The late Richard Pipes was not a fan of Tsarist or Soviet Russia, and I disagreed with some of his conclusions on Soviet military capacity (which was more decrepit than he knew,) but he was correct on the facts of the family’s death. He noted Nicholas’s numerous shortcomings and flaws as a sovereign and his disastrous rule. However, Pipes also noted Nicholas didn’t seek his own restoration after his fall, and it was the Bolsheviks under Lenin who murdered Nicholas, his family, and their servants and doctor. Pipes stated they did this because they wanted Russians to know there was going to be no return to the old regime.
@@estercobb3436 Alexander Kerensky headed the Provisional Government that succeeded after the February Revolution. He kept the family at the Alexander Palace until moving the family to Tobolsk just before the Bolshevik coup in the October Revolution. Kerensky wanted the family kept safe until he could get them out of Russia, but he couldn’t get them out. Kerensky frankly told Nicholas the Bolsheviks were after himself and then would be after Nicholas and his family. The family was housed in a Tobolsk house, and conditions became far worse for them once the Bolsheviks took over. In early 1918, the Bolsheviks moved the Imperial Family to Ekaterinburg and imprisoned them in Nikolai Ipatiev’s home, which they confiscated from Ipatiev. Yeltsin was ordered by the central government to tear the house down in 1977, and he did so. Later Yeltsin regretted having done so in his memoirs. Now there is a church built on the location where the Ipatiev house is located, and it is dedicated to Nicholas and his family.
British Royals could have saved them, but advised against it. If only Nicholas had agreed to a Constitutional Monarchy with an Upper and Lower House. Seventy years of Soviet brutality would have been avoided

What's crazy here is, according to historical accounts what caused Alexei's miraculous recovery was the fact that they took him off of aspirin which was used to treat this at the time (yes, good for pain, but also a blood thinner, so disastrous for a hemophiliac). Yes, Rasputin noticed and had intuition, made the connection, and told them to take him off it. But what if a nurse or other respected medical professional made that connection first (before Rasputin got involved)? Just saying.
Exactly. No matter what the parents did, the children shouldn't have been punished for it. But many generations of royal and titled children have been slaughtered by their parent's opposition, in order to kill the entire bloodline and pose no threat to the opposition in the future.
They actually moved the bodies from the mineshaft, realizing that hadn't concealed the bodies. They went further in the forest. It has been speculate that the vehicle got stuck in the mud and they removed and buried 2 of the bodies. Then they went further into the forest and buried the rest of the family. 🙂🇨🇦
@@jeanmkaufmann This is correct, and it’s exactly where Alexander Avdonin and his colleagues found the grave site for most of the Imperial Family, Dr. Botkin, Anna Demidova, and Alexis Trupp. They used hints and clues from a book by Pavel Voikov, who was one of the people who carried out the murders.

When I visited Russia in 2004. I toured the castles of the romanovs. The extravagance was astounding. The summer castle has floors, walls and ceilings done by artisans, each different , none were same nor similar. The ppl were starving and tired of war were they were not winning but fodder. After seeing this and touring the heritage museum w it’s so many treasures I could see why there was a revolution. Revolutionists are ruthless as it was in France. The queen becomes the scape goat both Alexandria and Marie Antionette.
It is a huge shame the tsarevich Alexi had haemolophebia because that was the root cause of much of the problem and gave an opportunity for Rasputin to influence the royal family. In my view, there was a place for a constitutional monarchy, but as things turned out, not only did the family lose the monarchy, but Lenin and his confederates were able to capture Russia and form the USSR. If only the royal family had shared Alexi's illness and never met Rasputin!
Alexei had hemophilia B, factor IX deficiency, and it is rarer than the more common hemophilia A, Factor VIII deficiency. Women who carry the gene may also demonstrate problems with clotting themselves as they may be showing signs of factor deficiency, Queen Victoria’s male descendants with the disease shared a severe lack of clotting factor.

