I don't think so. Too many basic storic mistakes, wrongly attributed pictures and fairytales about Catherine The Great. Interesting to watch, but still it's just a Russian propaganda (as the whole YT channel).
I'm serious here .. Does anyone else just fall asleep watching other documentaries and wake up to this nearly every time? I've never actually watched these before but RUclips would definitely say otherwise...
It's true! I woke up to this one at 2am and am enthralled watching it. What a treat this documentary is! So well done. Thank you. This should be a part of History in all schools.
Bro, i fall asleep watching paranormal shit and wake up to this crap. so random. this and shit about rome and egypt. idk youtube wants me to learn shit in my sleep i guess.
I have watched this about a dozen times and I just can’t stop. It’s visually appealing, and so well narrated that you don’t even need to watch it to keep up with it.
Superb production and narration. I just finished watching both episodes. I will certainly rewatch, most probably more than once. I can very accurately say I was almost fully ignorant of pre cursed-Bolshevik revolution Russian history. Eye opening. Hopefully, the nation can finally get over this very dark past. I personally can’t get over the Romanovs beyond cruel executions, but it’s been more than a century, God take mercy on this once glorious nation. Have always loved and admired their literary giants - have read Maxim Gorky, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy starting in my early childhood but had no idea that Russia had ever reached such sophistication, might and wealth before the revolt. This documentary cemented my abhorrence of revolutions and revolutionaries.
@@girumzemichael704 Everything was not so unambiguous, do not hate the revolutionaries, of course they made a revolution on German money, and Lenin himself was a traitor, but the white movement was guided by intervention, England and France actively took part in the collapse of our country, and the people, on the both sides were for Russia. Ordinary people sided with the revolution because they were tired, they worked day after day, there was not enough food, husbands were taken to the front, to fight for other countries, Nicholas 2 made a big mistake by entering World War 1. And the nobility didn't live very badly at that time. That's why people wanted equality. The revolution was necessary then, but in a different format. You can watch the series walking on agony from old media, very good.
Am I the only one who thinks it would be great for StarMediaEN to do a similar series on the Hohenzollerns of Germany, the Hapsburgs of Austria, and the Braganzas of Portugal?
Many moons ago, I worked at a university, and believe it or not my job was to type up the lecture notes for the Russian history prof for her lectures. Minute by minute, hour by hour I typed up all her long and what I thought were boring Russian history lectures. THEN, I watched these 8 episodes. Now I was sitting up, right there in the front row lapping up this information like a lap dog. I couldn't get enough. What a brilliant piece of work you have put together here. (applause) and the Oscar goes to ....
I watched all of them in a row twice. Once last year and again today. Their history was amazing to listen to, but so sad at the end. I hate what they did to the imperial family. It's sickening to think about.
Such an enthralling program. I watched over 6 hours of Russian history over 2 days. Its brilliantly narrated, the story was told in a simple and easy manner. The music at the end of each episode is so captivating. Thank you for this beautiful series. Russian history is awesome.
I knew nothing about The Romanovs but now I feel like I know everything lol very easy to follow and understand the history! Well done to the show writers!
Это не русская династия! Это романо-немецкая династия, которая оккупировала Россию на 300 лет!! Наш последний русский царь был - Великий Иван 4! Именно он создал Русское государство!
I live in the U.S. and I find this very interesting. I'm not college educated person and thank whoever uploaded this. It's nice to learn about others histories and struggles.
You definitely don’t need to be college educated to be well read in a variety of subjects. I happen to have a college degree and unless you are getting a degree/masters/doctorate, you most likely wouldn’t take a class about European History. I personally have always been interested in history of any kind and both read and watch. A personal favorite book is an “autobiography” of Henry VIII written by Margaret George. There is even an audiobook on Kindle. I highly recommend it!
I went to college but european history was not something I had in college. Something I've done on my own as I've gotten older and more mature I imagine. Just finished 9 month obsession of WWII which was amazing. I couldn't stop now here I am..hahaha. I find history of all types fascinating. I suppose I have time to delve into things more now that my kid has left for college and I'm on my own.
Thanks Star Media for a brilliant almost 7 hours documentary narration that covers all the shadows of the Russian history during the 300 years of the dynasty of Romanov.
historically informative and entertaining series on the romanov dynasty. I have watched this more than once and learn something new about russian history every time I watch it. One of the most comphrehensive series on the Romanovs posted. Many thanks!
7 hours of pure perfection, I loved every second of this series. Growing up all I ever learned was how evil Russia is and never how great it once was, and more-so how recently this change actually happened.
Well I enjoyed it too but I can’t say the rulers were great. Russia doesn’t change. Might is right was the creed of the Tsars. Cruelty and terror, murder and assassination win the day
@@jeremyparsons4940 Yes that's true, though that is sort of true of most empires I feel like. You can't really have a monarchy without oppression and tyranny of some sort.
This is an amazing documentary. I have friends from Russia and I appreciate their rich history. I've been virtually around the world during covid. This series is the best documentary I've seen on RUclips.
@@ikmoethelemaalniks1716 why are you so upset for my friend.???.you show me that you care because you're getting awful agitated about the subject..... But thank you for your reply back.
And kudos to the Russian filmmakers who obviously created this series. It's so much better than anything that would ever have been done here in the United States, it's ridiculous.
I have always since childhood had a peaked and passing interest in the Romanovs, studying all the theories, books, dynastic origins, members, and documentaries about them.
Holy smokes this documentary is GREAT.. like the old school tlc, previous generation history channel docs.. good visuals, acting, narrator.. keeps ppl interested.. better than the current gen docs.. keep it up!
If Americans made it, there would be flashes, pans, blurs, jump cuts, camera shakes, expert interviews with simple soundbytes and a narrator that sounds like the 1990's movie trailer voicover guy.
So perfectly written. The contrast and flow of historical fact and personal biography blend together in a way that keeps the listener locked into a calming arrest. With the rhythm of the narrator it almost has an iambic pentameter flow of Shakespeare's prose but far easier to listen to...brilliantly researched/ written/ presented. Kudos
I'm blown away . This historical account of the Romanovs was intriguing. The family lineage, the ascent to power within the various lineages, the stories of the personal lives of the ruling elite... the battles, the conquests, the defeats.. the power, the modernization .. all of it... mind blowing. Incredible. I definitely want to go to Russia now. I am so excited to see this place.
I actually 99% of the time fall asleep watching them! That's why I love them.....the right narrator voice is calming. This is also why I literally watch these in segments to actually view the contents!
This documentary is great for education, much better than the school books here in Finland. It's always better to also show the human side of great leaders, than just list their achievements in the corner of a page for you to memorize. It makes them feel more real and relatable in your mind. And it's almost impossible to learn about Russian history via Western media, since it's only interested in the Soviet era of Russia (which is interesting too, but it's only a part of the bigger picture).
Yes, I've noticed; the DC money grubbers are all stuck in "USSR is BAD" mode. When in actuality it was CIA contributing to the "stir constantly when boiling" - keeping "ish" stirred up from the end of WW2 up until the collapse of USSR in 1992/93. THAT'S roughly 50 years. Why are they still stuck in the RUSSIA is BAD" mode? Because the threat of a nuclear exchange keeps MONEY funneling into government, M-I-C and defense contractors, and investors' bank accounts. They've been RUSSIA again for 30 years and are not the backward, illiterate, "joke-y" country that our ELITES would have US believe. Ukraine bad corruption. Poland has the Expansionist Dreams. The Baltic would prefer a return to the Prussian ways. And Germany is a huge instigator of all that is happening at present. Putin seems patient, deliberate in the UKR situation...but I believe that RU wins this one, while America is completely unprepared for their own coming collapse. Just my two cents...
As you should, it has always been despicable to me how the Bolsheviks did that cowardly execution. I'm an egalitarian and I have socialist leanings...but that was just terrible. The story of Rasputin is also a romantic example of how awful people can be when they think they are justified using their social network to hurt others. That's cronyism and I hate it too.
Yes! Poor Nicolas. He hadn't wanted the job and his father was heavy handed and didn't teach him the rules of governing. Nicky's courtesans lied to him about his people, that they loved him and they were living well when the people had nothing. It is a great example of how too much wealth in the hands of few leads to revolution. Much like what is happening in America today.
I always felt very sad that they murdered Tsar Nicholas II and his wife and his daughters and son as well as Alexis' doctors and their servants on Sunday July 27, 1917. Rest in peace
Well that was by far one of the BEST documentaries on modern Soviet History and I couldn't believe that 3 1/2 hours went by! Absolutely brilliant in it's production and the amount of history that it covered. A MUST for every Westerner to watch, oh heck, a must for ANYONE to watch! Thanks so much for the upload!
The Soviets are the one that took over AFTER this point in time. They are hardly mentioned here. Russian history is not "Soviet" history. Soviet Union and "Soviet" history is between 1922 and 1991, if one exclude their rise to power type story.
I don't know what it was about this video, I would never normally sit and watch this but I immediately was sucked in.. I just sat and watched over 3 hours of a history program?! that is history in itself! done so well!! the narration was perfect, the illustrations and the music... perfect! well done!
Wonderful study of Catherine the Great. Thank you. My recollection of Her Majesty was about her libido. Had no knowledge of her accomplishments and rule. She deserves her titles. Thank you
Standard 2 hour movie at the theater: I’m fidgeting and squirming around like an unruly toddler by the end. 3 1/2 hour documentary about Russian rulers: Glued to the damn screen the entire time... *Bravo!* This was a very well made and fascinating series!
The Star media here did a great documentary series about Eastern front of the WWII, as well. My personal favorite is a anecdote of field mice as allied against German tank division. On YT used to be English dubbed version, this one is Russian but with subtitle available: ruclips.net/video/YMHH6XwvtN4/видео.html
I'm glad this wasn't available when I was in high school. I would have majored in history in college and would have been very poor. I loved every minute of this!
📽 This series is totally bingeworthy. 👌 This way better than any history class in school! If history lessons were taught with this captivating narrative and research told well, I reckon the whole class would get A's. 🙌
I must have had RUclips on autoplay and woke up middle of night to this. I was transfixed and had learned so much by morning :) I LOVE LOVE the production quality of this and will rewatch; the visuals, the statistics, maps when appropriate. The details of Romanov family life were great. That train wreck was crazy (!) how did the family survive it. I’ve studied history in dry university classrooms where no maps or visuals were used, a chalkboard with endless lists of terms, are u kidding me? This is how we learn.
I was dreaming about Russian history and when I woke up RUclips was playing this in my ear. I had to start it again because my dream was amazing and fascinating. Now I can’t stop watching. So good.
I am glad it happened to me. Thank you very much. I appreciate this. I am half French Canadian and half American. I know the history of America 🇺🇸 but how about the history 🤔 of Canada 🇨🇦 and France 🇫🇷 please 🙏?
Wow!! What a totally gripping, dramatic and historically educational documetary!! One of the best documentaries I have seen!! Was on the edge of my seat many times and learned so much!! Thank you!
WOW, I like many others woke up in the middle of the night to this fabulous documentary while watching a crime series...thank you for sharing this with us!
I've watched documentaries about the Romanovs but none ever compared to this one. I am now more obsessed than ever in the Romanovs' history. It's also amazing how the Dynasty started with an Anastasia (Ivan the Terrible's first wife) and also ended with an Anastasia (Nicholas I's daughter) in it, damn crazy coincidence.
What's better is that Michael Romanov ordered his 1st execution to be at the Ipatiev Monastery, and the last Romanovs were executed at Ipatiev Residence 305 years later.
Absolutely superb series - I was completely absorbed by the narrative and the fantastic re-enactments. Thank you so much for uploading in English. Best documentary series I have seen in a long time.
I feel much obliged to congratulate the producers of this series. The quality of the scenes, the uniforms are excellent. Most of all the background sound is well in the background not like the modern rush-produced senseless films where the background sound drowns the narrator's words. I am glad that there still exist people willing to spend money on perfect productions. Perhaps someone in Netflix will see this comment. It does not all have to be sex on the kitchen table in scene1! A million times over thank you.

