wanted that throne, he was a family man who was thrown into the role when his father died unexpectedly. He knew nothing about being a Tzar. The whole story is incredibly sad.
@@Pashasmom1 Absolutely....a very tragic loss indeed

Hi, there, Catherine! Thanks for your comment. We have recently published a book on the life and death of the Romanovs, bringing to light a multitude of previously unpublished documents and texts that give a new understanding about the reign of the last Russian Imperial family.

Uma história repleta de covardias e segundas intenções. Mas, a história faz jus aos verdadeiros heróis, e coloca os falsos salvadores da pátria no esquecimento: seus nomes são esquecidos. Mesmo uma história triste, o Tsar Nicholas II construiu uma bela família e teve o seu amor e fidelidade.
I get sad when I see this family's picture. They might have been oblivious to the sufferings of their people but they did not deserve to die. How sad.
The Tsar actively participated in suffering of his people
@@toohdvaetihom7088 I believe the Tsar genuinely cared for his people. At any rate he loved them much more than the Communists.
Imagine his position- if you were a billionaire emperor, would you want to work endlessly? He didn't even have a secretary or assistants, I suppose that didn't exist in his day. So he had to do it all, largely, himself.
It's well known the Imperial family preferred to live like middle class- they were mocked for the cheapness of their private living quarters!!
As for Nicholas, Imagine yourself in his shoes. Would you want to be the one to change the Dynasty?
People say he was a bad Tsar, but I think the problem is Every Single person in his empire wanted different ways- it's almost impossible to choose one way when hundreds of people are telling him that their way was best. And impossible to make everyone happy. The poor guy was damned if he did and damned if he didn't, in an age that didn't have the hindsight we enjoy today.
The millions who died under the bloody reign did not deserve to die or suffer.
Your book is so very lovely. I gave it to a friend as a gift to make him discover the Imperial Family, and so I wait to have enough money to get me another copy of this very excellent book.
Thank you so much! We are very flattered!

Whoever did the cast was a godamn genius, Kerensky and Lenin really look like in real life
Beautiful movie and portrayal of the martyred Czar and his beautiful family!
Glad you liked it! It really is the best to this day!
If you look deep into what happened to this family, you’re going to be enraged about what some of the executioners did to those girls after the shooting. Not hard to figure out what I’m saying. According to the source I read this from, the commander at that site was wanting to end these two men. But they were so short handed that he couldn’t spare the loss. That’s how brutal the Russian Civil War was at the time. It seems to be almost never mentioned here in the states, that war. They fought each other longer than the German in World War One.
The Russian civil War was brutal and the brutality brought to bear by the Bolsherviks was unimaginable. I personally don't believe the Bolsherviks gained anything from the extermination of the Romanovs. In fact the Romanovs are sustained by myth and legend because of it.
Ну, неужели столько умов рядом с ним. Не могли найти выход?! Ведь он должен был быть.... должен быть выход!!!
What great first part 1 is, i'm going to watch part 2, I have been to St-Petersburg Russia. I know what the Russians suffer it was absolutely outreagious. it is still an beautifully made serie.
It really is the best Romanov film to this day. Hopefully the Russians will eventually make a full movie, starting from the beginning of the family's life!
I’m very surprised they didn’t have this wonderful movie in English !
Put the English subtitles on! Dubbing it into English would be criminal. Much better like this.
I’m sure it is risky bc it gets one closer to asking who was responsible for the “Russian” atrocities.
@@EsaiasP But the Romanovs spoke English with each other, Nicholas and Alexandra especially spoke english to each other nothing but English to each other. All the children spoke English when they were with their parents. So why not have an English version of it considering they did in fact speak it with one another unless they were in the company of a Russian or Slavic speaking person.

