She was very misunderstood and was NOT a spy. She was more Russian than anyone. She set up over 85 hospitals during the war and had all those charity bazaars in the Crimea for tuberculosis patients. She would carry away the amputated limbs during those horrid operations back then. RIP Alexandra. You are missed.
Yes, she stepped up at war time, no doubt of that, but what about the preceding nearly 20 years? The public almost never saw her, yet she expected their devotion!
@@zzzbbbooo You're right. No doubt about it, Nicholas and Alexandra were both in extreme denial. They should have explained why Rasputin was there at the palace because of Alexei's hemophilia. I just wanted to point out that she did do some good.
If she was as Russian as you say, why didn’t she speak and write Russian?
@@joseeduardotschen9186 She did speak Russian. She and Nicholas wrote to each other in English, their best common language, but I think she eventually did speak Russian fluently. Not sure if she could write it, though.
@@ElizabethF2222 yes, I’ve read she kind of spoke it. French was another of her weaknesses that’s why she also felt uncomfortable in Russian society because that was their main language.
She is my patron saint. I chose her because although she got so many things wrong, made so many mistakes, she was worthy of martyrdom. And I've often gotten off on the wrong foot, been painfully obtuse, and made poor choices - as she could. She chose me because I leaned heavily on her in my worry over the health of my son. She knew that any relief or help could come only from God. She learned to focus all her passion. I hope in learning more of the truth of her and her family, that her beloved Russia can find healing and come to peace with God.
How incredibly beautiful she was when she was a young woman! Her photos later in life reflect her personal agony over Alexis. She had a sad life I think but that was punctuated with episodes of intense joy in her love of her husband and children. I think she gave everything of herself to what mattered. Alexis's illness must have been so hard to bear for her.
She may have made many mistakes and had her flaws, but I truly admire Alexandra. I'm nowhere near as religious as she was, but I love how she had such great love in her heart. I don't know if I'll ever become a mother, but Alexandra's love for Nicholas and their relationship is something I have aspired to know, have and experience with someone. On smaller notes, I always love the style of her writing, she was so expressive and that helps me a lot when I write; lilac is my favourite flower because of her; and even though people in her day didn't like the look of it after the 1890s, I love her Mauve Boudoir and I'm eagerly following its restoration.
Wonderful and touching words and thoughts, Elsa. Thank you so much for opening up like this and sharing your intimate feelings with all of us! Our warmest wishes to you. God bless!
@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs thank you and you're welcome!
Sadly people won't change their minds because they need someone to blame for all that went wrong. With everything that Alexandra was going through ( constantly in pain from sciatica for instance ) she of course would come across as sad, withdrawn and anti social. Plus being painfully shy. Then came Alexei's hemophilia with that came terrible guilt on her part. I strongly believe she has been misjudged and maligned. May God bless her and her beautiful family.
Wonderful thoughts and very true Nellie! Many thanks!
She has certain blame on her. Her total confidence and reliance on Rasputin, that dark figure that caused so many damage to Russia! But they loved the Holy Man. Mama and Papa believed and trusted him. It is painful to read the decisions they made, good Russians being sacked of their posts because they didn’t like Rasputin. Sad story. Was Nicholas blinded by his love to the Empress? When she was in power, it blinded her. Her opinion and Rasputin’s was the only important thing, not Russia, not even Nicholas.
Martyrs, Sanctification, Sainthood, Annointed . Never was without suffering and sacrifice..
**They didn't know when they buried us that we would grow!**
🙏🙏💖🙏🙏
how could she not be the caring and loving lady that she was.....her mother, princess alice , grand duchess of hesse was saint-like herself. the romanov family didnt deserve their cruel fate in the hands blood-thirsty bolshevik thugs. god bless their souls.
She love her husband and kids even she sharing the Russian peaple all of events ,She is so kind mum beautiful real honest handsome Queen.
Alexandra was so misunderstood.People dismissed her as being cold, aloof, and arrogant when in fact she was almost crippled with shyness and not a very high self-esteem. She devoted herself, not in the glittering aristocratic social circle of pre-Revolutionary Russia, but to her husband and her children. She was overcome with grief and guilt that it was through her that the Tsarevich was born with hemophilia. Alexandra would have done anything humanly possible to save her son, even coming under the ill-fated spell of Rasputin. During WWI, Alexandra's German heritage didn't exactly endear her to the Russian people, just one more of the tragic blows in the life of a woman born of royal blood, who was a member of the wealthiest dynasty in history, but through a series of tragic events in history came to a tragic end herself.
Wonderful understanding of Alexandra's personality and truth! Well done! Thanks for sharing!
It's amazing to me that people could actually believe that she loved her former country more than her husband and children. Ludicrous.
She was such a loving and beautiful woman
She was so maligned during her reign.....so unfair. From what I have read, she was universally and constantly compared to her beloved and gregarious predecessor, Maria Feodorvna. And obviously it didnt help the pressure to have a make heir (must have been exhausted after producing FOUR daughters first) and tgen to have the poor chikd afflicted with haemophilia. She was, by every account i read, very loving and nurturing. I believe the claim that she was just genuinely naive, sheltered and had no idea (kind of by no fault of her own) about the dire circumstances in which most Russians lived.
