[RARE] The Voice of Nicolas II - 1910 Recording 

Welp my secret has been discovered

1:30 voice starts

How is this still more clear than modern security cameras

101 years since the imperial family was murdered... So much happened since

Unfortunately, that is not the voice of Nicholas the second. That is most likely the voice of one of the Grand Dukes of Russia, because the soldiers reply with "Ваше Высочество" (Your Highness) and not with "Ваше Императорское Величество" (Your Imperial Majesty) which is the correct form to address the Tsar of Russia. Also, the translations and transcriptions are wrong in many places. Here are the corrected ones chronologically: "Братцы! Спасибо вамъ за славный парадъ!" "Здравія желаемъ Ваше Высочество!" "Спасибо братцы, вамъ за отличныя ученія!" "Здравія желаемъ Ваше Высочество". Translation: "Brethren! Thank you for (this) Glorious parade!" "We wish You good health Your Highness!" "Thank you brethren, for the excellent military games (war games)!" "We wish You good health Your Highness!". The original recording is much longer and contains the same voice at the start of the parade saying: "Братцы! Пью за дорогое здоровье нашего державнаго Вождья Государя Имератора Николая Александровича! Ура!" (Brothers! I drink to the health of our sovereign Chief Our Lord Emperor Nicholas Alexandrovich! Hurray!). Therefore the voice can not belong to H.I.M. Nicholas II himself. Further, back in 1910, it was impossible to record anything on larger distances (more than a couple of meters from the recording devise), hence, this recording is most likely recorded with actors in a room, for commercial purposes. People could then buy a recording of an historic event, "re-told". Update (10th of April 2020): 1) To those who claim that only the Tsar could have addressed the soldiers as "brothers", you are wrong. It was custom in the Russian Empire for superior officers to address lower ranking military personel as "Brethren" (as is also custom in the Orthodox Church). 2) Here is a link to the full length recording including a complete transcription and analysis: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c0X2agCKgBs.html

Dang, I just realized that I was expecting a British accent...thanks a lot Hollywood & BBC....

Imagine people in 100 years watching our movies and they will say everyone is dead

It’s so fascinating to me that this recording is going on 110 years old!! It’s so cool to hear a voice so old!!

It's impossible to not be attracted to his mustache. Even a straight male cannot resist.

He didn't said "knowlege". He said: "Thank you for the excellent military exercise(war games)" (in russian - "учения", [ucheniya] ).

My father in 1991 was painting a flag pole in boston near the harbor he was a painter. U.S.S.R fell at that same day an the russian fleet had to port they ported in boston first time ever russia landed in usa soil. My father was a heavy smoker he had a Marlboro zippo lighter with the cowboy on it. One of the russian sailors seen his lighter an asked if he wanted to trade the lighter for the sailors hat. My dad said sure an got the white sailor hat with the big communist symbol on the front nice solid leather strap around the inside of the hat well made hat. I still got the hat to this day the paper went down to the harbor an took pictures of the russian sailors eating pizza an laughing i also have the article from the paper. Just a cool story for someone to experience since it might never happen again lol.

The British royal family who were related distantly to the tsars refused to give them exile . They could have been saved from the horrific death they faced .

Why such a long video when it was a short audio clip ???

I should probably be studying for that text tomorrow My last brain cell at 2 am: “Rare recording of Nicholas the second”

Tsar score: 3/10 Beard score: 10/10

He was such a handsome man.

Fascinating, tragic family and story! Have always been amazed at how much Czar Nicholas looked like his cousin in the UK, George the V and his daughters were beautiful. Thanks for sharing~

I highly doubt that is the Tsar's voice, not quite historically accurate. If it were truly the Tsar's voice that would be astonishing ..but the film is still very historically important. Thanks for sharing.

Damn Cousin, you made it! I miss you!

Impressive. When you think Stalin would have a strong and powerful voice, it is rather high and fragile. When you think of the tsar, you would think he has a weak or timide voice. He actually has a low and firm voice here

So beautiful. I really hope one day we can find recordings of his childrens voices as well as that of the Empress!

He has a better mic than my friend on Discord

That's quite a rare document and recording. Thank you for uploading it.

2:25 This is where he reveals the location of the Nazi Moon base.

Glad someone caught this. I am sure the Royal family actually has at least one recording of a all-cousins get together where his voice is actually heard. Perhaps at a meeting with George V. ? Possible.

OTMA still in our hearts even after 100 years may God bless you

Amazing thank you for the upload.

What a stunning piece of history. Thank you for sharing

This is heartening. To hear a voice of a leader from that era, whether it’s Nicholas II or not - as some doubters in the comments. But interesting fact to note is his family communicated and spoke in English as discovered in their letters, dairies and journals because of their relations to the Queen of England.

He and his family were the most good looking royal ever

He is probably the most beloved (non Serb) leader that ever existed in Serbian history. He gave his crown, empire and life for Serbia and that is something we will never forget. Even if some new generation doesn't know about him, older one used to mention him as they would our greatest kings and tsars.

He had a very nice voice! Thank you for this recording!

Rest in Peace, King.

