@@rebuzz6866 "people who are directly responsible" I honestly don't think Nicholas' children had anything to do with it; other than that, yes, I do agree that Nicholas himself wasn't that good of a ruler (though quite pious and a good family man) who's family didn't deserve death (keeping in mind they didn't just stop with the deaths and mutilation of the corpses of not just him but his wife and children as well as their servants either but also went after all of the Romanovs they could get their hands on, not bothered by whether they were directly influential in politics or whatever their personal views were, or even involved at all) Chances are a lot of what we know about the last Russian Tsar is simple Bolshevik propaganda where we tend to forget the minor details like the daughters working as nurses during war time (I believe Anastasia was too young though?) and Nicholas' anonymous charity funding and donations, he wasn't the direct cause of the war that saw the dynasty fall either. If anything, these people, who meant to do good and truly believed in God and were murdered for their supposed crimes (were the children and servants even able to be held accountable? imo they were innocent and definitely passionbearers) Another layer of somewhat counterargument (though I agree Nicholas could have probably tried to do things differently) is that the autocracy and nobles were very much corrupt, he had to appease his court just like any other Emperor, and those men neither wanted nor would they ever have accepted change. TLDR: They were good people that did what they believed was right, keeping in mind their good spirits and faith in God, humility and other virtues as well as pure devotion to doing good they truly deserve to be recognized as passionbearers after getting their lives robbed from them by these honorless criminals.
The film is brilliant! Only Russians would have been able to recreate their one history so well. Apart from the excellent cast, what a blessing it is to listen to the sounds of this beautiful language!
@@tlcetc4506Like every leader, he made mistakes. That being said, there's more than enough evidence that shows that Russia had thrived in many aspects under his rule. If WW1 had never happened, I honestly think the country might have improved even more.
I watched the Fox Studios animated movie as a kid and became obsessed with the history of the Romanov Family and researched as much as I could. 23 years after I saw the movie, my second daughter was born (3 weeks ago) and I named her Anastasia
47:45 My tears are in my eyes. Alexei is such an angel. To protect his friend, he even lied to his mother but later he still asked for forgiveness. His mother definitely knows his little plan. But to protect her son, she pretends to be fooled. And the music is just about right. I feel sorry for the Romanovs. They should not have been executed in that manner, no matter what.
We are happy you like this film and we hope you'll enjoy the other videos on our channel, too! Have you visited our book's website yet? Many thanks for your comment here!
It is true that this is the most accurate Romanov film. The deep essence of their personalities is successfully depicted and the historical accuracy is remarkably good!
@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs Even though the authors of this film might have had the best intentions, the film is very far from being "historically accurate", and the way Nicholas and Alexandra are depicted in it is quite controversial. Some may like it and some may not, but regardless of personal tastes, the film simply depicts many of the events and characters inaccurately.

In my opinion, this is the best movie, by far, ever made about them. I have seen movies and documentaries about the Romanovs, lots of them. This one - very good acting, direction, locations, costumes. (even the actors look like the characters, even Lenin), etc.

Watching this beautiful masterpiece again but this time sitting infront of my Christmas tree trying to imagine the fear this beautiful family endured at the tragic end of their young lives. Sleep in peace Romanovs ❤
So, a couple of months they 'suffered' was more brutal than those hundreds of years the Tsars ruled, imprisoned, killed or exiled other human beings? Why, because it was their 'divine right' to shit on others, huh? Lol
The murder of the Romanovs was absolutely heartless and disgusting, especially considering the five innocent children. And watching this film makes it even more clear how pointless and unnecessary their deaths really were. Great film.
Yeah, but it still doesn't justify killing the children who had absolutely nothing to do with the political drama and chaos occurring in Russia. They should have just sent the children to another country and banned them from Russia entirely. Not murder them.
In a monarchial dynastic system the family members are very much a part of the "political drama" just by existing. Once it became clear that they would or could not be "extracted" from Russia by any of the ALLIES, their fate was sealed. It was apparent to the Bolsheviks that they were "expendable". If they only executed the Czar and/or even the Czarina on a trumped up "enemy of the people" treason charge, if any of the children survived, the dynasty would have continued in exile with a direct legitmate heir(s) as the figurehead. The Bolsheviks did the expedient thing and committed these atrocities of their "liquidation" w/o a 2nd thought. In their eyes the thought of any of the surviving Romanovs loose plotting counter revolution in Europe, Asia (or the USA!) was a non-starter. That any of the survivors would have been allowed to live in the new USSR or lead a "normal" life outside of Russia is a fantasy.
Phil Ad, not all governments felt that way. The Provisional government had no plans to execute the Tsar or his family, and in fact tried to encourage other countries to take them in. The primary reason for sending the family all the way to Tobolsk was to protect them from the bloodthirsty revolutionaries looking for blood.
I swear to this day he had the most beautiful perfect looking family I have ever seen, honestly I think most folks would agree & yes it does compel all of us evermore, beauty is something to behold & you can't mistake it. a funny note I've tried for a few years to grow that mustache & that thing is a work of art well done Nicky
I bought this book a couple of months ago. I have always been in love with Russia, Russian History and the beautiful families. I cannot believe what was done to them and I am so glad these stories are being told. Fantastic Book!
Very well done and it brings forth the deep sadness many feel at the horrible loss of the Imperial Family. A wound I feel everyday and will until I die.
I like this movie and wish I could find it on DVD to buy. The actors are completely believable as the characters they are portraying. Good job to them. I read that the actors playing the Romanov children actually had their heads shaved in the movie. Talk about being dedicated. Greetings from America. 🙋 🇺🇲
Thank you for this upload. I will never forgive those who killed this family and in so they killed so many Russians. This was a tragedy that should have never happened. They loved Russia with all their hearts... Tsar Nicholas and his family are still treasured to this day. And I hope that more people will treasure them and always remember them in their hearts.
Thank you for your comment HollyBeth! The 2nd part (which is the final one) will be published next week, so stay tuned...! And if you like, you can have a look at our book here: www.romanovs.eu/en
I agree. Equally difficult is to forgive and to forget the death of Princess Diana. I hope that Charles would never be allowed to be the king of England.

