The Execution of the Romanovs: From Russia's Throne to an Unthinkable Fate
Manage episode 384940454 series 3447160
In this episode of the Compendium, I tell Adam about the tragic Execution of the Romanovs, unveiling this dark chapter in Russian history. Who were the Romanovs, and what kind of ruler was Tsar Nicholas II? We also touch on how the wandering โMad Monkโ Rasputin managed to infiltrate and influence the highest seat in imperial Russia.
We examine what sparked the Bolshevik takeover, their arrest, and execution. From this, whispers and myths began to circulate about the young princess Anastasia possibly escaping, with her descendants walking amongst us even today. In today's episode, we address the haunting question, "What happened to the Romanov family?" in the tumultuous aftermath of Imperial Russia.