The bodies were not found at the bottom of a mineshaft. The bodies were moved from there by Yakov Yurovski, the commander of the Ipatiev house where the Czar and his family were imprisoned. The guards knew where the bodies were and could divulge the location, so Yurovski had the bodies loaded into a truck and driven into the forest. When the truck became bogged, the bodies were offloaded and the soldiers worked the unbog the truck. Yurovski attempted to burn the smallest bodies (unsuccessfully), and eventually it was decided to throw the bodies into the hole where the truck had been bogged, covering them with timber. THIS is where the bodies were found, with the bodies of Alexei and Maria found nearby at the site where Yurovski had attempted to burn their remains to ash.
One thing that Rasputin did was to order that the doctors stop giving Alexei aspirin, which is an anti-coagulant. Thus Alexi improved, but Rasputin got more credit than he deserved. The British royals, cousins of the Romanovs, had invited the family refuge, but the children (the girls, not sure about Alexei) came down with the measles and could not travel right away. By the time they recovered, the British royal family (or maybe just the king) had changed his mind, deciding that the public would not accept them and that it might cause problems for those currently in power. A twist of fate with tragic results, at least for Nicholas and Alexandra and their children. The Empress's name was Alexandra, not Alexandria. Very interesting. Thank you very much for this video.
@shesaknitter in my humble opinion, I really do think that rasputin was a very bad devil 👿, who wanted to be a part of the ROMANOV family, & maybe 🤔 even to have sex with the Queen of RUSIA , but who really knows what occurred with ALEXEI ?
It was impossible to get the Romanovs out after the revolution. They were all trapped. Nicholas has been advised to send his wife and children to the safety of the Crimea in January 1917. He stupidly refused. The rest is history.
Yes personally it was the wrong thing to do but it was the right thing to do politically at the time. So many revolutions were happening at the time and if King George v had taken in his family, there could’ve been a possible revolution in England and possibly and increase of influence of communism around the country, which is what he thought would happen. At the time Romanovs weren’t the most well liked family. Even though they weren’t tyrants and didn’t deserve their fate, they did nothing to help their country. When Nicholas came into power, Russia was a powerhouse but as time went on, he practically destroyed it all because he wanted to keep tradition and not change with the times. Also his wife wasn’t the best person either as she relied on Rasputin to help her and he didn’t have the best reputation. Her German ties also caused problems because of world war 1 even though her husband was German too. So if King George had given them asylum, he and his own family lives would've been threatened as well.

No surprise at all they turned away those innocent children of their own cousins and the last tzar of Russia, and all just for the looks of it!
Anybody on here that says the English King tried to help are lying' and don't know history * googled something & took it as gospel. They had no intention & this is list of reasons. 1King George V, the Queen's grandfather, didn't help his cousin, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, for a number of reasons, including ' he was an unpopular king. George V was unpopular in England and could have faced forced abdication if he was seen to be too welcoming to the Romanovs. Hostility towards Germany Alexandra, the Tsar's wife, was German, and Britain was at war with Germany at the time. 2 The Working class unrest George V worried that bringing the Tsar and Tsarina to England would cause unrest among the working classes, who supported the Russian Revolution. Relations with the Bolsheviks The British government needed to maintain good relations with the new Bolshevik regime. George V was concerned about having two major imperial families in the United Kingdom. The Tsar and his family were ultimately assassinated. The decision not to rescue the Romanovs was made over a number of weeks in early 1917. But remember it took the German Family 3 yrs to change their surname from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor the WW1 started in 1914 they changed their name in 1917 3yrs later. Disgusting.
They needed to change their name for British citizens to understand they were a British monarchy. The romanovs had to withhold their escape to England because the romanov daughters caught measles and the delay meant they lost their chance to escape. The mother and daughters with measles lot 5heir hair fo a ime. Tht could be why they had hurt her in he photos. On photo showed them all bald. There was civil unrest in England but the king did try to save them. Its not fair to say he was looking out for #1. When I got this clearer information I felt I could forgive the King. He wanted them here.
The British might have sent them to Madeira, to Saint Helena or somewhere else out of sight. As the British did with the Emperor of Austria and his family or Napoleon I. The Emperor of France, Napoleon III with his family found refuge in UK. The Tsar and the king they where cousins. I don't believe he did not try to help the Romanov family. I think it was British parliament to decide. UK is a constitutional monarchy. It is heart breaking. R.I.P.

Zar Nicolas was a weak & incompetent Ruler. His own Mother Warned him of the serious Danger; but he ignored her & she left Russia in time. _Zar Nicolas only had ears for his arrogant & stupid Wife & she perceived no threat, if Rasputin was with them.

