- 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.

I woke up to this playing. I've been through 2 hours of it. I was watching mr ballen
lol same
Same
Same
That sounds like an awesome way to wake up ngl.
Iv just done the same last night.... Fell sleep to Mr ballen woke up 2am to this 😂
This is what the history Channel should be
100% right. Sadly it is so corrupt. Just like so many others
What it used to be. Even History Vault doesn't have much even though I know there were tons of shows.
This is the beat story I have ever listened to. I'm obsessed, perfect voice, tone and story telling. Absolutely amazing.
Sounds like Anthony Hopkins to me....
My absolute favorite documentary on any subject
This is what a documentary should be...the standard of excellence all other documentaries should seek to achieve!
Yes
The number of times I’ve woken up to this playing is crazy😂
At least once a week here
@@rebeccaherschman1635 Three times a week for me. But where did you start? For me it was a documentary on Oliver Cromwell.
@@skinnygrave2487 I started listening to the Plantagenets and the War of the Roses Docs on RUclips and then I woke up one day listening to these and found I really liked them
I just woke up to it at 4 am 😅
Bruh that just happened to me
This is by far one of the absolute best documentaries I've ever watched not to mention one of the best about the Romanovs. First I can remember watching that started from the beginning of the Dynasty. Great mix of accurate recreation and actual art/historical documentations. 10/10 stars!!!!
There are really good ones about the English throne and cousins at war too
@@Osc1llateW1ldly 42
Agree.
Agree.
Agree. Almost shocking at times how well done this is.
What's most interesting about this video is I can almost read Cyrillic now. It's like learning my ABCs all over again.
A perfect documentary. Thousands of classes over Netflix. Fluent narrative, normal tone, no cringe emphatic voice and without interviews with second-hand teachers who repeat the same words. No useless special effects, pure information. Thank you!
You're right about your voice observations. However, that looked like Finland, not Sweden.
It's good but I personally miss the input from historians talking, just for the formats sake
@@deadastronaut2440 ybbhbbbb bb gbgbbbb b h bbb
Woke to this. One of my first thought was great narration.
Tiuixyyiiyizxytyxuxxtxucuxcuhitixiiuyyiotiuiixxxiiiuciuiyucugiixgig
I was watching Gordon Ramsey and fell asleep and now I'm super interested in Russian History...Thanks RUclips
Same thing just happened
That’s the rabbit hole of RUclips.
Me too bro lmaoo
Ahaha just did! That's the youtube oblivion!
LOL! I was watching murder mysteries!
My favorite documentary we need more movies about the Romanovs that don’t involve the last ones.
This is an absolutely exceptional documentary series.
Extremely informative and captivating.
Incredible series. Tsar Alexei letting a falcon open his vein for a blood-letting procedure is another level badass (48:25)
I agree! His falcons were very cool. He also sounded like an avid gardener. Cool guy.
? Alexi was a hemophiliac, the only child who inherited the disorder, the 4 girls did not have it , but probably carriers . It was referred as the English disease because of the marriage between cousin passed from Queen Victoria to daughter Anastasia to Alexi
@@Kim-J312I think you are speaking of a different Alexi... The one you talked of was the son of czar Nicholas around the time of the first world war, long after this Alexi. This one grew up and had a family, but the other was executed by the bolshevics while still young.
This is the most outstanding documentary in Russian history.
The narrator's perfect voice for storytelling with the dramtic music in low volume in the background is how a historical documentary should be.
Definitely - it’s a perfect balance , can watch/listen endlessly
Michael Romanov feels like such an underrated historical figure. He unwillingly accepted the role of Tsar, inherited a volatile country, faced political and personal betrayals yet stayed true to his convictions and geared Russia towards development. He laid the groundwork for his successors and didn't let anyone else rule him. Truly a man who is overlooked despite being the founder of one of the greatest empires in the world.
If he okayed for that three year old to be executed then he’s a baby killer. With all the achievements he has done does not change that factor
@@Jhh241 You need to remember the time period. That type of stuff was normal. It was a savage time period. Now Peter the Great policies and onward really screwed over Russia…even now they are paying that price
I totally agree with you...I mean he seemed like a pretty important piece to the Russian empire. Michael and the land ended up being at peace and he had good morals and principles didn't just listen to anyone he went with his intuition. I really enjoyed this video!
They stated his eldest son inherited the Czar position at the same age his father was when he inherited it.
The country was transformed they said.
Michael Romanov was 16 y.o boy. He was sickly and poor educated. He choose as Tsar due to be a puppet for the boyars.
