The Romanovs

Almost certainly Vladimir Lenin.

Mikhail Kudrin, as part of a detail of men under the command of Yakov Yurovsky, is generally believed to have fired the shot that actually killed Tsar Nicholas II. Yurovsky fired the first shot after reading the Tsar his death sentence. Then Kudrin, Petr Ermakov and Pavel Medvedev, at the very least, also shot him even though they had been assigned other family members to shoot.

Lenin had given his anonymous approval after the local Cheka demanded the execution and the Czechoslovak Legion in the civil war was close to capturing Ekaterinberg and the Tsar. Yakov Sverdlov is believed to have set everything up.

The incident is known as "Bloody Sunday," which occurred in St. Petersburg on January 22, 1905. It was a massacre of hundreds of peaceful demonstrators by Tsarist cavalry and soldiers and led to demonstrations, riots and strikes in many other cities. This aftermath has sometimes been termed the Russian Revolution of 1905.

Russia overthrew the Czar in the February Revolution of 1917. The actual date when Czar Nicholas II signed the letter abdicating his throne was March 2, 1917 according to the Russian calendar, March 15, 1917 according to the western world's calendar.

Yes he did, as a response to the Russian Revolution of 1905.

The tsars had enjoyed unlimited power in Russia. Only Nicholas II had to deal with a revolution, which forced him to abdicate.

He didn't go to a school. He was taught by many private tutors.

The Romanov Dynasty.

Actually Holstein-Gottorp-Romanov.

He succeeded his father, Alexander III, who died unexpectedly in 1894.

The soon to be tsar was called a tsarsevitch.

It's possible that this fabrication was added to the legend of the Hope Diamond by Evelyn Walsh McLean, one of the stone's last owners.

Apparently, there is no concrete evidence that the Hope Diamond and Catherine the Great ever met. Catherine the Great lived between 1729 and 1796. During this period, the stone that became the Hope Diamond appears to have been solidly in the possession of the French royal family.

The "Kadets" was a political party formally known as "Constitutional Democrats," hence "Kadets." The Kadets did not completely dislike the Tsar, but dislike the complete autocratic manner of Tsarist rule. They wanted a monarch who was bound by a constitution and a democratically elected government. They were not socialist, Marxist or communist.

Peasants did not kill the tsar and his family, they were taken down to a basement and shot by Bolsheviks. They were not justified to killing them either though.

Alexei or (Alexis) Nicholevich Romanov 1904-1918 was the last heir to the Romanov Empire during it's three hundred-four year reign. Much anticipated and longed for by his parents Nicholas and Empress Alexandra, indeed the entire empire lay their hopes for a peaceful Russia on the Tsarevich or (son of) the Tsar. Nicholas himself chose his heirs name after his favorite Romanov Tsar and ancestor Alexis IV, known to history as Alexis the Mild because his reign was characterized by the status quo of the day which was still then a sleepy non-westernized Russia.

Alexis, was naturally received with much joy as well as a collective sigh of relief by the empire. After ten years of marriage and four daughters it was beginning to look as though the Empress would not produce a son and heir. This arose the dislike and mistrust of the Empress by the people who felt she did not love Russia. This dislike is also attributed to the empresses mental instability which is cited as a key cause of the collapse of the dynasty.

This bonnie prince, by all accounts a charming, lively and intelligent boy, on whose shoulders bore the hopes of a nation was also stricken with hemophilia a painful and at the time almost certain terminal disease. Alexis' condition was kept from the people and he was rarely seen by the public at all. Of course this brought about further dissension amongst the people and the Imperial Family adding to the resounding chorus which in a mere twelve years from the Tsarevitch's birth would become the final decrescendo on the three centuries of Romanov rule.

Alexei Nicholaeivich Romanov, was murdered along with his parents and sisters in Ekaterinburg, Russia, 17/18 July 1918 by the Bolsheviks as the White Army or Allied troops were fast approaching the Ural region which presumably would have rescued the Imperial family, as it was has spun countless fairy tales of one or more of the family having not perished. It was said amongst society during the time of the Tsarevichs birth that the Dowager Empress Marie Feodorovna bore a strong displeasure at the choice of the heirs name, Alexis. Fearing the choice of name an ill omen from before the Romanovs ruled one-sixteenth of the earths surface.

Ivan IV or Ivan the terrible brought about the murder of his son and heir Alexis. After Ivan IV, Russia had no ruler and the land was plagued with famine and lawlessness which lasted nearly half a century before the Romanovs came to power in 1603.

Tsarevich Alexei Romanov.

Czar Nicholas the Second was not prepared to rule a country, he agreed even his teachers agreed. Czar Nicholas came to power during what was the darkest time in Russia History. He and his wife Alix had only one true dream to raise a close knit family. Nicholas and his wife also believed that Nicholas was on the throne because of God's will, therefore we're unwilling to share power with the Duma. Rasputin was also a reason Nicholas was not considered a good czar because it was believed that Rasputin had too much power over the Romanov family.
