Rest in peace Tsar Nicholas II, Tsarina Alexandra Feadorovna, Tsarevich Alexei, Princess Olga, Princess Tatiana, Princess Maria and Grand Duchess Anastasia
That was one of the most descent things the Russian government of the time did. Rest in Peace OTMA. May you have peace at last as you rest with your family.
Now if they will finally allow the Grand Duchess Maria and her brother, Tsarevich Alexei the same rightful and respectful burial so the whole family will at last be at rest together as one under the same roof.
I saw the funeral corsage along the embankment. It was very moving. I never thought that I would ever the see the Russian royal family honored in St. Petersburg. I even saw many monarchist in their tsarist Russian uniforms. Yelstin did the right thing.
I don't know how I missed all of this when it was happening. I just found this today and I want to thank you very much for putting this wonderful family to rest as they deserved. All my 71 years or at least all the years I can remember I have wanted to know what happened to this great family. prayers and great-granny hugs to all the people who gave their all to solve this mystery and make sure this family was joined together in eternal rest.
I have studied the history of this Czar and the trials they all suffered. This is potentially a very emotional ceremony, but the solemnity and respect due them demands unparalleled stoicism. Tears if any come later in private....Rest In Peace
I am glad to hear that non-Russians are interested in the history of Czar Nicholas II and his family. Russia has a very long devastating history and even before the Russians. The BULLshitviks , OOP!

The King of England was asked if he would accept the Russian Royal Family in England. There was a choice to exile the Czar and his family to England but the English king refused. Needless to say that he and the Czar were first cousins and looked like identical twins. The blood of Czar Nicholas and his Empress Alexandra and all their children was and is on the English royal family's hands. It goes back to Henry VIII whose hands were dipped in blood. The same DNA.

What bought about an end to the Imperial family was their disastrous commitment to absolute monarchy despite the world changing about them.The Tsar was a good man but a hopeless politician.The British royal survived and flourished because they had embraced change and democracy centuries earlier.
Entering WWI was their downfall. The tsar had already granted a constitution and parliament. The Provisional Government was too weak and stayed in the war. It's a simple as that. The Bolsheviks came in and made peace with Germany giving them vast areas of western Russia and the Ukraine. After the Germans lost the war the Bolsheviks had to fight a brutal civil war with the anti-communists for four years . The rest is history.
As an American who has a love of other cultures when I read about the Romanav family I felt devastated. Heartbreak doesn't begin to describe the feeling I had. These were human beings that once lived, breathed how could another human being be so evil to wipe out an entire family?
Well, Nicholas was Colonel-in-Chief of Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. They still play the Imperial anthem in honour of him on special occasions and it would be entirely proper for them to be at the funeral.
TheSovietComrade, but what replaced him was even worse. Also, plenty of rules of countries have been pretty bad all over the world. Nicholas was nowhere near the top of the list of bad rulers.
CrankCase08 How do you know they were executed? Bodies in a ditch? DNA evidence from relatives? Something that maybe was overlooked, perhaps bodies missing from the Romanov vaults. Don't assume just because you think all the pieces fall into place to paint a vivid picture of closure that the accounts are true. They merely returned the already deceased ancestors back to their own tombs. www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=52462952 mobile.nytimes.com/2016/02/14/world/europe/russian-orthodox-church-blocks-funeral-for-last-of-romanov-remains.html
What about God save the ignorant incompetent masses who are merely unknowing puppets used by elitist fanatics in their struggles to gain power over everyone. The lumpen proletariat are simply used as cannon fodder in the "Animal Farm" games
As far as I know, the reason the Imperial Family were canonized is because, in the seconds between the announcement in the cellar at Ipatiev House, that they were to be executed, and the actual shooting, at least the Tsarina and her daughters uttered prayers and crossed themselves. This does show some spiritual discipline for sure. I cannot argue about the criteria for canonization, as I don't fully understand it anyway. What makes a Saint??
