@Olivia SUN what is wrong with you kind of people? A human life is worth so much more than a dog's life... I don't get it

Olivér Hunor Nagy both are equally matter but I believe that was her attempt to be funny

It's a very sad detail into a tragedy

@@olivernagy5861 well u don't get his point, the red army killing the last romanovs tsars bloodline in fear of a counter revolution bringing them back to the throne. Can be understandable but pets too ? Pets has nothing to do with anything, they can't contribute to anything

@@olivernagy5861 Absolutely NOT all human beings worth to live on more than any dogs!

I still cant seem to get over what happened to them i swear but sadly it was the their own fault.. They were blind to what was going on... Nicholas sort of knew he just accepted what was happening saying he was ready for his doom

@@joseluislowe1463 Your right. But the kids should have been though. They did not commit any mistakes, and only their father should have been punished for his mistakes. The kids should have survived

So heartbreaking. Really sad.

😢

that why I'm here.. just to know what happen

I would let you come.......here anytime 😊🌹

The whole story is sad. I know the "did they deserve it"? Question would be answered differently by everyone but I can never get used to the fact that ppl treat each other like this.

Total Judas

King George originally offered Tsar Nicholas and his family refuge in Britain, but later rescinded his offer due to the political climate, which is devastating given the fact that they were cousins. In fact, the British, German, and Russian royal families were all related. Tsar Nicholas had written to Kaiser Wilhelm, his German cousin (who was noted for looking exceedingly similar to him), calling him by his nickname Willy, and had implored him to call off the war. However, it’s interesting how Russia would be the first to mobilize, on a direct order from the Tsar, despite his letter. Goes to show Queen Victoria’s strategy of marrying her grandchildren into European families to keep the peace had backfired. Not even the royal familial relations could have prevented war.

@@hillarywoo4977 They would no doubt have moved to Britain but four of the children were sick with measles and couldn't be moved. By the time they had recovered King George with drew his offer due to political climate.

True. I read a book with some entries on the tsar’s diary and it is very evident that he is a kind-hearted chap. If you have time, try to read “The Romanov Royal Martyrs”.

The czar was kind hearted but indecisive and weak and it was his wife that ruled with Rasputin once the war started and they kept their son’s blood condition secret hence the rumours about Rasputin and her. The people didn’t know why was Rasputin there and she believed he was healing their son as the bleeding coincidently stopped when he was around. Unfortunately, it all contributed to their demise. They lived in their own bubble and were oblivious to the trouble that was brewing outside the palace walls and took the wrong advice.

Well the 20th century was a changing time empire dying monarchs being overthrown the idea of monarchy is just outdated I don't even support our British Monarchy anymore but at least they don't have much power they shouldn't have any at all they should be abolished.

@@callumwilliams1195 British Monarchy must not be abolished

I agree. Nicholas was czar at the worst time possible. He was weak and incompetent during wartimes. What bad luck indeed.

They have it's called Nicholas and Alexandra

I just saw a 6 hr documentary on the Romanovs starting at Mikhail I. Its so good! Look for it in RU-vid I found it by searching The Romanovs

in netflix

Star media had made a serial about all Romanovs

Yes and one of the girls was still alive while being thrown into the truck that would transport her and her family to their first grave. It was likely Maria and the men decided she was too badly wounded to live and so the men gave up trying to kill her. She died in the truck among the corpses of her family and attendants. It was when they got to the dumping site and tore off the clothes they noticed all the jewels and realised they were what made killing the girls so hard.

@@jamiemohan2049 what a brutal way to end your life.

@@lyndrasangabriel8948 it truly is.

Minecraft armor was inspired from this then

It's the imperialist indoctrination that's compelling you to be sad for the deaths of monarchs

Maybe the British monarchy don't want them in there for political reason. They are afraid of Russia.

Lyndra san gabriel but they were allies during the First World War, when the revolution and the massacre took place.

Why does everyone hate on the British royal family? They didn’t do anything wrong .

The British aren’t afraid of Russia .

@@Valencetheshireman927 British were afraid of Germany doing better than them. British were jealous and afraid

the kids didn’t, Nicholas did

@Methswan Coz he was responsible for the deaths of millions of peasants in Russia and oppressed minorities such as the Jews and Romanis.

