It's interesting to note that Anna Anderson never actually came straight out and said, "I am Anastasia." She just had so many people telling her that she looked like Anastasia, that she eventually believed it herself. She was obviously a deeply emotionally troubled woman who was looking for a place to belong. It's also interesting to note too, that long before DNA tests were a thing, there were two people who knew that she was NOT Anastasia. One was her Aunt Olga, her father's youngest sister, who managed to escape from Russia during the Revolution and move to Denmark, and later, Canada. Olga had been very close to her nieces and spent a great deal of time with them, inviting them to her home for parties, games and dances since she knew that the girls needed to get away from the palace sometimes and spend time with other people of their own age range. She visited with Anna Anderson and came away saying simply, "That is NOT my niece." There was also a tutor who had taught the real Romanov children for several years, and who had come to know them all quite well. He visited Anna Anderson and showed her pictures of things that only she would have known about, things like her pets, the rooms she had lived in and the teachers who had taught her, and she did not recognize ANY of them. And, most telling of all, Anna Anderson could not speak or understand Russian! So if anyone still thinks that there's the slightest chance that Anna Anderson could have been Anastasia, these facts should put that idea to rest once and for all!
Franziska Schankowska was a mentally ill woman never related in any shape or form to the Romanovs.
I noted the fact that Anna claimed amnesia as her reason for not remembering details about her life before. She was very calculated, which may have gone along with her mental illness. I’m so glad we now know where Anastasia was, but now what is there to look forward to? Maybe Anna did everyone a favor, though inadvertently.😢
Fascinating. I've always been interested in the Romanov family, may they rest in peace.
I doubt they are resting in peace while millions of peasants died of starvation at their hands while they were living a life of depraved luxury.
@@Peekaboo-Kittythe children were innocent!
@Peekaboo-Kitty Who did them more harm, unwittingly Nicholas or the Bolsheviks?
@@spicencens7725 What do you mean unwittingly? You mean Nicholas wasn't aware that the peasants were starving? Of course he was! So were his generals and they all couldn't care less! The Bolsheviks came to power because of his turning a blind eye to the suffering of his own people. He got what he deserved!
Might have been saved if the British had taken them in but they denied them & and that's a fact 💯 👌
Anna Anderson and Anastasia looked absolutely nothing alike. In 1920, Anastasia would have been 19. Anna looked way older than that.
Agreed 👍
Her husband Jack was a nut case convinced his wife was Anastasia
This early 1900s people looked older cause of all the stress
LIFE, back then,was a life of hard, work, hardship,drudgery poor health, and a short lifespan,😢
I agree. I never thought they looked alike. But it always bothered me how a polish factory worker as they claimed AA to be could have so much knowledge about the family and speak so many languages. I realize she may have been coached but coaching only goes so far especially with her belligerent attitude. AA was definetly NOT one of the Romanov daughters but I don’t buy the polish factory background.
A fascinating look at tragic family story. Of all of them, the child that I had the most sympathy for was Alexi...he had hemophilia, so he never really did get to have a healthy childhood.
I also think that if he hadn't had hemophilia, they could have stayed in power. The Tsar's wife wouldn't have fallen in with Rasputin and all that went with it. As that has long been attributed as part of their downfall. If the Tsar was smart, he would have had him killed early on.
RIP Nicholas II of Russia (1868-1918) Alexandra Feodorovna (1872-1918) Olga Nikolaevna (1895-1918) Tatiana Nikolaevna (1897-1918) Maria Nikolaevna (1899-1918) Anastasia Nikolaevna (1901-1918) Alexei Nikolaevich (1904-1918) Eugene Botkin (1865-1918) Anna Demidova (1878-1918) Alexei Trupp (1856-1918) and Ivan Kharitonov (1872-1918)
beautiful documentary
If you visit Ekaterinburg there is a church called Dom na Krove or Church on the Blood. It was built on the site of the house where the Romanovs were murdered. The basement where the murders took place is there to see.
I read somewhere they were taken outside the house and shot against the wall.
@@CL-kn1rqno the shooting happened in the basement
The basement is not there. It's a ridiculous claim. The house was torn down and the church built in it's place. The basement was destroyed.
@@SymphonyBrahms the space where the basement was exists. The church is built all around it.
@@SymphonyBrahms *ITS place
So tragic and sad that no one had courage, strength of character, and moral conviction to try to save them and get them out.
Well, Nicholas and Alexandra could have sent their children, their healthy daughters anyway, out of the country to safety at the onset of the war. They chose not to do that. This was a time of colossal unrest throughout the world. People had to look after themselves.