What a beautiful film about the most heinous crime of the centuries. This bittersweet movie shows the beauty & charm of the family amid their opulent existence mixed with the political brutality of their circumstances. The film company achieved the storytelling in a very proper high-quality way comparable if not superior to BBC/PBS standards for historical accuracy and perfection. The viewer becomes riveted. In the end, you realize the children were innocents, the girls virginal, the boy and heir but a mere sweet child, the Tsarina a caring mom, and the Tsar a devoted dad who probably just wanted to spend his days as a gentleman farmer and family man. There just wasn't enough hours in a day to also be Tsar, he'd have to be omnipresent. Definitely these people are saints or martyrs or passion-bearers, whatever the proper distinction. The film is long, in two parts, at first think you might not be able to do it, but in the end, you will be in tears and feel it wasn't long enough.
I saw a picture once of the Tsar Nicholas II shoveling snow, (I think it was during their captivity, not sure what location) but he seemed content to just be doing normal things like being outside with his kids shoveling snow and it broke my heart to know what happened to them. They had no way of knowing, and doing what they thought was right. The Tsar even gave up his throne and it was still not enough.
mein englisch und russisch sind sehr schwach aber ich habe versucht einige der wörter zu verstehen. Dieser film ist grossartig und die Arbeit ist perfekt selbst die Schauspieler sehen aus wie echte charaktere die kleidung und Frisuren sind sehr perfekt 👌🏻❤️🔥
The EMPRESS Alexandra FEODORVNA Is portrayed in a more favorable light than I have ever seen. If I am not mistaken the scenes inside the ALEXANDER Palace where actually shot in the palace. Well done .
Beautifully done, so far I am liking the movie. Can’t wait to see the rest. I love the Russian language , although I understand they did speak fluent English amongst themselves.
Yoooooo besides the ending getting to me but when the guys tore apart Tsar Nicholas's picture....dammmm my heart dropped man, imagine what he felt or what he was going though when he had no choice to to give up his throne?. Dammmm such a tragic loss.
They traded in for a government that in the long run was much worse, and more's the pity. The Tsarist regime under PM's Stolypin and Kokovtsov (1906-14) was the best governance Russia enjoyed in the 20th century - certainly better than the hellish mess of Ulyanov, Bronstein and Djugashvili.
He never really wanted that throne, he was a family man who was thrown into the role when his father died unexpectedly. He knew nothing about being a Tzar. The whole story is incredibly sad.
Glad you enjoyed the film! Thanks for watching and commenting here! Here's another recommendation from our channel: ruclips.net/video/mBVjDqHE_n4/видео.html
I love this movie quite much. The actors are excellent. And I like the piano music we can hear played by the Tsar, I wonder if it's possible to find the score....
Your book is so very lovely. I gave it to a friend as a gift to make him discover the Imperial Family, and so I wait to have enough money to get me another copy of this very excellent book.
@@toohdvaetihom7088 I believe the Tsar genuinely cared for his people. At any rate he loved them much more than the Communists. Imagine his position- if you were a billionaire emperor, would you want to work endlessly? He didn't even have a secretary or assistants, I suppose that didn't exist in his day. So he had to do it all, largely, himself. It's well known the Imperial family preferred to live like middle class- they were mocked for the cheapness of their private living quarters!! As for Nicholas, Imagine yourself in his shoes. Would you want to be the one to change the Dynasty? People say he was a bad Tsar, but I think the problem is Every Single person in his empire wanted different ways- it's almost impossible to choose one way when hundreds of people are telling him that their way was best. And impossible to make everyone happy. The poor guy was damned if he did and damned if he didn't, in an age that didn't have the hindsight we enjoy today.
As a Protestant I don't believe in Saints, but one cannot deny the piety of the Romanovs in captivity or before that even. Nicholas may not have been an exceptionally good Czar; though modernly used sources are likely biased because of Communists. One thing is for sure, Nicholas was a good willing person with a big heart, and so were all those of his family.
The PORTRAIT OF A TSAR is a chapter in the book that looks into that: Just a few lines from the book: Nicholas was not, as various historians wished to portray him, too meek and mild to hold this position. Those nearest to him preserved a few instances in which the young emperor’s powerful personality became apparent. You can find out more from the book www.romanovs.eu/online-store The following two articles also discuss the same: www.romanovs.eu/weakness-of-meekness www.romanovs.eu/painful-points
Alexandra was Protestant (Lutheran) before she converted to Russian Orthodoxy and she was the most fervent convert I've ever heard of. 💙 The Church was the biggest thing in her life next to her family.
he may have been a good person but he made some terrible mistakes; however the family did not deserve to die that way. Bolcheviks and "gilets jaunes" both revolutionaries (laugh)
He indeed was a family man, but he was also a very good leader! Contemporary propaganda has distorted the truth. Our book focuses on that, making use strictly of primary and archival sources: www.romanovs.eu/online-store
Jo Watson, also the french king, Louis 17 was a family man and did not want To shoot the mob that Marched on Versailles. He did not want to spill French blood
It's not RIGHT: THIS POINT OF VIEW WAS A REAL COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA. HE WAS A MAN OF STATE AND HE LOVED HIS COUNTRY WITH ALL HIS HEART. BOLSHEVISTS KILLED Him and His children and beloved wife. We should ask Him to forgive us for what we had done and pray God to help us.
@@нинакошеленко-х8р we agree with you 100% Any serious historical researcher of the 21st century can easily read and see that Nicholas II’s reign was remarkable and he himself was far from being the weak and naïve leader or the cruel and bloody tyrant portrayed by communism and the West! The fact that these 2 diametrically opposite extremes were attributed to him should be enough to make someone think of the absurdity! Was it not very natural that a century of communist propaganda would do their very best to distort this truth? One only needs to read the (Russian) archival documents and sources. It is all available now.
What great first part 1 is, i'm going to watch part 2, I have been to St-Petersburg Russia. I know what the Russians suffer it was absolutely outreagious. it is still an beautifully made serie.
It really is the best Romanov film to this day. Hopefully the Russians will eventually make a full movie, starting from the beginning of the family's life!
@@EsaiasP But the Romanovs spoke English with each other, Nicholas and Alexandra especially spoke english to each other nothing but English to each other. All the children spoke English when they were with their parents. So why not have an English version of it considering they did in fact speak it with one another unless they were in the company of a Russian or Slavic speaking person.

