King George originally offered Tsar Nicholas and his family refuge in Britain, but later rescinded his offer due to the political climate, which is devastating given the fact that they were cousins. In fact, the British, German, and Russian royal families were all related. Tsar Nicholas had written to Kaiser Wilhelm, his German cousin (who was noted for looking exceedingly similar to him), calling him by his nickname Willy, and had implored him to call off the war. However, it’s interesting how Russia would be the first to mobilize, on a direct order from the Tsar, despite his letter. Goes to show Queen Victoria’s strategy of marrying her grandchildren into European families to keep the peace had backfired. Not even the royal familial relations could have prevented war.
@@hillarywoo4977 They would no doubt have moved to Britain but four of the children were sick with measles and couldn't be moved. By the time they had recovered King George with drew his offer due to political climate.
He was NOT a Tyrant, more incompetent, no doubt his heart was in the right place and he genuinely cared for the people, his private diaries and letters and those who knew him, show he often stayed awake for 48hrs constantly worrying and working to fix the given issue that arose. He saw his power as immense responsibility and he didn’t even want the crown as he felt he wasn’t up to the duty. He had the best intentions and certainly did a lot of good. Was he the best leader?? No! But he was 10 times better than the soviets. Look up his political reforms....you’ve been lied to. He who wins the conflict writes the history,
True. I read a book with some entries on the tsar’s diary and it is very evident that he is a kind-hearted chap. If you have time, try to read “The Romanov Royal Martyrs”.
The czar was kind hearted but indecisive and weak and it was his wife that ruled with Rasputin once the war started and they kept their son’s blood condition secret hence the rumours about Rasputin and her. The people didn’t know why was Rasputin there and she believed he was healing their son as the bleeding coincidently stopped when he was around. Unfortunately, it all contributed to their demise. They lived in their own bubble and were oblivious to the trouble that was brewing outside the palace walls and took the wrong advice.
Well the 20th century was a changing time empire dying monarchs being overthrown the idea of monarchy is just outdated I don't even support our British Monarchy anymore but at least they don't have much power they shouldn't have any at all they should be abolished.
Someone really needs to make a movie depicting Nicholas II and his family's last days starting with a scene of Mikhail I's ascension and ending with the official burial of the Romanovs.
For some odd reason whenever I see video/pics of the Czar and his family last days, Lara's theme from Dr. Zhivago movie comes into my mind and it brings tears into my mind.
Unnecessary slaughter of innocent children. They could've just exiled them or his miserable cousin should have allowed them into England. From all the documentaries I've watched I would say they would've happily lived a quiet simple life and kept to themselves. From Louise
Yes and one of the girls was still alive while being thrown into the truck that would transport her and her family to their first grave. It was likely Maria and the men decided she was too badly wounded to live and so the men gave up trying to kill her. She died in the truck among the corpses of her family and attendants. It was when they got to the dumping site and tore off the clothes they noticed all the jewels and realised they were what made killing the girls so hard.
Everything changes, the Romanovs and other monarchies refused to change as the British did. Strange because the Russian royal family loved visiting GB and saw how different it was to Russia. Only under the previous Tsar had the Surfs been freed. The Russian people loved papa and mama, but you can't have peaceful hungry people, carrying icons, outside the royal palace slaughtered by Kosaks on horseback, and not have a revolution.
@@schoolssection yes,it was his grandfather .And he was assassinated. Which caused his son , Nicholas’ father, to be against many of his fathers reforms.
@@schoolssection Tsar Alexander II was the great reformer of Russia. It was unfortunate a couple SOB's assassinated him when he was on his way to once again reform Russia. Knowing his son, Alexander III, was an anti-reformer himself and during his reign did so. These were very costly years.
Actually, Nicholas II's brother Michael, which was supposed to become Tsar after Nicholas's abdication (which was also for Alexei), was a democrat at heart and wished to bring Russia to a similar system than the UK's. Alas, as he wanted the Douma's agreement before claiming himself Emperor, the bolcheviks killed him, and with him the hopes of the liberal movements. The truth is, at that time, the many grew with faith and the belief that tsarism was built by God so they were a minority to wish its total disparition. But the most violents are often the winners.
