    Many moons ago, I worked at a university, and believe it or not my job was to type up the lecture notes for the Russian history prof for her lectures. Minute by minute, hour by hour I typed up all her long and what I thought were boring Russian history lectures. THEN, I watched these 8 episodes. Now I was sitting up, right there in the front row lapping up this information like a lap dog. I couldn't get enough. What a brilliant piece of work you have put together here.

      Superb production and narration. I just finished watching both episodes. I will certainly rewatch, most probably more than once. I can very accurately say I was almost fully ignorant of pre cursed-Bolshevik revolution Russian history. Eye opening. Hopefully, the nation can finally get over this very dark past. I personally can’t get over the Romanovs beyond cruel executions, but it’s been more than a century, God take mercy on this once glorious nation. Have always loved and admired their literary giants - have read Maxim Gorky, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy starting in my early childhood but had no idea that Russia had ever reached such sophistication, might and wealth before the revolt. This documentary cemented my abhorrence of revolutions and revolutionaries.

      @@girumzemichael704 Everything was not so unambiguous, do not hate the revolutionaries, of course they made a revolution on German money, and Lenin himself was a traitor, but the white movement was guided by intervention, England and France actively took part in the collapse of our country, and the people, on the both sides were for Russia. Ordinary people sided with the revolution because they were tired, they worked day after day, there was not enough food, husbands were taken to the front, to fight for other countries, Nicholas 2 made a big mistake by entering World War 1. And the nobility didn't live very badly at that time. That's why people wanted equality. The revolution was necessary then, but in a different format. You can watch the series walking on agony from old media, very good.

    This documentary is great for education, much better than the school books here in Finland. It's always better to also show the human side of great leaders, than just list their achievements in the corner of a page for you to memorize. It makes them feel more real and relatable in your mind. And it's almost impossible to learn about Russian history via Western media, since it's only interested in the Soviet era of Russia (which is interesting too, but it's only a part of the bigger picture).

      Yes, I've noticed; the DC money grubbers are all stuck in "USSR is BAD" mode.
      When in actuality it was CIA contributing to the
      "stir constantly when boiling" - keeping "ish" stirred up from the end of WW2 up until the collapse of USSR in 1992/93. THAT'S roughly 50 years.
      Why are they still stuck in the RUSSIA is BAD" mode?
      Because the threat of a nuclear exchange keeps MONEY funneling into government, M-I-C and defense contractors, and investors' bank accounts.
      They've been RUSSIA again for 30 years and are not the backward, illiterate, "joke-y" country that our ELITES would have US believe.
      Ukraine bad corruption.
      Poland has the Expansionist Dreams.
      The Baltic would prefer a return to the Prussian ways.
      And Germany is a huge instigator of all that is happening at present.
      Putin seems patient, deliberate in the UKR situation...but I believe that RU wins this one, while America is completely unprepared for their own coming collapse.
      Just my two cents...

The family lineage, the ascent to power within the various lineages, the stories of the personal lives of the ruling elite... the battles, the conquests, the defeats.. the power, the modernization .. all of it... mind blowing. Incredible. I definitely want to go to Russia now. I am so excited to see this place.

    I must have had TH-cam on autoplay and woke up middle of night to this. I was transfixed and had learned so much by morning :) I LOVE LOVE the production quality of this and will rewatch; the visuals, the statistics, maps when appropriate. The details of Romanov family life were great. That train wreck was crazy (!) how did the family survive it. I’ve studied history in dry university classrooms where no maps or visuals were used, a chalkboard with endless lists of terms, are u kidding me? This is how we learn.

    That is one severely underrated ability in leaders--leaders able to pick out good, competent people. Catherine the Great was not a military genius, but she was really good at choosing men who were military geniuses. Suvorov definitely comes to mind. Her armies were doing so well that even the best military genius of the past 500 years--Napoleon--wanted to join Catherine's armies. (Genghis Khan and his sons came 500 years before Napoleon--they were genius military leaders on par with Napoleon.) That tells you how great Catherine was at seeing and attracting good talent.

      @@annebradley6086 Who are you asking? I got a notification. I'm kind of curious; not sure what you are refering to. Depending where s person is coming from. There are a lot of groups of the period one might refer to as Satanic. I have been reading up on Marxism. It's interesting that throughout history these Marxist takeovers have eliminated relegion. They are anti anti religion. They are in fact "Anti - Christ." I wonder if this is relatable to your reference / question. I also wonder, did I stumble upon the actual anti - christ. Was the book of revelations refering to Marxism when it talks of the anti christ? Marxism certainly is = Anti Christ. kind of an interesting coincidence. Everything they have done in the past sure fits the descriptions of what to expect in the end times. Bring the world together under one rule, 3.5 yesrs of good, 3.5 yesrs of slaughter, men will dye from their hearts giving out, Gog and Magog, I'm sure you are familiar with the revelations. If Marxism is the Anti Christ, then I guess the followers of marxism would be satanic. What if any is your opinion. Even if this is not at all applicable to your thought here posted. I would still be interested in your thoughts on this possibly obvious connection, supposing this is one.
      Tell me what you think.

