Anastasia: The Mystery of Anna Part 9

[willtado]

Anastasia survived..period..it is a shame that she died without her family.

[aramanth]

Well Isobella Huffenschtoffin or whatever did have a point....Anna was not a Romanov, but there were no DNA testing back then. But like many, I wished that she was......... hmm oh well...

[SiloliWolfeden]

Those two kiss entirely too much. I don't even find it romantic. It's simply unsensible, immoral, and ridiculous. Each smooch actually gets less romantic, because they become commonplace, stagnating in the mud of casual immorality.

[billy37766]

read your history,and yousee whathappen and who to believe

[Iamuurme140]

Ana is a sick imposter who lies for money. Anastasia died when she was 16 years old, along with her family, except Alexi, who died younger from a disease, that could kill you if you fell of a bike, or tripped.

[makethefire]

anastasia died when she was 17 and Alexi died with his family in the shooting, not because of his heamophilia.

[purememory]

how could this person lie so well? n pose as e real grand duchess anastasia for so long?!!

[reni4658]

@purememory THANK YOU! i mean fo reals i beleive that she is the real grand duchess anastasia

[Antongreen1994]

Is the guy who taking care of Ana in love with her??

[LBRTRN89]

I'm not defending the Bolshevik actions but the Soviets were an excellent idea the Russian Revolution is the greatest example of a working class uprising against a tyrannical government the original principles of the Revolution were direct democracy and de-centralization both excellent ideas but the original principles were hijacked by the Bolsheviks...the point still remains Nicholas and Alexandra deserved what the got!

[SonOfAqueraii]

everyone deserves death, you deserve death, i deserve death. but to say that one is more deserving than the other regardless of their past is suggesting that you are better than they. so in conclusion: shut up you pompous ass!

[LBRTRN89]

A man and woman responsible for the deaths of somewhere between 5 and 15 million people deserve death! If you don't feel this way and appreciate the glories of monarchy the pomp and splendor please move to the middle east how about Saudi Arabia they have a monarchy I rather like revolution and power in the hands of the people! YES I am better than a mass murder and so are you and so are most normal people! Get a sense of JUSTICE its the natural law!

[RomanovLearner334]

the people hated alexandra for no Reason!

[LBRTRN89]

Obviously you need to read history I can't even express the nativity of that statement. I suppose you think the Romanovs where benevolent autocrats who ruled the Russian people in love with the best interest of the people at heart this cannot be farther from the truth. They were a bunch of totalitarian bastards who insisted on running an empire into the ground at the cost of millions of lives. Alexandra was a evil bitch who belonged in the Middle Ages not the 20th century!

[RomanovLearner334]

stfu! they were not bastards! apparently your the bastard, for thinking that She was a bitch... and thinking that the Romanovs were bad people... welll Obvioussllly... u r the one who is need of reading History

[LBRTRN89]

Please facts Alexandra's insistence on putting incompetent leadership into the ministries because they were friends of Rasputin she removed Russia's last hope of avoiding the revolution the prime minister because he was exposing the corruption of Rasputin Alexandra mad man. She single-handedly bullied the Dumar (the Russian Parliament) and essentially said screw the people my family's luxury matters more than the fate of millions peasant and soldiers. Please tell me what you are reading?

[RomanovLearner334]

ok... sorry i raised my voice... but i just can't beieleve that they were bad poeple, especially Alexandra

[LBRTRN89]

Please lets keep this an academic conversation not an emotional one I really don't care what you believe or can't believe please facts only. Alexandra at the very least was gorgeously incompetent and if by chance this is the case someone that incompetent does not need to be ruling an empire and at the worst she was a product of European monarchy who thought she had a divine right to butcher people again I state the Revolution was supported by 90% of the people there was definitely a problem!

[Karenjade]

Never the less, in spite of Nicholas and Alexandras incompetance, failures and mistakes, they were by no means evil people and didn't deserve to be murdered. The Bolsheviks and the Cheka were even more powerful, brutal and tyrannical then the Romanovs ever were.

[LBRTRN89]

Romanov supporters always look to the evil of the Bolsheviks to justify their action it's amazing to me. I do not dispute the evils of communism but that is a poor defense for the Romanov as I said before they were either extremely incompetent but in my opinion sadistic tyrants and mass murders but the point is as I have made numerous times in this discussion the children were innocent and didn't deserve their fate the parents deserved everything that happen they were butchers.

