Myths & Reality: Tsar Nicholas II

"A weak, stupid, incompetent reactionary, who blocked progress towards a Western-style constitutional monarchy or republic." Such is the primitive Western stereotype of the much-slandered and later martyred Tsar Nicholas II. Why?

Let's not forget, the Windsors COULD have saved them. If they had chosen to.

Nicolas and King George V
cousins but they look like twins

[kimdurig]

They were the first of millions to be slaughtered by the Soviets .

The colour photos really makes their story come to life.

[GrandDuchessAniya]

I think Soviet propaganda led to the Western stereotype.

[TubeHeiress]

There was no good reason to slaughter the family once they were removed from the throne.

From the remaining footage of him he really seemed very kind. Beautiful family. Tragic what happened to them. R.I.P.

[jpmnky]

That poor family. Of course if he thought it were possible for things to go down the way they did, Nicholas would’ve fled Russia immediately. Or at least gotten the children out of there.

I loved Tsar Nicholas ll. He was the perfect man. Kind, handsome, gentleman and loved his wife and family. What they did to him and his family was very wrong on so many levels. He made some wrong decisions and it cost him his life. And that of his family that ended the Romanov era. Very sad. 🪷

[kimberleyheadland]

He was a good man Who loved his family💙💙❤️❤️

[marieandreas]

Horrible what they did to this beautiful family. Slaughtering all of them. So cruel Evil. 😭🙏😭

[TheGam]

He was a sacrificial lamb for Communism.
Occult activity is still with us

[MasterofScrutiny]

I can tell by looking at him that he is a kind loving man.

Watched a documentary on the royal family tonight, ”Cousins at War”. I understood for the first time how each of the royal families were connected and it really was a fascinating story. I’m thankful I love a plain life.

i feel so bad for he and his family. apparently he was a nice man who loved his family very much. they were so cruel to imprison them and then slaughter them. they did not deserve to die. so sad. may they rest in peace.

[simthiam]

That evil regime that murdered him and massacred his families, was short lived....The Law of Karma installed by God never fails

[memyselfandi]

And we know which folk did the dirty deed...

[DarkwingsDesending]

I will point out that allegedly the Russians believed these stereotypes as well and that russian historians hold these thoughts and have had for decades now, so it's not just the West who thinks this way.

[bellajohnson]

Such shame on man to do such EVIL to a family.
Why did King George turn down the opportunity to take this family in and protect them? 😢

[merrittmontgomery]

Czar Nicolas was a very kind and gentle man. I can’t believe the other bloodline royals did not offer a safe haven to this poor family!