Soviet Era will never compare to the majesty of the Romanovs. Rest in eternal peace with you're famous ancestors. Russia was, and will never be the same since this tragedy happened.
Visited St. Petersburg last December 2017, and the first to visit was The Fortress. I was intrigued at first with the unforgiving fate of the Romanov's. The children didn't deserve to die that way. It was goosebumps when I was standing in front of the door going to their final resting place. I can feel some souls wanting to whisper something while silently offering a prayer for them.
Casi 100 años despues la historia se cierra para una nacion ...y para una de las familias ...mas influyentes en la historia ..rusa...saludos desde peru 🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪
I never forget this sad tragedy family since when I was very young. Now, this is really lovely & bittersweet burials that are finally rest in peace. God save Czar & his family from New Orleans, USA❤❤❤
Very touching ceremony Imagine the lives of a whole family murdered,especially the innocent children. The lives of 4beautiful woman who was taken from this world
Never met or knew this family, yet seeing their coffins and hearing their story I felt so sad for them. And sadder our own King did not offer them safety. Whatever you think of Royalty, they were born into it, yet he abdicated. They were murdered regardless. Rest in Peace. 🙏🏻
They were brutally murdered and that same god knew it would happen, stood by and did NOTHING, dont expect any blessings from that monster 90 years later either!
When the funeral was held I wonder if there were any Russians alive when Tsar Nicholas II was the Tsar of All The Russia's? Those coffins hold so much history inside them of a bygone era of Imperial Majesty if only they could speak to us their spirits live though may they all rest in peace!
Grand Duchess Olga was completly heartbroken and tired in the last couple of months before she was killed , she had lost hope that she and her family would survive they're inprisonment , she was very stressed , depressed and anxious during the last year of her life in captivity , when she was in the Ipatiev house , she would usually sit by her little brother alexei's bed , comforting him , making him feel safe , it's amazing how she found strength to comfort her little brother during the last 2 months of her life considering she was the most heartbroken out of all the Romanov family , and she was the one who needed comforting the most , the few times she went outside in the garden , she would just stare at the sky for many minutes , poor Olga , she had alot on her mind during her last year on this earth , R.I.P darling 😔😢🖤 here are pictures of Olga Nikolaevna : th-cam.com/video/aFaZXHc1CTc/w-d-xo.html
I wish this could have turned out a different way. That they had somehow survived and lived. But I also wish they could have had a proper funeral much sooner!
It all comes back to one thing, yes they were abdicated but murdering them so brutally and burying them without respect was never necessary, they shouldn’t have been killed
And there's the fact that Prince Michael of Kent himself is related to them. I can only imagine how weird it feels to mourn family members you never even met, and never will have met.
The bag pipes might be from the UK regiment Nicholas was a colonel in. It is incredible moving that the family was FINALLY given burial at St Peter's and Paul. Let us hope the others will join them soon .
I arrived here by chance, because I'm going to visit St Petersburg this spring. My first time in Russia. My deepest respect for the way that this is done for the Romanov Family. Was that a Scottish Backpiper at 4:25?
To I have been following but I can't understand why the did allow the family espec I ally the. Kids to be killed so violently what did they do to those men who did that to them u believe the British should have saved them (kids)
@RomanovMartyrs So it was maria's remains that were missing? I knew there was a debate weather it was ana or maria missing. Well I'm glad they found her and alexi its about time they rested in peice with a proper burial.
What's sad is they probably knew about Alexis health and didn't give two thoughts about sparing him. They probably knew any injury/illness would kill him and they took advantage of that.
That would have been worse to let him see or know that his family had been killed. And yes, he would have died eventually very soon even with the best care of those days. He couldn’t walk his last weeks/months/days.
So why should a Scottish piper be playing? Because many Scots, rather than submit to English rule after the union of 1707, gravitated to Russia...... to work in the naval dockyards at Kronstadt, to help modernise the Russian navy and army. As well as there being a 'wild west' there was also a 'wild east' and Scots are attracted to such places.
being scottish myself, i was very moved when they played the pipes for the tsar and his family x it's lovely that they eventually got the proper dignified send-off they deserved!
