@76i86989789 - NO you are wrong , COMMUNISM destroyed RUSSIA

That is a HISTORICAL FACT.

IF you think I like USA you are wrong they are new scum, but they have big bombs and they know it they are using it.

[aviomaster]

Dirty communists  destroyed Russia

[popazz1]

It's fantastic that archive footage from so many years back is now available to everyone,especially future generations!

[Serrano2012]

[cgboomer]

who brought more misery to the russian people in the long run , tsar nicholas or the commies?

[canamwing]

They were brought to justice. Enemy of the people!

[IoSonoUomo]

Did Czar Nicholas speak English?

[coralarch]

@IoSonoUomo All the family spoke English, and wrote letters in it, as well.

[CleoTheSim]

@IoSonoUomo I wouldn't be surprised if he did, since both he and the Czarina had close familial ties to the British Royal family.

It's amazing it's in such good shape considering its what--114 years old.

[kloratis]

May 14, 1896, you dumbass

[spicymona]

Beautiful ....thanks for sharing!

[rustohiski]

The coronation took place in 1896, two years after Nicholas had followed his father to the throne.

[goodmd1242]

ah in 0:34 hous the little little girl dou't tell me taht the brother what boy weres girl clothing

[ataramprat]

that is a boy. it was the style at that time to dress all young children (girls AND boys) in girl's clothing

[anaclet]

@ataramprat that's so gay!

[gotch09]

@anaclet Yeah, but he was one rich ass sob, they said his house dwarfed all the other European houses.

[anaclet]

@gotch09 Well in that aspect he was absolutely right. The Romanov was one of the longest reigning and most powerful dynasties in the whole world. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Romanov!

[gotch09]

@anaclet I was speaking of the actual film. I don't know what you were talking about.

[Serrano2012]

@ataramprat Those 5 little girls are girls, you can tell by their long hair and features and the dresses boys didn't wear bows in their hair! They are 5 little girls! They did have little girls back then too.

[Serrano2012]

@ataramprat ...and if you look at the children they were like 5 6 or 7 years old. they didn't wear that at that age it was under 3 for boys and longer for girls.

[Serrano2012]

@ataramprat There is another video stating that he had 4 daughters, perhaps they are his daughters! there is another video showing the girls into women hood! he had 5 children 4 of them being girls and 1 boy

[Serrano2012]

@ataramprat if you listen the childrens names were princess olga, titna, ana-maria, alexia, anstagia. Sorry all 5 are girls! Listen to the names when the little girls are running! Duh.

[sanielisse]

@Serrano2012

Olga, Tatjana, Marija< Anastasija were girls and Alexej was a boy

[gotch09]

@goodmd1242 It's not that uncommon. Even in the US, up until the early 20th century, at least in the deep south, male children wore little dresses until they were 1or 2 years old. It had nothing in the world to do with being "gay".

[Serrano2012]

@gotch09 it was just that little girls were cuter!

[wisserke]

waw, absolutely amazing ! This must be one of the oldest pieces of film in the world