@La Serpenta Canta hi! About the film "Nicholas and Alexandra" from 1971. Even though the film does retain a sympathetic approach and understanding of the imperial couple, still it VERY far from the historical truth(s). It presents them exactly in the way the West has always portrayed them (no need to get into details here). But it is justified a little bit because at the time (1970s) the Russian State Archives were not yet open (they opened with Glasnost) and most primary sources were not yet available to researchers. That's why Rober Massie's book with the same name, i.e. "Nicholas and Alexandra", also lacks in this respect since it was written in the 1960s. We hope this helps!
Uma história repleta de covardias e segundas intenções. Mas, a história faz jus aos verdadeiros heróis, e coloca os falsos salvadores da pátria no esquecimento: seus nomes são esquecidos. Mesmo uma história triste, o Tsar Nicholas II construiu uma bela família e teve o seu amor e fidelidade.
My late grandmother was a Romanov she and her parents fled the country in 1917 on a ship hoping to go to us but the ship beeing over crowded broke down in Istanbul never to sail again so they remained here later married my grandfather 20 years her senior she was only 17 had two sons iam the daughter of her older son
So happy to know there are surviving relatives. Are you involved in any of the identification process? DNA bases? Written any of your memoirs? We all feel very badly, and wonder if Russia would have had a different future and her churches?
If you look deep into what happened to this family, you’re going to be enraged about what some of the executioners did to those girls after the shooting. Not hard to figure out what I’m saying. According to the source I read this from, the commander at that site was wanting to end these two men. But they were so short handed that he couldn’t spare the loss. That’s how brutal the Russian Civil War was at the time. It seems to be almost never mentioned here in the states, that war. They fought each other longer than the German in World War One.
The Russian civil War was brutal and the brutality brought to bear by the Bolsherviks was unimaginable. I personally don't believe the Bolsherviks gained anything from the extermination of the Romanovs. In fact the Romanovs are sustained by myth and legend because of it.
Empress Alexandra's mother was the daughter of Queen Victoria. English was for her a native language and she spoke almost solely in English to her children. Nicholas' English was also perfect, and he was described as being so fluent as to be taken for an Englishman. 😊
@Phil Ad first, we kindly ask you to avoid using such expressions towards our project team, that is, accusing us of lies. Secondly, please note that apart from all the memoirs and literature of that time which unanimously testifies to this, there is an abundance of surviving letters written by Alexandra in Russian. We have plenty of them in our archives. Nobody ever disputed the fact that Alexandra spoke and wrote in Russian! So, please, let us not engage in any further fruitless discussion on this.
@Phil Ad that is perfectly correct - thank you for being so kind in coming back and sharing the results of your research with us here. Unfortunately, most people, are not willing to admit their mistakes and do not get into the trouble of gathering information. So, we appreciate your diligence. If you are really interested in learning many truths about the family, previously hidden or distorted, you can read our book. It is strictly based on primary sources and uses an extensive bibliography, including an abundance of documents from the Russian State Archives. It is written in a reader-friendly way. All the people who got it say that it is the best Romanov book ever. You can find it here: www.romanovs.eu/online-store
The film is indeed a good production, but the truth is that it has many serious inaccuracies, both historical and about the essential character of the family members. When you read our book, you will see exactly what we mean!
What I will never understand is how the British royal family refused them sanctuary? No doubt the Communist revolution was an unstoppable force at this point but the Romanov family did not have to die. This was the worst of betrayals, they must have felt the world and even their own relatives had turned their backs on them and sealed their fate.
I agree,that betrayed is one of the outstanding parts of this story. But what can you expect from "the royals" I know one thing and that is Tsar Nicholas ,his Tsarina Alex and their beautiful children would have sacrificed even the throne to save King George. So foul of all of them- it certainly wasn't "the people" they were thinking of, but their own butts.
Because there was a very real possibility the same could happen to the British Royal Family. Tsar Nicholas made his own bed and he had to sleep in it. Blunder after Blunder. Sending Men to die by Millions without rifles, ammunition and food. All these European Monarchs rightly deserved the Gallows with how they play with human life. Like a game. The only Royal Family to survive the War were the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha's. Could you imagine having over 2 million Casualties in your Country. You lost family and friends. Half your town has been exterminated by the War AND Your King (England) allows the Family along with THE MAN (Tsar Nicholas) that mobilized his Nation and unflinchingly threw gas on a fire that killed your people and widened the War? Austria/Hungary, Germany and Russia started the damn thing. If I was alive at that time in England and My Government let those bastards in to live the high life...... uh ahhh.

This is wrong, Olga Nikolaevena in 1914, was offered to marry the prince of Romania, but she declined, on a trip to Romania in 1914 to meet relatives, before going, she and her sisters laid in the grass to get sunburns since paleness was attractive at the time, during the time in Romania they avoided the prince and since they had those sunburns the prince avoided them. Olga and her sisters were clear: Never leave Russia
The Russian Imperial Family were largely German, of course. Catherine the Great had no Russian ancestry at all. Nicholas II was, at best, about one-eighth Russian. The Court spoke French, officially, but English was becoming very popular. Nicholas and Alexandra spoke to each other and wrote to each other, in private, in English. So, the Imperial Family and the Aristocracy was very detached from the ordinary Russian people.