It truly is the most accurate film ever made about the Romanovs.
@La Serpenta Canta hi! About the film "Nicholas and Alexandra" from 1971. Even though the film does retain a sympathetic approach and understanding of the imperial couple, still it VERY far from the historical truth(s). It presents them exactly in the way the West has always portrayed them (no need to get into details here). But it is justified a little bit because at the time (1970s) the Russian State Archives were not yet open (they opened with Glasnost) and most primary sources were not yet available to researchers. That's why Rober Massie's book with the same name, i.e. "Nicholas and Alexandra", also lacks in this respect since it was written in the 1960s. We hope this helps!
Me and my mom love this film such a beautiful family it is so brutal what they did to them they did not deserve to die the poor kids makes me sick god rest there souls💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💛💛💛💛💛💛💛 I would love to read the book can you order it from a book shop if anyone knows please let me know

An absolutely amazing Beautiful film alexi really is an angelic Boy caring
They could have been saved by relatives all failed them.
I know some Russian language, it is so beautiful !
A remarkable production, yes!
What I will never understand is how the British royal family refused them sanctuary? No doubt the Communist revolution was an unstoppable force at this point but the Romanov family did not have to die. This was the worst of betrayals, they must have felt the world and even their own relatives had turned their backs on them and sealed their fate.
I agree,that betrayed is one of the outstanding parts of this story. But what can you expect from "the royals" I know one thing and that is Tsar Nicholas ,his Tsarina Alex and their beautiful children would have sacrificed even the throne to save King George. So foul of all of them- it certainly wasn't "the people" they were thinking of, but their own butts.
Because there was a very real possibility the same could happen to the British Royal Family. Tsar Nicholas made his own bed and he had to sleep in it. Blunder after Blunder. Sending Men to die by Millions without rifles, ammunition and food. All these European Monarchs rightly deserved the Gallows with how they play with human life. Like a game. The only Royal Family to survive the War were the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha's. Could you imagine having over 2 million Casualties in your Country. You lost family and friends. Half your town has been exterminated by the War AND Your King (England) allows the Family along with THE MAN (Tsar Nicholas) that mobilized his Nation and unflinchingly threw gas on a fire that killed your people and widened the War? Austria/Hungary, Germany and Russia started the damn thing. If I was alive at that time in England and My Government let those bastards in to live the high life...... uh ahhh.
You can never depend on family family will always try their backs on you when you most need it