@Methswan He was the Tsar? King of Russia???

@Methswan Yes 😭

They had to do it. There was no other way to cut their bloodline, all of them were too powerful to be left alive. The country was on its knees because of the monarchy

​@@Nile15rush_fj They were no longer in power!!! Tsar Nicholas abdicated more than a year prior! No longer a Tsar and no longer a threat!

​@@Nile15rush_fjnot true at all. And they didn't have to do it.

What do you mean "wasn't no saint"? He is a saint in the most literal sense, together with his family. They have been canonised.

Inbred genes aren't always pretty. Thank the Prussian bloodline or else everyone would look like Mary of Teck. YIKES!!!

Yes beautiful European genes😔

Georg 5 survived. And he looked very much like Nikolai

@@erozionzeall6371 🌶🌶🌶💩

Why India can't be a empire(raj) again and be friends with other kingdoms, empires all around the world.

Happiest*

just another story of monarchs being overthrown

lmaooooo this is nothing compared to other stories in history. Nicholas got wat was coming to him, the only people you can feel bad for in this are the kids

Their story is like a real life grimms storytale. They look like the fairytale family. But their fall from power and ending is a horror show.

Think it was Nicholas' grandfather not the 'previous Tsar' who initialized emancipation.

@@schoolssection yes,it was his grandfather .And he was assassinated. Which caused his son , Nicholas’ father, to be against many of his fathers reforms.

@@schoolssection Tsar Alexander II was the great reformer of Russia. It was unfortunate a couple SOB's assassinated him when he was on his way to once again reform Russia. Knowing his son, Alexander III, was an anti-reformer himself and during his reign did so. These were very costly years.

Actually, Nicholas II's brother Michael, which was supposed to become Tsar after Nicholas's abdication (which was also for Alexei), was a democrat at heart and wished to bring Russia to a similar system than the UK's. Alas, as he wanted the Douma's agreement before claiming himself Emperor, the bolcheviks killed him, and with him the hopes of the liberal movements. The truth is, at that time, the many grew with faith and the belief that tsarism was built by God so they were a minority to wish its total disparition. But the most violents are often the winners.

@No Name Tsar/Czar, NOT Emperor

@@valardohaeris333 Tsar= Cesar= Basileus=Emperor.

He didn’t bring misery the jewish communists killed him

You got it perfectly! He was a poor ruler, and so was his wife Alexandra. Sadly, their advisors were a big part of the disaster. Already disconnected from the reality, it went worse as Rasputin showed up. But it is sure that, despite their terrible political deeds, they were very kind-hearted humans and not just some megalomaniac tyrants.

We know one thing and that’s the “Bolsheviks” weren’t Russians and after they took over tens of millions of Russians were executed and starved to death

WHAT A BRILLANT ANSWER THAT WOMAN AND A BUNCH OF CHILDREN HAPPENED TO BE MY GREAT GRAN AND GREAT GREAT GRANDMA

The trouble with leaving even the kids alive is that it would have inevitably led to bloody rebellions fought in the name of putting them back on the throne.

@@josephina2011 Were they really?

wow wow wow wow you were sexiest. so you meant kill the men but save the girl because the vaginas are female. where is equality ? you sounded sexiest feminists with retarted double standards

Nikada to nije rekao. Ne postoji ni jedan dokaz da je to ikada rekao, niti o tome znaju ruski ili bilo koji drugi istoričari. To je mit koji postoji samo ovde, rusofilska izmišljotina. U politici ne postoje prijatelji, samo interesi. A njega nije bilo briga ni za Ruse a kamoli Srbe.

Sort of

Yup

Good movie

Nicholas and Alexandra were decidedly NOT throwing such lavish parties --- their relatives were.

As if nothing we’re going on? Read Nicholas and Alexandria. The Romanovs were good.

@@oscarmannheim7434 no

Oscar Mannheim I didn’t know that starving people was good. Uh. weird.

Didn’t these Romanovs live very modestly? Like their kids didn’t even have pillows on their beds and did their own chores.

Yes it is

Equality isn’t possible because of human nature . We all naturally look up to other people and down upon others . Take a look at the Americans . They believe in equality and yet they act as if they are better than everybody else .

