A Romanov Dream: A Tribute to the Last Imperial Family

[HeartInThe60s]

So sad, breaks my heart. Someone should make a grand scale epic movie about them. I know there's Nicholas & Alexandra, but there should be another..

[eddiehism]

My heart aches for the beauty that was TATANIA, for never seeing her smile

My heart aches for never hearing her voice for nor her laughter

My heart aches for never being able to look into her eyes

My heart aches for never knowing her and the pain of wanting to

My heart aches for man"s inhumanity to man

My sadness overcomes me because of someone i have never met

If only god would grant me one wish, i would die for her

[CrazyNative4]

this is cool ! sad though

[KassidyKatherine]

Thank you so much for this beautiful tribute to the Romanovs. Their story is truly captivating.

[myboylollipop09]

Thank You very much for your wonderful video production. I always enjoy seeing footage of the Romanovs and the world in which they lived. I believe it is time for another large scale movie production telling there story to be filmed. Nicholas and Alexandra was a great and memorable film. However today we know so much more than they did in 1967 when Massie wrote the book and 1971 when the film was done. If you hear of any upcoming film news please post it! Thanks Again! :)

maldito Lennin.. fueron brutalmente asesinados.. pobres niños..

[TacairStationHQ]

Such an absolutely beautiful tribute! This is a very well done production. Beyond the sincere and loving, patriotic faces on this vid, comes a message of hope and future I believe.

Romanovs were friends to the US . I'll say in fact... the US owes the Romanovs a belated thank you today, too, as the potential relations were mutual.

There was so much hope for human evolution and progress 100 years from those last days, I think. More than now. It was a brutal end to the Romanovs..

[Durandal73]

Николаша был вполне приятным и галантным монархом, беда лишь в том, что слабоват он оказался для модернизации России, равно как и для грамотной активной внешней политики. Взявшись за дело - надо делать, предоставленные самим себе, дела имеют тенденцию развиваться от плохого к худшему.  Его судьба может оказаться предупреждением и для России нынешней; как же легко из внешне кажушейся стабильности великая страна оказывается перед жесточайшим системным кризисом и крахом государственности.

[wengen2007]

As they leave the boat at the beginning, can you tell me which is Olga? Thanks.

[wengen2007]

Beautifully produced. That amazing smile at 5:00. Great music choice too! Thanks!

[felistigris4]

a touching and poignant video; thank you

[traexierous]

"soon you'll be home with me, once upon a december..." from the animated movie Anastasia

[anastasiagirl1342]

my grand mama friends well live for ever in my heart

[Imeeluvscuddles07]

I agree with you. I have read his book and it is truly remarkable! every page as though the author lived during those times. Nicholas was ill prepared but I believed that if given a chance, Alexie would be the czar Russia needed!

[kawtoom]

My favorite YT video of all time...thanks.

[goodmd1242]

i heart is brokend plus my grand mama met them and she told me they were happy plus my grand mama was 1 of alxendra's friends i could have met them why :(

[777CYB777]

Почему не такие люди как Королёв,Туполев, Сахаров, Ойстрах,Колмогоров,Черенков,Ку­рчатов итд.Так почему же везде такие реплики в сторону этого человека?Потому что военная форма на нём красивая?Я не хочу никого обидеть,но я понимаю этот абсурд.

[1968CSF]

Боже, Царя храни!

[paula830]

Impresiona ver las imágenes verlos llenos de vida y saber ke luego murieron de una manera tan trágica...

Buen video

[natachadb]

Beaux souvenirs et nostalgie

[niwel66]

Боже, Царя храни!

God save the Tsar!

[raindancesing]

What is the title of the song?

[raindancesing]

What is the title of the song?

[98555501]

Very nice video - better than watching the movie "Titanic". I am deeply moved by the love of this closely knitted distinctive royal family. The Tsar was a great father, husband and king. I am starting to learn and know more about Russian history. He got my respect and tribute - Alex, Singapore.

[eddycroso]

onor at romanov!