The western world needs to be educated exceĺlent series
Why is this always what comes on auto play during the night 😂 I wake up and hear something and immediately go: I bet it’s the Russian Dynasty video.
It's very informative if you've time to watch it 😁
I didn't think I'd be spending my day watching a series on Russian nobles, but here we are.
EEW
I know!! Same here, only I am @ 19 minutes in and it is currently 12:16 am.
I had to learn about this when I was living in Baumholder, Germany
@@dogmomma4019 2:09 am here
I did the same but don’t remember what I was watching when I went to sleep one thing for sure it won’t go down is history as Putin the great lmao it we’ll say something a lot different
I am Russian (real Russian, not just of Russian descent :), and I am learning SO MUCH MORE from this documentary than I "learned" in all my middle and high school years! I always found our history textbooks boring and poorly written, and the two history teachers we had could not really engage and fascinate us. Basically, we were only learning the chronology of events, without being told the exciting stories and personalities that were behind those events. Thank you for this fun and education!
Real Russian? You're writing sounds Real American to me. I always thought "Real Russians" are the ones that actually love the Fatherlamd way to much to ever leave it. Let me ask you a question. The newly re-aquired lands of Crimea have many people there that were born and bred citizens of Ukraine. Are they real Russians? Are Russian Jews that have never known any other country, real Russians?
Are the people of Dagestan, Tatarstan, Chechnya real Russians?
Was Stalin a real Russian?
How many real Russians have roots originating in Mongolia.
Do Moscovites really believe that anyone not from Moscow is really anything other than at best a 2nd class Russian. Do People from St.Petersberg see themselves as Russians first or are the Peterskayi first and foremost. What a waste of Earth that country really is. How many millions and millions of real Russians no longer exist because other MORE Real Russians had them murdered throughout your real Russian history.
So much land so few Real Russians left.
Yes Russian people are clever , intelligent, self centered and snobbish. But morons. Morons who allow themselves be overrun and overburdened by tyrants, oligarchs, etc. You fall for the Cult of Personality. You need a strong Dictator to rule because you're all so unruly and really unbrotherely with one another. It's everyman for himself land. I was born there too. Disgusting
W b be b. B. B. B. W W be b. Www en hey b
@@Sh0lya imagine being triggered because someone on the internet said they're Russian... and by the way, your "Real American" comment makes you yourself sound an awful lot similar to your butthurt and racist description of "Real Russians". Its truly a shame that people like you are the first to claim to be "anti-racist" and yet seethe with Anti-Slavic and anti-White racist hatred; and an even bigger shame that it's more often than not a self-hatred being projected. ~ A Real New Yorker born and bred
The only true "Real Americans" are the Native peoples and their descendants, NOT the white folks who colonized the country. Where do you fall along this heritage?
@@soupit32 you make a good point
Who else just woke up to this playing on their screen😭🙋🏽♀️...
I fell asleep watching another documentary, just woke up an hour into this. I've watched it before, but it's good enough to watch again.
Me too, I was watching Forensic Files
me! i liked it so I kept listening.
Me !!
Me also, how did that happen?
Tsar Fyodor is so underrated and glad they give him the credit he deserved
Great series! I will watch it again.😎
I loved this. Very well presented and easy to understand. Thank you.☺️
This is some of the best stuff I’ve seen in a long time
I went for a walk with a friend tonight and tried to explain what I’ve been learning about Russian history.
The lunatics, seers, believers, conquerors, fanatics, despots and visionaries - my friend stared at me like I was a raving lunatic. The lack of curiosity is disheartening
Lol. I can definitely relate, hard to find people like minded
Talk to me Ruth. I love The RICH RUSSIAN HISTORY😊 I get the blank look a lot too.
Don't worry, Ruth,
You keep on doing what you're doing!!!
Keep on learning, my friend.
Those who don't learn from the past are BOUND to repeat it.
Cheers to you and all those like minded individuals.
too bad not many in real life takes any interest in learning histories like such. but i am glad that u convinced me that there are alot which shares similar interests though i also never met any in real life.
cheers.
Please, find who was the bolsheviks!? Who paid to them to go to Russia!? Who invented Komunism, and every other ism! You will find the thruth. Everything they told to us is a big lie. Everything is prepland.
The most complete the public could be shown and stay on point with the important points of government interest. Thank you.
I watch these documentaries on empires all the time I love history
This is how documentaries should be made; engaging, informative, slick. The best I’ve seen on the Romanov dynasty - thank you!