Such a treat! Great historical documentary! Maybe the best one I've ever seen actually. Such a well done and informative historical account of The Romanov Dynasty! I watch historical documentaries most of the time, and this is one of my top choices! Even though I've seen it bunches, I continue to soak in new information! Also, the narrator's voice is very calming, making this a perfect documentary to leave on while sleeping! I love the Russian Tsar (and Especially Romanov) history! There is nothing quite as exciting and sad to me as their story! RIP to The Russian Martyr Saints Nicolas, Alexandra, Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia and Alexi Romanov!
It Is an excellent documentary of Russian history, which is often so rare and controversial no thanks to the disgusting murderous red socialist shame stain of the soviet era.
@@Blue-r4b thank you! That is one of my favorites! I have an amazing, huge Playlist on here, i believe entitled "History Playlist" that has over 1200 docs on it. I believe its public, check it out! Thanks for this. I literally live for documentaries such as "Elizabeth - The Golden Era" ♥️🙏
Brilliant account told in a clear way ... top marks ... like others I woke up to this after having fallen asleep with auto play on and my earphones in. Continued to watch it after having woken up as the narrator's voice was so soothing.
Ditto!!!! I need my bluetooth nightly! I was on " That Chapter" ( if you are into true crime I suggest that channel ) and I guess I bumped it out of the playlist and woke up to this lil gem! I had to come back and listen to it from the beginning
oh yeah liberate the bulgarians from the Turkish yoke to place them firmly under the Russian yoke lmfao man stop it its Russian state propaganda at least its mostly accurate with some Russian liberties added I guess any nation would it would be like an American history documentary never mentioning the slaugter of the native population I mean how they civilized the locals lol
@@atakorkut5110 there was no slaughter of local population...as you can see all native tribes still live in Russia and have their own land to which no Russian or forigner is allowed without permission...
I have found all of these beautifully done and very interesting. It has answered many questions I've had about Russian and European history. Americans were never taught much history other than their own, so I have truly enjoyed these and thank Timeline/Star Media for doing a magnificent job. They should be very proud of their work.✨
What school did you go to? I went to school in Virginia. We had a world history class and an American history class. I was taught both I think it just depends on the state.
@@personofearth5076 Exactly bro, but Russia rised from the ashes...and will help Germany to rize again for the sake of future free Europe and free World.
@@rbfbrown7207 the natural pigments used for painting were covered with a resin varnish that oxidised and got covered with dust over time. As a result, you can see a 10 skin tones difference on restoration videos, when such orthodox painted wooden panels eventually do get professionally restored.
Thank you StarMediaEN: Great narration. Recently meeting my cousins in Europe they totally guilted me into learning more about world history. I'm trying, but where to begin???
I love history. This is the best documentary on the Romanov's. I wonder if Nicholas II weren't Czar if the Romanov dynasty would have continued. History does offer someone an chance to imagine what might have happened if there had been a different Czar.
Maybe, but probably not. They all believed more or less that czarist autocracy was the order of God, and resisted any dilution of their powers. Prince Michael, Nicholas's younger brother and heir presumptive (after Alexei) was brighter, but "gullible and naive". He wasn't the person to pull Russia into the 20th century. This documentary doesn't say much about the conditions of the common people, but overall they were horrendous, as bad as 18th century France. And Russian industry and infrastructure was stuck in the 18th century too, although it was starting to attract foreign investment -- where the workers were treated like slaves. And the Duma was simply a "talk shop", because the czar could ignore it at his whim. And then there was World War I....
@@floraposteschild4184 Alexander didn't resist the dilution of power. He was working on creating a Parliamentary system when the socialists murdered him. Yeah, things were bad for some but changes don't happen over night, and the more that man gave them mercy, the more they hated him. Russia would have been better off if the revolution had been put down mercilessly. The rise of Communism only robbed the former serfs who managed to build successful farms and cottage industries of their lives through artificial famine and persecution. You'll notice that a lot of the revolutionaries were not in fact the working class they claimed they cared for, but lower nobility and intellectual types who really just wanted to seize power and fortune through theft. It's much like the leftists of today who use socialist and communist rhetoric to excuse their own failures while living comfortable latte liberal lives.
I am grateful for this wonderful production. I am both learning and entertained. I am doubly glad in these fractious and threatening months in American history to be distracted.
This series is very relevant with events going on in the with EU support of Ukraine. Where Ukraine claims that it was never a part of Russia despite the Russian speaking populace, it became part of Russia in Empress Catherine the Great reign. It was ruled by the Turks and captured by Catherine the Great. This explained the looks of many of the people with beautiful Turkish mixed DNA, with Russian language tongue. Now, I understand on Putin's displeasure when Kiev's Zelensky wants Ukraine to be part of EU and allow NATO to be on Russia's border. And did not allow Russia to use the port to be used to transport Oil and Gas to Europe. With this historical facts, Catherine the Great's lover won thiese countries including Ukraine as part of Russia...from 1700 till the end of USSR to the Democratic Russia with a strong leader like an Emperor of Russia's past...Putin. Thank you for this beautiful historical series.