You have to remember the time period. In the late 1800's, a caesarian operation could not be accomplished without killing the mother in childbirth. Henceforth came the Kaiser Wilhelm II and his Erb's palsy, the deformed arm that was rendered useless upon birth because his head didn't come out of the womb first but rather his legs. Now you ask why I mention the Kaiser. That's because all European royalty was related to Queen Victoria and as a result her bloodline was a problem itself. The male line was the carrier of the terrible hemophilia. But the time itself, as medical technology was ever changing, was also a barrier in the European royalty's effort to keep royal lines going. And I don't think the Kaiser was at fault for World War One.
Yes, for a while, it was not known which girl was missing from the resting place of the rest of the family, along with Alexei. It was theorized that it was Anastasia, but later proved to be Maria. Anastasia was 17, while Maria was 19 and developmentally, there is very little difference anatomically between the skeleton of a 17 y/o and that of a 19 y/o.
I’m not quite sure where you’ve got all your information, but if you do read books on Alex by a woman named Helen Rapport and some other authors yes Alexis was spoiled but not for that long and he didn’t order his sisters around, it was more with the staff. For example, he would constantly walk past the guards and make them salute him but one day Nicholas saw him do this not only did he chide Alexeis for this behaviour? He also ordered the guards that they were not to salute Alexeis unless under circumstances. It was also reported that. Alexeis yes indeed was a brat but it was for very short period and because of his own suffering very quickly became a very compassionate young man
Czar Nicolas was a horrible and cruel king who couldn’t care less while Russia starved and therefore it made sense for Russia to fall to communism and end the Czars reign of terror… but unfortunately Lenin was a worse successor
I wouldn’t necessarily ascribe cruelty or malice to Nicholas, when his disastrous reign could be attributed to complete incompetence. He’s a walking example of why a hereditary, autocratic monarchy is a terrible method of government. Historically, there are a lot of similarities between Nicholas II of Russia and Louis XVI of France. Neither man created the situation they inherited- their ancestors did, and both were completely incompetent as rulers. And both reigns ended in violent revolutions that swept far beyond their nations’ borders.

Tsar Nicholas was terrified 'prisoner' kept isolated from the real world by those who wanted to keep their stranglehold on absolute power. And Who Feared Nicholas Might Yet Turn To The Path His Father Had Been Trying To Forge - The Right To Vote & Own Land For The Peasants!
Interesting. According to this video, they found the remains of a girl and a pre=teen boy. As Alexei was born in 1904 and killed in 1918, he wouldn't have been a preteen boy. Not saying it wasn't him, just it's interesting.
Loads of people killed and burried all over Russia during the revolution. According to reports the bodies were very badly mutilated burned and over 90 years burried which would make it very hard to get proper DNA results.
One raised by a tyrannical father as well. Who knows what he could have grown into. Nicholas's own father had very mixed results concerning the success of his reign, but then again, he had never been raised to become Tzar, having two older siblings, one of whom was an older brother who died young. Nicholas had always been heir apparent and it seems that the power went to his head. Who knows if Alexei would have been the same way, or if he would have been 'the Peacemaker' his Grandfather had become known as.
Queen Victoria had royal descendants throughout europe who also didnt provide refuge but as the uk was the most powerful they would have been the best had they bothered
Everyone in the Romanov Royal family kept a diary and they wrote in them up to the day before they are killed. Those diary's where preserved in the Soviet Archives. A lot of the info about Alexi and the whole family comes from them. A book called The Last Czar by Edvard Radzinsky is a good source.

Women absolutely CAN have hemophilia. So you’re wrong on alleging that mistake. Doesn’t give me much confidence that you would be right about there being “so many mistakes”.
If Alexei had become totally healed and healthy, Rasputin's days with the Romanovs would have been numbered! Rasputin wanted to preserve the illusion that he alone was keeping Alexei alive so THAT is why the Romanov parents completely let Rasputin take over until his own murder- despite all the graft and misery he wrought to so many around him (e.g. large numbers of women in St. Petersburg and elsewhere were assaulted by the married Rasputin and the victims tried to report his attacks to the authorities but the Romanovs treated him as though he could do no wrong AND quashed any investigations much less allowed any charges or legal punishments to be rendered). There was gossip swirling that Rasputin was having an extramarital affair with Alexandra herself but since he knew that ALL his power came from Nicholas and knew that Nicholas would have had the power to have him executed if he had any suspicion of Rasputin having had any inappropriate dealings with Alexandra or their daughters, it's most likely that Rasputin treated the Romanov women like plutonium due to not wanting to risk losing his power . .or his own life.
Hemophilia is treatable but not curable. Rasputin's suggestions allowed Alexei to heal faster, but he would never heal. Prince Leopold, Queen Victoria's son, was also a hemophiliac and died young.
@@cair124Leopold’s daughter Princess Alice of Albany was a carrier of the disease herself, because her father had the disease.

