The Last Days of the Romanovs | National Geographic


I think it’s a big tragedy big tragedy
for the country and for the world
for 300 years the Romanovs ruled Russia
as czars loved feared revered respected
but all too often those who fly highest
fall furthest World War one brought
Russia to revolution in 1917 tsar
nicholas ii was overthrown Lenin’s
Bolsheviks seized control and for 78
days Nicholas his wife Alexandra and
their five children
Alexei Olga Tatiana Maria and Anastasia
were imprisoned here in what used to be
Nikolai Pacis house now the church in
the blood in Yekaterinburg on July 17
1918 the royal family members and their
staff were woken and told they were
being transferred
they were scored it down here – it used
to be the basement of a party of house
the firing squad entered and 20 minutes
later the 300 year reign of the Romanov
dynasty was over Russia had died and
that moment when he was killed
Russia died two years later after the
fall of communism the church was built
to commemorate them as holy martyrs but
after the crime the Bolsheviks did
everything possible to erase the
Romanovs from history after the
execution the Romanov family was brought
here to God in a llaman and dumped in
this old iron mine the Bolsheviks poured
acid over the bodies and burned them
continuously for two days and three
nights trying to get rid of every last
remnant of the Czar’s power even more
astonishing but almost an SDSU store
will you get over that’s ready
bloggers machine there is no simple way
to look at the rule of the Romanovs and
many here feel that what followed was
even worse but
from the ashes of Russia’s past comes the promise of Russia’s future