Why would they? They let millions of peasants die of starvation while they were living a life of depraved luxury. Who cared about the peasants?
They the Romanovs had asked Britain 🇬🇧 at that time to give them refuge but they were refused 😮
Namely, his own brother!
King George V was a cousin, but denied asylum because of what the British public might think. He never got over the role he indirectly played in his cousin's death
May they rest in peace
I remember back in the 1980s I watched a show that used to be hosted by Leonard Nimoy called In Search Of and they did an episode about the Romanovs and boy did they have some wacky theories.
There was another show called Unsolved Mysteries that profiled it as well, with Robert Stack
In search of
Nimoys tribe hates Russian Orthodox Christians
If Stalin had any doubt Anastasia was alive, the imposter would have definitely been assassinated.
Lenin was in Moscow after the Romanovs😵💫😵💫
I wonder if Tsar Nicholas II would have been a better leader if he actually wanted the position. Probably not. He would have been much happier as a normal man with a nice family. Assuming he didn’t live as a serf.
Well you need take to account that his Grandad(Alexander II) was assassinated when he was still 62(which by itself was far longer age then most of the previous czars) and his dad(Alexander III) died of kidney disease when he was 49..which automaticaly made Nicholas Czar at 26(10 years before when his dad took the crown himself)...its rather clear he was not really expecting to be Emperor just yet.
If normal people had been able to lead happy lives, the Russian Revolution wouldn't have happened. Living conditions were pretty brutal for most people. I don't think Nicholas would have lasted very long.
He wasn't prepared to be tsar, in major part due to his own father who refused to allow him any involvement in the running of the country prior to his own death in 1894. Alexander III didn't allow Nicholas to sit in on meetings, look at papers, ect. He just didn't prepare him at all.
I personally think he would have been a great constitutional monarch.
Nicholas would have been better off (temperament-wise) as a figurehead like his doppelgänger cousin 1st cousin King George V, but Russian empire was an autocracy and no representational legislative body (parliament) situation like George V.
Does anyone know of any documentaries on the search for the remains of Michael Romanov
It wasn’t Anastasia’s body missing, it was maria’s. And alexej was a bleeder. He wouldn’t survive a minute, if he was even slightly hurt in the shooting.
If you ever get the chance, that early 90s movie titled " Anastasia" is a killer watch
1997*
1997 animated or 1956 live action?
Live action is the one
i was born in moscow Russia my middle name is Anastasia I know of the Russian Royal family, and their tragic horiffic deaths. may they RIP in heaven. Tsar Nicholas and Alexandra parallel the last french royal family. Louie the 16th and Marie Antoinette.
I thought in Russia the "middle name" is a Patronymic?
I doubt they are in Heaven when millions of peasants died of starvation at their hands while they were living a life of depraved luxury.
Oh, so inexperienced rulers are supposed to be gods now and stop everyone from dying? You do realize men can't solve all of humanity's problems, that's a simple fact. I doubt the Revolution would've happened if people were able to learn more about the human side of the Romanovs as we are able to today.@@Peekaboo-Kitty
@@thenovelist16commie like peekaboo can't accept the reality
They called the Russian Revolution the Reign of Terror, just like the French Revolution. They ruled the people through terror and fear and killed brutalally, and indescrimately!
They were shooting with revolvers not long barrel rifles.
It’s a reenactment
It's a fantasy.@@Ishbikes
@@brober that too, unfortunately we’ll never know the real facts with shows like these.
the whole history of the world is reduced to replacing one evil with another..you say tragic..it is..just as tragic that he lives in sick luxury that no one needs, while those to whom he has responsibility since he is the emperor are starving...so much They say that when their angry bosses make babies, they don't breastfeed and let them die..that's the world we live in, it's all tragic
You do realize that it was generational wealth accumulated over 600 years. Most of which was property and jewels. Upheaval and activists pulled them away from farming and producing crops.
Some years ago a tv program about a lady who married and moved around and finally moved to South Africa I wonder what happened to her
Always be kind and inclusive of the majority they have you greatly outnumbered. This family learned that the hard way. We are working on things here in America as well.
They were objectively kinder and more inclusive than everyone that ruled after them. You commies aren’t going to do anything in America you’re too busy playing video games in your moms basement
U sound so dark and threatening. What r u working on in America? Speak out. Spit it out man
Lenin i hope you are happy now
I hope people come to understand how much of an evil and pathetic man he is.