Beautiful documentaries. Smashing series. Losing my abysmal ignorance of a subject has never been so painless. Or so free. Congratulations and much thanks - for the production and for its upload. Cheers! (That's Canadian, not British.)
It truly is wonderful. I was transported to another time and place. I think I've fallen in love with Russia. This may not be completely accurate as others point out but what a marvellous country it would be to visit.
When I was a kid I asked my mother when the war started she said " When Christ was a corporal ". Then I asked her when it would end and she said " When hell freezes over ". My mother was very wise.
To the creators of this documentary thank you for making this. It's history that sometimes feels like its overlooked when people research the Romanovs. They were probably the most influential European royal family in history next to the Windsors. May they all rest easy knowing that Soviets collapsed and God and the Russian people prevailed. ☦️☦️☦️ Although, I have some minor issues for the ending surrounding Nicholas II I feel like a lot was overlooked in his reign that I felt should be brought up. He and Alexandra were avid cocaine users. None of the families charitable organizations were brought up. Nor was Nicholas II's schedule. I'm surprised no one brought up the fake Anastasia either. Regardless 9/10 freaking incredible documentary guys!!!
@@penelopemace7440 And they got replaced by a handful of genocidal and megalomaniac randoms who killed around 20 million of their own people and permanently retarded the growth of Russia. I'm pretty sure if you went back in time to 1900's Russia, and you showed the average Russain subject a history book, and you told him to choose between the Bolsheviks and Royal Family, they'd likey choose the ladder.
I'm Russian. I've never heard about what you've said. Something close to it is only rumors about Alexandra being a German spy, drugging Nicholas and talking on the phone with Germans in her bedroom. But then again, Its most likely just a madeup story Bolsheviks used to promote the revolution.
I fell asleep and when I woke up, I was listening to this. I watched raptly for the entire time, and learned much. Best accident ever. Here in the West, Russians and their history were villanised, they were painted as abnormal, vicious, untrustworthy. I never truly believed it, and put it down to political machinations as the source. I have been enthralled by this sensitive, detailed account of the lives of Russian monarchy. There is great nobility and humanity in this account, and I have greatly enjoyed it. Now I wonder why there was any stigma taught to me at all. A very disturbing thought. There is enough evil in the world without adding hate to children's mind as they develop. People are people, and all the same, no matter where they are from or their cultural background. Why do our establishments insist on brainwashing us as kids?
The cold War and communism were very real and scary. Every country has done terrible things, but Russia was our country's only enemy that was truly feared. I'm just saying, try to look at the US history as objectively as you are Russia. I've watched multiple Russian documentaries and this one skims over a lot of nasty things that happened.
Thing is, many people who lived through the existential horror of the Cold War are still alive and many are in government or media related jobs and positions. Plus the Communists did a pretty good job at coloring the Imperial era as evil times run by evil people and themselves were obviously very evil (a government supposedly created to improve the lives of the working class caused the deaths of between 4 and 10 million of its own, working class people via the Holodomor). So it's no surprise that most in the West see Russia as vicious and/or untrustworthy. There is, of course, those like me who can see through the narrative but I also don't blame people from feeling the other way either.
@@thecouchpotatocom America has invaded other countries and done a lot of harm to the ordinary people of those countries . They’ve robbed pilfered and stolen the wealth from these countries and still are . But they pretend they are helping the people . Britain did and does the same (. So did other Western countries) . We don’t learn that at school . We only learn how wonderful our countries are and not the atrocities they’ve committed .Whether you do something brutally with a smile or boldly , it’s the same thing . History is often warped and lied about but when the countries that have been wronged speak up, then we learn the truth .
Absolutely fantastic documentary. I binge watched all 8 episodes and it had me on the edge of my seat.... The end was so sad but I am somewhat familiar with the Romanov story so I knew it was coming.....
The end wasn't sad. This documentary tells mostly from the side of the Romanovs, not the Russian masses. There's a reason there was so much revolt and assassinations. The Russian Revolution brought in huge benefits for the people of Russia and despite Stalins counter revolution Russia was never again to suffer from the woes of tsarist regime. Good riddance to the Romanovs.
A brilliant documentary series! At school in year 10 we were taught Modern European History..I learnt so much about Russian history and the Romanoff's that year that it compelled made me to want to study Russian literature later in life..