And what about the people who died of hunger, illness under communism? When there was dispossession, five-year plans ?Yes, Nikolai was a weak ruler, but studying the history of my country, you can see that people lived better than under Lenin. Poor people believed the Bolsheviks in fairy tales about freedom, and as a result received communism, in which every word you said would lead you to be shot. This is very sad. The sad pages of my country's history

Olya Nikiforova wrong. They lived better under Lenin than Nikolai. You know why? Because Lenin wasn’t a dictator and listened to the people.

Not saying royals are more important. But they have to be taken cared of. Caring for royals does not mean we arent caring for the poor people too... We care for anyone as long as they are a human being with a soul, life should be fair for all and no one deserves to die that way

Bolsheviks were ruled by ruthless draconic jews.

I think they are planning on burying Maria/Anastasia and Alexei on the 17th. Hope the kids get laid to rest with the rest of their family, they've been separated far too long.

I agree

Where is their grave right now? Were all of their bodies ever recovered? The 7 of the family members? And were they ever burried well?

@@jamiemohan2049 are the 7of them laid to rest together or not yet?

Nicholas and his wife deserved it , but the kids i agree they did nothing

What do you mean? They aren't alive anymore for a century.

Sure. Tens of thousands of people, who were executed, sent to die in Siberia, tortured to death by the secret police of Nikolai looked much more joyful. End of Romanovs came a century too late. Hateful tyrants.

Gattaca Graduate me too

@@shoh1149 No. They kind of had to go. Just not that way.

They did not suffer! The people of Russia suffered. They deserved all they got!

@@colinlyne8688 They didn't suffer, of course they didn't. I don't think getting oppressed, harassed on a train and having to sit through a horrible and terribly executed execution of 30 minutes counts as suffering. Communism killed more Russians than the Romanovs did, and the Bolsheviks were directly involved and knew what they were doing, the Tsar may not have, there are multiple instances of which he is blamed to have been responsible but he was not even there.

@@colinlyne8688 I would not trust you around my children.

It was for Russia.

Danny Watson what’s wrong with Jews ?

RoiDes Glaces. Everything

.p

@@NoAimLoser2 Nothing is wrong with Jews but people will still blame everything on them because they refused to die in history many times which is what anti semites want.

Lol

People under his reign love his death

That's the jewish spawn the bolsheviks to ya. Israel operates the same way. The intoxicated US-society as well.

Me too!

They are Saints in the Orthodox Church.

They don't need mercy lol, the SCUM that killed them, and continue to kill millions are the ones that need mercy.

Amen

Ecclesiastes 12:7

@you're totally right evil troll spotted!

No way could any of them been alive in the truck after what happened

Gosh no one ever deserves to die that way... how could human beings ever do that?? Unless the devil is already in them they could!

That is how they died? I thought they were shot only then burried This death was so brutal for them. How can their souls rest in peace after that kind of death. I hope they are resting in peace now. This is so heartbreaking.

That was me. It was based on the fact one girl was said to have still been moving after been beaton over the head with the end of a rifle and placed in the truck. Some investigators state two girls (Maria and Anastasia), left the cellar mortally wounded and died of their wounds. They beat the girls till they stopped screaming, not till they were dead. I believe the girl who sat up screaming to be Maria. The fragments found in 2007/8 was found with 3 bullets. It is known Alexei was shot twice, I believe the other bullet was lodged into Anastasias head and killed her. Maria's body (found in 1991), shows no bullet to the head but the thigh and that she was beaton around the head. I believe Maria to be the body found in 1991 mainly cause facial reconstruction on beaton skulls is not effective nor is facial reconstruction even that accurate. The bodies injuries fit the account of Maria's death and seem to be her height too. Maria's cause of death is unknown, likely bled to death or died from blood forced trauma. She the only ones whose injuries would not have killed her fast. Yurovsky and Ermokov do mention that one of the girls was mortally wounded and they gave up tryna kill her. Also they all were dead when they were buried in the two seperate graves. The family were initially buried elsewhere in a mine, they were dowsed in acid and dumped in seperate grave 1 or 2 days after their assassination. All were dead when they reached the mine. None of the family were alive when they were disposed of both times. The accounts varied or changes based on the documentary for effect. Documentaries investigating their homicides usually mention how 1 or 2 of the girls left the cellar alive but just barely. There are also some accounts which say Alexei was killed last which is not true at all. The 1st and 2nd account of many of the assassins appears to be similiar and also appears accurate based on the injuries of the remains found in 1991. Later on the accounts change. With some saying Nicholas was shot in the head (inaccurate), that all the girls were shot in the head (inaccurate), that some of the girls were stabbed in the face (innacurate).