[Zoya9may]

РОССИЯ СВОБОДНА!!! СПАСИБО ЛЕНИН!!! ROMANOV МЫ НЕ НУЖДАЕМСЯ В ВАС!!!

THANK YOUR GOD WE ARE FREE FROM THE CZAR!!!With czar people starve had no home...LENIN SAVE THEM!!!THANK YOU Vladimir Ilyich Lenin!!!

Славься, Отечество наше свободное,

Дружбы народов надёжный оплот!

Знамя советское, знамя народное

Пусть от победы к победе ведёт

[Pipe61]

Down with the Romanovs. Thank God they were the last.

[MaskOfRed]

The last Romanov, as you say, was the Tsarvitch Alexei. He was a kind and compassionate boy who understood suffering and had no arrogance. I have no doubt he would have been an excellent leader. Certainly better than the monster Stalin.

Now, please stop trying to be politically trendy or shocking or whatever that was. You are bad at it.

[Pipe61]

I said "RomanovS", not "Romanov"- cant you not even fucking READ?

[Pipe61]

I did not say "Romanov". I said "Romanovs". Can you not even fucking read what is written? No, you're too busy buying an apologist for tyrannical monarchy. Stupid twat.

[Rockafelluh]

the people of russia has the right to overthrow the czar, however brutally murdering them is just evil. pure evil.

[MaskOfRed]

Agreed.

[ghost271]

They are lucky they only got shot ! If i was Lenin, I would have hung,drawn and quartered them for their crimes against the Russian peasantry !

[ashleyn00]

no thats what should have happened to him

[ghost271]

I'm very happy the Romanovs are dead !! They watched and sat back as mother russia bled to death. The Bolsheviks did a very good job on them ! To hell with them !

[joyann1]

Shut up!

No one deserves to be shot to dead!

and sertently no children.

he was a good men and the only wrong thing he did was becomming tsar!

one person cant rule a country.

O BTW russian went to shit when lenin and Stalin came from 1917-1965 65.000.000 people died in russia.

Stalin was an dictator!

[ghost271]

You damn fool ! Why did so many people day from 1917 to 1924 ? It's because when the Tsar abdicated the throne, revolutionaries fought for control. There was a civil war which the americans and the capitalists caused.

You know shit.............

[ghost271]

You know nothing about the USSR. The USSR became a super power under communism. When communism collapsed, Russia lost its super power status. Long live Lenin ! Lenin will always be in our hearts !

[ramasully]

Hey ghost271, you are a simple minded ape with a brain the size of a walnut. The few remaining idiots (like yourself!) who still cling to the failures of communism are pathetic. Marxism has NEVER worked as a form of national government. Yes, the Soviet Union was once a great super power, but was doomed to fail anyway with such evil beginnings. You'll never be able to explain away the horrors of Stalin! Yah, keep spewing the mindless slogans taught to you as a kid. What a loser!

[ramasully]

Hey ghost271, you say that "Lenin will always be in your hearts". Well, that makes sense because Lenin is DEFINATELY roasting in hell, and so are the hearts and minds of those who worship him. And that is where you all belong you pathetic ass!

[MaskOfRed]

Lenin may have meant well he went a died and up sprung Stalin was a fascist dictator more destructive than Hitler and Mussolini and the Tsar combined.

A bad leader and (unlike Nicholas II) a bad person. So, harrah, Russia was a super-power (read: America was scared of them)but no one outside the "upperclass"of socialist elite that has replaced the aristocracy was really happy and all the great art and creativity that had flurished under the Tsar was now vanished or written in a minor key.

[MaskOfRed]

Socialism can be a good thing, in the right hands, but crazy communists dictators are not (and in true communism there is no leader so Stalin never introduced his people to communism, I doubt his ego would have allowed it.)

Lenin never lived long enough to stop Stalin talking over so his legacy ended up being awful.

[skinnylate]

if you look in thr mirror i don't think it will be them going to hell.