Galibin- this is the prince Golitsyn! Юный артист очень талантливо сыграл царевича. А о семейной истории князя Голицына, сыгравшего здесь роль царя, я давно осведомлена. Мой дедушка Феодосий тоже был дворянин, скрывал это и умудрился дожить до старости. Тоже хотите быть осведомлёнными об актёре? Кто-то из его родственников по известным причинам сменил фамилию Голицын на Галибин. Golitsyn на Galibin. А ведь его семья когда-то могла бы взойти to the throne of Russia!
Its worth keeping in mind this dynasty was effectively a dictatorship and behaved like one. The treatment of soldiers during WWI was a big part of the reason it fell but by no means the only reason.
In my whole life That I have seen many royal families in Europe but this royal family romanov is very nice and kind And Beautiful family that you see they love each other i love this family ❤️❤️❤️but there family was murdered Rip to romanov family
I can't help think of the unwillingness and disinterest of King Edward VIII towards being king - he wanted a personal life, a true love, rather than the royal trappings he was born into. These two men seem to have shared a love of family and intimacy, over power and control. They were not suited to their times.
Excuse me, but David Widsor was unfit to be a decent human being, not only King, a weak willed puppet in his mistress's hands like dear Harry is today, and a devoted pro Nazi...how dare you compare him with Nicholas Romanov, who was a good father and husband, but lacked the strength to be Tsar?!
I like to think that if Lynne Frederick (who played Tatiana in Nicholas and Alexandra 28 years before this film) hadn’t died young, she could’ve played Empress Alexandra in this film.
I hope you will make a book and a movie about the French revolution. The book and the movie are beautiful, the cinematography is excellent and the book is so beautiful. The same thing happened in France and the way the stories are told about King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, don’t hit the mark like this movie does. Thank you for your beautiful work. I hope one day Russia will bring back the Czar one day and restore Russia. It’s sad what they did to the Romanov family! What do the Russians think of it all? Would they want a czar again? I wonder..
Boatswain left Alexei and Romanov family before they were being moved to Tobolsk. And after he left, Nagorny took his place as a main nanny. In captivity, the red soldiers actions were often very insulting and harassing, but Nagorny tried his best to protect the Romanov family. Nagorny action caused big anger on red soldiers. Four days after Nagorny and the rest of Romanov family moved into Ekaterinburg (Ipatiev house), he was taken away alongside Ivan Sednev. They both shot to death. Nagorny& Ivan were canonized by Russian Ortodox church on Nov 14th 1981
I have been fascinated by Russia and its history for decades, since I was in my teens (now 66), and have studied it via books and documentaries. The Romanovs were fascinating, from Michael I, crowned at the Ipatiev Monastery, to Nicholas II, murdered with his family at the Ipatiev House, an odd coincidence. I do not believe Nicholas II was a bad man, but he was not a great Tsar. Unfortunately, he had been raised to believe that it was his divine duty to rule Russia, but he would have been far happier if he could have lived out his life with his family on a farm or small estate somewhere. He was a devoted husband and family man who was not cut out to rule a huge country like Russia.

@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs Thank you! I will check it out. When interested in a subject, I try to access different resources so as to get different perspectives on the subject instead of one researcher’s POV. For example, I have read a number of books on Rasputin and have concluded that he was not a “mad monk”. He was a crude womanizer who had a strong will and a semi-hypnotic ability to calm people, like the young Tsarevich, which was effective in reducing the bleeding and pain from his haemophilia related injuries. The legend of the way he died probably had more to do with Yusupov’s hysteria than fact. When I was younger, I read Russian fairy tales (along with the folklore of other cultures. I found Baba Yaga fascinating. I also remember that many of the tales I read had the message that if they could only get to the Tsar, everything would be alright. One thing I am curious about is that the video shows Tsar Nicholas II looking at photos of a woman who appears to be Matilda Kshesinskaya, Nicholas’s mistress prior to his relationship with Alexandra. Is it? And if so, why would he be looking at her photos?

Haw is it possible that people who are directly responsible for breakout of revolution could become martyrs? This is a classic oxymoron.
@@rebuzz6866 "people who are directly responsible" I honestly don't think Nicholas' children had anything to do with it; other than that, yes, I do agree that Nicholas himself wasn't that good of a ruler (though quite pious and a good family man) who's family didn't deserve death (keeping in mind they didn't just stop with the deaths and mutilation of the corpses of not just him but his wife and children as well as their servants either but also went after all of the Romanovs they could get their hands on, not bothered by whether they were directly influential in politics or whatever their personal views were, or even involved at all)
Chances are a lot of what we know about the last Russian Tsar is simple Bolshevik propaganda where we tend to forget the minor details like the daughters working as nurses during war time (I believe Anastasia was too young though?) and Nicholas' anonymous charity funding and donations, he wasn't the direct cause of the war that saw the dynasty fall either.
If anything, these people, who meant to do good and truly believed in God and were murdered for their supposed crimes (were the children and servants even able to be held accountable? imo they were innocent and definitely passionbearers)
Another layer of somewhat counterargument (though I agree Nicholas could have probably tried to do things differently) is that the autocracy and nobles were very much corrupt, he had to appease his court just like any other Emperor, and those men neither wanted nor would they ever have accepted change.
TLDR: They were good people that did what they believed was right, keeping in mind their good spirits and faith in God, humility and other virtues as well as pure devotion to doing good they truly deserve to be recognized as passionbearers after getting their lives robbed from them by these honorless criminals.
The film is brilliant! Only Russians would have been able to recreate their one history so well. Apart from the excellent cast, what a blessing it is to listen to the sounds of this beautiful language!
No one ever questions the love this family shared! He may have been a terrible tsar but he was a great father and husband! RIP .
He was a shitty father. Couldn't even save his children from death.
But was he a terrible tzar???
Lies, all lies. The Communists took over France first, then England, Russia and America. Our history is a lie.