this and shit about rome and egypt. idk youtube wants me to learn shit in my sleep i guess.
@@harmmoney3397 try watching it for a while, you just might enjoy it 😉
I was literally watching true crime, how did I get here?
I have watched this about a dozen times and I just can’t stop. It’s visually appealing, and so well narrated that you don’t even need to watch it to keep up with it.
Superb production and narration. I just finished watching both episodes. I will certainly rewatch, most probably more than once. I can very accurately say I was almost fully ignorant of pre cursed-Bolshevik revolution Russian history. Eye opening. Hopefully, the nation can finally get over this very dark past. I personally can’t get over the Romanovs beyond cruel executions, but it’s been more than a century, God take mercy on this once glorious nation. Have always loved and admired their literary giants - have read Maxim Gorky, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy starting in my early childhood but had no idea that Russia had ever reached such sophistication, might and wealth before the revolt. This documentary cemented my abhorrence of revolutions and revolutionaries.
Yes I have too, rewatched this so many times, the production is just amazing, so well done and narration is superb.
@@girumzemichael704 Everything was not so unambiguous, do not hate the revolutionaries, of course they made a revolution on German money, and Lenin himself was a traitor, but the white movement was guided by intervention, England and France actively took part in the collapse of our country, and the people, on the both sides were for Russia. Ordinary people sided with the revolution because they were tired, they worked day after day, there was not enough food, husbands were taken to the front, to fight for other countries, Nicholas 2 made a big mistake by entering World War 1. And the nobility didn't live very badly at that time. That's why people wanted equality. The revolution was necessary then, but in a different format. You can watch the series walking on agony from old media, very good.
I hope to watcch it again soon. A very charming, intelligent, documentary series.
best documentary ive ever seen . head and shoulders above!!! ive watched it dozenS o times!!! its in a different class
Am I the only one who thinks it would be great for StarMediaEN to do a similar series on the Hohenzollerns of Germany, the Hapsburgs of Austria, and the Braganzas of Portugal?
I think they should be given Hollywood funding because they're very talented studio
I think Russians made this, and it was narrated by an English man
I accidentally started watching but then I couldn't stop watching. Absolutely fascinating.

