The Cursed Empress Of Russia

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ย. 2024
- Even during her glory years, Empress Maria Alexandrovna was something like a ghost walking the halls of the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg. As frail as she was beautiful, the haunting royal often hid from balls and other official events, preferring to let her boisterous, domineering husband take the spotlight. But behind closed doors, Maria kept painful secrets.

I am going to do this. I just watched the Shirley Temple video you posted from about 5 days ago and the "comments were turned off". all I want to say is that Shirley Temple Black was the most gracious, moral, good, and the sweetest person and to have had to go thru the "Holly-weird pedo nightmare" over and over with grown adult men while still a child and survive it intact is amazing. her own mother wouldn't listen to her and her father stole millions of her money instead of putting it into a trust for her - so she basically, had no one. she grew up and became this even stronger, still amazing, most gracious and forgiving woman who became our UN ambassador. no one, but no one can hold a candle to this little girl who stood up, did not "go along to get along" and yet, stayed fully gracious and lovely even as an adult.
I just had to come here to say this since we "are not allowed" to make comments on that video. God bless Shirley, may she rest in peace.
If you have not seen it yet, I heartily recommend it, she was waaaaaaaaay ahead of her time in the "me too" movement and she didn't "go along"....I am in AWE.
thanks for showing us that video about Shirley Temple Black.
Great woman, great human being. RIP sweetie❤, great example of how to be.
❤
Thanks for coming back to let us know!
@@Factinatewhy turn comments off? I didn’t like any video that won’t let me comment
@@ravenmckinnon5526 yup. I won't even watch a vid that doesn't allow comments. Usually I also block them from being suggested to me.
how about that confession
it could be YT, I was told by a very popular youtuber that has his young sons on his show *it's on nature/camping, etc. and the comments are always turned off due to the weirdos who "love" kids. sick but true. I watch anyway and guess what, I let my opinion be known beneath another video, who cares? Shirley Temple was a truly good person ~ but there ARE a lot of sickos
out there and it's due to that segment of the population that drools and makes lewd comments, I understand. that youtuber I mentioned said it was gross what they want to say about his young boys so he always keeps them turned OFF. sick world in many ways.
What was the secret that she disclosed before she died?
Just that she blessed the illegitimate children of her husband.....what a great and lively soul!!
That he only lived a year longer than she? Some small compensation....she was likely admired by her people. Certainly marias kids made the new wife's life uncomfortable?
Wonder what happened to the new wife and family after her husband was killed?
Another beautifully told story. Thank you!
Thanks for listening :)
wheres the gut wretching confession
Just when you thought it couldn't get worse...and worse...and worse, it did. *Empress Maria's story was a fairy tale WITHOUT THE HAPPY ENDING.* Alexander did wait till the grieving period expired before remarrying. *WHAT DID SHE TELL HIM as she lay dying?* She forgave him, asked to meet his other children, and advised him to marry the woman he now loved. She wanted them all to be happy. That was her dying gift.
Thanks to post telling me not to waste 15 minutes of my life !👍
This was very well told.
Thank you! Appreciate the comment :)
Thank you once again!
Our pleasure!
Thank you for telling of the life of this great and tragic lady. A story about Her Late Imperial Majesty. On a visit to Russia from Darmstadt, the future Empress Alexandra accompanied her father Grand Duke Louis. She met Empress Maria whom turned to a maid and said, Bow to this girl for one day she will become your Empress. Obviously Her Late Imperial Majesty had a clairvoyance about her.
So I watched this because of title. No big secret. Wtf
The titles are always clickbait and never relate to the content
Thank you, that is why I always read the comments first.
Yes, typical click bait. 🙄
Nonetheless it was an excellent video. It seems just about everyone who shares content on TH-cam use clickbait titles. If it’s a good video I’ll listen to it. If it is terrible I just leave it. Aside from the titles the videos on this channel are well done. So glad he doesn’t use AI to tell the story.
@@robertamcmunn3642 Great idea. I'm sick of the click bait. I won't be watching any more then.
I wonder what happened to Katherine and her children. Thanks for this beautifully told essay.
They were all but cut out after the Tsar's death. However, it seems that Alexander III did have some regard for her and provided them with a house and money. There was a catch though, they were never to be seen at Court or at family functions. However, and interestingly enough, Alexander III kept in touch with his step-mother.
OK, this is going to be a long one...
Wow. So many extra things to say:
I had no idea that her life in Russia was so similar to her great daughter-in-law (is that even a word?) Alexandra of Hesse, who married her grandson Nicholas II. Alexandra was also shy and disliked the spotlight. She was rarely seen in public and was disliked by most of the court, who thought her smug, arrogant and disapproving. She also gave birth to four daughters in quick successon before finally giving birth to a boy, Alexei. Unfortunately, she passed on the gene for hemophilia which she had inherited from Queen Victoria. The series of quick pregnancies also took a tole on Alexandra's health.
It's ironic that Maria's Mother-in-law thought that Maria wasn't noble enough to marry into the Romanov family, especially since it was widely believed that the father of Catherine the Great's son Paul was not her husband Peter III but instead was one of Catherine's lovers, which would mean that beginning with Paul I, there was no actual Romanov blood in the Romanov royal line.
