thank you so, so much for uploading this! this is one of my favorite documentaries, and it was removed from youtube some time ago, and I havne't been able to find it ever since!! so big thanks!!
While Alexandra was not a big catch, neither was the “princess” from the deposed Bourbon Dynasty that both Alexander III & his wife preferred. I bet that woman was relieved pretty soon after Nicholas married Alexandra when things got very precarious in Russia.
Especially knowing how little of importance they were. Those poor girls barely had their own identities. They were called the Big Pair and the Little Pair. Also OTMA like they were one.
Doctor Botkin thought some of it was psychologically induced and had nothing to do with real illness. After five kids every other year, it's no wonder she could stand or so she must have imagined, so some of it was psychosomatic.
@@Garbeaux. I think they were of great importance, not as much as Alexei of course, but Alix was very watchful over each one. They were not called OTMA. I haven't seen that in any of their letters except in one from PVP.
I love this doc, I first watched it when started my romanov obsession. I feel Alixs greats disadvantage was that, standardly she would have been raised with the expectation of marrying Nicolas if she were to marry him at all. She would've been taught French and Russian as she learned English and would've been fluent by her teens. She would've attended smaller or less important court events as she got closer to adulthood. She would have been taken under the wing of someone, even possibly the Dowager Empress if she was lucky enough, and would have been led in the expected duties of the Tsarina of Russia. But she was in a time when Royalty were allowed love matches and where it was becoming less and less common to get engaged at 5 and marry at 17. So, she didn't have any of that. And on top of it Nicolas was immature and playful so he didn't really teach her much on her expectations in court. Then even more weighing on her was that the Dowager Empress and Her grandmama Queen Victoria looked down upon the union so she didn't get much help of guidance and the stuff she got from Victoria wasn't exactly fit for the Russian court. Pretty much all the odds were stacked against her. It's sad because I feel if they had been born a century later, they would've done fine. They would be viewed as a cute and charming family much in the way Princess Diana and her little family were. But instead they were born in late 19th century Eurasia where there was strife and change and hunger and still all these imperialistic rules that they just didn't know how to cope or fix. So she shrunk and hid away and put her faith in mystics instead of rising to the challenge. And that ultimately played a big role in her family's downfall.
it's there so the video isn't struck with a copyright strike and taken down, there was another upload of the documentary just as normal but it was taken down by a strike last year I think. I do agree tho it is a little distracting when the music doesn't match the tone of what the narrator is saying.
I can't help but notice the similarities between Alexandra, and Marie Antoinette. They both were executed brutally. They both lost their children were murdered brutally, and they both were extremely unpopular foreigners.
Definitely parallels but major difference is one deserved her fate while the other did not. The kids in both situations didn’t deserve what happened to them.
@@Jaja-hx6chhow did they deserve their fate? They may have been unpopular figures but they didn’t deserve to be killed. I dislike most politicians but I don’t think they deserve to be assassinated. Most likely you say that they deserved it because you hate powerful women 🙄
By 1917, most Russians hated that 'German woman' and Alix lived in a world that was closed off to the rest of society. An irresponsible Czar who couldn't make a decision on his own an' which was viewed by the general populace as an indecisive emperor set the stage for what was to be the end. Considering that Nicholas ('Nicholas the bloody') had killed Lenin's brother, it is surprising Lenin didn't assassinate the family himself.
Taken from the world way too soon. Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia and Alexei Romanov, you and your parents shall never be forgotten. may you all rest in peace. 💔💙🤍
It's actually quite remarkable to see how public perception of the Romanovs has done such a complete 180 in Russia in recent decades. I recall seeing a procession march in Yekaterinburg back in 2018 on the centennial of the execution, and what stood out to me the most was a priest proclaiming the family as "innocent people who violated no laws". That message in itself speaks volumes about the massive social change in Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union

@@KawaiiStars I wish removing the music entirely and using the voice over would be sufficient enough for YT to leave it alone. I also don't understand why people report it for music, isn't people hearing the music just free advertising for music that would likely otherwise go unheard ?
if they had looked outside their palace to talk to their people and really see their lives, Nicholas & Alexandra might have seen their misery. They failed to see the coming storm of revolution and their demise with their family and country.
If they had told the Russian people about their son's illness the whole situation would have been different. Concern about Rasputin would have lessened, maybe less speculation about his relationship with Alexandra. People would have been praying for Alexei continually.
Great, to watch, and share, more of this, with you, guys! Fabulous, fabulous! I am more, and more, disappointed, in the, State, of, the, United States, and, European Monarchies. Also, with, all of the, Prior, U.S., Owned Lands. You are, still not taking, Monarchy, seriously, even though you have, Graces. Fact. Period. It is so loudly, evident. -Brittney Lee Hill Collier, Friday, Febuary, 16th, 2024. 4:56 p.m.
I love these videos! Please do more of this beautiful family. These girls are ethereally lovely and they should have been much more widely seen and known by the Russian people. The most beautiful of all royal princesses in my view.
As for the infamous Khodynka field massacre so out of touch and closed off from the rest of society, as he and Alix finedined that night entertaining the French in high fashion, Queen Victoria received seventeen (17) on the spot notices of everything that happened, the mass bodies and reports that angry Russians wanted retribution. Nicholas received absolutely no news about it and no one was ever punished.
@@roses-of-the-romanovs It depends on which historian your basing your facts on. Miranda Carter's newest book "George Nicholas and Wilhelm", she states he did not know. Robert K Massie's books, he knew. Radzinksky's book he 'knew'.
@@roses-of-the-romanovs Third-party sources as everyone kept diairies. The least dependable is Kaiser Wilhelm. Both Nicholas and George thought he was a joke.
So hard to say what you would do in any situation but I would like to think that if I was a princess I would want to strive to be like Diana very kind, giving, warm and loving I wouldn’t want to put all my effort into my family and my country❤ I feel like especially back in the day royalty was almost set up for failure they had so much pressure so young.
They went to New Mexico, there is a picture of Aleksey in the caves of the ancient arrow project, and from there, they went to New York or Manhattan. I like to stay, died at the age of 76., there is a picture of him that was taken. They referred to him as Nikola Tesla, but at the time Nikola Tesla, what is it in Switzerland, where they build the Hydron collider it is unknown when Nikola Tesla died.. I like her who is buried in a graveyard in Manhattan. It is unknown where Anastasia is..
They didn’t die they lived behind the palace in Saint Petersburg, where they spent the remainder of their lives, both Anastasia, and I like, say, left Russia, and went to the United States.

In Olga's 1913 diary, she mentions her mother's health every day. It must've been mentally exhausting for the children to grow up in this situation

I highly doubt it.

what is with the music playing underneath the video im having a stroke

They both deserve @@Garbeaux.
There is definitely parallels. Also a group of women stormed the Palace of Marie Antoinette and a group of women tried to do the same to Alexandra.

They sound like like normal everyday people, a good family thrown into a crazy time in history.

Love this documentary, particularly for the soundtrack. Thanks so much :) - although you seemed to have added music in random places... very strange

to avoid copyright most likely

53:51 The officer was Nikolai Pavlovich Sablin, almost twice her age. He was a close friend of the family but abandoned them during the revolution
Excellent documentary! I look forward to Pt. 2

Wrong, Nicholas knew about it, and who would be punished? It wasn't anyone's fault, not directly at least.
@@roses-of-the-romanovs It depends on which historian your basing your facts on. Miranda Carter's newest book "George Nicholas and Wilhelm", she states he did not know. Robert K Massie's books, he knew. Radzinksky's book he 'knew'.
Generally it seems he was thought to know. But I suppose it could be debated since often these facts rely on memories.