LOL They didn't sacrifice for Russia, they were shot against their will, on the other hand people talk about them as they were all taking decisions over the country, but it was only the Tsar not the entire family, the rest were just a bunch of children and a woman, and didn't deserve to die that way, no matter what their relatives did. That was just fanatism at its best. They also don't deserve to be treated as saints, they weren't ... just more fanatism.
The trouble with leaving even the kids alive is that it would have inevitably led to bloody rebellions fought in the name of putting them back on the throne.
wow wow wow wow you were sexiest. so you meant kill the men but save the girl because the vaginas are female. where is equality ? you sounded sexiest feminists with retarted double standards
They had to do it. There was no other way to cut their bloodline, all of them were too powerful to be left alive. The country was on its knees because of the monarchy
The Romanovs came to a sad and undeserved end. However, from my reading I believe Nicholas II brought the misery that resulted in revolution and dethroning on himself and his family. He was ill-suited to be tsar. He was generally unaware of social currents that were evolving in his country, and oblivious to the inevitability of change from the 300 year tsarist authoritarian model of government. He allowed himself to became distracted and was absorbed with small things when huge issues were looming. His decision to take military command of Russian forces in World War I was disastrous.
You got it perfectly! He was a poor ruler, and so was his wife Alexandra. Sadly, their advisors were a big part of the disaster. Already disconnected from the reality, it went worse as Rasputin showed up. But it is sure that, despite their terrible political deeds, they were very kind-hearted humans and not just some megalomaniac tyrants.
lmaooooo this is nothing compared to other stories in history. Nicholas got wat was coming to him, the only people you can feel bad for in this are the kids
Just imagine... The soldiers are trying to shoot the Romanov Family, the Tsars, the rulers of All Russia and they just won't die easily. They were considered demi gods and worshipped so just imagine how baffled and shocked the guards would be that they weren't dying and maybe horrified because what if they were *actually* gods?! And then the find the jewels and it all makes sense
Im sorryfor the tragedy they suffered at the end of their lives. No one should have such a horrible death, however I disagree with the saying that “they sacrifice their lives for the people of Russia”. While the Russian are suffering these royal family were still throwing lavish royal parties and continuing on with their lives as if nothing was going on...
I read many articles and stories about the last days of this tragic family and they all mention different details I think nobody knows what happened exactly
We know one thing and that’s the “Bolsheviks” weren’t Russians and after they took over tens of millions of Russians were executed and starved to death
@@NoAimLoser2 Nothing is wrong with Jews but people will still blame everything on them because they refused to die in history many times which is what anti semites want.
They never cease to amaze me at just how Christ-like they were in their sufferings and their last weeks and days. The amount of faith and spirituality they had is stunning.
@@colinlyne8688 They didn't suffer, of course they didn't. I don't think getting oppressed, harassed on a train and having to sit through a horrible and terribly executed execution of 30 minutes counts as suffering. Communism killed more Russians than the Romanovs did, and the Bolsheviks were directly involved and knew what they were doing, the Tsar may not have, there are multiple instances of which he is blamed to have been responsible but he was not even there.
Discovering this family and their story changed my life forever. I can't believe it'll soon be 100 years since they were killed. They did not deserve to die the way they did.
I think they are planning on burying Maria/Anastasia and Alexei on the 17th. Hope the kids get laid to rest with the rest of their family, they've been separated far too long.
This video has its facts mixed up. Nicholas II was not overthrown by the Bolsheviks. Nicholas abdicated in March 1917. The Bolsheviks did not come to power until November 1917. When Nicholas and his family were killed, the 300-year reign of the Romanovs had come to an end more than a year before. Frankly, I would expect better of the National Geographic Society.
Sure. Tens of thousands of people, who were executed, sent to die in Siberia, tortured to death by the secret police of Nikolai looked much more joyful. End of Romanovs came a century too late. Hateful tyrants.
Nicholas was a weak, ineffective leader who was influenced by the insane ramblings of his wife. He could have prevented the revolution if only he looked around him and took action, but he failed to do so, spending his time instead building palaces and playing games.
yes, people fail to see that his wife was a highly emotional person, with a higl level of arrogance and me, me attitude ... he was weak and by having that sort of wife made him even more vulnerable, in a way I feel sorry for him.