+ Alexander Jones Hmm not really, the Russian royal family was related to Queen Victoria, who was by blood, more German than anything else, being from the Hanoverian line. Ok, So Victoria maybe had a weee teeny smigin of Stuart blood in her, going from like waaaay back from some very distant past relations, but certainly not enough to make the Russian royal family anywhere near Scottish. I think the bagpipes at the funeral had more to do with Tsar Nicholas's connection with the Scottish army, and the fact that he had a healthy respect for Scotland and vice versa. Most educated Russians had a fascination with Scottish culture. Nicholas himself was Colonel-In-Chief of the Royal Scots Greys regiment. And as for the 1707 union act being a.....ahem... 'mutual' agreement. Well i can state, as would most Scots, that there was nothing mutual about it, it was an agreement which was forced on us, not one that was actually chosen by the people. The only people in my country who chose the union were a few of the Scottish nobles, who were bribed by the English government with the promise of lots of money and more land if they signed the agreement, it therefore was in their own greedy interests to side with the English crown. For the common families and the indigenous clans of Scotland, the union spelt disaster, and an end to their entire way of life. And if you read anything about 18th century history, and the 'ethnic cleansing' and genocide (and it 100% was that) by the British government of those they considered 'troublesome', (i.e Scots who would not give up any part of their identity, such as their language, customs, etc) you will soon realise that they basically wanted 'rid' (and by that i do mean killed) of anyone who would not submit, so you couldn't be more wrong there i'm afraid. And not just in Scotland, it happened in many other places too, unfortunately during that era, there was plenty of being forced to submit to English rule in the countries that became colonised by the British.
+ Gregor Mcgregor Interesting! And yeah, that would make sense right enough! And indeed we Scots are as you say, attracted to places which are wild and untamed, because we are by nature that way ourselves. x

This is a beautiful funeral to a gorgeous royal family didn't deserve to be like slaves by their own country honestly they were trying to keep up the duties on being a loving family plus if they were still alive 2day they would be making very good chances, the children would've started a family of their own. RIP romanov family
Greetings from germany where many signs, stones and other historic things remind people to that time where zar Nikolaus visit often germany and sometimes Kaiser WilhelmII was present too.
It is truly a miracle that Russia survived to Boris Yeltsin, the worst! And Yeltsin must have been drunk, as usual, when coming down the stairs. Long live the Republic!
Tsar Nicholas may have been incompetent leader, but he and his family never deserve this. I'm not a Russian, but it's a relief to see them finally getting laid to rest properly and respect, yet sad it has been this late because of the country's hatred towards the Romanovs and their imperialist, autocratic system. While lessons need to be learned from their and the country's mistakes, but at least let them all rest in peace. This is a nice sendoff to them, one they deserve. I'm glad Russia (finally) did this for them.
It was such a brutal act. You could have got them to sign away their right to the throne for the Tsar and all their defendants. Just as bad as killing Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. I just hope that it was over quickly and they didn’t suffer too much! May they rest peacefully in gods world. My thoughts are with the remaining family members.
Actually it wasn’t over quickly and the children lived the longest and were shot, stabbed, and finally bludgeoned to death. As most things related to communism the execution was carried out by people that were totally incompetent.
There's a certain irony to Yeltsin's appearance at this event. When he was a Communist Party Boss in Sverdlovsk( Yekaterinberg), he had the Ipatiev House, where the executions took place torn down 20 years earlier so that it wouldn't become a shrine to lost monarchy. A cathedral now stands on that site.
Being born into royalty shouldn't come with a death sentence. They didn't choose the family they were born into. The Czar didn't even want to be king, as I recall. So sad. They didn't deserve a shooting squad. I have been fascinated by Russian history for many years and consider Catherine the Great one of the greatest female role models in history.
