The Romanov Empire

The Romanov Family: The Rise and Fall of Russia's Last Dynasty

Among the most well-known and longest-lasting royal families in Europe, the imperial line governed Russia for more than three hundred years. It was the only family having three Russian monarchs or queens following Peter the Great. But rebels murdered members of the Russian royal family in their cell in Ekaterinburg, central Russia, during the Russian Revolution in 1918. This swiftly and shamefully ended the revolution. Tsar Nicholas II was murder'd with an axe. Shot in two groups, his wife Alexandra and daughters Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia had their brains struck with the weapons to guarantee death. Their ashes were combined with those of the tiger kept in the room where they were burnt in a pit. The horrible passing of the family altered Russian history. Following their defeat and murder, the Bolsheviks established the "new Soviet man" political and social framework to take place in place of tsarist Russia. Russia controlled by the tsars failed when? The last royal family Russia had was the Romanovs. Their rise and fall reveal a great much about imperial Russia, a powerful nation spanning eastern Europe, central Asia, and east Asia. The first Romanov tsar, Michael I, seized power in 1613 as the Russian princes voted for the position started leaving.

This study examines the beginning of the Romanov dynasty together with significant reforms and developments. It also covers the last Romanov family, the Holstein-Gottorp, and how their sad abdication and execution effected Soviet Russia.