What was he supposed to do? The media already consumed the masses and convinced them at the royals were bad. If you have no one to believe in you or follow you, then you're overthrown.
@@taokuoh6805 Nicholas was an _AUTOCRAT,_ he had complete and total power over absolutely everything, including the press, which he heavily censored. He refused to take stock of the fact that the average Russian starved for the better part of the year, and he listened to fools and religious mystics and isolated himself in his palaces. As a result of his weakness, tens of millions of people died, including his own children.
@@monkeygraborange No Bolsheviks caused all that. Russia was one of the most respected countries at the time. And the population of Russia was fine. You can see the difference in old footage from Tsar era and Stalin era. 50 million died, raped and even ate each other. None of that under Tsar.
It’s very sad. I heard a first person account t the other day by one of the executioners. He stated it took almost 30min to kill them cause the soldiers got scared and just closed their eyes and blindly shot often missing their target. The girls had so many jewels in their underwear that it bounced bullets back. The son sat in his chair witnessing the whole thing and was one of the last to be shot. The girls were wounded and still alive and screaming as they were stabbed to death with the bayonets… he said one or two still made a noise even as they were being dragged out of the room. I guess the plan was each soldier was given a specific person to target and told to aim at the heart. They hoped it would be quick, painless and efficient.
‘’Нећете ми замерити, господо, што сам пре свега Рус и што су ми најближи интереси Русије, али вас уверавам да сам одмах после тога Србин и да су ми најближи интереси српског народа… Заслуге Србије биће стоструко награђене. После рата она ће бити неколико пута већа него што је данас!’’. Цар Николај Романов
Nikada to nije rekao. Ne postoji ni jedan dokaz da je to ikada rekao, niti o tome znaju ruski ili bilo koji drugi istoričari. To je mit koji postoji samo ovde, rusofilska izmišljotina. U politici ne postoje prijatelji, samo interesi. A njega nije bilo briga ni za Ruse a kamoli Srbe.
To the person who said, one of the girls was still alive in the back of the truck, how do u know for sure? Everything I have ever read, states they were all dead before being driven to the Koptyoki Forestcl, dismembered, dowsed in sulphoric acid and then buried in two unmarked graves
That is how they died? I thought they were shot only then burried This death was so brutal for them. How can their souls rest in peace after that kind of death. I hope they are resting in peace now. This is so heartbreaking.
That was me. It was based on the fact one girl was said to have still been moving after been beaton over the head with the end of a rifle and placed in the truck. Some investigators state two girls (Maria and Anastasia), left the cellar mortally wounded and died of their wounds. They beat the girls till they stopped screaming, not till they were dead. I believe the girl who sat up screaming to be Maria. The fragments found in 2007/8 was found with 3 bullets. It is known Alexei was shot twice, I believe the other bullet was lodged into Anastasias head and killed her. Maria's body (found in 1991), shows no bullet to the head but the thigh and that she was beaton around the head. I believe Maria to be the body found in 1991 mainly cause facial reconstruction on beaton skulls is not effective nor is facial reconstruction even that accurate. The bodies injuries fit the account of Maria's death and seem to be her height too. Maria's cause of death is unknown, likely bled to death or died from blood forced trauma. She the only ones whose injuries would not have killed her fast. Yurovsky and Ermokov do mention that one of the girls was mortally wounded and they gave up tryna kill her. Also they all were dead when they were buried in the two seperate graves. The family were initially buried elsewhere in a mine, they were dowsed in acid and dumped in seperate grave 1 or 2 days after their assassination. All were dead when they reached the mine. None of the family were alive when they were disposed of both times. The accounts varied or changes based on the documentary for effect. Documentaries investigating their homicides usually mention how 1 or 2 of the girls left the cellar alive but just barely. There are also some accounts which say Alexei was killed last which is not true at all. The 1st and 2nd account of many of the assassins appears to be similiar and also appears accurate based on the injuries of the remains found in 1991. Later on the accounts change. With some saying Nicholas was shot in the head (inaccurate), that all the girls were shot in the head (inaccurate), that some of the girls were stabbed in the face (innacurate).
