Nicholas II of Russia (1868-1918)

[princessofhesse]

Nicholas was called "weak as water," I believe by King Edward XII, and he was his own relation through marriage at least. a good man who never should have been anything other than landed gentry. of course, the monarchy, on the whole, had no concept of the real world and the Russian people had a great capacity for suffering, so that is probably what kept the Romanovs going as long as they did.

Mon Dieu qu'il était beau cet homme.

La beauté slave dans toute sa splendeur.

Un regard chaud et tendre, des épaules larges et un visage fin.

Une beauté ce mec.....

[jeffray1944]

the czarina Alexandra was the original boblehead.

[indiereplicant]

Look at all the idiots here claiming they want the Tsar back. You fucking idiots. You would have STARVED and been treated like SHIT under the Tsar. Unless you were royalty, you would have been poor FOREVER. There was no moving up on the social classes. Be lucky you have the "democracy" you have today in Russia. Be glad you're not under some ruthless monarchy like the Romanovs.

[1JackJAK]

Whats the name of the music that goes for the last 4 or 5 minutes of the video?

[theone1087]

God bless Putin for what he has done for Russia, but he cannot be Tsar. He does not have the pedigree. In these times of nihilistic modernity, people believe they can do 'anything', even challenge God. Monarchy is based on continuity by the law of God; it's a birthright. It's like your father passing you down a house and one day it was ransacked, robbed and occupied, however it is still 'lawfully' yours. Until every last Romanov dies, they'll be the 'only' remaining heirs to rule Holy Russia.

@theone1087

Putin's regime killed 34 million russians.

[rustohiski]

The law has never stood above the will of the ruler in Russia and this remains the case in today's putinocracy,

[liveontheedge1]

Боже, храни царя, Николая до сих пор живущих родственников! Они уничтожили святой царской семьи, так что теперь открыт для выборов! Чтобы спасти Россию должно быть царем!

[liveontheedge1]

Боже, Царя храни

[Helgy2011]

There is the only one Tzar of the present Russia for ever and ever and ever - Putin

[The37981]

Время и народ,а так же настоящие историки дадут в свой час оценку деятельности Товарищей Медведева,Путина и ихого Патриарха Кирилки,которые Романовых на Царство не звали и Романова не Короновали!Я не когда не голосовап за этих Товарищей!И не собираюсь!А что думает про них народ России и так всем известно!

[halenkovice18]

He and all his family werebrutally  killed by bloody sadistic hungarian Jews in Ekaterinburg with ZID Juritskyj taking a leading role....

SLAVU CARU !

[rodgersmous]

Боже, верни Царя!

[breizhcatalonia1993]

For a Constitutional and democratic monarchy in Russia (like in UK), that's what i support, do you think thats possible?

[miltondemagnifique]

unfortunately, having studied Russian history a lot, I think not. This said, if I'm wrong I will be very happy about it.

[breizhcatalonia1993]

@breizhcatalonia1993 well, its that i think an absolute monarchy there wil be disastrous for Russia :(

[dmvlch]

To the beginning of 20 centuries Russia was the strong country. Revolution has come from Europe because strong Russia did not like much. Unfortunately, Russian people of it have not understood, and have gone behind crowd of red villains. But it is angry, has all the same failed.

[dmvlch]

Прекрасный царь, прекрасная семья, прекрасная империя!

[amr1919ms]

Боже, Царя храни!

[BishopGarnier]

Without the crimes of the communism, how many Russian citizens today ?

[camui112]

@BishopGarnier Have read somewhere: without revolution and World War 2 there would be over 600 millions people by the middle of 20th century, according to the sociologists of the end of 19th and begining of 20th century.

[klausmann111]

Look the fastuose & luxury live they used to have while the russian people was starved,no wonder me that it was a revolution to take off all this unfair way to live on coast of the poor russian people!!!

[Rico8458]

how did he make his fortune? what business did he own?

[JuanMacready]

@Rico8458 He owned all of Russia and the Russian Empire.

[Rico8458]

how rich was he? a billionaire?

[JuanMacready]

Nicholas was the third richest man in history.

[wengen2007]

Remarkable footage! Thank you.

[bonbon796]

Otlichnoe video, spasibo!!! Great video thanks!

[gotch09]

Amazingly well preserved film. There's more film of them than I thought there'd be, considering they were butchered in 1918.

[AugustusAurelianus]

It is delightful for me to watch the early films marking the end of the Belle Epoque, clearly displaying the transition of that lovely way of life, gradually being modified by the introduction of modern machines (e.g. automobiles).

Excellent Historical record!

[Opolye]

Remember the murder of this good family by the enemies of God. Marxism leads to Bolshevism leads to murder. Down with revolutionaries, and never forget the Romanovs!

[bartje11]

Great document. Thanks for sharing!

[Goldenglory100]

interesting Nicholas II of Russia was quite the leader. What an awful way to go :(

[creatisthus]

@Goldenglory100 Quite a leader...? For Bloody Sunday, prosecuting Duma, Russo-Jap war (not forgetting its defeat), World War one, all the hunger and hardships. Quite a leader indeed.

[giloubreizh]

Dieu a permis que les monarques furent abattus pour que leurs peuples connussent le goût du sel.

[anastasiagirl1342]

i miss you my Romanov's

[StefanDSA]

@anastasiagirl1342 "I miss you my Romanov's. Wtf? You never even knew him, he did in like 1917, fuck you

[DedicationToRomanov]

@StefanDSA leave anastasiagirl1342 alone, she is just  dedicated to the family.

[peppermac1969]

@StefanDSA your comment is really rude and unecessary..

[fagocista1980]

@anastasiagirl1342 why? now you have Dmitrij Miedwiediew :)

[fabianoasc]

God save the Russian Empire !

God save the Tsar !

[fabianoasc]

you can tell that they were parasites, but according to the Russian Orthodox Church they are saints.

[ChromaTutsVEVO]

@fabianoasc there is no russian empire

[PsD14JR]

@fabianoasc Lenin slay empire and lenin and stalin did slay Tsar!

[goodmd1242]

[caliberdigital]

[Daladun]

Ah, when Nicholas makes eye contact with you!

[goodmd1242]

good job

[uhruri]

wonderfulll video is a treasure!!!

[GrandmaMargaretFan]

Interesting film footage, thanks for creating this video!

[Ronbo710]

It's the poor children I feel sorry for. No matter what their father 'may' have done. The children did not deserve to die. A tragedy.

[GrowTheCaine]

what im trying to figuer out is what happened to the Anastasia whose body they apperently never found?

[GrowTheCaine]

or was it Nicolas?

[SupremeCourtOfUSA]

if the children would have been left alive, they would succeed to rule all of russia when they grow up

[mcmlxvi]

Wrong. The girls were excluded from the line of succesion as long as they were elegible male members in the family (and there were a lot), and his son was too sick to have survived past the age of 18, that's why he abdicated in his name too. Even without the revolution Nicholas was doomed to pass the crown to a cousin since none of his brothers had any issue.

[1toscany]

You are incorrect! The Tsar passed the crown to his younger brother, Grand Duke Michael Aleksandrovich of Russia. He was actually Tsar for a day, after Tsar Nicholas II abdicated and was taken into custody. Mikhail was murdered with a British friend, in Perm, Ural, on 12 June 1918, before Tsar Nichlas II and his family were killed.

[PrincessMelody6]

@1toscany ur right

[PrincessMelody6]

@mcmlxvi he pass it to his younger brother micheal