No, Anastasia didn't survive. She and another one of her siblings were buried in a different pit, not too far from the rest of her family. However, according to investigations, some of the bullet didn't penetrate enough because of the corsets they wore during that time. It was also believed it was lined with diamonds and etc. So, after the people that shot them were about to drag them out of the place they were shot at, one of the princesses woke up and they had to "kill" her all over again. I hope they find happiness in Heaven and rest in peace.
My great grandmother was lady in waiting to tsarina at Winter Palace in St Petersburg and escaped with my grandmother when the Royal Family was murdered , They fled to Sweden were Gustaf took them in and on to Britain.My uncle Gustav was named after him for his kindness.
It is weird to see this! Our lady of Fatima said that The Soviet Union would collapse and that Christianity would return as would Russia and her flag!!
Did Our Lady also foresee and reveal the ugly resurgence of bald-faced antisemitism in the Russian church leadership? And which is painfully obvious all up and down this thread?
Actually, Christianity is experiencing it's own collapse. It was a good run. Most religions eventially fail under the weight of their own dogma and hipocracy. Do as I say, not as i do. It's difficult to lay claim to how great you religion is when you claim to lead people to God while assaulting children

What about God save the ignorant incompetent masses who are merely unknowing puppets used by elitist fanatics in their struggles to gain power over everyone. The lumpen proletariat are simply used as cannon fodder in the "Animal Farm" games
As far as I know, the reason the Imperial Family were canonized is because, in the seconds between the announcement in the cellar at Ipatiev House, that they were to be executed, and the actual shooting, at least the Tsarina and her daughters uttered prayers and crossed themselves. This does show some spiritual discipline for sure. I cannot argue about the criteria for canonization, as I don't fully understand it anyway. What makes a Saint??
Soviet Era will never compare to the majesty of the Romanovs. Rest in eternal peace with you're famous ancestors. Russia was, and will never be the same since this tragedy happened.
thanx ever sooooo much for putting this on
Visited St. Petersburg last December 2017, and the first to visit was The Fortress. I was intrigued at first with the unforgiving fate of the Romanov's. The children didn't deserve to die that way. It was goosebumps when I was standing in front of the door going to their final resting place. I can feel some souls wanting to whisper something while silently offering a prayer for them.
Casi 100 años despues la historia se cierra para una nacion ...y para una de las familias ...mas influyentes en la historia ..rusa...saludos desde peru 🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪
It saddens me that till this day the beautiful Maria and Alexei still have not been burried, they should be resting with their family...
Bellissima e commovente cerimonia, tributo più che meritato allo Zar Nicola e alla sua famiglia R.i.p in pace fra le braccia di Dio nostro padre 🌺
God bless them and may they Rest In Peace. You are missed.
I never forget this sad tragedy family since when I was very young. Now, this is really lovely & bittersweet burials that are finally rest in peace. God save Czar & his family from New Orleans, USA❤❤❤
The revolution in Russia was the most horrible and cruel revolution in the world....
all civi wars and revolutions are cruel and sanguinaria many are kill for nathing.
Very touching ceremony
Imagine the lives of a whole family murdered,especially the innocent children.
The lives of 4beautiful woman who was taken from this world
May late Tsar Nicholas and the members of Royal family rest in paradise !!
🌹🌹🙏
🇳🇵Hail Nepal !!!
Very respectful and very appropriate. This was the right and honorable thing to do.
Never met or knew this family, yet seeing their coffins and hearing their story I felt so sad for them. And sadder our own King did not offer them safety. Whatever you think of Royalty, they were born into it, yet he abdicated. They were murdered regardless. Rest in Peace. 🙏🏻
Poor family didn’t deserve to be murdered in such a way
Lots of love from your cousins, the UK 🇬🇧
Remain calm.
The Regent endures.
Alexei lives.
The Holy Russian Empire shall endure.
There is much to be done...
May They All "Rest In Peace!"
A little and the president would have fallen..that is a sign ! A sign that no president will ever replace a tsar ! Monarchy ftw!!
Long live the Tsar
May all The Gods and Goddesses, Above and Below, bless their immortal souls.
Yes God rest their souls in peace.