Tzar Nicolas or his family were not tyrants or incompetent, they were a very loving family, they care very much for the less fortunate, during WWI the oldest daughters and Empress Alexandra were doing their very best to help soldiers who were hurt or became invalid in the war. You can find thousands of pictures of them taking care of soldiers, a little bit later before Tzar Nickolas abdicated both younger daughters did also joint their mother helping soldiers. Even the young heir Alexis was doing so. They gave a lot of their earnings to do so. They were at the time the richest people on Earth, land wise they had 1/3 of the population under them. They were not at all what it was made them be, they live a very family life. They did not have a huge opulent life, yes they had money, but most of it was given back to the less fortunate than they were. If you have a chance to read about them, please do you will realize they were not bad people. They prefer living in the Alexander Palace because it was a smaller more family-like Palace. Not similar at all to the many Palaces they own in St-Petersburg. I am not saying they were perfect, but what was done to them was brought by many other factors due to political venues. Alexei was a hemophiliac which at the time was a deadly disease. You can't go back and judge them on today's standards, and if you look at what happened to Russia after the Royalties were abolished well you can't help wondering if it was good or bad. Thinking of Lenin, Staline, and all those who followed them, think also what they did in Germany with the wall in Berlin? Who was best or worse history-wise. I can't help thinking, yes they did fine in doing a revolution in Russia, yet thinking really, was it? I do not think a Royal system should have been good for Russia then, but maybe, and I do mean maybe something similar to the Uk type of Royalties. But history may and can not go back in time to correct its own past, doesn't it?
Boa, o único erro é que quem na vdd pediu o muro se Berlim foi o "presidente" da Alemanha Oriental, até então, Stalin não tinha a menor objeção em construí um muro
What about all those poor people who died of hunger, famine, poverty during the rein of the romanovs... the romanovs family died, it is sad, but don’t forget about thousand of poor people who died to. Is a royal life worth more than a commoner life? No, all humans should be equal.
Equality isn’t possible because of human nature . We all naturally look up to other people and down upon others . Take a look at the Americans . They believe in equality and yet they act as if they are better than everybody else .
And what about the people who died of hunger, illness under communism? When there was dispossession, five-year plans ?Yes, Nikolai was a weak ruler, but studying the history of my country, you can see that people lived better than under Lenin. Poor people believed the Bolsheviks in fairy tales about freedom, and as a result received communism, in which every word you said would lead you to be shot. This is very sad. The sad pages of my country's history
Not saying royals are more important. But they have to be taken cared of. Caring for royals does not mean we arent caring for the poor people too... We care for anyone as long as they are a human being with a soul, life should be fair for all and no one deserves to die that way
What happened to them was tragic but they were no martyrs. Exactly what were they martyred for if you care to share? Lavish spending while the masses suffered in hunger and poverty??
I am also very sad 😢of the tragic end of the Romanovs especially the little children. Even though I am an Israeli. It is very painful to know about them I cannot understand why the British Royalty didn't help them. Efrat, Israe.

British royalty didn't help because of their fear that by importing the Romanovs, they might also be importing the same seeds of revolution that was roiling Russia.
@@charlottebuchanan3193 yes..and it was also a constitutional monarchy. The decision was not only up to the royal family. Parliament had a say in that .
God bless our Tsar's family and i am sure that they are in the Lord Jesus Christ. They are in God's hands that i can tell. So as my brothers and sisters in Christ who were killed in Armenia during Armenian genocide in the same year as Tsar's family killed, are all in God's hands.
The children didn’t deserved this death to be honest. Why can’t they just live happily after they were overthrown? Heck, not even their cousins get to stand a chance.
lol stop consuming liberal propaganda. The Bolsheviks and the workers and the peasants turned Russia from a complete autocracy to a radical democratic worker state. They did not set up any reign of terror.

