Was Nicholas II a good leader?
Sadly, yes. When Nicholas was born, his father was unhappy with such a weak heir. He hardly prepared the young Tsarevich, so that when Nicholas took the throne shortly after his father's death and his marriage to Alexandra Feodorovna, he had very little experience. Nicholas was now the ruler of the largest country in the world, but had only ever attended maybe two or three political confrences. Furthermore, The Tsar hated regulations and rules, and found himself bored by the meetings and dispised being contained behind the palace walls. Nicholas was a fiery blooded man, who loved to fight, and took every chance he could get to get outside and lead his army in person for the sheer thrill. As for his treatment of Russia itself, he and his wife were both stubborn and very set in their old ways, fearful of change. They raised their children outside of the public's eye, and his wife in general rarely went out in public. Many didn't even know her name or what she looked like. Fearful that change would result in losing power, Nicholas fought tooth and nail to adhere to the old ways, never wanting to progress. During his reign, the treatment of the serfs (peasants) was at it's worst, and he was very anti-semetic. A number of pograms ravaged Russia, terrifying Russian Jews. Even as they begged for more liberties, he denied them. The Great War (Now refered to as World War I) had a lot to do with it as well. Tsar Nicholas made the foolish mistake to leave for the warfront, and left the entire empire to his reclusive wife, who often had the mischevious Grigori Rasputin whispering in her ear, whom she trusted with absolute loyalty. On her own, Alexandra was completely incompitent at rule, and Rasputin began giving her advice on running the country. This closeness to the empress made many people disgusted with Rasputin, and many rumors began to spread that Alexandra was having an affair with him. To make matters worse, the war led to food shortages, and ultimately, famine. Constant military defeats shamed the proud Russian people. Then, Vladimir Lenin stepped forward and offered a radical change and the people began to call for the fall of the Tsar. The family was put under house arrestbefore being banished to Siberia, and ultimately shot in the basement of the Ipatiev House in Yekaterinburg.

Further information:
Tsar Nicholas II, or Nikolai Romanov, was ill-prepared to receive the crown when his father died in 1894. His inability to rule effectively was compounded by a number of difficult events during his reign.
The failure of the Russo-Japanese War led to the Russian Revolution of 1905, which Nicholas diffused only after signing a manifesto promising representative government and basic civil liberties in Russia. However, he recanted on a number of his promises, allowing the Bolsheviks and other revolutionary groups to gain wide support. When World War I broke out in 1914, Russia immediately attacked the German province of East Prussia even though it was unprepared. The Germans mobilised their armies efficiently and completely defeated the two invading Russian armies.
The cumulative effect of these events was that Russia suffered severe food shortages, soldiers became war-weary, and morale was at an all-time low. On 15 March 1917, Nicholas was forced to abdicate amidst civil war. A year later, on 17 July 1918, he and his wife, together with their five children, the family doctor and three attendants, were taken to the cellar of a house in Yekatarinburg, where they were executed by a firing squad.