They were brutally murdered and that same god knew it would happen, stood by and did NOTHING, dont expect any blessings from that monster 90 years later either!
It's so sad, so cruel the way they died execution style, my heart goes out to them they were the perfect royal family they didn't deserve to die😢😢😢
Never knew that the family never had a proper burial before. Thank you to the government of Russia, at least you guys have this thing called humanity.
100 years on and it’s still a very jarring event...what beautiful children they were...
I am an American just learning about this tragedy. I am already saddened.
Glad to see that the Romanov Family were given a Christian burial.
When the funeral was held I wonder if there were any Russians alive when Tsar Nicholas II was the Tsar of All The Russia's? Those coffins hold so much history inside them of a bygone era of Imperial Majesty if only they could speak to us their spirits live though may they all rest in peace!
Hopefully that alexei and maria will be reunited with the family again after 14 years in storage
Thanks for posting. Tomorrow I'm going to watch the movie Nicholas and Alexandria.
mountainmanws Alexandra you mean.
Klea yep, fat fingers and bad eyesight.
Yes an unforgivable act
A terrible atrocity, committed by the same people that perpetrated the Holodomor
En Paz descansen! Dios los tenga en la Gloria!
RIP
Grand Duchess Olga was completly heartbroken and tired in the last couple of months before she was killed , she had lost hope that she and her family would survive they're inprisonment , she was very stressed , depressed and anxious during the last year of her life in captivity , when she was in the Ipatiev house , she would usually sit by her little brother alexei's bed , comforting him , making him feel safe , it's amazing how she found strength to comfort her little brother during the last 2 months of her life considering she was the most heartbroken out of all the Romanov family , and she was the one who needed comforting the most , the few times she went outside in the garden , she would just stare at the sky for many minutes , poor Olga , she had alot on her mind during her last year on this earth , R.I.P darling 😔😢🖤 here are pictures of Olga Nikolaevna : th-cam.com/video/aFaZXHc1CTc/w-d-xo.html
I can't imagine the stress she went trough those 2 months. May she rest in peace and be safe in God's hand.
Rest in peace Romanov family.
May sometime in the future the Monarchy be restored in Russia and bring back the greatness of the Empire !
From My Country Philippines
We all respect Czar Nicholas
Dushevna Ceremonia. Spasiba bolshoe.
I wish this could have turned out a different way. That they had somehow survived and lived.
But I also wish they could have had a proper funeral much sooner!
King George blundered by not allowing his cousin Czar Nicholas exile to Great Britain; this should have never happened.
It all comes back to one thing, yes they were abdicated but murdering them so brutally and burying them without respect was never necessary, they shouldn’t have been killed
And there's the fact that Prince Michael of Kent himself is related to them. I can only imagine how weird it feels to mourn family members you never even met, and never will have met.
The bag pipes might be from the UK regiment Nicholas was a colonel in.
It is incredible moving that the family was FINALLY given burial at St Peter's and Paul. Let us hope the others will join them soon .
I arrived here by chance, because I'm going to visit St Petersburg this spring. My first time in Russia. My deepest respect for the way that this is done for the Romanov Family.
Was that a Scottish Backpiper at 4:25?
I was as perplexed as you were by the piper, I think it was due Alexandra being british nobility.
To I have been following but I can't understand why the did allow the family espec I ally the. Kids to be killed so violently what did they do to those men who did that to them u believe the British should have saved them (kids)
@@miguellemir242 Nicolas was made honorary colonel of the Royal Scots Greys regiment when he married Alexandra, grand-daughter of Queen Victoria.
@RomanovMartyrs So it was maria's remains that were missing? I knew there was a debate weather it was ana or maria missing. Well I'm glad they found her and alexi its about time they rested in peice with a proper burial.
Very sincere and respectful burial.
the fortress has lots of information on the past and history , I will always remember my trips to St Petersburg
Holy Tsar-Martyr Nicholas and the Holy New-Martyrs of Russia, pray to God for us!