Alice’s brother became the notorious Nazi supporting Duke of Coburg.
@@cair124Most hemophilia patients tended to die young before blood transfusions and later clotting factor became available. Sadly, many men and boys contracted HIV from a contaminated blood supply and died of AIDS.
I have been studying the Romanovs for 2 years now, since November 2022. Anyone who is interested in the subject should know this. The fate of the Romanov dynasty was not decided by Alexei's hemophilia or Nicholas II's perceived weak political power. It was decided by New York bankers on 14 February 1916. People should note all the symbolism attached to the murder of the Romanov family and their four servants, the maid Demidova, the valet Trupp, the chef Kharitonov and Dr. Botkin. Botkin orphaned his own children to be with the Tsar and his family. How many times do you hear of a father or mother who orphans their own children to be with someone else ? This is the power of the Romanovs. The Bolsheviks hated them and the only real way they were going to kill them is through secret military connections with the United States via Lenin, Trotsky and Sverdlovsk. Years later even Yurovsky said he regretted killing the Tsar. His own son was not amazed by the feat of murdering 11 unarmed people in the middle of the night, more specially at around 2:00 am local time on 17 July 1918. If anyone aside from is paying attention, check this out: Siberia is 10 time zones ahead of New York City, so at the same time it was 4:00 pm on 16 July 1918 in New York City, right around the time the banks close. After the murder, it was said that the killers had dispatched a telegram to New York City to confirm the unthinkable: all 11 were dead, including the Tsar. Hurt Pride "October Revolution" you say ? If you're a bolshevik and somebody said to you the Revolution, that is the second Revolution, happened on 25 October 1917 you would be right, but only in Russia. That's because the calendar had not changed yet. And on that day pretty much everywhere else it was 7 November 1918 and not 25 October. Imagine somebody said the stock market crash happened in 1939 and not 1929 ? Do you not the see the hurt pride of Lenin ? Well on 1 February 1918, the calendar became 14 February 1918. Scroll up and see that day of 14 February 1916 when illuminati banker Jacob Schiff gave the order to murder the Tsar and his family but of course like any real killer, waiting for the right moment is always the key.That key came on 17 July 1918. Some strange coincidences are truly a sign of the free masons 1891-a failed attempt on the Tsarevich Nicholas II's life is made on Japan 1918- a successful attempt on murdering the Tsar and his whole family plus four faithful servants. play around with the numbers and see a pattern here 1 - 1 - 8 - 9 it's these same numbers but positioned differently. Date of the murder 17 July 1918, on that day it is 4 July 1918 on the Julian calendar, anyone know what 4 July means ? Symbolism is everywhere in this story. If you look closely the number of days between 14 Feb 1916 and 1918 is 717. 7 is July and 17 is the day. Right after the murder it was said that the killers wired a telegram not to Lenin, Trotsky or Sverdlovsk, but to an American bank in New York City. I wonder why. But we all know who runs things anyway now don't we. There is way more symbolism but free free to ask me. I wanted to add the deep spiritual ties with the Russian Orthodox Church made it impossible for many Russians to forget about the Tsar, his family and their servants. They eventually all became Saints in their church. This was Lenin's worst nightmare. He had wanted to get rid of Royalty in Russia and although he succeeded in some ways, he did not in every way. I wanted to make something clear in case anyone was not paying attention: it was 17 July 1918 when they were murdered but it was actually 16 July 1918 in New York City. This means the Julian calendar would be 3 July 1918 in the US and 4 July 1918 in Russia. So if you look closely you will see that certain illuminati American were celebrating some kind of independence in Russia on that day-a sort of independence from the Orthodox Church. Symbolically the Tsar was equivalent to a pope in the Roman Catholic Church and so therefore they were not just murdering the Tsar they were also murdering a pope with specific religious status. In the American Revolution, victory over King George's Great Britain was victory over Royalty whereas this victory was over both Royalty and religion. If you see my point, then you will understand why so many parallels are made between specific dates, numbers, etc.
I would respectfully draw your attention to the fact that since the Reign of Henry Vlll , the reigning monarch is the Head of The Church of England ... as is the case to this present day . 🇬🇧
@@LoneGroover55 Thank you for your information. I'm not perfect. But how many monarchs like Tsar Nicholas II did as much for their country in terms of religion as him ? You have seen the black and white videos. How Nicholas II showed icons of Christ the savior to the troops before marching off to war. Have you seen photos of their bedroom ? I have seen many private photos of their bedrooms and I have to say that the one thing the Bolsheviks did was exaggerate their faith in both in literature and photography. For example in the museum of the Revolution that opened in 1927 in the very same house where they were murdered on 17 July 1918 were photographs of their bedroom and clearly edited, the editor or editors added a ton of iconography all over their walls, so much so that you could barely see the walls. This was untrue, the real photos did not have such exaggerated religious splendor.
Spoiled and groomed for power he would have been a dreadful despot as Tsar. The upbringing was another thing his father was responsible for that imploded
When the rest of the family were found, Alexei and one of the teenage daughters were missing. They thought at first that it could be Anastasia who was missing, but it turned out to be Maria. Ana was 17, while Maria was 19 and anatomically, there is little difference between the skeleton of a 17 y/o and that of a 19 y/o. So the mix up when only one skeleton had been found was understandable.