In 1896, Czar Nikolas II made his coronation open to the public and offered as a little present a small bundle of food, like some bread, sausage, gingerbread and a souvenir cup. So many starving masses gathered that many people died because of the stampede and the Czar's guards who had to stop the mob. There were 1282 bodies recovered and up to 20.000 injured Although it was well known by the evening, the Czar acted as usual, attended a ball the same day and only wrote in his diary that the crowd was cheering. This was czarist Russia, and I don't like people beautifying this horrible past because they hated what followed. The Czar was not much better than Stalin. The Czar was a martyr but no saint.

Everything changes, the Romanovs and other monarchies refused to change as the British did. Strange because the Russian royal family loved visiting GB and saw how different it was to Russia. Only under the previous Tsar had the Surfs been freed. The Russian people loved papa and mama, but you can't have peaceful hungry people, carrying icons, outside the royal palace slaughtered by Kosaks on horseback, and not have a revolution.
Think it was Nicholas' grandfather not the 'previous Tsar' who initialized emancipation.
@@schoolssection yes,it was his grandfather .And he was assassinated. Which caused his son , Nicholas’ father, to be against many of his fathers reforms.
@@schoolssection Tsar Alexander II was the great reformer of Russia. It was unfortunate a couple SOB's assassinated him when he was on his way to once again reform Russia. Knowing his son, Alexander III, was an anti-reformer himself and during his reign did so. These were very costly years.
Actually, Nicholas II's brother Michael, which was supposed to become Tsar after Nicholas's abdication (which was also for Alexei), was a democrat at heart and wished to bring Russia to a similar system than the UK's. Alas, as he wanted the Douma's agreement before claiming himself Emperor, the bolcheviks killed him, and with him the hopes of the liberal movements. The truth is, at that time, the many grew with faith and the belief that tsarism was built by God so they were a minority to wish its total disparition. But the most violents are often the winners.
I always feels sad whenever watch or see this story ,they just don't deserve that kinda violence 😭😭
the kids didn’t, Nicholas did
@Methswan Coz he was responsible for the deaths of millions of peasants in Russia and oppressed minorities such as the Jews and Romanis.
@Methswan He was the Tsar? King of Russia???
@Methswan Yes 😭
LOL They didn't sacrifice for Russia, they were shot against their will, on the other hand people talk about them as they were all taking decisions over the country, but it was only the Tsar not the entire family, the rest were just a bunch of children and a woman, and didn't deserve to die that way, no matter what their relatives did. That was just fanatism at its best. They also don't deserve to be treated as saints, they weren't ... just more fanatism.
WHAT A BRILLANT ANSWER THAT WOMAN AND A BUNCH OF CHILDREN HAPPENED TO BE MY GREAT GRAN AND GREAT GREAT GRANDMA
The trouble with leaving even the kids alive is that it would have inevitably led to bloody rebellions fought in the name of putting them back on the throne.

@@erozionzeall6371 🌶🌶🌶💩
The Romanovs came to a sad and undeserved end. However, from my reading I believe Nicholas II brought the misery that resulted in revolution and dethroning on himself and his family. He was ill-suited to be tsar. He was generally unaware of social currents that were evolving in his country, and oblivious to the inevitability of change from the 300 year tsarist authoritarian model of government. He allowed himself to became distracted and was absorbed with small things when huge issues were looming. His decision to take military command of Russian forces in World War I was disastrous.
He didn’t bring misery the jewish communists killed him
You got it perfectly! He was a poor ruler, and so was his wife Alexandra. Sadly, their advisors were a big part of the disaster. Already disconnected from the reality, it went worse as Rasputin showed up. But it is sure that, despite their terrible political deeds, they were very kind-hearted humans and not just some megalomaniac tyrants.
one of the saddest story in history.
Why India can't be a empire(raj) again and be friends with other kingdoms, empires all around the world.

just another story of monarchs being overthrown
lmaooooo this is nothing compared to other stories in history. Nicholas got wat was coming to him, the only people you can feel bad for in this are the kids
Their story is like a real life grimms storytale. They look like the fairytale family. But their fall from power and ending is a horror show.
This is so sad! How terrified they all must have been and how helpless they all felt! Disgusting!!