@@tlcetc4506Like every leader, he made mistakes. That being said, there's more than enough evidence that shows that Russia had thrived in many aspects under his rule. If WW1 had never happened, I honestly think the country might have improved even more.
I watched the Fox Studios animated movie as a kid and became obsessed with the history of the Romanov Family and researched as much as I could. 23 years after I saw the movie, my second daughter was born (3 weeks ago) and I named her Anastasia
May the Lord bless you and your family, dear. ☦
My granddaughter is named Anastasia too because my daughter loved the Tsar and family
47:45 My tears are in my eyes. Alexei is such an angel. To protect his friend, he even lied to his mother but later he still asked for forgiveness. His mother definitely knows his little plan. But to protect her son, she pretends to be fooled. And the music is just about right. I feel sorry for the Romanovs. They should not have been executed in that manner, no matter what.

Watching this beautiful masterpiece again but this time sitting infront of my Christmas tree trying to imagine the fear this beautiful family endured at the tragic end of their young lives.
Sleep in peace Romanovs ❤
So, a couple of months they 'suffered' was more brutal than those hundreds of years the Tsars ruled, imprisoned, killed or exiled other human beings? Why, because it was their 'divine right' to shit on others, huh? Lol
@@vaestkusten6041 Okay Trotsky, take a break.
The murder of the Romanovs was absolutely heartless and disgusting, especially considering the five innocent children. And watching this film makes it even more clear how pointless and unnecessary their deaths really were. Great film.
Yeah, but it still doesn't justify killing the children who had absolutely nothing to do with the political drama and chaos occurring in Russia. They should have just sent the children to another country and banned them from Russia entirely. Not murder them.
In a monarchial dynastic system the family members are very much a part of the "political drama" just by existing. Once it became clear that they would or could not be "extracted" from Russia by any of the ALLIES, their fate was sealed. It was apparent to the Bolsheviks that they were "expendable".
If they only executed the Czar and/or even the Czarina on a trumped up "enemy of the people" treason charge, if any of the children survived, the dynasty would have continued in exile with a direct legitmate heir(s) as the figurehead.
The Bolsheviks did the expedient thing and committed these atrocities of their "liquidation" w/o a 2nd thought. In their eyes the thought of any of the surviving Romanovs loose plotting counter revolution in Europe, Asia (or the USA!) was a non-starter. That any of the survivors would have been allowed to live in the new USSR or lead a "normal" life outside of Russia is a fantasy.
Phil Ad, not all governments felt that way. The Provisional government had no plans to execute the Tsar or his family, and in fact tried to encourage other countries to take them in. The primary reason for sending the family all the way to Tobolsk was to protect them from the bloodthirsty revolutionaries looking for blood.
I cannot get ten minutes into this without tearing up. So sad and pointless and cruel was the fate they met. Not deserved.
@@undeadnightorc the provisional government was a bourgeois regime not the Bolshevik one
I swear to this day he had the most beautiful perfect looking family I have ever seen, honestly I think most folks would agree & yes it does compel all of us evermore, beauty is something to behold & you can't mistake it. a funny note I've tried for a few years to grow that mustache & that thing is a work of art well done Nicky

What a beautiful film about the most heinous crime of the centuries. This bittersweet movie shows the beauty & charm of the family amid their opulent existence mixed with the political brutality of their circumstances. The film company achieved the storytelling in a very proper high-quality way comparable if not superior to BBC/PBS standards for historical accuracy and perfection. The viewer becomes riveted. In the end, you realize the children were innocents, the girls virginal, the boy and heir but a mere sweet child, the Tsarina a caring mom, and the Tsar a devoted dad who probably just wanted to spend his days as a gentleman farmer and family man. There just wasn't enough hours in a day to also be Tsar, he'd have to be omnipresent. Definitely these people are saints or martyrs or passion-bearers, whatever the proper distinction. The film is long, in two parts, at first think you might not be able to do it, but in the end, you will be in tears and feel it wasn't long enough.
Wonderfully accurate review! Thank you for sharing!
I saw a picture once of the Tsar Nicholas II shoveling snow, (I think it was during their captivity, not sure what location) but he seemed content to just be doing normal things like being outside with his kids shoveling snow and it broke my heart to know what happened to them. They had no way of knowing, and doing what they thought was right. The Tsar even gave up his throne and it was still not enough.
I thought it was so cute that the Grand Duchesses used a little slang, like "she's up to her neck with stuff."
mein englisch und russisch sind sehr schwach aber ich habe versucht einige der wörter zu verstehen. Dieser film ist grossartig und die Arbeit ist perfekt selbst die Schauspieler sehen aus wie echte charaktere die kleidung und Frisuren sind sehr perfekt 👌🏻❤️🔥
Russians are good at art.Before revolution,They were better .But still succesful.
The EMPRESS Alexandra FEODORVNA Is portrayed in a more favorable light than I have ever seen. If I am not mistaken the scenes inside the ALEXANDER Palace where actually shot in the palace. Well done .
Beautifully done, so far I am liking the movie. Can’t wait to see the rest. I love the Russian language , although I understand they did speak fluent English amongst themselves.
Yoooooo besides the ending getting to me but when the guys tore apart Tsar Nicholas's picture....dammmm my heart dropped man, imagine what he felt or what he was going though when he had no choice to to give up his throne?. Dammmm such a tragic loss.
They traded in for a government that in the long run was much worse, and more's the pity. The Tsarist regime under PM's Stolypin and Kokovtsov (1906-14) was the best governance Russia enjoyed in the 20th century - certainly better than the hellish mess of Ulyanov, Bronstein and Djugashvili.
He never really wanted that throne, he was a family man who was thrown into the role when his father died unexpectedly. He knew nothing about being a Tzar. The whole story is incredibly sad.
@@Pashasmom1 Absolutely....a very tragic loss indeed