I agree. Never thought I'd be so enamored with Russian history.
Many moons ago, I worked at a university, and believe it or not my job was to type up the lecture notes for the Russian history prof for her lectures. Minute by minute, hour by hour I typed up all her long and what I thought were boring Russian history lectures. THEN, I watched these 8 episodes. Now I was sitting up, right there in the front row lapping up this information like a lap dog. I couldn't get enough. What a brilliant piece of work you have put together here. (applause) and the Oscar goes to ....
He's up to Caterin The Great 👍 if we can do that today
Because I sleep and wake up listening to this documentary series I became somewhat fascinated by Russia’s history.
The amount of times I've woken up to RUclips playing a Romanov/Feodorovna documentary is crazy.
Same!! How did I get here???
It's the third time in a couple of months for me too 😱
It's almost every night... today it happened and I haven't even gone to sleep yet! I wonder how many of the TEN MILLION views are mine...
I just woke up and here this video is on again….I really do not remember how many times this has happened--have a great day😀
@M J welp you found me out... expect the hit man in the next 2-4 business weeks 😴🤣
This documentary is absolutely fascinating. I love learning about historical families and their lineage.
How many people watched all 8 episodes straight through besides me. I found it captivating and most interesting.
I watched all of them in a row twice. Once last year and again today. Their history was amazing to listen to, but so sad at the end. I hate what they did to the imperial family. It's sickening to think about.
Yes, amazing documentary ❤
I did watch
I'm in tears. Their humanity was brought out. Even though I know how it ends, the little family in the basement brought me to tears.
Don't read the bible then. The ending is also hard to take.
Such an enthralling program. I watched over 6 hours of Russian history over 2 days. Its brilliantly narrated, the story was told in a simple and easy manner. The music at the end of each episode is so captivating. Thank you for this beautiful series. Russian history is awesome.

Lol i know right?!
@@stanbiel669 -
Brilliant
Yes! Let us not go against Russia due to NATO politics.
I knew nothing about The Romanovs but now I feel like I know everything lol very easy to follow and understand the history! Well done to the show writers!
I have always been interested in Russian History and I really appreciate you having this special on The Russian Dynasty
Это не русская династия! Это романо-немецкая династия, которая оккупировала Россию на 300 лет!! Наш последний русский царь был - Великий Иван 4! Именно он создал Русское государство!
I live in the U.S. and I find this very interesting. I'm not college educated person and thank whoever uploaded this. It's nice to learn about others histories and struggles.
You definitely don’t need to be college educated to be well read in a variety of subjects. I happen to have a college degree and unless you are getting a degree/masters/doctorate, you most likely wouldn’t take a class about European History. I personally have always been interested in history of any kind and both read and watch. A personal favorite book is an “autobiography” of Henry VIII written by Margaret George. There is even an audiobook on Kindle. I highly recommend it!
I went to college but european history was not something I had in college. Something I've done on my own as I've gotten older and more mature I imagine. Just finished 9 month obsession of WWII which was amazing. I couldn't stop now here I am..hahaha. I find history of all types fascinating. I suppose I have time to delve into things more now that my kid has left for college and I'm on my own.

Thanks Star Media for a brilliant almost 7 hours documentary narration that covers all the shadows of the Russian history during the 300 years of the dynasty of Romanov.
I want someone to do this for all histories - so well made.
historically informative and entertaining series on the romanov dynasty. I have watched this more than once and learn something new about russian history every time I watch it. One of the most comphrehensive series on the Romanovs posted. Many thanks!
7 hours of pure perfection, I loved every second of this series. Growing up all I ever learned was how evil Russia is and never how great it once was, and more-so how recently this change actually happened.
I know I can't believe I watched all 7 hours
Well I enjoyed it too but I can’t say the rulers were great. Russia doesn’t change. Might is right was the creed of the Tsars. Cruelty and terror, murder and assassination win the day
@@jeremyparsons4940 Yes that's true, though that is sort of true of most empires I feel like. You can't really have a monarchy without oppression and tyranny of some sort.
I keep waking to this series and never clicked on it
@@madmouthmarv5098 me too! what are you falling asleep to? I'm mostly true crime/mystery sleeper
This is an amazing documentary. I have friends from Russia and I appreciate their rich history. I've been virtually around the world during covid. This series is the best documentary I've seen on RUclips.

