I think the fact that the Tzar's own cousin, (the British king), did not intervene to help save the family; and neither did the UK Prime Minister, is unforgivable.

I have been teaching the History of Western Civilization at university level for four decades. This is one of the best presentations I have ever seen. The background video was best also. Outstanding work.

A sensible depiction of that period. Compare this to the rhetoric of our times, by some Western politicians, including those in Ukraine, portraying Russia as evil throughout all history

[greyfriars]

Alexandra was a fool and Nicholas weak. She isolated the family from everybody except for Rasputin. Neither of them had any judgement or talent for statecraft and both were wedded to autocracy "Russia loves to feel the whip - it's their nature - tender love and then the iron hand to punish and guide" her words. They led their young family to an awful death that could have been avoided.

Tsar Nicholas, what a sweet summer boy, with perfect azure eyes.... almost like his head is filled with a beautiful, empty sky, lord knows he wasn't thinking about his fellow Russians.

[jessicamilestone]

Another fascinating video from you, People Profiles. Thank you.

And george. Turning down their request to have sanctuary in uk. Inhuman.

The Russian monarchy had to come to an end after the miserable defeats in WW1 and the blockade of resourceful resolutions for the economic and social problems of the Russian people. The luxurious lifestyle of the royal family was at the expense of the Russian treasury widened the gap between aristocrats and land owners and the rest of the people leading to social radicalism and hence the revolution and the end of monarchy.

I often wonder what people expected of people born into royally. They were only human.

[janwong]

Thank you for this. Who decides on the adverts? There's way too many of them.

Nicholas should've never been Tsar. He and Alexandra needed to be removed for a good reality check, but what happened to them and their family was pure evil. They were ignorant and too stuck-up with their ancestors' ideas, but probably not cruel. Lenin, on the other hand...

[peterasp]

All I can say is that the Tsar had his failings but he was a far far better person than the monsters who came after him. But unfortunately for Russia his failings would ensure that the monsters would come.

28августа 1941г.были живыми закопаны родственники дедушки Ленина и раввина Марголина возле Логойска как ехать на Гайну памятник есть. Немцы гарантировали переезд в Австралию им. Когда они пришли в пункт сбора у них забрали золота в объёме сундука, и заставили капать яму.., Спасся мальчик 6 лет. Мы с бабушкой часто тайно подходили к этому месту и бабушка плакала на коленях, и говорила, что лучше было бы, если бы жи до в (её слова) перевезли в Австралию..

Since its National inception as Russia in around 1000ce, the Russian people have never known a single day of anything remotely resembling a democracy.

Lenin would not have become Stalin especially since he warned against him

But Trotsky could have been a Stalin

[miriamwilson]

Excellent documentary. As to what I feel about Tsar Nicholas, I feel sure that he is happy now.
In fact, all the players in this melodramatic Russian tale, gone to their happy eternal rest.
Too soppy? Well, that s Buddhism for ya!!😊

Very beautiful and nice vedio on zar and Russian Empire

[blitzy]

27:20 Hmmm. I wonder what group of people they would be?

[ynqfcen]

Императорская семья были необычными, святыми людьми, которые не понимали зачастую публику и невозможно было Романовых выпустить в мир без создания дистанции и телохранителей...