B/c the political climate at the tine was too risky. Also, Empress Alexandra was German and all Germans were hated then.

אין לך מה להרגיש צער כלפי המשפחה הנתעבת הזאת. שושלת של רודנים רצחניים שחיה חיי פאר ונהנתנות כשכולם היו רעבים ללחם. לא רק זה, גם מאות פוגרומים התבצעו על ידיהם ותומכיהם. מאות פוגרומים שבהם יהודים, כולל נשים וילדים, נרצחו ונאנסו בצורות הכי מזוויעות שרק אפשר לחשוב עליהן. לנין היה גיבור. לנין קונן מדינת עובדים אמיתית.

So unusual for an Israeli to side with tsar Nicky. But thanks you are of us who believe what happened to them is inhumane.

British royalty didn't help because of their fear that by importing the Romanovs, they might also be importing the same seeds of revolution that was roiling Russia.

@@charlottebuchanan3193 yes..and it was also a constitutional monarchy. The decision was not only up to the royal family. Parliament had a say in that .

was killed by jews, as per usual

Boa, o único erro é que quem na vdd pediu o muro se Berlim foi o "presidente" da Alemanha Oriental, até então, Stalin não tinha a menor objeção em construí um muro

Name them???

@@insaneone4369 he can't. He's just a little crybaby

yes, people fail to see that his wife was a highly emotional person, with a higl level of arrogance and me, me attitude ... he was weak and by having that sort of wife made him even more vulnerable, in a way I feel sorry for him.

What was he supposed to do? The media already consumed the masses and convinced them at the royals were bad. If you have no one to believe in you or follow you, then you're overthrown.

@@taokuoh6805 Nicholas was an _AUTOCRAT,_ he had complete and total power over absolutely everything, including the press, which he heavily censored. He refused to take stock of the fact that the average Russian starved for the better part of the year, and he listened to fools and religious mystics and isolated himself in his palaces. As a result of his weakness, tens of millions of people died, including his own children.

@@monkeygraborange No Bolsheviks caused all that. Russia was one of the most respected countries at the time. And the population of Russia was fine. You can see the difference in old footage from Tsar era and Stalin era. 50 million died, raped and even ate each other. None of that under Tsar.

Yes with the anniversary they seem to be deifying the Romanovs.....he refused to yield any power and lost it all. People revolt for a reason...

There is a documentary on RU-vid that is in 2 parts called “Russia’s lost princesses 1/2” and the second part is called “Russia’s lost princesses 2/2 documentary” I don’t have the links to those videos cause I am on iPhone but if you would like to check the videos out that’s what they were called

You do realise that your country is socialist

@@usernameusername5655 Yes, Thanks!! 🌹👏

Not even close to what they did to the people

I feel bad for the innocent kids. But no one will give up power, it has to be taken. After 300 yrs of ruling, its time that family is removed from power.

Beautiful

@@LightForxes Yes, she is performing it very gracefully and because she feels she has to. Most likely she bowed three times, though only one is shown here. In a sense she is bowing to the Motherland, too.

Why?

Ramin Parsa you make a lot of sense! I wish more people were aware of the Zionist agenda.

Because communist influence was MASSIVE... you have no idea how well funded it was and widespread it had become. These people are experts in firing up the people. They make useful idiots out of everyone lol. You have much to learn KP.

and your god is impotent. didn't do anything to save them. welcome to real world.😂

One day, we will all see each other in heaven.

They don't know the Gospel, same as the catholic "church"

There is no worship of the Saints. Veneration is completely different

@Anthony Joseph they arent ignored But hidden

Devotion not worship

This is what happens when a (possibly) american "non-denominational" christian try to comment something about orthodoxy and catholicism.

They would have gone but four of the children had measles. By the time they recovered the offer was withdrawn.

@@user-cf7pe3qg1c Sounds fated. Truly awful.