And kudos to the Russian filmmakers who obviously created this series. It's so much better than anything that would ever have been done here in the United States, it's ridiculous.
Привет! Есть ли подобные исторические фильмы о Соединенных Штатах?
Yes, there are. One of the very best is "The Civil War" - by Ken Burns. It's about the American Civil War, from 1861 to 1865. You should see it.
A notable exception! I stand corrected. Ken Burns is marvelous.@@maureentopper3741
I have always since childhood had a peaked and passing interest in the Romanovs, studying all the theories, books, dynastic origins, members, and documentaries about them.
Holy smokes this documentary is GREAT.. like the old school tlc, previous generation history channel docs.. good visuals, acting, narrator.. keeps ppl interested.. better than the current gen docs.. keep it up!
If Americans made it, there would be flashes, pans, blurs, jump cuts, camera shakes, expert interviews with simple soundbytes and a narrator that sounds like the 1990's movie trailer voicover guy.
@@ceejay6882 lol, whatever floats your boat chum.. ;)
It s a Russian Doc school, lol
So perfectly written. The contrast and flow of historical fact and personal biography blend together in a way that keeps the listener locked into a calming arrest. With the rhythm of the narrator it almost has an iambic pentameter flow of Shakespeare's prose but far easier to listen to...brilliantly researched/ written/ presented. Kudos
I'm blown away . This historical account of the Romanovs was intriguing. The family lineage, the ascent to power within the various lineages, the stories of the personal lives of the ruling elite... the battles, the conquests, the defeats.. the power, the modernization .. all of it... mind blowing. Incredible. I definitely want to go to Russia now. I am so excited to see this place.
f#$@ Russia
I actually 99% of the time fall asleep watching them! That's why I love them.....the right narrator voice is calming. This is also why I literally watch these in segments to actually view the contents!
Hypnotic and compelling. Once you tune in this masterful programme you shall be unable to turn it off.
This documentary is great for education, much better than the school books here in Finland. It's always better to also show the human side of great leaders, than just list their achievements in the corner of a page for you to memorize. It makes them feel more real and relatable in your mind. And it's almost impossible to learn about Russian history via Western media, since it's only interested in the Soviet era of Russia (which is interesting too, but it's only a part of the bigger picture).
The media is very anti-russian
Yes, I've noticed; the DC money grubbers are all stuck in "USSR is BAD" mode.
When in actuality it was CIA contributing to the
"stir constantly when boiling" - keeping "ish" stirred up from the end of WW2 up until the collapse of USSR in 1992/93. THAT'S roughly 50 years.
Why are they still stuck in the RUSSIA is BAD" mode?
Because the threat of a nuclear exchange keeps MONEY funneling into government, M-I-C and defense contractors, and investors' bank accounts.
They've been RUSSIA again for 30 years and are not the backward, illiterate, "joke-y" country that our ELITES would have US believe.
Ukraine bad corruption.
Poland has the Expansionist Dreams.
The Baltic would prefer a return to the Prussian ways.
And Germany is a huge instigator of all that is happening at present.
Putin seems patient, deliberate in the UKR situation...but I believe that RU wins this one, while America is completely unprepared for their own coming collapse.
Just my two cents...
Нашел где искать историю..🤦🏻♀️😂😂😂 жесть
I fall asleep to these documentaries when the rain sounds don’t work. His voice is soothing to me. Although the damn ads are loud.
AD Block.
LoL I know bloody adverts & they go on & on if you don't skip them :-)
...SKIP TO THE END; THEN HIT THE REPLAY ARROW...USUALLY WORKS!
Excellent documentary from start to finish. One of the finest documentaries with a lot of balance in narration. Thank you
The visuals of the documentary keep you hooked and not boring, one of the best histories of monarchs in the world, I felt sad for the family Nicolas.
didn't end well for the Bourbon's either....
As you should, it has always been despicable to me how the Bolsheviks did that cowardly execution. I'm an egalitarian and I have socialist leanings...but that was just terrible. The story of Rasputin is also a romantic example of how awful people can be when they think they are justified using their social network to hurt others. That's cronyism and I hate it too.
@@frankpienkosky5688 then you may be glad to find they're still alive.
Yes! Poor Nicolas. He hadn't wanted the job and his father was heavy handed and didn't teach him the rules of governing. Nicky's courtesans lied to him about his people, that they loved him and they were living well when the people had nothing. It is a great example of how too much wealth in the hands of few leads to revolution. Much like what is happening in America today.
I always felt very sad that they murdered Tsar Nicholas II and his wife and his daughters and son as well as Alexis' doctors and their servants on Sunday July 27, 1917. Rest in peace
Well that was by far one of the BEST documentaries on modern Soviet History and I couldn't believe that 3 1/2 hours went by!
Absolutely brilliant in it's production and the amount of history that it covered.
A MUST for every Westerner to watch, oh heck, a must for ANYONE to watch!
Thanks so much for the upload!
The Soviets are the one that took over AFTER this point in time. They are hardly mentioned here. Russian history is not "Soviet" history. Soviet Union and "Soviet" history is between 1922 and 1991, if one exclude their rise to power type story.
Idiot follower can not think for yourself
This is the history of Russian Empire.
These documentaries on the romanovs get better and better. Is always something new to learn and discover and listen
Those last words cut deep…Great series. Thank you for educating people and myself of this history.
I don't know what it was about this video, I would never normally sit and watch this but I immediately was sucked in.. I just sat and watched over 3 hours of a history program?! that is history in itself! done so well!! the narration was perfect, the illustrations and the music... perfect! well done!
Wonderful study of Catherine the Great. Thank you. My recollection of Her Majesty was about her libido. Had no knowledge of her accomplishments and rule. She deserves her titles. Thank you
you thought she was called the great because she liked great men?
@@mamutakada She did like “great men”, Jesuits
Standard 2 hour movie at the theater: I’m fidgeting and squirming around like an unruly toddler by the end.

*Bravo!*
This was a very well made and fascinating series!
me to .. great doc... the zar in the end that got killed was a hoe
The Star media here did a great documentary series about Eastern front of the WWII, as well.
My personal favorite is a anecdote of field mice as allied against German tank division. On YT used to be English dubbed version, this one is Russian but with subtitle available:

📽 This series is totally bingeworthy. 👌
This way better than any history class in school! If history lessons were taught with this captivating narrative and research told well, I reckon the whole class would get A's. 🙌
I just said the same thing.
its 5:19am and i've just now finished this. It was well worth not sleeping lol
One of the best documentaries, if not the best, I have ever seen. Such a perfect and fascinating work. It keeps you mesmerized to the screen.
This documentary is captivating. Such amazing story telling and lives these people lived.
I must have had RUclips on autoplay and woke up middle of night to this. I was transfixed and had learned so much by morning :) I LOVE LOVE the production quality of this and will rewatch; the visuals, the statistics, maps when appropriate. The details of Romanov family life were great. That train wreck was crazy (!) how did the family survive it. I’ve studied history in dry university classrooms where no maps or visuals were used, a chalkboard with endless lists of terms, are u kidding me? This is how we learn.
Elise J woke up a 3:30 am to this.... still watching at 5:50 am lol
i strongly agree elise :)
I was dreaming about Russian history and when I woke up RUclips was playing this in my ear. I had to start it again because my dream was amazing and fascinating. Now I can’t stop watching. So good.
Omg that literally just happened to me! I was like wtf lol
I am glad it happened to me. Thank you very much. I appreciate this. I am half French Canadian and half American. I know the history of America 🇺🇸 but how about the history 🤔 of Canada 🇨🇦 and France 🇫🇷 please 🙏?
I love that this documentary also goes into matters of the economy under each Tzar.
I love both Romanovs era and the Soviet era. This makes me want to learn Russian
thank u dear
you should, its one of the most extraordinary languages and there's so much history behind it
Wow!! What a totally gripping, dramatic and historically educational documetary!! One of the best documentaries I have seen!! Was on the edge of my seat many times and learned so much!! Thank you!
WOW, I like many others woke up in the middle of the night to this fabulous documentary while watching a crime series...thank you for sharing this with us!
how bout that sergei salty cough.....
I've watched documentaries about the Romanovs but none ever compared to this one. I am now more obsessed than ever in the Romanovs' history. It's also amazing how the Dynasty started with an Anastasia (Ivan the Terrible's first wife) and also ended with an Anastasia (Nicholas I's daughter) in it, damn crazy coincidence.
Being fair, it's a family that never threw a name away.
I agree. Excellent documentary.
What's better is that Michael Romanov ordered his 1st execution to be at the Ipatiev Monastery, and the last Romanovs were executed at Ipatiev Residence 305 years later.
Nicholas ll's daughter