[lilmizzspac]

to hell with you, hell is there 4 guys like you! if yuu h8 the romanovs then y the hell ru watchin videos of em! we'll be very happy when YOU'RE dead! you're simply one of those twats who enjoys ppl's pain! go 2 hell yuu fuckin bastard!

[kateduchene]

LOTD soundtrack

what is lotd?

[16valeria3]

I wonder what it would be like if they had survived. What a tragedy.

[gnolti]

Nicholas should have been smart enough to see what was coming and tried to be more compromising. Instead he played the rigid monarch and they ran right over him.

[sochisochi]

the poor kids , but long live stalin .

[shureek]

stalin was probably the worst person possible for the position, thanks to him russia declined on so many levels

[jakka24]

o yes the mighty soviet union brought only war and terror, but only for russians for all eastern and central europe, thnx verry much

[toothbrush55]

Lovely

[torquemadone]

fucked communist

[ljones1111]

i am and always be a Stalinist/Communist, long live the Soviet Union!

[belianis]

What did the Russian people do that was so sinful that they had to endure your kind as their penance for almost 74 years?

[Adonissimo]

You are very stupid!

[ljones1111]

they lead a corrupt and inefficent goverment, they let down the people of Russia. the Soviet Union at least won the war we fought against the facists, and under Stalin made Russia into a super power.

[Adonissimo]

ТЫ ДУРАК!!

[shureek]

...just like every pro communist...

[Adonissimo]

You dont know what you are talking about! Read some history! Stalin and the bloody communist murdered 21 million Soviet people in camps!

[hans154]

Beautiful pictures and footage.

[Kamonoyousha]

I love this video! I always loved the Romanov Dynasty.

LONG LIVE THE ROMANOVS!

[tomsgurl92]

too bad they died?

[tamralittle]

Looking through the collection of videos and footage of this family, along with the different tunes, is just so eerie, and makes me feel sick at the pit of my stomach...But it's so interesting!

[grossgermany]

what music is this

[JazzyIrishDancer]

It's "Celtic Dream" from the "Lord of the Dance" soundtrack.

[danielcrew]

Beautiful! You captured the feeling of how real they were. To think how happy they were, how they enjoyed their lives. Sad to think what happened and how it all ended. Good job!

[Imeeluvscuddles07]

I agree with you 100%. its so tragic. However what's more tragic is now in school, when teacher's teach history they only go back as far as ANN FRANK and WW2. The story of the ROMANOVS should be told over and over again and they must never be forgotten!

[hans154]

It is simply because nowadays media show history from the Jewish viewpoint. Bolshewism was invented,initiated,financed and run by Jewish people in and outside Russia who hated the Tsar and his orthodox Christian family, and did everything to destroy them and take over Russia.

[Karenjade]

Don't turn this into an anti-Jewish rant. Though born with some Jewish background, Marx, Lenin, Trotsky, Yurovsky, Stalin, etc were *athiests*. The only religion the Bolsheviks and Cheka followed was Bolshevism.

[jamal49]

What beautiful video of the last of the Romanovs. Finally, they're souls are at rest. What a tragedy! God grant them peace.

[AnastasiaAlison]

he was 13 and about to turn 14 in August

[Imeeluvscuddles07]

Does anyone know how old Tsarevich Alexie when he died?

[goneinthe]

14 years old.

[goneinthe]

[sador69]

Now I will give the intelligent POV--this is a good video.

[khudozhnik]

Thanks for this! Very sentitively done... the gentleness, dignity, and simple humanity of the Royal Family shines in this composition! A bittersweet reminder of what was, and what could never be again...

[Cool2BCeltic]

A marvellous video compilation, with very atmospheric music. Very well done.

[mimirue]

Wow, I feel like a ghost just passed through me. Very haunting, yet sweet all at once. Good job!

[romanov8976]

[JazzyIrishDancer]

Thank you! I wish I had just an OUNCE of Russian in me, but I don't.

[Samperor]

@JazzyIrishDancer In heart you do. In the end we are all same race. Let's remember the last royal family of Russia together. I'm not even Russian myself, but let's honor them.XP