Kerensky frankly told Nicholas the Bolsheviks were after himself and then would be after Nicholas and his family. The family was housed in a Tobolsk house, and conditions became far worse for them once the Bolsheviks took over. In early 1918, the Bolsheviks moved the Imperial Family to Ekaterinburg and imprisoned them in Nikolai Ipatiev’s home, which they confiscated from Ipatiev. Yeltsin was ordered by the central government to tear the house down in 1977, and he did so. Later Yeltsin regretted having done so in his memoirs.

But what if a nurse or other respected medical professional made that connection first (before Rasputin got involved)? Just saying.
Rasputin never helped Alexis in any way.
Wtf would they give aspirin to someone bleeding...not that he was worth saving eitherway...
"What if " did not happen.We can only discuss what did happen
im unsure if they knew that aspirin was a blood thinner. I mean they should have given him something else.
@@kanohanebecause of the pain, especially in his joints. Nobody new then that aspirin was a blood thinner.
No one deserves the way they died , and afterwards .Especially the children .
Exactly. No matter what the parents did, the children shouldn't have been punished for it. But many generations of royal and titled children have been slaughtered by their parent's opposition, in order to kill the entire bloodline and pose no threat to the opposition in the future.
They actually moved the bodies from the mineshaft, realizing that hadn't concealed the bodies. They went further in the forest. It has been speculate that the vehicle got stuck in the mud and they removed and buried 2 of the bodies. Then they went further into the forest and buried the rest of the family. 🙂🇨🇦

@@jeanmkaufmann This is correct, and it’s exactly where Alexander Avdonin and his colleagues found the grave site for most of the Imperial Family, Dr. Botkin, Anna Demidova, and Alexis Trupp. They used hints and clues from a book by Pavel Voikov, who was one of the people who carried out the murders.

Fascinating and deeply moving documentary, Alexei Romanov is a tragic figure, his story is truly haunting.
I wonder if the soldiers also avoided shooting the children and concentrated fire on the adults reckonning that no one would know who shot who in that hail of bullets? That would explain them not being killed outright combined with the gemstone protection?
When I visited Russia in 2004. I toured the castles of the romanovs. The extravagance was astounding. The summer castle has floors, walls and ceilings done by artisans, each different , none were same nor similar. The ppl were starving and tired of war were they were not winning but fodder. After seeing this and touring the heritage museum w it’s so many treasures I could see why there was a revolution. Revolutionists are ruthless as it was in France. The queen becomes the scape goat both Alexandria and Marie Antionette.
It is a huge shame the tsarevich Alexi had haemolophebia because that was the root cause of much of the problem and gave an opportunity for Rasputin to influence the royal family. In my view, there was a place for a constitutional monarchy, but as things turned out, not only did the family lose the monarchy, but Lenin and his confederates were able to capture Russia and form the USSR. If only the royal family had shared Alexi's illness and never met Rasputin!
Alexei had hemophilia B, factor IX deficiency, and it is rarer than the more common hemophilia A, Factor VIII deficiency. Women who carry the gene may also demonstrate problems with clotting themselves as they may be showing signs of factor deficiency, Queen Victoria’s male descendants with the disease shared a severe lack of clotting factor.

The bodies were not found at the bottom of a mineshaft. The bodies were moved from there by Yakov Yurovski, the commander of the Ipatiev house where the Czar and his family were imprisoned. The guards knew where the bodies were and could divulge the location, so Yurovski had the bodies loaded into a truck and driven into the forest. When the truck became bogged, the bodies were offloaded and the soldiers worked the unbog the truck. Yurovski attempted to burn the smallest bodies (unsuccessfully), and eventually it was decided to throw the bodies into the hole where the truck had been bogged, covering them with timber. THIS is where the bodies were found, with the bodies of Alexei and Maria found nearby at the site where Yurovski had attempted to burn their remains to ash.
And the moral of the story? If you have power over a country and its people use it to look after them.

