In 1613 The Zemsky Sobor (the National Assembly) adopted a decision to invite Michael Fyodorovich Romanov to become tsar of Russia. This decision was announced in Red Square in front of numerous crowds of people: “Michael Fyodorovich shall be tsar and lord of Muscovy and all the Russian state.” In order to prevent disturbances, Michael Romanov had to take a terrible sin upon his soul - to execute a 3 year-old boy…
The most vivid pages of Russian history and the establishment and consolidation of Russian state power are associated with the eighteen Russian Tsars of the House of Romanov which include such historic names as Peter the Great, Catherine the Great, Nicholas I and Alexanders I, II and III. The dynasty ended with the brutal assassination of the last Tsar, Nicholas II and his family by the Bolsheviks in Ekaterinburg in 1917.
The Romanov dynasty played a hugely important role in world history, and the series highlights the life stories and characters of the tsars, recounting their rise to power and their contribution to the dynasty, their merits and their faults, their achievements and mistakes, their victories and defeats in war.
The series also examines the Russian form of 'Caesarism' as a system of state administration - its advantages and drawbacks and how the Russian state changed under the Romanov's rule.
THE ROMANOVS is told in eight epic one-hour episodes using a unique combination of magnificent CGI animation and dramatic reconstruction with careful and accurate attention paid to each period.

How many people woke up to this or fell asleep to this lol
Just wokeup to it 😂
I woke up to this! Comment section open on the screen, and here’s Stevie! Lmao happy holidays to you brother! Blessings!
Brooo💀💀
Brooo…. For real. Deadass fell asleep on a bullet train to Kyoto and woke up to this lmao 😂
Just woke up to this, about to fall asleep to this.
My history grades would have been so much better had my generation had these videos available. Russian history is astonishing.
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).
@@magos6595 quit sticking up for Catherine, she knew how to use her assets!
@@candykane4271 ikr 😀👍
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 hapend every time i fall asleep. It's true....
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.
@@harmmoney3397 try watching it for a while, you just might enjoy it 😉
I was literally watching true crime, how did I get here?
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 😴🤣
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
I accidentally started watching but then I couldn't stop watching. Absolutely fascinating.
Plo lol p

I agree. Never thought I'd be so enamored with Russian history.
How many people watched all 8 episodes straight through besides me. I found it captivating and most interesting.
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.
I was watching a murder mystery case, I fell asleep then I start slowly waking up to a random voice I didn't recognize. Well this seems like a good documentary that I will continue to watch. Thanks RUclips 😊
Exactly what happened to me. Weird it would link the 2. I was watching That Chapter.
I do the same thing! 🤣
Oh wow same here now I'm stuck watching this.
*MKUltra brainwashing at IT'S BEST!*
@@loltryagain3422 l
Because I sleep and wake up listening to this documentary series I became somewhat fascinated by Russia’s history.
I want someone to do this for all histories - so well made.
I love waking up in the middle of the night to sick documentaries.
Such a fitting comment haha
just happened to me and then i saw this haha. youtube sleepaid high fives! *slap* oh sorry i didn't notice you only had one arm. hello? you okay?
Lol same
@@mysterycrumble No joke, this happened to me last night, with this exact series. I didnt go to sleep with it started either. Something else altogether.
Me too, I started watching at 5.30am, its now 6.43am.
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
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!
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
This documentary is absolutely fascinating. I love learning about historical families and their lineage.
I was astonished at just how very splendid this series turned out to be. I simply had to place my life on hold, as I could not look away!
Me too!! 😁
b'f'd'h'd'h'd'r'hbfdhdhdrh
I love it to.
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.
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 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
📽 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.
Those last words cut deep…Great series. Thank you for educating people and myself of this history.
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 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.
@@melissacoulter3996 .. JJ u.u..iuu ii u
Me too, I understand what you mean. It's very educational
Yeah. Yeah. Ioo lol…..7.97.;7;(8
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'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
@@shawndamccormick278 oh yeah sorry hehe typo :) Thanks!
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!
Why would you have been poor
@@phil4863 yeah, history is actually a very diverse field that can help in a number of careers outside anything having to actually do with history 🙂
fact!💯😆
@@justinsirles8980 um.... he could be a history tutor
yeah same.. LOL
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.
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!
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:
ruclips.net/video/YMHH6XwvtN4/видео.html
I'm fidgeting and squirming around like a slithering snake through water
@@Martina-Kosicanka It looks good. Too bad it's in Russian. I hope they make an English version.
@@AlM-tz8yx It is worth reading subtitles
The montage where Catherine is casually sipping her tea while the narrator is talking about how everybody is leaving the Emperor to join her ranks had me dying 😂
Why?
@@Woodman-Spare-that-tree because she’s calm and collected and she’s like, “See? I knew they would all flock to me. You ain’t shit, Emperor” 😂
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
its 5:19am and i've just now finished this. It was well worth not sleeping lol
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
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.
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
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.
This is fake news... Propaganda,.
Probably
@@timlangdon6448 shut up fool nobody cares
@@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.
@@ikmoethelemaalniks1716 all I know is Catherine the Great was awful horny woman....
That is one severely underrated ability in leaders--leaders able to pick out good, competent people. Catherine the Great was not a military genius, but she was really good at choosing men who were military geniuses. Suvorov definitely comes to mind. Her armies were doing so well that even the best military genius of the past 500 years--Napoleon--wanted to join Catherine's armies. (Genghis Khan and his sons came 500 years before Napoleon--they were genius military leaders on par with Napoleon.) That tells you how great Catherine was at seeing and attracting good talent.