there are many view points that say differently for more information readhistory in focus, second edition! have fun in history! ♥
Tsar Nicholas II, of the Romanov imperial line, was the catalyst for the Russian revolution.
Is Queen Elizabeth related to the romanovs?
yes she would be the royal families of Europe are all interelated in some way. In the days of the Romanovs and Queen Victoria the royals all wanted to keep royalty in their blood so a Russian Prince would marry an English princess for example. So yes sh would be but it may be VERY distant.
Improvement:
She is not a descendant of the Romanovs she an ancestor of the Romanovs. Victoria died in 1901 at the age of 81. The Romanov's died in 1918. The Tsarina Alexandra was Victoria's grand daughter through her daughter Alice the Grand Duchess of Hesse.
Queen Victoria is known as the Grandmother of Europe because her 9 children married into the Royal houses of Europe.
If you mean is Queen ELIZABETH a descendant of the Romanovs? No, not directly, but her husband is. He was Philip Prince of Greece and Denmark( he renounced those titles to marry Queen Elizabeth) and he is related to Alice of Hesse. Queen Elizabeth is in a round about way as she is a descendant of Victoria, but Prince Philip is directly related to the Romanovs through his mother. That is how Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip are related through children of Queen Victoria.
What year was the Romanov family imprisoned in the Urals?
The Romanovs were in protective custody of the Privisional Government and then under arrest by the Bolsheviks. They had been moved around several times to different places by both governments. While in custody of the Bolsheviks, they were moved to the Ipatiev House in Ekaterinberg (city of Catherine) which is in Siberia, not in the Ural mountains. This is where they were murdered in July 1918.
The members of the Romanov family?
The ruling family of Czarist Russia, in popular usage the last batch of Romanovs the immediate Clan of Czar Nicholas II and family- Czarina Alexandra, Czarevich ( crown Prince) Alexis, and the Grand Duchesses, In chronological order- Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia! The rest is history- worth studying and looking up!
Why was Rasputin an important figure in the lives of the Romanov's and in Russian history?
Czar Nicholas II and his wife Alexandra had a son Alexi who had hemophilia. Rasputin knew their former doctor and shortly after he was dismissed Rasputin took over and seemed to be able to help Alexi calm down during his attacks. After that he gained more and more power
How did the Romanov children die?
In the early hours of July 17th 1918, the family was awoken and told there was unrest in the town where they were being held captive and they were to be moved to the cellar for their own safety. Once there, they were shot to death by a Soviet firing squad.
Were the Romanovs killed in the Russian Revolution?
Nicholas II, his wife, their children, and four servants were shot to death in 1918 because the murderers wanted to gain the power of leading Russia.
Not quite true. The murderers were already in power and had been holding Nicholas II and his family in captivity for about a year. They wanted to prevent the Romanovs from ever coming back and regaining the throne. Sometimes an overthrown leader might leave his country, mount a coup, then return to rule once again. The Bolsheviks wanted to prevent this from happening.
What year did Anastasia romanov disappear?
July of l9l8, owing to differing calendars being used by West and East and the general chaotic turmoil inside revolutionary Russia, a precise chronology cannot be made. it happened ( the massacre) one night in July of l9l8. NKVD boys did the dirty deed- and used grenades and flares to blast the basement after they grabbed anything valuable from the bodies of the victims. the possibility that Stacy got out- cannot be minimized. Look at the recent case of the Mad Muslim Major! He was reported dead- but at this writing is alive- and under tight guard- MP"s must ring his hospital cell.
What language does Anastasia Romanov speak?
Russian, of course. She was tutored in other tongues by among other instructors, Pierre Gilliard, the state interpreter ( French Language) French was de facto the secondary society language in Czarist Russia and ( all hands) were quite fluent in this tongue. she had instruction in German and English also and the German tutorials were stopped after l9l6- due to the war. German cultural customs as diverse as the music of Beethoven ( Yes) and Christmas Trees were under official ban after l9l6, the ban was put in place by the Russian Orthodox Church and had the approval of the Czar as a patriotic gesture. (there is no equivalent cultural ban in United States history)- though there were political blacklists based on real or alleged (Communist) involvement. From surviving documentation, she was quite friendly with her French Instructor and under favorable conditions, after the classes, he would take her into town ( St. Petersburg) in his Mercedes-Benz escorted by plainclothes IKGB men who stood out like a sore thumb, say in what we would call a shopping mall. The details are from ( The last Grand Duchess) a historical novel in diary form, and while fiction one of the more realistic breathing accounts of the Grand Duchess.
She was also taught English but Anastasia knew it has a first language also cause her mother was a daughter of a English princess. Plus there nanny was Irish herself so of course they spoke English
How did Anastasia Romanov survive?
She was thought to be murdered with the rest of her family in 1918. But a couple years ago a lady around 90 years old claimed to be Anastasia Romanov, it hasn't been proven true yet, but it also hasn't been proven to be false.
Where are the romanov family buried?
The House of special purposes, the Ipatiev mansion, no longer exists! it was bulldozed and demolished by Russian engineer troops some years ago it was not the sort of thing the new Russia wanted to memorialize or Glamorize- would you want to make a museum out of the Cielo Drive site ( Manson Murder site?) H--- No! The Romanovs, sans Stacy were reburied in St. Petersburg in elaborate ceremonies. The massacre occured in Ekaterinbug- city of Catherine and NOT St.petersburg, but the phrase ( Saint Petersburg Massacre- sounds more dignified and there WERE political upheavals including blood-baths in the Czarist Capital city. The Romanovs were murdered, howver in Ekaterinburg.

Until 5 May 2004, the price of gold was fixed twice a day, at 10.30 am and 3.00 pm, at the premises of Tsar's palace Switzerland by the world's main Bullion Houses - Deutsche Bank, HSBC, ScotiaMocatta and Société Générale. Informally, gold fixing provides a recognized rate that is used as a benchmark for pricing the majority of gold products and derivatives throughout the world's markets. Every day at 10.30 and 15.00 local time, five representatives of investment banks meet in a small room at Tsar family's London headquarters on St Swithin's Lane. In the centre is the chairperson, who was by tradition appointed by the Rothschild bank. The bank itself has largely withdrawn from the trading.[53] Gold fixing now takes place by telephone conference and the chairmanship rotates annually.