Great historical documentary! Maybe the best one I've ever seen actually. Such a well done and informative historical account of The Romanov Dynasty!
I watch historical documentaries most of the time, and this is one of my top choices! Even though I've seen it bunches, I continue to soak in new information!
Also, the narrator's voice is very calming, making this a perfect documentary to leave on while sleeping!
I love the Russian Tsar (and Especially Romanov) history!
There is nothing quite as exciting and sad to me as their story! RIP to The Russian Martyr Saints Nicolas, Alexandra, Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia and Alexi Romanov!
It Is an excellent documentary of Russian history, which is often so rare and controversial no thanks to the disgusting murderous red socialist shame stain of the soviet era.

I have found all of these beautifully done and very interesting. It has answered many questions I've had about Russian and European history. Americans were never taught much history other than their own, so I have truly enjoyed these and thank Timeline/Star Media for doing a magnificent job. They should be very proud of their work.✨
I agree and the history we are taught may not even be reality
@@satpics369 it’s often very briefly covered or watered down here in America
@@MochiiBunniie Yea the stuff they leave in the things they teach
**Other Than Their Own Fake History
What school did you go to? I went to school in Virginia. We had a world history class and an American history class. I was taught both I think it just depends on the state.
An amazing production. I hope Star Media has more of this quality!
I am German and I love the Russian culture and people, that's why Im watching this with maximum interest and delight. Thank you so much!
The same people who destroyed Germany also destroyed Russia.

I woke up to this, I was not disappointed, thanks RUclips, and thanks starmedia EN
I was watching something else and all of a sudden this came on. I am glad it did. This is very interesting.
These videos have me captivated, they make history so fun to learn.
Loved it!!!! So interesting... Thanks for sharing.
This series is absolutely outstanding.
One of the best documentaries I have ever watched!

@@rbfbrown7207 we all know why
@@rbfbrown7207 the natural pigments used for painting were covered with a resin varnish that oxidised and got covered with dust over time. As a result, you can see a 10 skin tones difference on restoration videos, when such orthodox painted wooden panels eventually do get professionally restored.
I love this. Can you put on a documentary about Canada 🇨🇦 and France 🇫🇷 too?
Beautiful documantary!👍History is so important. It's so different from what I learned from out of school.
That's nice. Try not to ignore your spell checker.
mmmh... and you're going to believe a british tv documentary... lol i would stick to what i learned in school!;)
Phantastic made, absolutely interesting. 💯
Thank you StarMediaEN: Great narration. Recently meeting my cousins in Europe they totally guilted me into learning more about world history.
I'm trying, but where to begin???
This is a great documentary
No,
This is a great, great documentary.

I love history. This is the best documentary on the Romanov's. I wonder if Nicholas II weren't Czar if the Romanov dynasty would have continued. History does offer someone an chance to imagine what might have happened if there had been a different Czar.
Maybe, but probably not. They all believed more or less that czarist autocracy was the order of God, and resisted any dilution of their powers. Prince Michael, Nicholas's younger brother and heir presumptive (after Alexei) was brighter, but "gullible and naive". He wasn't the person to pull Russia into the 20th century. This documentary doesn't say much about the conditions of the common people, but overall they were horrendous, as bad as 18th century France. And Russian industry and infrastructure was stuck in the 18th century too, although it was starting to attract foreign investment -- where the workers were treated like slaves. And the Duma was simply a "talk shop", because the czar could ignore it at his whim. And then there was World War I....
@@floraposteschild4184 Alexander didn't resist the dilution of power. He was working on creating a Parliamentary system when the socialists murdered him. Yeah, things were bad for some but changes don't happen over night, and the more that man gave them mercy, the more they hated him. Russia would have been better off if the revolution had been put down mercilessly. The rise of Communism only robbed the former serfs who managed to build successful farms and cottage industries of their lives through artificial famine and persecution. You'll notice that a lot of the revolutionaries were not in fact the working class they claimed they cared for, but lower nobility and intellectual types who really just wanted to seize power and fortune through theft. It's much like the leftists of today who use socialist and communist rhetoric to excuse their own failures while living comfortable latte liberal lives.
I am grateful for this wonderful production. I am both learning and entertained. I am doubly glad in these fractious and threatening months in American history to be distracted.
Excellently produced, so captivating, one cannot stop watching. Thank you for making history
come alive!
this is very extensive and very great for learning histories.
This may make students more interested in learning histories, more paying attention.
This series is very relevant with events going on in the with EU support of Ukraine. Where Ukraine claims that it was never a part of Russia despite the Russian speaking populace, it became part of Russia in Empress Catherine the Great reign. It was ruled by the Turks and captured by Catherine the Great. This explained the looks of many of the people with beautiful Turkish mixed DNA, with Russian language tongue. Now, I understand on Putin's displeasure when Kiev's Zelensky wants Ukraine to be part of EU and allow NATO to be on Russia's border. And did not allow Russia to use the port to be used to transport Oil and Gas to Europe. With this historical facts, Catherine the Great's lover won thiese countries including Ukraine as part of Russia...from 1700 till the end of USSR to the Democratic Russia with a strong leader like an Emperor of Russia's past...Putin. Thank you for this beautiful historical series.
Beautifully made documentary. I wouldn't have given this random video a 2ndcthought but it was so enthralling that I couldn't stop watching it.
I fell asleep watching try not to laugh videos and ended up here I’m the morning. Seems interesting