I don't know about Genius, I'm more of the Blitzkrieg; Gorilla, Type of warrior. Even the civil war lines of men stand and fire one shot, Drop to a knee and reload, while another line directly behind, does the same in a synchronized pattern? That's shooting ducks at the carnival. People dying all around you. right genius.
One man's genious is another man's fool. I guess.

Was this the rise of power by the Satanic Underground? Britain had a war in 1918. USA started the Spanish flu, which was started in North Carolina, blamed on Spain because they refused to participate in WW1. Was Russia also refusing? I don't recall them being mentioned in WW1. We have to understand #TheEnemyWithin
@@annebradley6086 Who are you asking? I got a notification. I'm kind of curious; not sure what you are refering to. Depending where s person is coming from. There are a lot of groups of the period one might refer to as Satanic. I have been reading up on Marxism. It's interesting that throughout history these Marxist takeovers have eliminated relegion. They are anti anti religion. They are in fact "Anti - Christ." I wonder if this is relatable to your reference / question. I also wonder, did I stumble upon the actual anti - christ. Was the book of revelations refering to Marxism when it talks of the anti christ? Marxism certainly is = Anti Christ. kind of an interesting coincidence. Everything they have done in the past sure fits the descriptions of what to expect in the end times. Bring the world together under one rule, 3.5 yesrs of good, 3.5 yesrs of slaughter, men will dye from their hearts giving out, Gog and Magog, I'm sure you are familiar with the revelations. If Marxism is the Anti Christ, then I guess the followers of marxism would be satanic. What if any is your opinion. Even if this is not at all applicable to your thought here posted. I would still be interested in your thoughts on this possibly obvious connection, supposing this is one.
Tell me what you think.
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
In Britain, family trees are drawn with the parents at the top of the page and the children at the bottom of the page, which actually makes no sense because trees grow upwards not downwards. The family trees in this programme are drawn the other way around.
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 one of the best documentaries I've ever seen.
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.

...SKIP TO THE END; THEN HIT THE REPLAY ARROW...USUALLY WORKS!
I randomly wake up to this all the time and don’t know where it comes from.
I fell asleep to this and started dreaming that I was in it. At one point I panicked because I was wearing a vest and had only 15 minutes to get to work.
That too friggin funny, I love all this old Russian royalty stuff I even called My eldest Daughter Lara from Lara's theme, stoked I found this channel and will probably fall asleep watching it and have messed up dreams also.
@Bob Dole omg that IS freaky! Do you want to hear something even weirder? I have zero recollection of typing that comment!! The next day or so when I got the first alert saying someone replied to my comment on RUclips, I looked at the comment I wrote and I’m telling you....zero memory of writing that. It freaked me out bigtime. I must have been half asleep when I wrote it.
@Bob Dole Another strange thing about it is that Catherine the Great was not from Germany (as this documentary states.) She was born in Stettin, Pomerania in the Kingdom of Prussia. Well, guess whose great grandparents were Prussian immigrants? And they were both from Stettin, Pomerania? Mine. It’s always been a weird thing to explain to people what and where Prussia is/was because it’s no longer a country. I think my Prussian background must have picked up something from this. I do remember falling asleep to this but have zero recollection of that dream or the comment I typed! Zero! That has never happened in my life. STRANGE

I feel you lol
@@swalters6720 I always fall asleep to a documentary.
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!

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!!!

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.
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!