I love this movie quite much. The actors are excellent. And I like the piano music we can hear played by the Tsar, I wonder if it's possible to find the score....
Your book is so very lovely. I gave it to a friend as a gift to make him discover the Imperial Family, and so I wait to have enough money to get me another copy of this very excellent book.
Thank you so much! We are very flattered!
I get sad when I see this family's picture. They might have been oblivious to the sufferings of their people but they did not deserve to die. How sad.
The Tsar actively participated in suffering of his people
@@toohdvaetihom7088 I believe the Tsar genuinely cared for his people. At any rate he loved them much more than the Communists.
Imagine his position- if you were a billionaire emperor, would you want to work endlessly? He didn't even have a secretary or assistants, I suppose that didn't exist in his day. So he had to do it all, largely, himself.
It's well known the Imperial family preferred to live like middle class- they were mocked for the cheapness of their private living quarters!!
As for Nicholas, Imagine yourself in his shoes. Would you want to be the one to change the Dynasty?
People say he was a bad Tsar, but I think the problem is Every Single person in his empire wanted different ways- it's almost impossible to choose one way when hundreds of people are telling him that their way was best. And impossible to make everyone happy. The poor guy was damned if he did and damned if he didn't, in an age that didn't have the hindsight we enjoy today.
The millions who died under the bloody reign did not deserve to die or suffer.
As a Protestant I don't believe in Saints, but one cannot deny the piety of the Romanovs in captivity or before that even.
Nicholas may not have been an exceptionally good Czar; though modernly used sources are likely biased because of Communists.
One thing is for sure, Nicholas was a good willing person with a big heart, and so were all those of his family.
The PORTRAIT OF A TSAR is a chapter in the book that looks into that:
Just a few lines from the book:
Nicholas was not, as various historians wished to portray him, too
meek and mild to hold this position. Those nearest to him preserved a
few instances in which the young emperor’s powerful personality became
apparent.

The last Russian tzar was a family man rather than a man of state.
He indeed was a family man, but he was also a very good leader! Contemporary propaganda has distorted the truth. Our book focuses on that, making use strictly of primary and archival sources: www.romanovs.eu/online-store
Jo Watson, also the french king, Louis 17 was a family man and did not want To shoot the mob that Marched on Versailles. He did not want to spill French blood
It's not RIGHT: THIS POINT OF VIEW WAS A REAL COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA.
HE WAS A MAN OF STATE AND HE LOVED HIS COUNTRY WITH ALL HIS HEART.
BOLSHEVISTS KILLED Him and His children and beloved wife.
We should ask Him to forgive us for what we had done and pray God to help us.
@@нинакошеленко-х8р we agree with you 100% Any serious historical researcher of the 21st century can easily read and see that Nicholas II’s reign was remarkable and he himself was far from being the weak and naïve leader or the cruel and bloody tyrant portrayed by communism and the West! The fact that these 2 diametrically opposite extremes were attributed to him should be enough to make someone think of the absurdity! Was it not very natural that a century of communist propaganda would do their very best to distort this truth? One only needs to read the (Russian) archival documents and sources. It is all available now.
How about Bloody Sunday, 1905 year. Google it..... Letting alone all other crimes against humanity.

It truly is the most accurate film ever made about the Romanovs.
@La Serpenta Canta hi! About the film "Nicholas and Alexandra" from 1971. Even though the film does retain a sympathetic approach and understanding of the imperial couple, still it VERY far from the historical truth(s). It presents them exactly in the way the West has always portrayed them (no need to get into details here). But it is justified a little bit because at the time (1970s) the Russian State Archives were not yet open (they opened with Glasnost) and most primary sources were not yet available to researchers. That's why Rober Massie's book with the same name, i.e. "Nicholas and Alexandra", also lacks in this respect since it was written in the 1960s. We hope this helps!
the boy in this film looked like the real prince alexie
What an amazing movie! Thank you for sharing ☺️❤️

Uma história repleta de covardias e segundas intenções. Mas, a história faz jus aos verdadeiros heróis, e coloca os falsos salvadores da pátria no esquecimento: seus nomes são esquecidos. Mesmo uma história triste, o Tsar Nicholas II construiu uma bela família e teve o seu amor e fidelidade.

If you look deep into what happened to this family, you’re going to be enraged about what some of the executioners did to those girls after the shooting. Not hard to figure out what I’m saying. According to the source I read this from, the commander at that site was wanting to end these two men. But they were so short handed that he couldn’t spare the loss. That’s how brutal the Russian Civil War was at the time. It seems to be almost never mentioned here in the states, that war. They fought each other longer than the German in World War One.
The Russian civil War was brutal and the brutality brought to bear by the Bolsherviks was unimaginable. I personally don't believe the Bolsherviks gained anything from the extermination of the Romanovs. In fact the Romanovs are sustained by myth and legend because of it.

I read that the Romanovs usually spoke to each other in English- they were all fluent in English!
Empress Alexandra's mother was the daughter of Queen Victoria. English was for her a native language and she spoke almost solely in English to her children. Nicholas' English was also perfect, and he was described as being so fluent as to be taken for an Englishman. 😊
YEs, when you read their letters to each other, they are all in English.
@Phil Ad Alix spoke perfect Russian! She did have an accent of course, but she knew Russian perfectly!
@Phil Ad first, we kindly ask you to avoid using such expressions towards our project team, that is, accusing us of lies. Secondly, please note that apart from all the memoirs and literature of that time which unanimously testifies to this, there is an abundance of surviving letters written by Alexandra in Russian. We have plenty of them in our archives. Nobody ever disputed the fact that Alexandra spoke and wrote in Russian! So, please, let us not engage in any further fruitless discussion on this.
@Phil Ad that is perfectly correct - thank you for being so kind in coming back and sharing the results of your research with us here.