DUDE! SAME HERE WTF?!
It's the calming narration, I often use long videos to help me fall asleep.
I feel compelled to comment on how great of a documentary this was! Definitely binged watched it.
Beautiful documentaries. Smashing series. Losing my abysmal ignorance of a subject has never been so painless. Or so free. Congratulations and much thanks - for the production and for its upload. Cheers! (That's Canadian, not British.)
Incidentally this documentary is par excellence. Hats off to it's creators. Adieu.
I put this on to go to sleep but I'm completely enthralled.
I had no idea there were other people out there putting on documentaries to fall asleep! Thought it was just me
I put it on to sleep too lol love it
@@swalters6720 seems like there’s plenty of us😄
I feel you lol
@@swalters6720 I always fall asleep to a documentary.
The best narrative of history ever. Fascinating.
Wonderful documentary. It has world history, human frailty, and human drama deeper than any soap opera or novella. A wonderful piece..........
It truly is wonderful. I was transported to another time and place. I think I've fallen in love with Russia.
This may not be completely accurate as others point out but what a marvellous country it would
be to visit.
When I was a kid I asked my mother when the war started she said " When Christ was a corporal ". Then I asked her when it would end and she said " When hell freezes over ". My mother was very wise.
Outstanding historical series.Saint Nicholas Romanov and family, Rest in Peace.Thank you for this series.
This is an excellent series, very well done!😎
This is the best documentaries Ive ever seen! Thank you!
Thank you very this documentation.
To the creators of this documentary thank you for making this. It's history that sometimes feels like its overlooked when people research the Romanovs. They were probably the most influential European royal family in history next to the Windsors. May they all rest easy knowing that Soviets collapsed and God and the Russian people prevailed. ☦️☦️☦️
Although, I have some minor issues for the ending surrounding Nicholas II I feel like a lot was overlooked in his reign that I felt should be brought up. He and Alexandra were avid cocaine users. None of the families charitable organizations were brought up. Nor was Nicholas II's schedule. I'm surprised no one brought up the fake Anastasia either. Regardless 9/10 freaking incredible documentary guys!!!
Hilarious - god prevailed ha, like all so called monarchs they were a bunch of inbred blood sucking monsters and got what they deserved
@@penelopemace7440 And they got replaced by a handful of genocidal and megalomaniac randoms who killed around 20 million of their own people and permanently retarded the growth of Russia. I'm pretty sure if you went back in time to 1900's Russia, and you showed the average Russain subject a history book, and you told him to choose between the Bolsheviks and Royal Family, they'd likey choose the ladder.
@@DrMosseeay I doubt it
@@PiXie232 socialism/communism is the worst. I was born in soviet germany and i know how bad it is.
I'm Russian. I've never heard about what you've said. Something close to it is only rumors about Alexandra being a German spy, drugging Nicholas and talking on the phone with Germans in her bedroom. But then again, Its most likely just a madeup story Bolsheviks used to promote the revolution.
Great series.
I fell asleep and when I woke up, I was listening to this. I watched raptly for the entire time, and learned much. Best accident ever. Here in the West, Russians and their history were villanised, they were painted as abnormal, vicious, untrustworthy. I never truly believed it, and put it down to political machinations as the source. I have been enthralled by this sensitive, detailed account of the lives of Russian monarchy. There is great nobility and humanity in this account, and I have greatly enjoyed it. Now I wonder why there was any stigma taught to me at all. A very disturbing thought. There is enough evil in the world without adding hate to children's mind as they develop. People are people, and all the same, no matter where they are from or their cultural background. Why do our establishments insist on brainwashing us as kids?
The cold War and communism were very real and scary. Every country has done terrible things, but Russia was our country's only enemy that was truly feared.
I'm just saying, try to look at the US history as objectively as you are Russia.
I've watched multiple Russian documentaries and this one skims over a lot of nasty things that happened.
Really? I have been reading Russian history since 1986 and I live in the US. I never read that they were anything more than fascinating.
Thing is, many people who lived through the existential horror of the Cold War are still alive and many are in government or media related jobs and positions. Plus the Communists did a pretty good job at coloring the Imperial era as evil times run by evil people and themselves were obviously very evil (a government supposedly created to improve the lives of the working class caused the deaths of between 4 and 10 million of its own, working class people via the Holodomor). So it's no surprise that most in the West see Russia as vicious and/or untrustworthy. There is, of course, those like me who can see through the narrative but I also don't blame people from feeling the other way either.
@@thecouchpotatocom America has invaded other countries and done a lot of harm to the ordinary people of those countries . They’ve robbed pilfered and stolen the wealth from these countries and still are . But they pretend they are helping the people . Britain did and does the same (. So did other Western countries) . We don’t learn that at school . We only learn how wonderful our countries are and not the atrocities they’ve committed .Whether you do something brutally with a smile or boldly , it’s the same thing .
History is often warped and lied about but when the countries that have been wronged speak up, then we learn the truth .
The EXACT same thing just happened to me. I woke up at 2am to this, sat bolt upright, and have been enthralled watching this ever since!
Absolutely fantastic documentary. I binge watched all 8 episodes and it had me on the edge of my seat....
The end was so sad but I am somewhat familiar with the Romanov story so I knew it was coming.....
The end wasn't sad. This documentary tells mostly from the side of the Romanovs, not the Russian masses. There's a reason there was so much revolt and assassinations. The Russian Revolution brought in huge benefits for the people of Russia and despite Stalins counter revolution Russia was never again to suffer from the woes of tsarist regime. Good riddance to the Romanovs.
This documentaries is facinating in all aspects! Thank you STAR MEDIA for this! You brought back history into life! 😍😍😍
Yep fully agree..fascinating
I agree too. It is very fascinating and very very very very very very very interesting too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Both. And start all over again. Fascinated with the Romanovs
So who is here cause they fell asleep with autoplay on?
i just woke up and watched 2 episodes
twice x'D
Haha This Girl😂
Right here and now I'm hooked lol
HAHAHA I did
A brilliant documentary series! At school in year 10 we were taught Modern European History..I learnt so much about Russian history and the Romanoff's that year that it compelled made me to want to study Russian literature later in life..