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 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.
No matter what I am watching when I fall asleep watching youtube, this is almost ALWAYS playing when I wake up. This does not have over 8 million "views", it has just played to sleeping people 6 million times.
1 month later 9 million views. I think you're correct. I don't recall watching it myself but it was marked halfway seen, so I've likely has it playing while I slept lol. And now again...
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!
A lot of work went into this production. The Tsar before Nicholas II blew it. Instead of building on a democratic movement handed to him on a platter, he suppressed. And achieved short term productivity gains with apparent domestic peace. Only problem, the world had moved toward a better way -- democracy with or without a monarch. He created the environment for a revolution, and we are still paying for it. I lost friends in Vietnam because of Communism, and China is currently using AI to convert into a functional police state, albeit with capitalism to pay for it.
Democracy begun the era of total wars. Not of rivalries between monarchs, but of entire populations pitted genocidally against one another... not of conquest and dominion, but of obliteration via firebombing, gassing and nuclear annihilation.
Americans didn't die in Vietnam because of Communism. Like in Iraq and Afghanistan, they died because 'Democracy" is even more totalitarian than the systems it replaced.
Look now to the United Nations recent declarations of Populism as incompatible with Democracy for further demonstration that Democracy isn't the will of the people. It's merely the use of the 51% to oppress the 49%.
everytime i wake there are some nice strange long documentaries i cant find when i search them
Go to your history here on RUclips it’ll show you what was played
I agree
I should have said May their memory be eternal as this is the correct way of stating that.
At some point in time, everything started lining up with all the stuff I knew from Oversimplified videos.
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.
One of the best documentaries I have ever watched!
@3:20 why are all the pictures of holy people(mary and baby jesus/Older Jesus) Black People
@@rbfbrown7207 well for one they weren't white lmao. See location.
@@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?
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???
The Guy who played Peter III, was cracking me up. I love how he hammed it up, lol
it is more than a documentary. It has the capability to draw you deep inside the history. Wonderful piece!
the modern age in Russia began with Peter the great...and there was recently an excellent mini-series on Catherine...which is where a lot of young guys found themselves!
also movie recommendations:...."War and Peace"..[of course]...and "The Tempest"...or maybe it was just "Tempest", I forget..starring Van Hefflin...the story of the peasants revolt against Catherine, "Doctor Zhivago", "Nicholas and Alexandria", "Rasputin and the Empress"...starring all the Barrymores...and quite a few others.....Russian history is full of fascinating stuff!.....
...and if you're into WWII....there's an excellent series right here on you tube called "The Unknown War"...that shows the Russian side of things...
Yes so true! The added deeper personal details and insights are amazing and so enthralling! A great attention keeper, well researched, well written, and we'll narrated.
@@frankpienkosky5688 Thanks Pienkosky, for your information. Surely I will watch your recommendations.
This series is absolutely outstanding.
These videos have me captivated, they make history so fun to learn.
Being a Russian 55 yo I am familiar with the details of the Romanovs' dynasty, probably much better than many of you. But this film still gave me great pleasure. It was very funny to listen about Russian history in English. 3+ hours of excellent language practice. By the way, I wanted to ask the native speakers, how is the English here? Any mistakes? Wrong stress? Anything like that?
The English here is excellent! I would be surprised if the narrator was not a native English speaker.
I can spend all my day off with this history documentaties. .. so fascinating to me
Me too... I just spend 6 hours on this
Well done documentary
Me three
I like history too. BUT it is often made up . The truth is hardly ever told .
Early on from its first episode, I was dumbfounded by the quality, knowledge and visuals of this series. The numbers as well as well as detail is staggering, considering how far back in history it went. I have never seen anything on this scale on Russia before. My only conclusion is that this info finally filtered through after the fall of the Soviet Union.
Apparently those boxes of Romanov memoirs survived the Bolsheviks. And isn't it a wonder the family were executed in so quiet a manner rather than, say, in public? There must have been a lot of residual support for them among the Russian people after 300 years.
@Jeff somersby WHAT is your problem??? I guess that if you haven't studied a country's history at length they are somehow ignorant, lmao? There is a word for people like your self that cast such aspersions. Arrogance. Limited experience? How do you know WHAT my experience is you dufus? You got a crystal ball?????? Your pathetic.
Nah!...pretty much common knowledge long before they arrived on the scene......
I think the average american is pretty surprised at the details every government entity keeps on the people - throughout history. If they didn't know these things, they wouldn't be able to tax you. and for some reason, social media seems to assure people that the government really doesnt know or care what you are doing. They do care. you are a walking dollar sign.
I always put some light hearted music on before bed, but every night the last week I have woken up to this. Like wtf is happening lol and why are thousands experiencing the exact same thing?!?
Loved it!!!! So interesting... Thanks for sharing.
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.
Autoplay on RUclips is weird. I woke up to this.
SAMEE lol
SAME! I was watching True Crime Daily, fell asleep and this was on. when I woke up.
Yup :-)
lol me too
i just did. wow
Absolutely one of the best documentaries I have seen.
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.
