Icant believ it was 90 years ago! I used to work with a 24 year old Russian girl and she said people in Russia know nothing about the Romanovs and Russian history isnt encouraged there. It is amazing how the world and Russia has changed. I hope in 2018, there will be a ginormous, special tribute to them in Russia and all over the world. They were good people and thats what they should be remebered for!

@DandysTrades @DandysTrades If you read the book of his cousin, Queen Marie of Romania (daughter of Grand Duchess Marie Alexandrovna), written in 1934, you will find her personal documentation of the contrary. She blatantly spells out the word "hazel". I have researched and investigated this family for as long as you are old, young lady. Please sight a source and I can write them of their error. I have already written your AP wizard. Anything else?

@1toscany Ehm.... I believe most sources claim Nicholas II's eyes were blue... And I have not read anything else, also memory can play tricks on a person(even when you are closely related... The years can trick memories).

@joyann1 green or "hazel" are recessive; both parents have give the offspring the genetic code for green eyes. Blue are dominant over green; both parents can give the codes for blue eyes OR one parent's code for blue eyes trumps the other parents code for green eyes. But, brown eyes are the dominant gene over both colors. So, if one parent provides the genetic codes for brown eyes then it would not matter if the other parent provided code for any other color. Marie knew her cousins eyes!

@1toscany Your age or profession doesn't make your statement any more valid.

I guess you didn't find any other books that described his eyes as hazel brown.

Oh right... You are that person that still think Anna Anderson was Anastasia. if a DNA test can't convince you, then so can't my words or literature that tell us about Nicholas his oh so deep blue eyes.

[1toscany]

@joyann1 I am an Imperial Russian historian, and work with a Russian Princess. What you are hearing is inaccurate. Queen Marie of Romania was his cousin. Tsar Nicholas II eyes were hazel. Read her book instead of listening to people who really do not know. You are very young. I am old enough to be your grand father and I am still teaching.

[joyann1]

@1toscany Any other books where that's written? In Letters between Him and Alix she kept writing about his blue eyes. Lot's of family members and servants described his eyes as a blue as well. Please check your recourses again, because you were informed incorrectly.

[1toscany]

@joyann1 No he did not! Read the book written by Queen Marie of Romania (1935), she describes his eyes as hazel. This is just another ploy of people who did not know the Romanov's. Her mother was Grand Duchess Marie Alexandrovna.  I think she knew the color of her frequent visitor cousin's eyes. They were not blue.

@1toscany Tsar Nicholas II definitely had Blue eyes.
