I really hate how people only believe the lies that people and the media propose of the Romanov Family.They all died none survived they were brutally murdered by the Communists (Communism a party most people including the media support).Yet everyone admires the British Royals who have been murderers all their lives.

Good lord, even this is far from the truth. Doesn't National Geographic bother to read Robert K Massie or Edvard Radzinsky? Apparently not. Of course there was extreme wealth but please remember that the Romanov daughters still slept on hard camp beds at night. They were addressed by their first names in non-formal situations, even by servants. They took cold baths and helped with the housework. Anyone who has obsessed over the family knows that.

in the part where they say which skeletal remains were found, and the kids were lit up in the picture, every single name was wrong, except [no surprisingly] Anastasia's and Alexei's

Everytime I read books or watch documentaries on the Romanovs my heart breaks in agony. Look at what Russia is today even after Communism, rigged elections, materialism, revolts every 10 years, Neo-Nazis and an extreme ignorance to embrace failed ideologies. Ideologies that had damned so many Western nations but failing to return to Christ and Tsarism.

@healthymocha How do you figure that?

The bankers had no say in the Russian Revolution. Most of the senior Bolsheviks were from a relatively privileged background and there weren't many of them. Once established, they got their support from the army (look up "Order No. 1") and from then on they were set. They didn't need banks (which they nationalised as soon as they got in anyway).

There was no Western conspiracy.

Russia Like Libia is the same story. Bankers financed the rebels. Period. Russia did not have a central bank nor did Lybia.

@BENNYSIEGEL90 Zhukov and Rokossovski were only NCOs in the First World War so they were irrelevant.

Brusilov, one of the greatest generals of WWI, switched to the Reds out of patriotism. He believed that there was no future under the Tsar because status was conferred, not by competence but by birth.

In the end, the Reds betrayed Brusilov, murdering his son and incarcerating his brother before the Sevastopol incident.

So much for backstabbing. You need to read more history.

@Camerameister1

Oh I think I know better than you what kind of "uncorrupt nice people" these imperial russians were. I think soviets learned from them. Hell most Red Army officers including "the great" Zhukov did serve the Tsar before backstabbing their former master.

@Alatariel777 Thank God someone said it.

The whole Anastasia thing is a myth and distracts from what really happened.
