His french is...perfect. Literally perfect. The Queen of England might speak french quite well, she still has a strong accent. But him ? Nothing.

That is completely amazing. And his French accent is excellent!
Very happy you liked it!
I'm not sure how I thought the Czar would sound but it wasn't like this BUT what was a bigger shock was seeing him smile and the movement of his eyes...such a handsome man with those beautiful blue eyes 💜 thankyou for sharing
I'm a french orthodox christian.. This video moved me...
God bless you and all the Orthodox of France!
Привет, брат!

Fantastic work and thank you for sharing. I have a huge love for the Russian people and their culture. Thank you for sharing. Sending love and light from New York City!
All our love from Cyprus, where this project is based! Thank you so much for your kind words and your support!
@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs you're truly welcome beloved, blessing to you and your family, and stay safe .
@@nikkinonames5265 blessings to you, too!
It is nice to hear that from the USA.
Покойтесь с миром, Царь-Батюшка!!! Молитесь на небесах о нас и о всей России!!!!❤❤🇷🇺🇷🇺
How precious, so poignant to listen to his voice and know of the tragedies that would befall the Romanovs years later, sigh. Thank you so much for this video with such amazing historical pics and drawings!
I assume there are no known recordings of OTMA? I would love to hear their voices!
So would I.
Unfortunately, no 😢
@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs that's sad. I'd love to watch a video of Anastasia telling one of her stories.
@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs That's heartbreaking.
Oh, that would be amazing ❤️
Voice from the past I thought I would never hear. Thank you so very much for this. Truly amazing that this even exists!
not only he has a PERFECT french prononciation, but he also speaks french with the parisian accent from this time. Really amazing, he sounds native.
Magnificent! Hearing the voice history is amazing! God Save the Tsar and Bless the Royal Romanov Martyrs! 🙏🙏
He was clearly a talented linguist as well as a devoted husband and father. Nicholas was a very sensitive, caring, intelligent man. His diary and letters provide evidence of this.
His French pronunciation was very good. R.I.P to him and his family.
This is the kind of educational RUclips content we need more of. This is like experiencing interactive/living history and I love it.
Thank you for this! I’m so grateful for your channel! I’m so intrigued with this family.😄
Thank you for your support! 🌼💕
Thanks for the finding of the recording of Tsar Nicholas II. Any recording of the Tsar's speaking is valuable & priceless!! I admit I wish there's also a recording of the Tsar speaking English. Nevertheless, thanks for sharing this & any find of Tsar's recording is always great!! It's also great to be able to hear the Tsar's real voice!!
Our pleasure! Thanks for your support!
RIP Romanov Family. ❤️😞
It's interesting to think that this is a recording of a man of German-Danish descent, ruling over the Russian Empire, giving a speech in French
Wait,are you serious?i just knew about this
@@CodmEniqs Yep.Nicholas was cousin of King George V and Kaiser Wilhelm II.
@@CodmEniqsthe aristocracy in europe at the time was VERY german …
Unbelievable!! Such an honor to hear his voice come to life!! You just want to keep hearing him speak. Its like his still around us. Our most thankful wishes to you for providing this truly amazing speech !!
Omg thank you so much! This means so much to me❤ His voice recording is so rare to find
Вечна му слава и хвала из Србије
❤️❤️❤️
I have for years wondered what he sounded like. Amazing to hear finally. A Saint.
Thank you for posting.
(I did not realize the technology existed in 1902 for recording)
Tbh color photography was developed 1st, but too much color for the Victorian people.
This is marvelous.
Wow, Marvelous work👏👏👏seriously one of the best channels I discovered 😍😍
Wow, thank you! This means so much to us! 💜
Amazing! Thanks for sharing!
I love the moving photos! 💖👌💖✨
Thank you so much! 💜
This gave me chills it's so amazing thank you very much for sharing!
Always with the utmost pleasure! 🌸
I didn't expected his voice was like that.. So Magnificent!!!
Amazing! Great work on getting this recording!
What an amazing historical moment share with us
Thank you 😊 RRM team
Keep up this great work
Our pleasure! 😊
So glad to hear his voice.
Thanks for watching!
Красивое и грамотное произношение 👑 . произвело на меня впечатление. Спасибо
Bravo, c'est très touchant d'écouter la voix du Tsar que Dieux bénisse la Famille Romanov ils seront toujours dans nôtre coeur. He has a perfect French cause it's kind of difficult To speak this language, sad cause we cannot heard the voices of OTMA, NAOTMAA Forever ❤
Merci d'avoir regardé! 💜
@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs de rien, toujours avec plaisir !
Il a une belle voix! Cela fait quelque chose de l'entendre...
Simplement, je tiens à préciser: dans le texte du discours, les accents sur les "e" sont dans le mauvais sens!
Sinon, merci à vous.
Tsar Nicolas animation is great! Wonderful video!
This is truly amazing ❤️❤️❤️ i wish there were more. I love how his face was animated as well
Thank you for watching!! Best! 💜
Thank you for this wonderful video! Nicolas ll had a nice voice! The music was wonderful! 🎶 The narration was bar none with interesting information. And the pictures.... totally awesome! You did an outstanding job as usual! Bravo!!!