@@benthejrporter we're glad to hear that! Have a nice reading!
What I will never understand is how the British royal family refused them sanctuary? No doubt the Communist revolution was an unstoppable force at this point but the Romanov family did not have to die. This was the worst of betrayals, they must have felt the world and even their own relatives had turned their backs on them and sealed their fate.
I agree,that betrayed is one of the outstanding parts of this story. But what can you expect from "the royals" I know one thing and that is Tsar Nicholas ,his Tsarina Alex and their beautiful children would have sacrificed even the throne to save King George. So foul of all of them- it certainly wasn't "the people" they were thinking of, but their own butts.
Because there was a very real possibility the same could happen to the British Royal Family. Tsar Nicholas made his own bed and he had to sleep in it. Blunder after Blunder. Sending Men to die by Millions without rifles, ammunition and food. All these European Monarchs rightly deserved the Gallows with how they play with human life. Like a game. The only Royal Family to survive the War were the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha's. Could you imagine having over 2 million Casualties in your Country. You lost family and friends. Half your town has been exterminated by the War AND Your King (England) allows the Family along with THE MAN (Tsar Nicholas) that mobilized his Nation and unflinchingly threw gas on a fire that killed your people and widened the War? Austria/Hungary, Germany and Russia started the damn thing. If I was alive at that time in England and My Government let those bastards in to live the high life...... uh ahhh.
You can never depend on family family will always try their backs on you when you most need it

This is wrong, Olga Nikolaevena in 1914, was offered to marry the prince of Romania, but she declined, on a trip to Romania in 1914 to meet relatives, before going, she and her sisters laid in the grass to get sunburns since paleness was attractive at the time, during the time in Romania they avoided the prince and since they had those sunburns the prince avoided them. Olga and her sisters were clear: Never leave Russia
Спасибо за видео!
Всегда пожалуйста!
The Russian Imperial Family were largely German, of course. Catherine the Great had no Russian ancestry at all. Nicholas II was, at best, about one-eighth Russian. The Court spoke French, officially, but English was becoming very popular. Nicholas and Alexandra spoke to each other and wrote to each other, in private, in English. So, the Imperial Family and the Aristocracy was very detached from the ordinary Russian people.
Николай 2 был убит как русский ,как православный человек ,бандой , которой руководил еврей и чекист Янкель Юровский.
17:54 "Things will settle one way or another..." then the train scene... wow...🥺
Love this Thanks
I'm sad. I truly wanted to see this. The English subtitles are too small, even with my reading glasses. I bet you it's very good.
We're sorry about that, Rose! We will eventually try to upload the subtitles in RUclips (now they are embedded in the video) and we will let you know if we do so! Sorry!
@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs Thank you! That'd be great. God bless you!
@@rosemarie3784 God bless you do, dear Rose!
@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs Thanks! Guess what? I have great news! I found a way where I'll be able to read the subtitles! I watch RUclips on my phone but I never use full screen. I turned the movie to full screen and now I can read them! I'm so thrilled! I'll be watching it over the next few days, parts 1 & 2. I think your channel is fantastic! Now, I have been asking the Romanov Family for intercession in prayers, especially St. Nicholas! I have no doubt they are interceding for you and the success of your channel! God's blessings be upon you always! 🙏💐
@@rosemarie3784 that's simply just wonderful news! Thank you for the blessings!! We will try our best to keep up with our work! All the best to you!
They were so in love
Galibin- this is the prince Golitsyn! Юный артист очень талантливо сыграл царевича. А о семейной истории князя Голицына, сыгравшего здесь роль царя, я давно осведомлена. Мой дедушка Феодосий тоже был дворянин, скрывал это и умудрился дожить до старости. Тоже хотите быть осведомлёнными об актёре? Кто-то из его родственников по известным причинам сменил фамилию Голицын на Галибин. Golitsyn на Galibin. А ведь его семья когда-то могла бы взойти to the throne of Russia!
Its worth keeping in mind this dynasty was effectively a dictatorship and behaved like one. The treatment of soldiers during WWI was a big part of the reason it fell but by no means the only reason.
BULLSHIT. That's post-Communist bullshit... like all the lies about the NSDAP
One of the big problems was the Bolsheviks signing the peace with Germany, in 1917, depriving the Russian soldiers of the 1918 victory
@@sidoniewinterpasternak9938 For what? Germany didn't start war you know? Or the second WW for that matter
This is an excellent film, but I wish they would have dubbed it in English.
So Beautiful
Indeed, the best film about them ever!
In my whole life That I have seen many royal families in Europe but this royal family romanov is very nice and kind And Beautiful family that you see they love each other i love this family ❤️❤️❤️but there family was murdered Rip to romanov family
Please do tell the name of that beautiful yet solemn music @ 10:35
Great film romanticizing the Romanovs.
Oh yeah i know, the Bolsheviks who destroyed them and their nation were so much better. . .
I can't help think of the unwillingness and disinterest of King Edward VIII towards being king - he wanted a personal life, a true love, rather than the royal trappings he was born into. These two men seem to have shared a love of family and intimacy, over power and control. They were not suited to their times.
Excuse me, but David Widsor was unfit to be a decent human being, not only King, a weak willed puppet in his mistress's hands like dear Harry is today, and a devoted pro Nazi...how dare you compare him with Nicholas Romanov, who was a good father and husband, but lacked the strength to be Tsar?!
This is actually an amazing film
Велико ХВАЛА из Србије. Хвала за сву помоћ и највећу помоћ 1914. ХВАЛА
I like to think that if Lynne Frederick (who played Tatiana in Nicholas and Alexandra 28 years before this film) hadn’t died young, she could’ve played Empress Alexandra in this film.
I hope you will make a book and a movie about the French revolution. The book and the movie are beautiful, the cinematography is excellent and the book is so beautiful. The same thing happened in France and the way the stories are told about King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, don’t hit the mark like this movie does. Thank you for your beautiful work. I hope one day Russia will bring back the Czar one day and restore Russia. It’s sad what they did to the Romanov family! What do the Russians think of it all? Would they want a czar again? I wonder..
But what was the home language in their home ? I know they didn´t always contact in Russian, but English or French.
Hello, Jussi! Tsar Nicholas spoke only Russian to his children. Alexandra also tried to talk to them in Russian, but they did use English as well.
They could have been saved by relatives all failed them.
Not so simple. Relatives could have done more, but it wasn't like a tap of the finger.
I been obsessed with them for years😍😍😍😍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
One wonders how the world would be different today if this royal family had survived.
I was wondering about it a lot. It’s so sad what took place at that time.
They didn't.
Tsar should have just stayed on the train in Mogilev, surrounded by all the loyal troops. What a blunder to try and go back to Petrograd.
Boatswain left Alexei and Romanov family before they were being moved to Tobolsk. And after he left, Nagorny took his place as a main nanny. In captivity, the red soldiers actions were often very insulting and harassing, but Nagorny tried his best to protect the Romanov family. Nagorny action caused big anger on red soldiers. Four days after Nagorny and the rest of Romanov family moved into Ekaterinburg (Ipatiev house), he was taken away alongside Ivan Sednev. They both shot to death. Nagorny& Ivan were canonized by Russian Ortodox church on Nov 14th 1981
That's exactly so. Thank you for your great input here!
I have been fascinated by Russia and its history for decades, since I was in my teens (now 66), and have studied it via books and documentaries. The Romanovs were fascinating, from Michael I, crowned at the Ipatiev Monastery, to Nicholas II, murdered with his family at the Ipatiev House, an odd coincidence. I do not believe Nicholas II was a bad man, but he was not a great Tsar. Unfortunately, he had been raised to believe that it was his divine duty to rule Russia, but he would have been far happier if he could have lived out his life with his family on a farm or small estate somewhere. He was a devoted husband and family man who was not cut out to rule a huge country like Russia.
Thanks for your comment, Kathi! If you are interested in the truth about the life and death of the last Romanov family, as well as to what really took place in Russia during that turbulent era, then we highly recommend our book, which offers previously unpublished materials strictly from primary and archival sources. Our book brings to light a multitude of unknown and unrevealed facts, which evince that many truths remain silenced or distorted to this day. Such are:
• The achievements and great reforms of Tsar Nicholas' reign.
• The events of the 1905 revolution and Bloody Sunday.
• Russia’s and Tsar Nicholas’ involvement in WW1.
• The plots and conspiracies to overthrow Tsar Nicholas from his throne.
• The myth of the “Bread Revolution” and the truth about the February 1917 coup.

