    yeah that "mansion" the Tzar's family was held in was not luxury accommodation. The guards removed all the doors so that the family had no privacy -- that includes the bathroom doors. When they realized the family enjoyed fresh air and looking out the windows at the sky and the countryside, they covered up and sealed all the windows so the family could not get any fresh air and their rooms would be dark. the family was treated roughly. The doctors were barred from seeing or treating their sick son. There are rumors that the daughters were SA by the guards. They were only allowed to be outside for one hour a day. Their plain food and water was rationed and the guards stole most of it. They were not allowed to have newspapers. They were not allowed to have any communication with anyone or receive mail. They were kept completely isolated from the world. And that was not an execution. It was murder.

      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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

      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.

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.

    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. So when Rasputin was eliminated, it was too late for the Family to escape. England did not move a finger to help either.

      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.

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

      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.

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.

      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.

    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 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.