Os mandantes e seus executores não conseguiram calar a família Romanov todos nós somos Romanov vivem para sempre no coração de todos pelo mundo inteiro
Its worth keeping in mind this dynasty was effectively a dictatorship and behaved like one. The treatment of soldiers during WWI was a big part of the reason it fell but by no means the only reason.
BULLSHIT. That's post-Communist bullshit... like all the lies about the NSDAP
One of the big problems was the Bolsheviks signing the peace with Germany, in 1917, depriving the Russian soldiers of the 1918 victory
@@sidoniewinterpasternak9938 For what? Germany didn't start war you know? Or the second WW for that matter
This is an excellent film, but I wish they would have dubbed it in English.
I can't help think of the unwillingness and disinterest of King Edward VIII towards being king - he wanted a personal life, a true love, rather than the royal trappings he was born into. These two men seem to have shared a love of family and intimacy, over power and control. They were not suited to their times.
Excuse me, but David Widsor was unfit to be a decent human being, not only King, a weak willed puppet in his mistress's hands like dear Harry is today, and a devoted pro Nazi...how dare you compare him with Nicholas Romanov, who was a good father and husband, but lacked the strength to be Tsar?!
So Beautiful
Indeed, the best film about them ever!
Love this Thanks
I read that the Romanovs usually spoke to each other in English- they were all fluent in English!
Empress Alexandra's mother was the daughter of Queen Victoria. English was for her a native language and she spoke almost solely in English to her children. Nicholas' English was also perfect, and he was described as being so fluent as to be taken for an Englishman. 😊
YEs, when you read their letters to each other, they are all in English.
@Phil Ad Alix spoke perfect Russian! She did have an accent of course, but she knew Russian perfectly!
@Phil Ad first, we kindly ask you to avoid using such expressions towards our project team, that is, accusing us of lies. Secondly, please note that apart from all the memoirs and literature of that time which unanimously testifies to this, there is an abundance of surviving letters written by Alexandra in Russian. We have plenty of them in our archives. Nobody ever disputed the fact that Alexandra spoke and wrote in Russian! So, please, let us not engage in any further fruitless discussion on this.
@Phil Ad that is perfectly correct - thank you for being so kind in coming back and sharing the results of your research with us here. Unfortunately, most people, are not willing to admit their mistakes and do not get into the trouble of gathering information. So, we appreciate your diligence. If you are really interested in learning many truths about the family, previously hidden or distorted, you can read our book. It is strictly based on primary sources and uses an extensive bibliography, including an abundance of documents from the Russian State Archives. It is written in a reader-friendly way. All the people who got it say that it is the best Romanov book ever. You can find it here: www.romanovs.eu/online-store
Great film romanticizing the Romanovs.
Oh yeah i know, the Bolsheviks who destroyed them and their nation were so much better. . .
I hope you will make a book and a movie about the French revolution. The book and the movie are beautiful, the cinematography is excellent and the book is so beautiful. The same thing happened in France and the way the stories are told about King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, don’t hit the mark like this movie does. Thank you for your beautiful work. I hope one day Russia will bring back the Czar one day and restore Russia. It’s sad what they did to the Romanov family! What do the Russians think of it all? Would they want a czar again? I wonder..
They killed the soul of Russia. 💔
So true!
Brilliant movie!!!
Glad you liked it! We hope you'll find the rest of our videos of interest as well!
Tsar should have just stayed on the train in Mogilev, surrounded by all the loyal troops. What a blunder to try and go back to Petrograd.
Моя пра пра бабушка окончила Смольный институт выпуск 1912 года и была представлена ко двору Романовых.
17:54 "Things will settle one way or another..." then the train scene... wow...🥺
So sad hasn't portuguese legend! But I loved this.
One wonders how the world would be different today if this royal family had survived.
I was wondering about it a lot. It’s so sad what took place at that time.
They didn't.
BRAVO.
Very nice...
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Vive le tsar
Honte à Ses assassins
Thanks
In my whole life That I have seen many royal families in Europe but this royal family romanov is very nice and kind And Beautiful family that you see they love each other i love this family ❤️❤️❤️but there family was murdered Rip to romanov family
But what was the home language in their home ? I know they didn´t always contact in Russian, but English or French.
Hello, Jussi! Tsar Nicholas spoke only Russian to his children. Alexandra also tried to talk to them in Russian, but they did use English as well.
God Bless the Tsar Nicholas second and his family, and curse the communists especially Lenin, Karl Marx and Trotsky
And most importantly Curse Stalin
Thank God for Stalin, eh?
@@BolshevikCarpetbagger1917 Damn Stalin to hell as well
And curse many other especially Kerensky
@@anyutaanyuta993 I agree
Kaway kaway muna. Kayo jan? Sinong pilipino Jan? I'm still watching now🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
I want to edit my comment below about my love of Russia- it is for the Historical Russia not modern day Russia and politics.
I'm sad. I truly wanted to see this. The English subtitles are too small, even with my reading glasses. I bet you it's very good.
We're sorry about that, Rose! We will eventually try to upload the subtitles in CZcams (now they are embedded in the video) and we will let you know if we do so! Sorry!
@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs Thank you! That'd be great. God bless you!
@@rosemarie3784 God bless you do, dear Rose!
@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs Thanks! Guess what? I have great news! I found a way where I'll be able to read the subtitles! I watch CZcams on my phone but I never use full screen. I turned the movie to full screen and now I can read them! I'm so thrilled! I'll be watching it over the next few days, parts 1 & 2. I think your channel is fantastic! Now, I have been asking the Romanov Family for intercession in prayers, especially St. Nicholas! I have no doubt they are interceding for you and the success of your channel! God's blessings be upon you always! 🙏💐
@@rosemarie3784 that's simply just wonderful news! Thank you for the blessings!! We will try our best to keep up with our work! All the best to you!
I have been fascinated by Russia and its history for decades, since I was in my teens (now 66), and have studied it via books and documentaries. The Romanovs were fascinating, from Michael I, crowned at the Ipatiev Monastery, to Nicholas II, murdered with his family at the Ipatiev House, an odd coincidence. I do not believe Nicholas II was a bad man, but he was not a great Tsar. Unfortunately, he had been raised to believe that it was his divine duty to rule Russia, but he would have been far happier if he could have lived out his life with his family on a farm or small estate somewhere. He was a devoted husband and family man who was not cut out to rule a huge country like Russia.
Thanks for your comment, Kathi! If you are interested in the truth about the life and death of the last Romanov family, as well as to what really took place in Russia 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. Such are:
• The achievements and great reforms of Tsar Nicholas' reign.
• The events of the 1905 revolution and Bloody Sunday.
• Russia’s and Tsar Nicholas’ involvement in WW1.
• The plots and conspiracies to overthrow Tsar Nicholas from his throne.
• The myth of the “Bread Revolution” and the truth about the February 1917 coup.