Just imagine... The soldiers are trying to shoot the Romanov Family, the Tsars, the rulers of All Russia and they just won't die easily. They were considered demi gods and worshipped so just imagine how baffled and shocked the guards would be that they weren't dying and maybe horrified because what if they were *actually* gods?!
And then the find the jewels and it all makes sense

Im sorryfor the tragedy they suffered at the end of their lives. No one should have such a horrible death, however I disagree with the saying that “they sacrifice their lives for the people of Russia”. While the Russian are suffering these royal family were still throwing lavish royal parties and continuing on with their lives as if nothing was going on...
Nicholas and Alexandra were decidedly NOT throwing such lavish parties --- their relatives were.
As if nothing we’re going on? Read Nicholas and Alexandria. The Romanovs were good.

just watched *THE LAST CZARS* and the curosity brought me here :)
I literally just read a whole wikipedia page of the Romanovs and now it's on my recommendation
I read many articles and stories about the last days of this tragic family and they all mention different details I think nobody knows what happened exactly
We know one thing and that’s the “Bolsheviks” weren’t Russians and after they took over tens of millions of Russians were executed and starved to death
They did not sacrifice themselves for Russia, their loyal retainers did.
It was for Russia.

@@NoAimLoser2 Nothing is wrong with Jews but people will still blame everything on them because they refused to die in history many times which is what anti semites want.

Their fate reminds me of what happened to louis xvi and his family too
They never cease to amaze me at just how Christ-like they were in their sufferings and their last weeks and days. The amount of faith and spirituality they had is stunning.
They did not suffer! The people of Russia suffered. They deserved all they got!
@@colinlyne8688 They didn't suffer, of course they didn't.
I don't think getting oppressed, harassed on a train and having to sit through a horrible and terribly executed execution of 30 minutes counts as suffering.
Communism killed more Russians than the Romanovs did, and the Bolsheviks were directly involved and knew what they were doing, the Tsar may not have, there are multiple instances of which he is blamed to have been responsible but he was not even there.
@@colinlyne8688 I would not trust you around my children.
Thanks for the documentary
Discovering this family and their story changed my life forever. I can't believe it'll soon be 100 years since they were killed. They did not deserve to die the way they did.
I think they are planning on burying Maria/Anastasia and Alexei on the 17th. Hope the kids get laid to rest with the rest of their family, they've been separated far too long.
I agree
Where is their grave right now? Were all of their bodies ever recovered? The 7 of the family members? And were they ever burried well?
@@jamiemohan2049 are the 7of them laid to rest together or not yet?
Nicholas and his wife deserved it , but the kids i agree they did nothing
I am indonesian.. I always like videos from NatGeo.. 👍
This video has its facts mixed up. Nicholas II was not overthrown by the Bolsheviks. Nicholas abdicated in March 1917. The Bolsheviks did not come to power until November 1917. When Nicholas and his family were killed, the 300-year reign of the Romanovs had come to an end more than a year before. Frankly, I would expect better of the National Geographic Society.
Notice all faces are looking sad. Mother is so beautiful.
Sure. Tens of thousands of people, who were executed, sent to die in Siberia, tortured to death by the secret police of Nikolai looked much more joyful. End of Romanovs came a century too late. Hateful tyrants.
I wish this was longer.

Very very sad story in history :'( RIP Romanovs
The Romanov kids didn't deserved that horrible fate...
Aaaa and that's where comes the tale of Anastasia, the animated movie
Sort of
Yup
Good movie
Nicholas was a weak, ineffective leader who was influenced by the insane ramblings of his wife. He could have prevented the revolution if only he looked around him and took action, but he failed to do so, spending his time instead building palaces and playing games.
yes, people fail to see that his wife was a highly emotional person, with a higl level of arrogance and me, me attitude ... he was weak and by having that sort of wife made him even more vulnerable, in a way I feel sorry for him.
What was he supposed to do? The media already consumed the masses and convinced them at the royals were bad. If you have no one to believe in you or follow you, then you're overthrown.
@@taokuoh6805 Nicholas was an _AUTOCRAT,_ he had complete and total power over absolutely everything, including the press, which he heavily censored. He refused to take stock of the fact that the average Russian starved for the better part of the year, and he listened to fools and religious mystics and isolated himself in his palaces. As a result of his weakness, tens of millions of people died, including his own children.