I was watching cinema sins when I fell asleep and woke up to this playing. Currently up to Episode 3 and enjoying learning about this dynasty so far! Recommending it to everyone!
How cool that he actually WASHED the coins and the virus didn't get to the military because of his foresight. Brilliant stuff.
I was struck by that too. seemed ahead of their time on that idea.. but then again, how long can plague survive on a coin? idk. might have had something to do with the fact that the money was going to an army... all their food that rats might get at is moved constantly. no walls for mice and rats to set up and get cozy in (and spread plague) when you're in a military tent. and armies maybe don't haul their sick with them?
@@travismiller5548 if the coins were made from copper it would totally make sense... Did you know that 95% of bacterias die when left on a copper surface? This is why old door handles and hand surfaces (staircase railings etc) were made from copper! It prevented disease from spreading. Cool huh? We should still be producing things with copper surfaces.
And it wasn't that they left the dead behind, it was that NO one in the military contracted the disease to begin with.
They have also since discovered that it wasn't rats that carried the disease, it was the fleas that lived on them that carried it. Fleas that can easily live on other animals.
I like this czar Michael 1st. Refusing to make war until he had the lay of the land. Thinking about it before accepting. Smart kid at the time he accepted, great man.
I'm only 15 minutes in and I'm blown away by the production values in this documentary. The attention to detail is staggering. 100% impressed.
I noticed at the beginning they showed them crossing themself in the old Slavic manner before the 1666 Nikonian reforms, also the old Slavic style prayer rope.
me allso only its mikhal not michael
There were 1 flaw, they did not mention Gandibal, Peter's the Great African son. He made some good advancement to warfare science
There is more.
thats cuz its Rothschild zionazi propaganda they ignore the part about gunning Russian civilians down in the streets before they got killed
RUclips is promoting this video like mad. 😂. Went to bed watching something completely different, woke up to this show. Good show nonetheless. 👍🏼
This is a quality production, many thanks for preserving the rich history of Russia and her people.....
I am 88yo,and feel cheated by the educational system of the USA. Luckily, I was exposed to Russians during WW2 when we were allies. I also loved Russian classical music, and many other things from that great land. I was puzzled by the Cold War.
I predict Russia and the West will increasingly y become more and more positive.
The videos are superb...Thanks BILLION!!!!
The educational system here is nothing but indoctrination lies and a dumb em down program. What you saw with the cold war and all conflicts are really steps toward globalism . One world gov. That's what the covid crisis is all about. The introduction of global tyranny through medicine fearmongery and hate mongery . It's never been us against other countries but humanity against the bloodline which has been working throughout the centuries to globalize. So now that your old as I am at least when you pass you will pass knowing the truth of all of it !!!

this came on randomly from youtube, i fell asleep last night and this is what ended up playing when my Computer went to sleep, when i started using my pc again the video started playing, at first was gonna go back to the home page, but im glad i didnt. This is a very well made and informative documentary. i greatly enjoyed watching this while drinking my morning tea.

Very interesting history of Russia. History was not interesting to me as a teenager but as I have grown older I really enjoy learning about our past as human beings living on this planet. Egyptian history is my favorite.
Teacher in school are the ones who can make any subject interesting for their students. I hated math because of a teacher. But then later I saw the difference how a teacher can inspire her students.
@@yaraschamanski4174 I’ve learned more here on you tube than I ever did in school..
I so greatly enjoy these documentaries, I make it a point of watching them a couple of times a year, at least. Other nations could learn a lot from this Russian Production Company, Star Media and its exceptionally high standards, with these beautifully-produced historcal documentaries.The attention to detail is dazzling: costumes; illustrations, character casting; even the use of hundreds of live animals as set dressing to add to the authenticity of the proramme merely drives home the historically evocative ambiance of this groundbreaking series.
And Russia's Historically widely-acknowledged musical excellence is obvious in the background music and the powerful Credits Score.
Little note to the channel: There's a reason people stopped watching traditional TV, commercials. This channel plays way too many commercials. What a shame, such good content...
I never watch any movie or TV program twice. I’m just not one of those people. But I have made an exception here. I have watched these multiple times and pick up something I missed each time. But even remembering all of it it’s still done so well that I enjoy watching them and listening over and over again
I watched the whole lot,in one go.It was so well done,and interesting,like a good book,I couldn’t put it down.👏👏👏🇬🇧
I'm glad I stumbled across this. I enjoy learning history. Russia has a very rich history. What a story!
Haha yeah i was watching History Buffs great episode on the Death of Stalin movie and this came on, i knew most all of this already but it's still presented in a really compelling way

@@michaelsadventures4261 Yes. I did have trouble finding one part of the series but i did eventually find it. I watched all of it within a few days & I was sad when it was over. I'm watching it over again now. It really is awesome.