One thing that Rasputin did was to order that the doctors stop giving Alexei aspirin, which is an anti-coagulant. Thus Alexi improved, but Rasputin got more credit than he deserved.
The British royals, cousins of the Romanovs, had invited the family refuge, but the children (the girls, not sure about Alexei) came down with the measles and could not travel right away. By the time they recovered, the British royal family (or maybe just the king) had changed his mind, deciding that the public would not accept them and that it might cause problems for those currently in power. A twist of fate with tragic results, at least for Nicholas and Alexandra and their children.
The Empress's name was Alexandra, not Alexandria.
Very interesting. Thank you very much for this video.
@shesaknitter in my humble opinion, I really do think that rasputin was a very bad devil 👿, who wanted to be a part of the ROMANOV family, & maybe 🤔 even to have sex with the Queen of RUSIA , but who really knows what occurred with ALEXEI ?
It was impossible to get the Romanovs out after the revolution. They were all trapped. Nicholas has been advised to send his wife and children to the safety of the Crimea in January 1917. He stupidly refused. The rest is history.

Yes personally it was the wrong thing to do but it was the right thing to do politically at the time. So many revolutions were happening at the time and if King George v had taken in his family, there could’ve been a possible revolution in England and possibly and increase of influence of communism around the country, which is what he thought would happen. At the time Romanovs weren’t the most well liked family. Even though they weren’t tyrants and didn’t deserve their fate, they did nothing to help their country. When Nicholas came into power, Russia was a powerhouse but as time went on, he practically destroyed it all because he wanted to keep tradition and not change with the times. Also his wife wasn’t the best person either as she relied on Rasputin to help her and he didn’t have the best reputation. Her German ties also caused problems because of world war 1 even though her husband was German too. So if King George had given them asylum, he and his own family lives would've been threatened as well.

Nicolas asked for help but his cousin the king of UK decided not to help the treasure of the Czar was in the UK and was taken by the Royal family all the assets were claimed by the Royal family this is the true story which was hidden
no one owes one anything
Not suprised as our most famous Irish author James joyce said three things to be weary of a horse's hoof's a dog's teeth and an Englishman's smile.
George V and his awful wife, one nutless and the other heartless, let their own youngest son, who embarrassing to them was an epileptic, die hidden away in obscurity with only his nanny to keep him company. No surprise at all they turned away those innocent children of their own cousins and the last tzar of Russia, and all just for the looks of it!
Anybody on here that says the English King tried to help are lying' and don't know history * googled something & took it as gospel. They had no intention & this is list of reasons. 1King George V, the Queen's grandfather, didn't help his cousin, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, for a number of reasons, including ' he was an unpopular king.
George V was unpopular in England and could have faced forced abdication if he was seen to be too welcoming to the Romanovs.
Hostility towards Germany
Alexandra, the Tsar's wife, was German, and Britain was at war with Germany at the time.
2 The Working class unrest
George V worried that bringing the Tsar and Tsarina to England would cause unrest among the working classes, who supported the Russian Revolution. Relations with the Bolsheviks
The British government needed to maintain good relations with the new Bolshevik regime.
George V was concerned about having two major imperial families in the United Kingdom. The Tsar and his family were ultimately assassinated. The decision not to rescue the Romanovs was made over a number of weeks in early 1917. But remember it took the German Family 3 yrs to change their surname from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor the WW1 started in 1914 they changed their name in 1917 3yrs later. Disgusting.
It wzs completely impossible to get the Romanov out to the west.
They needed to change their name for British citizens to understand they were a British monarchy. The romanovs had to withhold their escape to England because the romanov daughters caught measles and the delay meant they lost their chance to escape. The mother and daughters with measles lot 5heir hair fo a ime. Tht could be why they had hurt her in he photos.
On photo showed them all bald. There was civil unrest in England but the king did try to save them. Its not fair to say he was looking out for #1. When I got this clearer information I felt I could forgive the King. He wanted them here.
The British might have sent them to Madeira, to Saint Helena or somewhere else out of sight. As the British did with the Emperor of Austria and his family or Napoleon I. The Emperor of France, Napoleon III with his family found refuge in UK. The Tsar and the king they where cousins. I don't believe he did not try to help the Romanov family. I think it was British parliament to decide. UK is a constitutional monarchy. It is heart breaking. R.I.P.

A very sad and depressing end , the children totally did not deserve this, but it has happened. RIP the czar and his family.
such a sad story.
You have to remember the time period. In the late 1800's, a caesarian operation could not be accomplished without killing the mother in childbirth. Henceforth came the Kaiser Wilhelm II and his Erb's palsy, the deformed arm that was rendered useless upon birth because his head didn't come out of the womb first but rather his legs. Now you ask why I mention the Kaiser. That's because all European royalty was related to Queen Victoria and as a result her bloodline was a problem itself. The male line was the carrier of the terrible hemophilia. But the time itself, as medical technology was ever changing, was also a barrier in the European royalty's effort to keep royal lines going. And I don't think the Kaiser was at fault for World War One.
I am from Pretoria his hometown .Proud of him.
OMG! How horrible!
So Anastasia was actually killed then also? 😢
Yes, for a while, it was not known which girl was missing from the resting place of the rest of the family, along with Alexei. It was theorized that it was Anastasia, but later proved to be Maria. Anastasia was 17, while Maria was 19 and developmentally, there is very little difference anatomically between the skeleton of a 17 y/o and that of a 19 y/o.
I’m not quite sure where you’ve got all your information, but if you do read books on Alex by a woman named Helen Rapport and some other authors yes Alexis was spoiled but not for that long and he didn’t order his sisters around, it was more with the staff. For example, he would constantly walk past the guards and make them salute him but one day Nicholas saw him do this not only did he chide Alexeis for this behaviour? He also ordered the guards that they were not to salute Alexeis unless under circumstances. It was also reported that. Alexeis yes indeed was a brat but it was for very short period and because of his own suffering very quickly became a very compassionate young man