I think their relatives in England should have helped them 😥

So awesome they were able to record that

What a beautiful Symphony no. 3 movement 2.

Czar Nicholas was not "coronated" he was crowned.

Учения this is not knowledge Учения this is military exercises

Great find! I wonder what other spoken word recording you will uncover. Thank you.

So does RU-vid always recommend videos that came out 110 years ago now?

Good speech,my grandfather enemy

Although Beethoven's 3rd Symphony, 2nd movement is appropriate here, Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony 4th movement would have been better.

*_Thank you for your inaudible!_*

it was horrible the way the entire family was slaughtered. 😢

It's over Wilhelm, I have the high ground.

Damn, his voice is even rare in the recording...

So sad for he and his beautiful family. What a loss.

Спасибо! Thank you!

Coronated is not a verb the correct term is crowned at a coronation

He has a strange voice. We don't talk that right now.

These men are still living through this video

it's amazing that we can actually hear his voice......

братья спасибо за славный парад желаю вам крепкого здоровья [невероятно]! спасибо за отличные знания

The story of Csar Nicholas II was tragic, when his father died in 1894 he was not keen in ruling the empire but he had to because he was heir to the throne, like any person coming to power over night can be overwhelming and as such he was overburdened but he was not incompetent as we all take time to learn when he came to power he had an advisor who made poor judgements and make Nicholas to follow his advice which led to some serious faulty decisons leading to death of many people in the coronation day of tsar nicholas II and such faulty decisions of the advisor led to the downfall of such a great kingdom,provided if nicholas had had a proper advisor all these would have been avoided but what can we say maybe whatever happens it happens for good,but such hardwork of the ancestors of Nicholas to establish the Romanov dynasty was destroyed by few lack of judgements.

That amount of formality and organisation is unbelievable

This was recorded around 100 years ago and the quality is still better than security camera these days

It’s crazy to witness how much the world has evolved to become so modern in only one century. It was archaic during millenniums !!!!

The ceremony of crowning is a Coronation. The Emperor was 'crowned' - he was not 'coronated'

This is fascinating!

Anyway the video is very interesting, thank you. God bless you.

Rest in peace our brother Greetings from Serbia

He says Вам за отличные Учения and not Знания.

This is very tearful :(

Nicola come nessun altro grande uomo

This is actually really cool.

He was the last king of The Grand Dutchy of Finland. Well, his father was very much loved by the finns but Nikolai...

This video was uploaded when i still in planning by my mother and my father.

This Is amazing

Спасибо братцы за славный парад здоровья на ваше величество

I love Tsar Nicholas he so handsome. God Bless the Romanov.🌲🌳🌻🌹🥀

He sounds so wholesome, lol

Not my site here, long story but my US American born grandfather was the son of immigrants from no man's land of Ruysn's, now located in modern day SE Poland. He was just a teenager when he took a ship from the US to Poland /Rus area to visit his uncles and get to know them and his cousins. While being a tourist there and because of his Ruysn roots, he was forced to join the Czars Army! He was gone from the US for so long that at the US when he tried to returnthey told him he had been gone too long and they almost didn't allow him back home! Thanks Nicky, for nothing.Many generations suffer from just one family member going through such trauma.

Jesus he sounds so strong, powerful, and overall just magnificent. However he met the end he got sadly

1:41 он говорит «учения», а не «знания», как написано в видео. Это несколько разные вещи :). Учения - военный термин.

So sad...his cousin didn't want to save of Nicholas ll, but the jewels were taken to England!

*we can see a small part of the story with our own eyes*

wow, this is kinda spooky since this guy now is just some pieces of bones, like me sometimes in the future

This makes wonder what Catherine the Great would think of Russia today. She was one of the best rulers of Russia and she was loved by the people. Seeing this old footage and hearing the voices of the those men makes wonder what her opinion and thoughts of her country today would be.

R.I.P. Tsar Nicholas II

Just 1910’s kids will remember

That's it? That's all? Bolsies destroyed the rest?

I think you'll fined that the tsar was crowned. Not coronated.

Interesting thank you

This is actually Rare it just show up on my recommendation randomly

Voz digitalizada e gravada, pode durar séculos, sem perder qualidade.

He had a strong voice, to bad he didn't have a strong mind.

Documento historico INCREIBLE..

What a polite man ,

Πρεσβεύε υπέρ ημών ☦️

the correct word is "crowned", not coronated.

102 years, so much has changed..

R.i.p in cielo dolce Angelo

I'd like to hear OTMA's voices

Having only seen the movie Nicolas and Alexandria, I'm surprised at his voice and him talking in Russian, but then as he was a Russian, I shouldn't really be surprised he was talking in Russian.

Que emicion escuchar su voz gracias emocion grande

110 years so much has changed

I heared him once calling burgerking for a meal 🤣🤣🤣🤣

1:15 Why do I hear the Minecraft damage sound?

Can't be that rare if it's on RU-vid

A mistake has been made on 1:41 - "Спасибо, братцы, вам за отличные УЧЕНИЯ". Meaning military exercises, as soldiers congratulate the parade of Nicholas 2 , so there is nothing to do with knowledge