@@monkeygraborange No Bolsheviks caused all that. Russia was one of the most respected countries at the time. And the population of Russia was fine. You can see the difference in old footage from Tsar era and Stalin era. 50 million died, raped and even ate each other. None of that under Tsar.
Yes with the anniversary they seem to be deifying the Romanovs.....he refused to yield any power and lost it all. People revolt for a reason...
It’s very sad. I heard a first person account t the other day by one of the executioners. He stated it took almost 30min to kill them cause the soldiers got scared and just closed their eyes and blindly shot often missing their target. The girls had so many jewels in their underwear that it bounced bullets back. The son sat in his chair witnessing the whole thing and was one of the last to be shot. The girls were wounded and still alive and screaming as they were stabbed to death with the bayonets… he said one or two still made a noise even as they were being dragged out of the room. I guess the plan was each soldier was given a specific person to target and told to aim at the heart. They hoped it would be quick, painless and efficient.
‘’Нећете ми замерити, господо, што сам пре свега Рус и што су ми најближи интереси Русије, али вас уверавам да сам одмах после тога Србин и да су ми најближи интереси српског народа… Заслуге Србије биће стоструко награђене. После рата она ће бити неколико пута већа него што је данас!’’.
Цар Николај Романов
Nikada to nije rekao. Ne postoji ni jedan dokaz da je to ikada rekao, niti o tome znaju ruski ili bilo koji drugi istoričari. To je mit koji postoji samo ovde, rusofilska izmišljotina. U politici ne postoje prijatelji, samo interesi. A njega nije bilo briga ni za Ruse a kamoli Srbe.
I feel really bad for their children. What did these kid even do to people?
Bolsheviks were ruled by ruthless draconic jews.
Idk why but when I think of Nicholas ll I think he’s the type of guy to have no clue on what’s happening
Lol
To the person who said, one of the girls was still alive in the back of the truck, how do u know for sure? Everything I have ever read, states they were all dead before being driven to the Koptyoki Forestcl, dismembered, dowsed in sulphoric acid and then buried in two unmarked graves
No way could any of them been alive in the truck after what happened
Gosh no one ever deserves to die that way... how could human beings ever do that?? Unless the devil is already in them they could!
That is how they died? I thought they were shot only then burried This death was so brutal for them. How can their souls rest in peace after that kind of death. I hope they are resting in peace now. This is so heartbreaking.
That was me. It was based on the fact one girl was said to have still been moving after been beaton over the head with the end of a rifle and placed in the truck. Some investigators state two girls (Maria and Anastasia), left the cellar mortally wounded and died of their wounds. They beat the girls till they stopped screaming, not till they were dead. I believe the girl who sat up screaming to be Maria. The fragments found in 2007/8 was found with 3 bullets. It is known Alexei was shot twice, I believe the other bullet was lodged into Anastasias head and killed her. Maria's body (found in 1991), shows no bullet to the head but the thigh and that she was beaton around the head. I believe Maria to be the body found in 1991 mainly cause facial reconstruction on beaton skulls is not effective nor is facial reconstruction even that accurate. The bodies injuries fit the account of Maria's death and seem to be her height too. Maria's cause of death is unknown, likely bled to death or died from blood forced trauma. She the only ones whose injuries would not have killed her fast. Yurovsky and Ermokov do mention that one of the girls was mortally wounded and they gave up tryna kill her. Also they all were dead when they were buried in the two seperate graves. The family were initially buried elsewhere in a mine, they were dowsed in acid and dumped in seperate grave 1 or 2 days after their assassination. All were dead when they reached the mine. None of the family were alive when they were disposed of both times. The accounts varied or changes based on the documentary for effect. Documentaries investigating their homicides usually mention how 1 or 2 of the girls left the cellar alive but just barely. There are also some accounts which say Alexei was killed last which is not true at all. The 1st and 2nd account of many of the assassins appears to be similiar and also appears accurate based on the injuries of the remains found in 1991. Later on the accounts change. With some saying Nicholas was shot in the head (inaccurate), that all the girls were shot in the head (inaccurate), that some of the girls were stabbed in the face (innacurate).
but to worship them as Saints???? Thats a bit too much....how can the russian orthodox church justify THAT???