Do an expose on the other terrors that believe that god chose them
Czar Nicolas was a horrible and cruel king who couldn’t care less while Russia starved and therefore it made sense for Russia to fall to communism and end the Czars reign of terror… but unfortunately Lenin was a worse successor
I wouldn’t necessarily ascribe cruelty or malice to Nicholas, when his disastrous reign could be attributed to complete incompetence. He’s a walking example of why a hereditary, autocratic monarchy is a terrible method of government. Historically, there are a lot of similarities between Nicholas II of Russia and Louis XVI of France. Neither man created the situation they inherited- their ancestors did, and both were completely incompetent as rulers. And both reigns ended in violent revolutions that swept far beyond their nations’ borders.

Interesting. According to this video, they found the remains of a girl and a pre=teen boy. As Alexei was born in 1904 and killed in 1918, he wouldn't have been a preteen boy. Not saying it wasn't him, just it's interesting.
they found him and his sister later...
He was 13, two weeks shy of 14 when he was murdered. He was not particularly big for his age, probably due to his medical issues.
They confirmed with dna testing
@lesfleurs9781 I know was at later officiall recovery on the international team
Loads of people killed and burried all over Russia during the revolution. According to reports the bodies were very badly mutilated burned and over 90 years burried which would make it very hard to get proper DNA results.
Alexi a terror!!!! He was just a boy.
One raised by a tyrannical father as well. Who knows what he could have grown into. Nicholas's own father had very mixed results concerning the success of his reign, but then again, he had never been raised to become Tzar, having two older siblings, one of whom was an older brother who died young. Nicholas had always been heir apparent and it seems that the power went to his head. Who knows if Alexei would have been the same way, or if he would have been 'the Peacemaker' his Grandfather had become known as.
Queen Victoria had royal descendants throughout europe who also didnt provide refuge but as the uk was the most powerful they would have been the best had they bothered

Why couldn't Rasputin totally heal Alexei? God's Will?🤨 Seems kind of sadistic, but then he would have suffered the same fate in the end.
In English, what ???
If Alexei had become totally healed and healthy, Rasputin's days with the Romanovs would have been numbered! Rasputin wanted to preserve the illusion that he alone was keeping Alexei alive so THAT is why the Romanov parents completely let Rasputin take over until his own murder- despite all the graft and misery he wrought to so many around him (e.g. large numbers of women in St. Petersburg and elsewhere were assaulted by the married Rasputin and the victims tried to report his attacks to the authorities but the Romanovs treated him as though he could do no wrong AND quashed any investigations much less allowed any charges or legal punishments to be rendered). There was gossip swirling that Rasputin was having an extramarital affair with Alexandra herself but since he knew that ALL his power came from Nicholas and knew that Nicholas would have had the power to have him executed if he had any suspicion of Rasputin having had any inappropriate dealings with Alexandra or their daughters, it's most likely that Rasputin treated the Romanov women like plutonium due to not wanting to risk losing his power . .or his own life.
Hemophilia is treatable but not curable. Rasputin's suggestions allowed Alexei to heal faster, but he would never heal. Prince Leopold, Queen Victoria's son, was also a hemophiliac and died young.
@@cair124Leopold’s daughter Princess Alice of Albany was a carrier of the disease herself, because her father had the disease.

