Why did Grand Dutchess Anastasia dia?
She was killed by the Bolshiveks/communists/military to anihilate the Romanov Family who had ruled Russian for hundreds of years. She was married to the ruling Romanov and they did not want her to produce any more Romanov's or take over the throne. The Russians wanted freedom from the Romanov rule.
____
No.. Anastasia was not married to anyone, let alone the ruling Romanov - who was Nicholas her father.
The entire Romanov family was murdered by the local Bolshevik leader. It had nothing to do with not wanting her to produce heirs. The Bolsheviks were afraid the Allied armies and White Russian army were going to liberate the family and use them to mobilise support to over throw the Communist government.
FYI Nicholas and Alexandra were married, Anastasia was one of the daughters.

She didn't have a boyfriend because she was sealed off from Society as a child and as a teenager and she was imprisoned in 1917 and died 1 year later at the age of 17. However, while imprisoned in the Ipatiev House, it is speculated, though not proven, that she might have had a small crush on one of the servants that came with the family to exhile, the kitchen boy, Leonid Sednov. It is also most likely that Dimitri in the 1997 animated film "Anastasia" is very loosely based on Leonid. However, the two are not known to have been actual lovers.

What is the story Anastasia about?
"Anastasia is about the lost princess of the tzar empire of russia. When the princess was little, the commoners started a civil revolution and burned the palace. Anastasia's family was killed except for her grandmother, a dutchess in Paris. When Anastasia and her grandmother tried to escape, Anastasia fell off the train and hit her head, causing amnesia. The story is her trying to find her way to Paris, based on a clue 'together in Paris' which is inscribed on her necklace. Anastasia is taken to Paris by a pair of cons looking to find a princess look-a-like so they can 'reunite' her with her grandmother and 10million reubels reward. The villain is the sorcerer Rasputin, who traded his soul for forbidden magic so he could kill the entire royal family. But Anastasia is alive, so his mission is incomplete, which means she must also survive his attempts on her life."

Who was better Stalin or Czar Nicholas 2?

How safe is midtown st. petersburg?
We renovated an older two story home in Midtown Saint Pete. Newton Ave South. We're between 4th and 7th street south and between blocks 14th and 15th avenue south. I believe this is the area where the riots took place back in the 90s.
People thought we were crazy to buy and live here. I think lack of safety is way overrated. You're safe if you do the norm...lock your doors at night and keep outdoor lights on. I assume people are doing this even in gated communities. Security systems are great too.
There is a built in fear that is really non-existent. As long as you take a stand against crime and are proactive in the neighborhood crime watch and association, people will respect you and you find yourself fairly content.
It does take a certain type of persons to pioneer good habits for a broken down community and it takes consistency. There is no throwing the towel in with such a poor market so we're left fighting for peace and unity to bring the area to a quality of life that would be attractive to more people.
Is it safe? Well, I can assure you that it is in fact safer than it has ever been in the past.
Did the changes of the Russian Revolution resolve the problems that led to the Revolution?
No, not really.
The most pressing and immediate causes for the Revolution were involvement in World War 1, unequal distribution of land and shortages of food in the cities. After the March Revolution the conservative Provisional Government took over. It continued to fight in the war, did nothing to redistribute land and was unable to increase agricultural output. The people of Russia were no better of than they had been under the Tsar.
After the October Revolution, Lenin's government continued the war effort because Germany wanted too many concessions; failed to redistribute land to the peasants, because Lenin kept the land in the hands of the government; and failed to cure the food shortages because his "war communism" policy made peasant farmers hoard, destroy or not grow their crops.
The relationship between Tsar nicholas II and his people?
Tsar Nicholas II's relationship with his people was very poor, he didn't care that they were sitting on the sidewalk, that they had no food and very bad wages.
Probably. He put a tax on long beards and collected "freaks" for his court, such as Siamese twins, dwarfs, and giants. Those are qualities of a madman.
Was Anastasias Mother Alexandra an alcoholic?
The Tsaritsa, Alexandra Feodorvna consort of Tsar Nicholas II was not an alcoholic. During the final years of the empire rumors were rife in the capital; Petrograd as well as Moscow and Kiev accusing the Empress of many things which she was not. Revolutionaries and later traitorous members of the aristocracy spread stories of the Empress as well as her four daughters being drunks, drug addicts and mistresses of Rasputin and during the war enemy German pies, this last was the only lie that truly hurt the Tsaritsa.
Indeed, the Empress was perhaps the most loyal subject in the Empire. She instilled this same patriotism in her daughters all of whom including the Empress served as Red Cross nurses during World War I. On the eve of the outbreak of hostilities in August of 1914 while entertaining the French president M. Poincare, quoted the Empress as saying that ever since she married the Tsar in 1894 she married the nation as well and loved it because it was the land of her husband and children. In fact society scorned Alexandra in her early married years for her zeal as "matuska" the mother of the Russian people.
Why was tsar Nicholas II still unpopular after 1905?
The conservative right wing was furious with him for allowing a Duma, giving in to popular agitation. The extreme left wing was afraid his attempts at reform might bear fruit and take the steam out of the Revolutionary movement. The liberals distrusted him, because the Duma had few powers and the Tsar's minister, Witte, soon set about limiting these. Nicholas had gone a long way in a short time in 1905, covering territory which had taken other western European nations centuries. And none of this made much positive difference in the life of the average person. The Russians had always believed that "if only" he knew, the Tsar would end their suffering. After "Bloody Sunday" in 1905 this belief was no longer held. Now they said "The Tsar is not with us", and soon added "So we have no Tsar".
Were Pyotr Stolypin's reforms good?
Stolypin's reforms had mixed results. He called his plan "carrot and stick" - to reward and punish. He reversed the previous "mir" system - of collective property - and allowed the destitute peasants to combine their land and buy the land of poorer peasants. He introduced the concept of private property, attempting to develop a new, prosperous class of conservative farmers who would be loyal to the Tsar. This was the carrot part. The stick was the harsh punishment for radicals - the result of the revolutionary parties popular in the countryside, particularly the Socialist Revolutionaries. They were often exiled and sometimes hanged. Stolypin had so many people hanged, nooses became known as "Stolypin's neckties."
As a result of this, production did increase, but only the money only benefited the middle class, or was paid back to France (borrowed for industrialization). The peasant's condition did not improve, and instead of creating a new loyal, capitalist class he was left with a very poor, alienated group of farmers.

Was Alexandra Romanov like Marie Antoinette?
Other than being two Tragic Queens- victims of revolution, not much in common. Both Marie Antoinette and Alexandra were originally of Germanic Nationality. The Czarina was originally surnamed Von Hess! Marie Antoinette was of Austrian extraction, not German- like Berlin, but a German-speaking country. She was one of the daughters of Maria Theresa- the chunky empress who is still honored on coins made well over 200 years after her death! ( the Maria Theresa Thaler- all of which are dated l780). Marie Antoinette was Catholic, Alexandra was Lutheran but converted to Russian Orthodox faith- most zealous in that line!