    Great historical documentary! Maybe the best one I've ever seen actually. Such a well done and informative historical account of The Romanov Dynasty!
    I watch historical documentaries most of the time, and this is one of my top choices! Even though I've seen it bunches, I continue to soak in new information!
    Also, the narrator's voice is very calming, making this a perfect documentary to leave on while sleeping!
    I love the Russian Tsar (and Especially Romanov) history!
    There is nothing quite as exciting and sad to me as their story! RIP to The Russian Martyr Saints Nicolas, Alexandra, Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia and Alexi Romanov!

    • @floraposteschild4184
      @floraposteschild4184 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Maybe, but probably not. They all believed more or less that czarist autocracy was the order of God, and resisted any dilution of their powers. Prince Michael, Nicholas's younger brother and heir presumptive (after Alexei) was brighter, but "gullible and naive". He wasn't the person to pull Russia into the 20th century. This documentary doesn't say much about the conditions of the common people, but overall they were horrendous, as bad as 18th century France. And Russian industry and infrastructure was stuck in the 18th century too, although it was starting to attract foreign investment -- where the workers were treated like slaves. And the Duma was simply a "talk shop", because the czar could ignore it at his whim. And then there was World War I....

Yeah, things were bad for some but changes don't happen over night, and the more that man gave them mercy, the more they hated him. Russia would have been better off if the revolution had been put down mercilessly. The rise of Communism only robbed the former serfs who managed to build successful farms and cottage industries of their lives through artificial famine and persecution. You'll notice that a lot of the revolutionaries were not in fact the working class they claimed they cared for, but lower nobility and intellectual types who really just wanted to seize power and fortune through theft. It's much like the leftists of today who use socialist and communist rhetoric to excuse their own failures while living comfortable latte liberal lives.

Here in the West, Russians and their history were villanised, they were painted as abnormal, vicious, untrustworthy. I never truly believed it, and put it down to political machinations as the source. I have been enthralled by this sensitive, detailed account of the lives of Russian monarchy. There is great nobility and humanity in this account, and I have greatly enjoyed it. Now I wonder why there was any stigma taught to me at all. A very disturbing thought. There is enough evil in the world without adding hate to children's mind as they develop. People are people, and all the same, no matter where they are from or their cultural background. Why do our establishments insist on brainwashing us as kids?

      Thing is, many people who lived through the existential horror of the Cold War are still alive and many are in government or media related jobs and positions. Plus the Communists did a pretty good job at coloring the Imperial era as evil times run by evil people and themselves were obviously very evil (a government supposedly created to improve the lives of the working class caused the deaths of between 4 and 10 million of its own, working class people via the Holodomor). So it's no surprise that most in the West see Russia as vicious and/or untrustworthy. There is, of course, those like me who can see through the narrative but I also don't blame people from feeling the other way either.

      I agree. Amazing to see the accuracy of prophecy 3:02:00; it soothes to know what has to be and will be. Nicholas´ II attitude proves it: "The holy tsar will have the patience and purity of a dove ... he shall be betrayed ..."

      @@DormantIdeasNIQ ...I agree. The whole Romanov dynasty was put in place to be the puppets of the Nobles and money changers, and we all know who that is. A perfect example was Empress Anna. Could not read or write and had no friends in Moscow, completely put on the thrown by the Nobles. Had no intrest in the affairs of state or the people she ruled, which gave the Nobles and their money changer friends a blank check. Why did they need to put these puppets on the thrown? It began with Ivan iv, {The Terrible}. He actually went to war with the nobles when they tried to introduce serfdom {slavery}. Once he died and they were able to dispatch his predesessors who were still loyal to Ivan"s ideals, they decided to put a dynasty in charge that they could completely control. Why the hell else would you make a 16 year old boy who had no clue, who was educated by the nobles in charge of a country? The little boy he was forced to murder was actually the last in line from Ivan the Terrible, making sure that lineage and it's supporters would never rise again. Shortly after the Romanov's were put in power, serfdom was introduced and it was also decreed that only nobles could own serfs. Ironically, as people who favored the Bolshevic revolution would try and villify and justify what happened to Tsar Nicolaus 2 and his family, they immideately throw serfdom in your face, which was actually started by the nobles and their money changer buddies

    I really enjoyed this series! Fantastic in every way, it was clearly produced with a proper budget as evidenced by the quality in which it was researched & presented; & structured in a way so as to be interesting on both the personal/individual level as well as the macro/historical one. Most historical/biographical documentaries which feature scenes of actors wearing period-era garb & doing reenactments just end up feeling like subpar biopics by overusing them to the point of exhaustion.

      The end wasn't sad. This documentary tells mostly from the side of the Romanovs, not the Russian masses. There's a reason there was so much revolt and assassinations. The Russian Revolution brought in huge benefits for the people of Russia and despite Stalins counter revolution Russia was never again to suffer from the woes of tsarist regime. Good riddance to the Romanovs.

The 4 part Elizabeth one is very good, also King Edward who died at 15 was much more interesting than I’d think. Bloody Mary, their half sister. The first person writings (diary entries, letters, homework) when read are intriguing. May not be bloody enough for you-what am I saying, that was a brutal time.