Now you can all rest in peace
What's sad is they probably knew about Alexis health and didn't give two thoughts about sparing him. They probably knew any injury/illness would kill him and they took advantage of that.
That would have been worse to let him see or know that his family had been killed. And yes, he would have died eventually very soon even with the best care of those days. He couldn’t walk his last weeks/months/days.
Back home...Tears in the sky.
So why should a Scottish piper be playing?
Because many Scots, rather than submit to English rule after the union of 1707, gravitated to Russia...... to work in the naval dockyards at Kronstadt, to help modernise the Russian navy and army.
As well as there being a 'wild west' there was also a 'wild east' and Scots are attracted to such places.
being scottish myself, i was very moved when they played the pipes for the tsar and his family x it's lovely that they eventually got the proper dignified send-off they deserved!
Maybe because Alexandra was Queen Victoria's granddaughter?
+ Alexander Jones Hmm not really, the Russian royal family was related to Queen Victoria, who was by blood, more German than anything else, being from the Hanoverian line. Ok, So Victoria maybe had a weee teeny smigin of Stuart blood in her, going from like waaaay back from some very distant past relations, but certainly not enough to make the Russian royal family anywhere near Scottish. I think the bagpipes at the funeral had more to do with Tsar Nicholas's connection with the Scottish army, and the fact that he had a healthy respect for Scotland and vice versa. Most educated Russians had a fascination with Scottish culture. Nicholas himself was Colonel-In-Chief of the Royal Scots Greys regiment. And as for the 1707 union act being a.....ahem... 'mutual' agreement. Well i can state, as would most Scots, that there was nothing mutual about it, it was an agreement which was forced on us, not one that was actually chosen by the people. The only people in my country who chose the union were a few of the Scottish nobles, who were bribed by the English government with the promise of lots of money and more land if they signed the agreement, it therefore was in their own greedy interests to side with the English crown. For the common families and the indigenous clans of Scotland, the union spelt disaster, and an end to their entire way of life. And if you read anything about 18th century history, and the 'ethnic cleansing' and genocide (and it 100% was that) by the British government of those they considered 'troublesome', (i.e Scots who would not give up any part of their identity, such as their language, customs, etc) you will soon realise that they basically wanted 'rid' (and by that i do mean killed) of anyone who would not submit, so you couldn't be more wrong there i'm afraid. And not just in Scotland, it happened in many other places too, unfortunately during that era, there was plenty of being forced to submit to English rule in the countries that became colonised by the British.
+ Gregor Mcgregor Interesting! And yeah, that would make sense right enough! And indeed we Scots are as you say, attracted to places which are wild and untamed, because we are by nature that way ourselves. x
@@puddylump41 thank you! A great history class!
they derserve respect and its a great sad tragedy ode to the family. and tsaar makes me very sad xx may god protect you god bless the family xx
😂😂😂😂 the romanov family deserved it i don't care about their daughter because the romanov family killed million of russians . read history the romanov family was bad for russia the romanov family was very rich but the people was very very poor they deserved it!!! And you should know that almost all russians respect and love Lenin and Stalin.
This is a beautiful funeral to a gorgeous royal family didn't deserve to be like slaves by their own country honestly they were trying to keep up the duties on being a loving family plus if they were still alive 2day they would be making very good chances, the children would've started a family of their own. RIP romanov family
Greetings from germany where many signs, stones and other historic things remind people to that time where zar Nikolaus visit often germany and sometimes Kaiser WilhelmII was present too.
now they can rest in peace
They're DEAD...
It is truly a miracle that Russia survived to Boris Yeltsin, the worst! And Yeltsin must have been drunk, as usual, when coming down the stairs. Long live the Republic!
What happened to the Romanov family was very sad 😢. Glad to see them given a proper burial service and laid to rest.
Tsar Nicholas may have been incompetent leader, but he and his family never deserve this. I'm not a Russian, but it's a relief to see them finally getting laid to rest properly and respect, yet sad it has been this late because of the country's hatred towards the Romanovs and their imperialist, autocratic system. While lessons need to be learned from their and the country's mistakes, but at least let them all rest in peace. This is a nice sendoff to them, one they deserve. I'm glad Russia (finally) did this for them.