Also they should have reacted sooner to the dangerous situation around them and left Russia before things got worse
Nicholas II father Alexander III didn't approve of her because she was so shy. Queen Victoria, her grandmother didn't approve of the marriage either. Unfortunately they were great for each other personally but not politically.
Unfair is untrue
Tsarina Alexandria seemed to be a loving mother, very involved in her children’s lives, very hands-on. She and the rest of the Imperial family didn’t deserve their fate at the hands of those Bolshevik barbarians.
I recently read an article about notes the Czarina had written to a princess Mary. It does detail some of her physical issues which have been always erroneously considered hypochondria. I don't think it was psychosomatic or hypochondria. I think she had real medical issues.
When I read about her tiredness and pains in her legs and chest pain, back pain and the like ..... I had all that.
I went to the doctors thinking it was anemia. They told me I was anemic but sent me to the hospital to get checked for blood clots. I had pulmonary embolism. I had it happen again so I've been in and out of Hospital in medications for this and all those symptoms sound like blood clots probably originating in the legs and moving up into the chest into the lungs.
My thoughts are that Czarina Alexandra Feodrovna may very well had multiple issues with PE.
It wasn't something that was even possible to definitively diagnose back then( much less treat), so it would have been chalked up to poor diet or psychological.
Given how much the Czarina loved her family and wanted to interact with them on a regular basis, I always thought the hypochondria diagnosis seemed unfair. It just wasn't in her nature to play that up when she could be enjoying more time with the family and focusing on her kids. I think her medical issues were real just not something they could diagnose back then
They needed to leave Russia as others did
I pray to the Romanovs to have Georg come back.
I am really sad for them. God save them in a good place 💗
Amen!
Thank you for watching our video!

As she progressed in her years of motherhood how difficult do you think it was to fulfill her duties as a mother considering the, fact that the only mother figure she, had (QV) was already deceased many years before? Do you think Queen Victoria's death weighed heavily on her over time?
This is an excellent channel because I am fascinated by the Romanov family!
Regarding Alexandra F. I frankly do not like her. She did not fulfill a role that she accepted. Yes, she loved her husband and children, but was not up to the role and responsibilities. And yes, she opened a lot of hospitals in the war time, but that was too little too late. Plus, her relationship with Rasputin and her government decisions did not help her reputation.
the coloured photo of her face in 1:32 where i can get a copy? is on the book?
Hello Teresita! In our book we have these 3 pictures of Alexandra which are similar to the ones you like:

We also have more of her, but the above 3 are the ones close to the one you liked. Are they good enough? Let us know so that we can find a way to please you! Many thanks!!
@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs oh thank you so much!
T breaks my heart about how mistreated she was. You couldn't find anyone else in that era who did more than her
I think the Czar was good probably he needed more supportive people around him for the army etc
Alexandra with her devotion to Rasputin didn't help the situation because he
Controlled her and got into the business of the Czar of government he was supposed to just be some sort of doctor
Those were difficult times for the Tzar: - the growing Russian population -The Industrialization - Not enough food even for bread and basics this gave way for The surge of the Bolsheviks, & Lenin - Tzar Nicholas II should've not made himself General Commander of the Army should have remain in Power in Moscow and give the Army lidership to THOSE WHO KNOW ABOUT IT, on top of it he declared war to Germany and Russian Army did not have good enough weapons, uniform & even food, HE DID NOT HAVE GOOD ADVIDORS OR NOT WANT TO LISTEN THEM.
I don't think there is any question that there was love in their immediate family, there was a question however about the family's relationship with their people. This family had all the riches in the world and still, they were looked at like gods amongst many and still today they are viewed with the same inflated adulation, yet to me, the ordinary hard-working family who has to earn their living without the benefit of maids, servants, cooks, private tutors ect., ect should be respected just as much if not more.
Rasputin was the bad in her life
What a one-sided video! Caring mother? Nobody is disputing that. But what about her attitudes towards the people? Why do you not tell what she writes about that? And there is plenty of that in her letters. In her letters to the Czar she repeatedly told him to hang generals, dismiss ministers and to be a man. Pretty ruthless woman. She was categorically against giving any powers to the Parliament. Therefore the eventual bloodbath and revolution was quite logical consequence.
OMG Alix you are beloved and a reflection of the tragic figure inside you psyche!!
ΔΕΝ ΤΗΝ ΣΥΜΠΑΘΩ.ΕΚΑΝΕ ΣΦΑΛΜΑΤΑ.🖤🖤🖤🖤
It is interesting to see her in a different light. However, this woman's obstinacy and thoughtlessness was CRITICAL in the downfall of the monarchy and eventual murder of her whole immediate family. She should have listed to the warnings of the Dowager Empress.
Question, I heard lots blame Bolshevik for the cruel ending of Tsar’s family, why not many blame George V for his cousin’s fate?
George V was responsible for not helping his cousin escape, the Bolsheviks are responsible for slaughtering the family. There is a difference between the two, but still George V did betray them and that's a fact.
I sort of do
Why should George V be blamed for their death?!?! Did he order to kill them?? It was not his obligation regardless of being blood relatives.
English please.the writing.