@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs Thank you! I will check it out. When interested in a subject, I try to access different resources so as to get different perspectives on the subject instead of one researcher’s POV. For example, I have read a number of books on Rasputin and have concluded that he was not a “mad monk”. He was a crude womanizer who had a strong will and a semi-hypnotic ability to calm people, like the young Tsarevich, which was effective in reducing the bleeding and pain from his haemophilia related injuries. The legend of the way he died probably had more to do with Yusupov’s hysteria than fact.
When I was younger, I read Russian fairy tales (along with the folklore of other cultures. I found Baba Yaga fascinating. I also remember that many of the tales I read had the message that if they could only get to the Tsar, everything would be alright. One thing I am curious about is that the video shows Tsar Nicholas II looking at photos of a woman who appears to be Matilda Kshesinskaya, Nicholas’s mistress prior to his relationship with Alexandra. Is it? And if so, why would he be looking at her photos?
@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs I would love to get the book but it is not available in the U.S. if I can ever afford travel to Europe, I will get a copy there.

BRAVO.
Very nice...
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Learnt Today Sophia Buxhoeveden who is buried in Brompton Cemetery London UK accompanied Tsar Family but she does not seem to be depicted here in Part I?
Maybe Nicholas II failed as a ruler but was triumphant as a human being. Beautiful movie
He didn't really fail as a ruler. He was eaten up by the rest of the world's great powers who wanted to divide Russia in spheres of influence between them.
BS.
👍👍👍👍👍💯
Love it, master piece💜💜💜💜💜
the tsar is told there is anarchy and revolution in Saint Petersbourg and he is still very calm, unreal! His family is so close to Saint Petersbourg...and some spy to watch people; to know their mind would have been so welcome!
These movies were wonderful! As a Latin rite Catholic I was not very familiar with this family’s heroic virtue. I now have a devotion to them, especially praying for families in this dark and dangerous world. Thank you for posting! I do have a silly question: could someone explain why did the girls had their hair cut so short? I might have missed the reason given in the program.
Are you sure of the Romanovs ' virtue?
@@kratos6802 Of course, we are sure of the Romanovs' virtues and their lives and writings up till their horrible execution all speaks volumes about their virtue. The question is: does a satanic deluded fool like you even understand what virtue is because apparently you are totally lacking in it. Go and try to develop a prefrontal cortex to think with instead of coming to write laughable foolishness that only betrays your ignorance and stupidity. What a miserable waste of human existence you are. How pathetic
@@vahrheit9996 Can you list its advantages? Why was he called "Nicholas the Bloody"?Can I list the years and how many civilians were killed during the peaceful strikes under Nicholas II? Learn history, ignoramus.)))))
Thanks
Amazingly good production. Who is the actress playing the Czarina? Is it Lynda Bellingham?
Hi, Carol! Yes, Alexandra is played by British actress Lynda Bellingham! She had had her lines dubbed into Russian by writer Inna Churikova.
Thought I recognised her. I was amazed to see her speaking fluent Russian! The dubbing is so good. Really enjoying it but am dreading getting to the part where they are increasingly mistreated and finally murdered. It was an unspeakably horrific thing to have happened to them 😥
@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs Inna Churikova is not only the writer. She is an accelent actresses with an an enormous experience and talent ...