It was such a brutal act. You could have got them to sign away their right to the throne for the Tsar and all their defendants. Just as bad as killing Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. I just hope that it was over quickly and they didn’t suffer too much! May they rest peacefully in gods world. My thoughts are with the remaining family members.
Actually it wasn’t over quickly and the children lived the longest and were shot, stabbed, and finally bludgeoned to death. As most things related to communism the execution was carried out by people that were totally incompetent.
They could reclaim the throne so that’s why they had to be killed this family and extended Romanov members.
The soldier in the honor guard had a terrible crick in his neck.
There's a certain irony to Yeltsin's appearance at this event. When he was a Communist Party Boss in Sverdlovsk( Yekaterinberg), he had the Ipatiev House, where the executions took place torn down 20 years earlier so that it wouldn't become a shrine to lost monarchy. A cathedral now stands on that site.
Being born into royalty shouldn't come with a death sentence. They didn't choose the family they were born into. The Czar didn't even want to be king, as I recall. So sad. They didn't deserve a shooting squad. I have been fascinated by Russian history for many years and consider Catherine the Great one of the greatest female role models in history.
Catherine the Great sure is an excellent model! Kill your husband. Have a bunch or lovers and make them rich.
They are treating them with respect and dignity after they just went around and killed them for nothing a hundred years ago?
It just feels really mockingly as all of the soldiers are holding bayonets
No, Anastasia didn't survive. She and another one of her siblings were buried in a different pit, not too far from the rest of her family. However, according to investigations, some of the bullet didn't penetrate enough because of the corsets they wore during that time. It was also believed it was lined with diamonds and etc. So, after the people that shot them were about to drag them out of the place they were shot at, one of the princesses woke up and they had to "kill" her all over again. I hope they find happiness in Heaven and rest in peace.
My great grandmother was lady in waiting to tsarina at Winter Palace in St Petersburg and escaped with my grandmother when the Royal Family was murdered , They fled to Sweden were Gustaf took them in and on to Britain.My uncle Gustav was named after him for his kindness.
😮
Rest in peace, O Martyrs of God and intercede for all of Russia and the rest of the world!
SAINTS Nicholas, Alexandra, Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia and Alexei. (I am proudly Eastern Orthodox).
I wonder if anyone can tell me the chants the priests sing as the caskets are interred. It reaches a crescendo as the Tsar is laid to rest.
Que bueno repatriar su historia y respetar con onor
It is weird to see this! Our lady of Fatima said that The Soviet Union would collapse and that Christianity would return as would Russia and her flag!!
Did Our Lady also foresee and reveal the ugly resurgence of bald-faced antisemitism in the Russian church leadership? And which is painfully obvious all up and down this thread?
Actually, Christianity is experiencing it's own collapse. It was a good run. Most religions eventially fail under the weight of their own dogma and hipocracy. Do as I say, not as i do. It's difficult to lay claim to how great you religion is when you claim to lead people to God while assaulting children
Fantastic Leynen Another stupid Catholic Lady Fatima did not exist and Mary wasn't a Virgin get real
My mom have always said that her Russian flag will return one day. That was over 50 years ago.
😂😂😂😂 the romanov family deserved it i don't care about their daughter because the romanov family killed million of russians and Russian families daughter and sons . read history the romanov family was bad for russia the romanov family was very rich but the people was very very poor they deserved it!!! And you should know that almost all russians respect and love Lenin and Stalin.😘😘😘😘
Do not be fooled.
ALEXEI LIVES.
Long Live the Holy Russian Empire.
Hail the Nightmare.
And remember, gamers only.
I love the czar and his family, how sad that they were killed in such a horrific way.
Yes,I imagine there'd be little neutrality regarding a biography of someone like Putin.But certainly,when I have time I'll check out the Putin documentary.And again,thanks for taking time to point me in the right direction.