We are so flattered and humbled, Terry! Your support means so much! Thank you for your touchingly kind words!
@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs You are quite welcome! And it's the truth!
If I'm not wrong there is another voice record of Nicholas II in Russian.
I would love to hear the voice of the rest of them.
Unfortunately, no other recordings from the family survived...
Theres a recording from around 1910 with Nicholas thanking his troops for a performance.
@@Qwerty-hy5mj
Yes, I heard that recording too!
@@Qwerty-hy5mj I believe people found that the 1910 recording wasn’t of him. Still not sure.
Aaaaa that recording has already been proven to not be Nicholas, sadly
Wow ! I dont know what I expected but im very surprised ! I feel very fortunate to listen to this. Thank you 🙏
Thank you, too!
Well-spoken and well-articulated speech. He sounded most comfortable in speaking. Such a sad sad history.😢😢
Thank you so much for the wonderful work you you are doing!
Thank you for your support, Lena! It's greatly appreciated! 🌼
Incroyable. Je ne m'attendais pas à ce qu'il parle aussi bien français.
Incredible. I didn't think he could speak French perfectly
Non c'est l enregistrement d un acteur.
Pensez vous que les dirigeants avaient un micro devant eux lors d évènements, tout cela en 1902.
@@hortensiablanc4352 cela est possible vue que Bismarck à était enregistré en 1890 de mémoire
Nicholas ll was 34 years old at the moment. He had a very jouvenile voice, I didn't expect that
After reading war and peace, perfect French is expected from the russian nobles.
Wonderful! It helped having the text to read along with too. The animation tech results were amazing as well ! Thank you!😄
Always with the greatest pleasure!
Whaaaaat!?!??? I’m not prepared for this! It’s too sudden of an overdue experience, but I am seriously hesitant about pushing play, my ears are not ready nor my mind prepared for this input, I am on the fritz! I want to leave something eloquent but I’m stunned at this just appearing... shall I proceed with caution?
It's really an experience!
Nicholas spoke perfect French. How special it is to have heard this speech. Thank you for sharing this!
His french is...perfect. Literally perfect. The Queen of England might speak french quite well, she still has a strong accent. But him ? Nothing. He sounds as french as any french political speech of that time. He even has this way of talking that people only had in the early 1900s. I'm amazed. Thanks for the video.
He was really handsome, and look alike to his english cousin. Very nice voice and great pronounciation.
Amazing this recording exists. Thank you😊
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching! 💜
Thank you so much for this. I'm very impressed!
Glad you like it!
His French accent is impeccable 👌
Une maîtrise du français juste parfaite.
Je n'en reviens pas.
Puisse t'il reposer en paix avec tous les siens.
@Siegbert Landgraf je sais tout cela mais tu reconnaîtras que l'absence d'accent -ce qui cela dit en passant- aurait été normal pousse un peu plus haut l'admiration.
De plus a l'époque tsariste le français l'anglais le russe se devaient d'être parfaitement maîtrisés.
Les parents tout comme OTMAA..
En ce début du 20ème siècle toutes les familles de la noblesse européenne se devaient de maîtriser le français car c'est la langue qu'ils parlaient souvent entre eux.
This is absolutely amazing, I would have loved too see there wedding pictures x
Unfortunately, no pictures from their wedding are available. Thanks for watching this! 💙
@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs no but you guys rock! beautifully written book and pictures. you brought them to life once again. I have been enjoying. no need to reply just letting ya know. wink.
@@sunshinehoward9649 thank you so much for your great support! It means so much!
Wow! I didn’t expect him to have this accent! It’s sounds very upper class French! I thought he’d have a hint of Russian accent but it’s actually very good French
Absolutely loved this wow!!
We're excited to hear that! Thanks 💜
Happy to hear your voice i love you forever papa
Wow, with the picture moving its like he's alive! One of my relatives, im proud to say.
That’s cool. How are you related to him?
Do tell...
I'm delighted to to be able to hear his voice ..❤️
Христос Воскресе! И мы воскреснем. Сделай во Славу Божью русские субтитры,интересно что люди говорят. Помоги и укрепи Господи!
Воистину Воскресе!
this is sooo cool! love the picture frames too with the speech. I watched it 3x i enjoyed it so much.
Wow, thank you! Multiple views really help our channel!
Waouah, he speak a very good french, sustained style , polished and exact language.
His voice is about as light as I was expecting honestly.
Marvellous 👍 well done 🙏🙏🍀🍀I actually would have imagined his voice quite differently
Much Gratitude for this video. 🌸💎
We Thai are beholden to this elegant man.
🇹🇭🙏🙏🙏🇹🇭
just had my tsarist russia a-level mock and if i found this earlier i would've spent my time listening to this
Boze Tsarya Hrani!!
O Θεός να φυλάττει τον Τσάρο!!

Αμήν!
This is so wonderful! Thank you!
An extraordinarily handsome man!
Great video, as always. So far I've heard Nick II's, Alex III's & the murderer Grigori Nikulin's vocal recordings. Also, there's some great recordings of Trotsky & Kerensky speaking in English.
Thank you for your kind words and your support!
Blessed memory Saint Tsar Nicholas ☦️
Wow, i did not expect this, wonderful video!
Thank you very much! We're very happy you liked it!