@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs Thank you! I will check it out. When interested in a subject, I try to access different resources so as to get different perspectives on the subject instead of one researcher’s POV. For example, I have read a number of books on Rasputin and have concluded that he was not a “mad monk”. He was a crude womanizer who had a strong will and a semi-hypnotic ability to calm people, like the young Tsarevich, which was effective in reducing the bleeding and pain from his haemophilia related injuries. The legend of the way he died probably had more to do with Yusupov’s hysteria than fact.
When I was younger, I read Russian fairy tales (along with the folklore of other cultures. I found Baba Yaga fascinating. I also remember that many of the tales I read had the message that if they could only get to the Tsar, everything would be alright. One thing I am curious about is that the video shows Tsar Nicholas II looking at photos of a woman who appears to be Matilda Kshesinskaya, Nicholas’s mistress prior to his relationship with Alexandra. Is it? And if so, why would he be looking at her photos?
@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs I would love to get the book but it is not available in the U.S. if I can ever afford travel to Europe, I will get a copy there.
@@katperson1955 you can order the book from our official distributor in the US, who offers the lowest price:
www.eighthdaybooks.com/product/114724/The-Romanov-Royal-Martyrs-What-Silence-Could-Not-Conceal
@@katperson1955 actually this is an artistic addition. There is no source referring to Nicholas keeping any pictures of Mathilde.
Boatswain left Alexei and Romanov family before they were being moved to Tobolsk. And after he left, Nagorny took his place as a main nanny. In captivity, the red soldiers actions were often very insulting and harassing, but Nagorny tried his best to protect the Romanov family. Nagorny action caused big anger on red soldiers. Four days after Nagorny and the rest of Romanov family moved into Ekaterinburg (Ipatiev house), he was taken away alongside Ivan Sednev. They both shot to death. Nagorny& Ivan were canonized by Russian Ortodox church on Nov 14th 1981
That's exactly so. Thank you for your great input here!
Love it, master piece💜💜💜💜💜
Please do tell the name of that beautiful yet solemn music @ 10:35
The one, of many, whom I detest the most from this time period is Kerensky. Kerensky overthrew the Czar and continued exactly the same policies, which provided exactly the same results. Rasputin was pleading for the Czar to negotiate, which was Nicholas II instinct. Remember Nicky had begged Wilhelm II to not mobilize his troops and unleash the apocalypse. Odd that the men who were right are vilified, while Kerensky became a friend of Ronald Reagan. I would have leapt at the chance to be Nicholas II's friend.