They don't know the Gospel, same as the catholic "church"
There is no worship of the Saints. Veneration is completely different
@Anthony Joseph they arent ignored
But hidden
Devotion not worship
This is what happens when a (possibly) american "non-denominational" christian try to comment something about orthodoxy and catholicism.
Tzar Nicolas or his family were not tyrants or incompetent, they were a very loving family, they care very much for the less fortunate, during WWI the oldest daughters and Empress Alexandra were doing their very best to help soldiers who were hurt or became invalid in the war. You can find thousands of pictures of them taking care of soldiers, a little bit later before Tzar Nickolas abdicated both younger daughters did also joint their mother helping soldiers. Even the young heir Alexis was doing so. They gave a lot of their earnings to do so. They were at the time the richest people on Earth, land wise they had 1/3 of the population under them. They were not at all what it was made them be, they live a very family life. They did not have a huge opulent life, yes they had money, but most of it was given back to the less fortunate than they were. If you have a chance to read about them, please do you will realize they were not bad people. They prefer living in the Alexander Palace because it was a smaller more family-like Palace. Not similar at all to the many Palaces they own in St-Petersburg. I am not saying they were perfect, but what was done to them was brought by many other factors due to political venues. Alexei was a hemophiliac which at the time was a deadly disease. You can't go back and judge them on today's standards, and if you look at what happened to Russia after the Royalties were abolished well you can't help wondering if it was good or bad. Thinking of Lenin, Staline, and all those who followed them, think also what they did in Germany with the wall in Berlin? Who was best or worse history-wise. I can't help thinking, yes they did fine in doing a revolution in Russia, yet thinking really, was it? I do not think a Royal system should have been good for Russia then, but maybe, and I do mean maybe something similar to the Uk type of Royalties. But history may and can not go back in time to correct its own past, doesn't it?
was killed by jews, as per usual
Boa, o único erro é que quem na vdd pediu o muro se Berlim foi o "presidente" da Alemanha Oriental, até então, Stalin não tinha a menor objeção em construí um muro

What about all those poor people who died of hunger, famine, poverty during the rein of the romanovs... the romanovs family died, it is sad, but don’t forget about thousand of poor people who died to. Is a royal life worth more than a commoner life? No, all humans should be equal.
Yes it is
Equality isn’t possible because of human nature . We all naturally look up to other people and down upon others . Take a look at the Americans . They believe in equality and yet they act as if they are better than everybody else .
And what about the people who died of hunger, illness under communism? When there was dispossession, five-year plans ?Yes, Nikolai was a weak ruler, but studying the history of my country, you can see that people lived better than under Lenin. Poor people believed the Bolsheviks in fairy tales about freedom, and as a result received communism, in which every word you said would lead you to be shot.
This is very sad. The sad pages of my country's history
Olya Nikiforova wrong. They lived better under Lenin than Nikolai. You know why? Because Lenin wasn’t a dictator and listened to the people.
Not saying royals are more important. But they have to be taken cared of. Caring for royals does not mean we arent caring for the poor people too... We care for anyone as long as they are a human being with a soul, life should be fair for all and no one deserves to die that way
Hi! I like this video🙂👍👏
They weren’t enlightened rulers, let’s put it that way. That does not, of course, justify the murders.

What happened to them was tragic but they were no martyrs. Exactly what were they martyred for if you care to share? Lavish spending while the masses suffered in hunger and poverty??

In 1896, Czar Nikolas II made his coronation open to the public and offered as a little present a small bundle of food, like some bread, sausage, gingerbread and a souvenir cup. So many starving masses gathered that many people died because of the stampede and the Czar's guards who had to stop the mob. There were 1282 bodies recovered and up to 20.000 injured Although it was well known by the evening, the Czar acted as usual, attended a ball the same day and only wrote in his diary that the crowd was cheering. This was czarist Russia, and I don't like people beautifying this horrible past because they hated what followed. The Czar was not much better than Stalin. The Czar was a martyr but no saint.