The CRAZIEST true s*it!
I have been studying the Romanovs for 2 years now, since November 2022. Anyone who is interested in the subject should know this. The fate of the Romanov dynasty was not decided by Alexei's hemophilia or Nicholas II's perceived weak political power. It was decided by New York bankers on 14 February 1916. People should note all the symbolism attached to the murder of the Romanov family and their four servants, the maid Demidova, the valet Trupp, the chef Kharitonov and Dr. Botkin. Botkin orphaned his own children to be with the Tsar and his family. How many times do you hear of a father or mother who orphans their own children to be with someone else ? This is the power of the Romanovs. The Bolsheviks hated them and the only real way they were going to kill them is through secret military connections with the United States via Lenin, Trotsky and Sverdlovsk. Years later even Yurovsky said he regretted killing the Tsar. His own son was not amazed by the feat of murdering 11 unarmed people in the middle of the night, more specially at around 2:00 am local time on 17 July 1918. If anyone aside from is paying attention, check this out: Siberia is 10 time zones ahead of New York City, so at the same time it was 4:00 pm on 16 July 1918 in New York City, right around the time the banks close. After the murder, it was said that the killers had dispatched a telegram to New York City to confirm the unthinkable: all 11 were dead, including the Tsar.
Hurt Pride
"October Revolution" you say ? If you're a bolshevik and somebody said to you the Revolution, that is the second Revolution, happened on 25 October 1917 you would be right, but only in Russia. That's because the calendar had not changed yet. And on that day pretty much everywhere else it was 7 November 1918 and not 25 October. Imagine somebody said the stock market crash happened in 1939 and not 1929 ? Do you not the see the hurt pride of Lenin ? Well on 1 February 1918, the calendar became 14 February 1918. Scroll up and see that day of 14 February 1916 when illuminati banker Jacob Schiff gave the order to murder the Tsar and his family but of course like any real killer, waiting for the right moment is always the key.That key came on 17 July 1918.
Some strange coincidences are truly a sign of the free masons
1891-a failed attempt on the Tsarevich Nicholas II's life is made on Japan
1918- a successful attempt on murdering the Tsar and his whole family plus four faithful servants.
play around with the numbers and see a pattern here 1 - 1 - 8 - 9
it's these same numbers but positioned differently.
Date of the murder 17 July 1918, on that day it is 4 July 1918 on the Julian calendar, anyone know what 4 July means ?
Symbolism is everywhere in this story. If you look closely the number of days between 14 Feb 1916 and 1918 is 717. 7 is July and 17 is the day.
Right after the murder it was said that the killers wired a telegram not to Lenin, Trotsky or Sverdlovsk, but to an American bank in New York City. I wonder why. But we all know who runs things anyway now don't we. There is way more symbolism but free free to ask me.
I wanted to add the deep spiritual ties with the Russian Orthodox Church made it impossible for many Russians to forget about the Tsar, his family and their servants. They eventually all became Saints in their church. This was Lenin's worst nightmare. He had wanted to get rid of Royalty in Russia and although he succeeded in some ways, he did not in every way.
I wanted to make something clear in case anyone was not paying attention: it was 17 July 1918 when they were murdered but it was actually 16 July 1918 in New York City. This means the Julian calendar would be 3 July 1918 in the US and 4 July 1918 in Russia. So if you look closely you will see that certain illuminati American were celebrating some kind of independence in Russia on that day-a sort of independence from the Orthodox Church. Symbolically the Tsar was equivalent to a pope in the Roman Catholic Church and so therefore they were not just murdering the Tsar they were also murdering a pope with specific religious status. In the American Revolution, victory over King George's Great Britain was victory over Royalty whereas this victory was over both Royalty and religion. If you see my point, then you will understand why so many parallels are made between specific dates, numbers, etc.
I would respectfully draw your attention to the fact that since the Reign of Henry Vlll , the reigning monarch is the Head of The Church of England ... as is the case to this present day . 🇬🇧
@@LoneGroover55 Thank you for your information. I'm not perfect. But how many monarchs like Tsar Nicholas II did as much for their country in terms of religion as him ? You have seen the black and white videos. How Nicholas II showed icons of Christ the savior to the troops before marching off to war. Have you seen photos of their bedroom ? I have seen many private photos of their bedrooms and I have to say that the one thing the Bolsheviks did was exaggerate their faith in both in literature and photography. For example in the museum of the Revolution that opened in 1927 in the very same house where they were murdered on 17 July 1918 were photographs of their bedroom and clearly edited, the editor or editors added a ton of iconography all over their walls, so much so that you could barely see the walls. This was untrue, the real photos did not have such exaggerated religious splendor.

I thought that was Anna who survived.
None of them did, that was a rumor for awhile but apparently all of them were eventually accounted for.
When the rest of the family were found, Alexei and one of the teenage daughters were missing. They thought at first that it could be Anastasia who was missing, but it turned out to be Maria. Ana was 17, while Maria was 19 and anatomically, there is little difference between the skeleton of a 17 y/o and that of a 19 y/o. So the mix up when only one skeleton had been found was understandable.
Yakov Yurovsky, who ordered the execution with Lenin's permission, was Jewish.