[Karenjade]

Support and sympathy are two completely different things. And no, you only have to read about the kind of human beings Nicholas and Alexandra were to know they were anything but sadistic tyrants or butchers. In spite of their costly mistakes as rulers, and even if they deserved to lose the power they had, I can't agree either of them deserved to be murdered. Even their cheif killer admitted that.

[SonOfAqueraii]

sorry the previous comment was on a moody day. what i meant to say is that put yourself in the shoes of the romanovs. Nicholas is made Tzar a full two decades before expected due to the death of his father, The Previous Tzar has bankrupted the Russian coffers with his plans to bring Russia into the modern world. Nicholas is star struck with the vision of a shining european nation and decides to continue to push Russia. He nearly succedes and the price is too high, sickening even.

[SonOfAqueraii]

to add to it there was the defence of russia from the Kaiser to consider which nearly failed on more than one occasion. Besides the casualty estimates for the the last romanov reign are incredibly vague ranging from three to twenty million (i personally believe the records may have been exadurated to downplay the losses sustained during the Bolshevik rule.) Nicholas was trying to achieve an unpopular task in a horrifying way but in his mind it was the best thing for the empire.

[LBRTRN89]

Bloody Nicholas and that bitch Alexandra both got what the deserved it's only regrettable the children had to pay for their parents tyrannical reign!

[Hotdoghand]

aha I see. and what exactly would you call Russia's government now? Oh I agree, Communism is definitely not tyrannical. I agree that things could have been handled better by the royal family, but obviously you have little of a soul if you believe Communism is a tolerable substitute. How dare you

[LBRTRN89]

I didn't defend Communism, I simply said Bloody Nicholas was a tyrant and he was responsible was the death of millions of Russians even if it was at the very best plain incompetence the man deserved what he got "justice" yes it would have been preferable that he and Alexandra were tried but this would have resulted in the same outcome even if they were tried by an unbiased court.

[Hotdoghand]

and also, do you even know what caused those? Nicholos wasn't at the palace for Bloody Sunday. He did not say there werent enough gifts (which caused the turmoil at the Field Tragedy). And even though he did cause pogroms, most were caused by authorities because of their own hatred

[LostRomanovPrincess]

The last few minutes reminds me of the 1997 cartoon "Anastasia" where the grandmother refuses to see Anastasia since there had been too many fake Anastasias. It reminds me of her and Dimitri. Weird.

[7prcntcocaine]

Indeed. Anna Anderson was an imposter for sure but this movie is kinda moving. Prince Erick is such a sweet, loving man.

[MajesticalMermaid13]

All the sisters have the same middle name

[chakram11]

Actually her full name is the Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna

[Hippieluvsthebeatles]

but her last name is romanov

[yukilea4]

her name is Anastasia Nikilvania.not mikhailovna stupid

[Jal8919536]

The photography at 4:35 that Anna cannot identify is of the Grand Duchess Anastasia Mikhailovna at the 1903 Winter Ball.

[visga]

Uh, no it wasn't.

[Hippieluvsthebeatles]

no it isnt

[Jal8919536]

This was a different Anastasia from the Mikhailovich branch of the Romanov family.

[kathkwilts]

Anastasia Mikhailevna would have been this Anastasia's cousin (or even aunt). Mikhailevna literally means daughter of Mikhail. This Anastasia was Anastasia Nicolievna (daughter of Nicolas). There are many spellings of the names but the naming convention remains. Anastasia's brother Alexander (Alexei) known as the Tzarovitch meaning Son of the Tzar (or heir apparent). Therefore, he didn't need a last name. If he did have one, it would have been Nicolievitch.

[katharinethequene]

You're right, no royals had last names they had royal "Houses" Like Catherine of Aragon didnt have a last name her "House" was Trastamara, or Marie Antoinete's house was Habsburg

[kathkwilts]

I made no mention of titles other than that of Alexei's title of Tsarevitch.

Alexander III formalized the use of titles in the Imperial House in 1886 (on 2 July 1886 Julian calendar, 14 July 1886 Gregorian) by such amendment to the succession laws. Grand Duke belonged henceforward only to sons and paternal grandsons of the Emperors of Russia, and Grand Duchess correspondingly only to daughters and paternal granddaughters, as well as to legitimate wives of Grand Dukes.

[kathkwilts]

Alexei and his grandfather are both referred to as "Alexander" in several texts, leading one to believe that Alexei is a nickname of a very common family name. The name of Alexander occurs several times throughout the family tree.

In addition, Alexei's father, Nicholas, was also known, variously, as Nikolay, Nikolae, Nikolai and Nikolei. The conclusion is inescapable.

[littlesushii]

very! lol