The narrator did an excellent job in narrating the doc.
We in America were taught nothing about Russian history in school. It's a privilege to get this education.
Brian McNellis That’s because History is about learning about your countries history I think? I live in Europe and we learnt a bit about the other countries but barely anything. If you want to learn the best thing is online
@Shirley Bailey "I moved on her, and I failed. I'll admit it.
I did try and fuck her. She was married."
Elernation I didn't learn much american history in school either. Political science yes, history no. 🤷🏽♀️
I was taught some in my school, but even if I didn't, it wouldn't have mattered. Why would Americans be taught Russian history, or in this case, the history of the Romanov dynasty? The only "Russian thing" Americans should be taught is the purchase of Alaska, the 7 Years War and both of the World Wars. Everything else adds nothing of value for Americans.
its all the same shit over and over heh
What an impeccably well made documentary series. This should be looked on as the standard to which all documentaries are held. Honestly I cannot imagine the amount of research and time it must have taken. So so good.

What I'm watching is in English, no subtitles. Your settings may just need changing. You can adjust the subtitles at the bottom right of the screen where it says CC.

He is a very good narrator. Make or break the video. Could of been very boring with amazing content :/
They my passion for comedy.
This is a most beautiful fairy tale of Russian history of Romanovs time 1613-1917. The most wicked deeds of czars are hidden very well. This is a evil power, to core. How Peter burnt and destroyed downs of Baltic states...it`s just a very nice story without real history impact to many other nations. Mr Gorbachev had a outrageousness to claim very high cost, which russian people have paid of joining Soviet Union, you wicked fools...what cost paid other nations of russians coverners power lust. Who needed their czar to covern. Russia is a evil power and stays that way, othervise, they just can`t be democratic, somebody needs to give them whip. But other nations, really don`t need their`s grand czars

She said when she returned to visit family they would acquire a lot of food for her stay. She was so sad to leave because she knew they would have no food for weeks.
She was a lovely lady but we moved and lost touch with her.
Music score too
Very interesting Very beautiful music
I've watched this quite a few times. It's one of my favorite documentary
*Young Peter's story is just tragic.* Especially how right before he died he shot up and wanted to see his long dead sister again, the only person who ever truly cared about him. Rest easy, young man!
Who cared for the three year old he allowed to be put to death?
Obviously they are baby killers as well are you really asking this you might have a problem with accountability yourself for asking a question like the one you did
@@Jhh241 there was no question asked, he made a statement. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, even you. You might consider a little punctuation to make it easier to read your comments…
What is very interesting about the Romanovs is the fact that, from the beginning through the centuries to the very end of their rule half of them did not want the throne and would literally given everything for this destiny bypassing them.
Why didn't they want it?
@@geoffreycharles6330 Not everyone is eager to carry the burdon of responsibility, people who long for power mostly forget that you cannot have power, you can only serve power - the sort of power you have chosen to represent. Some of the Romanovs simply wanted to live a life without that burden, they stepped down or refused, passing it to ntext one in line. And even among those who did reign were many who did it with at least one crying eye, a crown is a heavy burden and they knew it.

I wonder if this reluctance of the first Romanov acted as a form of familial curse which was carried out throughout the generations
@@i.p.956 Could be, impo most likely even. There are many hidden traits and also, on the negative side, even disorder creating habits, which are passed through generations in family, often very hidden.
The impact of a throne would even make them stronger. I definitely would not call the reluctance a curse when it comes to the Romanows, I would definitely call it a strong trait fitting great rulers in a cardinal way. People with this trait are often immune to the destructive obsession power can have. Which is a good thing if you are the ruler.
Really well done series!

Historian: What time are you from?
Time Traveler: When the Streltsi revolted.
Historian: Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?
What a presentation, love the production with all details & minutely prepared story line to see through a 400 years story of ups & down.
One of the best docs I’ve seen. I’ve watched this over and over. The narration is superb. Keep up the excellent work!
This is so interesting to watch.