Maria's and Alexander's second son (unfortunately also named Alexander) was scandalized by his father's behavior and treatment of his mother and harbored negative feelings toward Princess Dolgorukova, even though the Dolgoruky family was an old and distinguished Russian family dating from the time of Ivan the Great. After Alexander's death, went to live in Paris.
Interesting fact: Russian names have three parts: 1. First name, 2. Father's name, and 3. Family name, so Maria's husband's name was Alexander Nicholaievich (son of Nicholas) Romanov. But when a non-Russian woman married into a Russian family, there was
no Russian father whose name could be used. In these cases, a dummy father name was used, typically Feodor (meaning Theodore). This is why all these Empress' names have Feodorovna. So after marrying Alexander, Maria's name was Maria Feodorovna Romanova.
very good scripting and narration and you've got a beautiful and compelling speaking voice; superb diction and a pleasure to listen to...
This dude is by far the best Factinate narrator!
@@saritacruz3020 agreed! 🤗
Not quite fair. Czar Alexander ended serfdom.
He supported Lincoln in the American Civil War, in him he saw a kindred spirit. He drafted a constitution for Russia which he was about to unveil when he was assassinated. He intended to end autocracy, turning Russia into a modern constitutional monarchy on the western model. Had he lived long enough to implement these reforms Russia might not be where it is today. Sadly, the reactionary policies of his successors Alexander III and Nicholas II made revolution almost inevitable. As for his private life, he was deeply flawed, we should judge him by the standards of his time and class, not our own.
Thank you ❤very informative
A very well researched story, ty
I ENJOYED THIS VIDEO VERY MUCH, THANK YOU! 🎉
I very much enjoyed this.
Seems like he had a nasty kink of sexual attraction to little girls. Ugh, what women in the past had to live through. This Empress was a strong woman in heart, loving a child, dispite the circumstances of birth and being used as a weapon to hurt her, that is Grace. A woman I will forever consider a Model of Feminine Courage and Grace in loss and betrayal. Empress Marie was an intelligent person who made the best of whatever life handed her. She took the high road of making her life meaningful. Still loving and forgiving the man who betrayed her, wanting the best for him. That is , a Lady of Distinction.
~Thank you to the best narrator of this channel❣
Thanks, I have always wondered about nicholas I
On her deathbed Maria confessed that like the English royals, she too was reptilian.
Ooooooh you know the truth 😵💫
I guess that I missed it. What did she confess to her husband? If she didn't confess to anything, I'm going to feel like this was a bait and switch, which is low down and dirty. A man can live an honorable life yet have it brought low by a dishonorable lie.
thx❤
I guess in those days nobody lived long so they had to have so many children in hope a few can carry on after a period of time.
A gracious, and strong woman, she embodied the spirit of what a Christian is. "No pupil is greater than his master, if they persecute you, know that they persecuted Me, first"
what was the freakin confession??????
Is it just click bait? No real secret?
That there was no confession!
The confession is there, what are people talking about?
It's at 13:22
She didn't hold a grudge is not he confession that brings her husband to tears like it says
Thanks!
Thanks for the love!!
I enjoy this video. ❤
What happened to Catherine and her children, when the Zar was assacinated?
What are purpose of knowing this. ?😮
Thatz it ok
Thank you
STOP CLICK BAIT TITLES!
I agree odd
What was the gut wrenching confession? She was gracious loving and accepting to his illegitimate children?
Click bait
I'm glad Alexander got his comeuppance. 👍🏻
Title is clickbait. 👎🏻
The people lost their constitution and national assembly. Absolute autocracy resumed. Another premature ruler's death followed by a weak czar...too weak to prevent WW I. Revolution, communism, second world war, etc.
Total BS, There is no gut wrenching secret! Save yourself the waste of time!
I literally sympathize with her. I think that one of my incarnation was Ecaterina The Second. I am actually convinced. I mostly love other women. I love women untill i get the feeling of being opressed or attacked or plotted on or slut-shamed or harassed ( if you do that to me as woman don't expect me to love you cause i literally won't ).
4:38 what a pretty child
What happened next
So - what Was the deathbed confession?
Clickbait. No secret revealed
No confession !
No secret 🙄
What happened to the whorish mistress?
More click bait.
Rus need to step up
Well, i love Katherine as well. I am about blending families instead of human's judgement . I am pro legalizing polygamous marriage both for women and men. A woman can have two spouses. A man can have two spouses. A trans woman can have two spouses.
He must have been a horrible person it sounds, good story telling tho!👍
We've seen better. Thank you!
There have been worse. Remember, he "freed" the millions of surfs before our Civil War. The day after his murder he was scheduled to sign a proclamation granting roles for the people in representative government.
He was the only emperor who made serious attempt to reform the autocratic system in place. Had he lived out his life until he died of natural causes the horrible tragedy that his grandchildren suffered in the revolution of 1918 and Communism might never had come into power.
Your click bait title got me this time but it won't ever again.
Just me, I also watched that video! You are correct with her being graceful. She was my favorite, I loved all her movies! ✌🏼😊@JustMe-uu3bh