😢
quite unaccurate potrayal. nicholas , although still handsome and muscular in his old age, was short. he was at the same height with his wife and his 13 yo son at the time of his death. His daughter Tatiana very probably surpass his height. assuming that yurovsky account was correct, he only uttered "what" before being shot in chest by 3 different guards at the same time. Poor Nicky, i think at that moment his mind was racing about his daughters and son, he would no doubt accept his death if his family are sparef
Exactly, very sad indeed.
You would think they would be able to identify the clothes with the bones as well.
The clothes of the Romanovs were burnt that they were wearing in Ekaterinburg.
Maria ❤❤so lovely
😮 their love for the people who were hungry and gave them nothing. They were only concerned about themselves
That's a lie, Lenin sent back by the Germans rallied the struggling population to strike, trains froze and transportation of food was incumbered leading to hunger, panic and desperation...the Czar had already stepped down and in seclusion...seen shoveling his own snow.
That's a lie. Germany sent Lenin back to rile up the people who were already struggling, (just recovering from a war with Japan), now engaged in war with Germany and instigated workers to strike. Trains froze over, hindering transportation of food. Czar Nicolas abdicated and was trying to reach his family, who were sick with the measles and unaware of the abdication. Water and electricity was shut off to the Czar's family dwelling, when Nicolas finally reunited with his family they were denied asylum by their royal relatives in Europe, who were frightened of a similar fate of revolution in their countries. Nicolas and family moved east away from the politics. Nicolas was seen shoveling snow in his garden, not permitted to leave the grounds. Later they were moved to a merchant's house, fenced in like prisoners, then on the orders of Lenin they were all murdered, but only disclosed to the public the death of the Royal couple, they didn't tell the public that the entire family was brutally murdered and remains hacked up, covered in sulfur and gasoline, burned then thrown down a mineshaft. Then returned out of paranoia and transferred the remains to an undisclosed location in a shallow grave. That's how and why they weren't found until decades later.
Did the murderers cash in on the Romanovs' jewelry after disposing of the bodies?
really thats what you think about after all this???
@@ellypeach Why, didn't you? It is perfectly normal. And if I may say so, it seems the family were not so happy to embrace peasant life as has been suggested were they? 'Yes, I will be a peasant, as long as I can keep the couple of Faberge eggs I have put down my bra to make me look like I have a bust!' Rustics are fond of eggs, I am told. And you never know when one might need to sell one'
@Gwaithmir The commander made an inventory of the jewelry, and the jewels. I think there might have been some minor pilfering, but the threat of execution was real. The jewelry was given to the officials of Communist Party. In later investigations of the areas a few odd, and broken gems were recovered. Many of the Imperial Jewels were sold in 1921 by the government as the need for cash was immense. The Imperial Jewelry left is on display in Russia.
It's not that they don't care for the rest of it, it's that they're genuinely curious.@@ellypeach
@@hogwashmcturnip8930 They had no money. They were going to sell them once they got to Europe
criminals you killed Anastasia you took her place you threw her away
There great allies Britain and France wanted no part in offering a safe exile to the Romanov family unlike in 1914 when they were begging the star to mobilize this caused Germany to fight on a eastern this saved France from defeat. Russia lost it's soul with this massacre.
I believe that when France was feeling the pressure at Verdun or Italy on the Isonzo they called on Nicholas to relieve the pressure by launching offensives on the Germans from the east. He always obliged feeling it was a point of honour. Can you imagine any subsequent Russian leader being so dutiful to his Allies?
@@condelevante4 hi no the great allied Britain and France refused to take the romanovs and are responsible for the terrible massacre. Without the star Germany would have taken paris
Britain was afraid that the British public would be angry that they gave refuge to a tyrant Tsar. It doesn't matter anyway. The Romanovs were prisoners of the Bolsheviks from day one. And Nicholas would never have agreed to leave Russia. It was a matter of duty with him.
@@SymphonyBrahmsyes, he would not have left. But the British could have saved him. They were just too wicked and selfish.
There is no proof that Nicholas and his family knew they were going to be killed until the moment that they were. And what is most sad about it is when these monsters killed this man and his family. The bullets wouldn't pass through the young people's clothes because they had hidden their precious jewels inside their clothes so that these monsters had to bayonet these little kids to death
C était déjà des adultes pour les Grandes Duchesses .Seul Alexis était encore ado ..... Ce qui n exonéré en rien leurs meurtriers.
Anna Anderson was polish
The execution story doesn’t make any sense; First, The guards shot them, then bayoneted them and than -the same guards-dragged them into a truck (they should have noticed that Alexi and Anastasia where not dead) furthermore, Anastasia sits up and screams; it’s hard to believe they where not killed? Don’t think so. Secondly, the family bodies where supposedly thrown into a deep pit; but it was decided-after fail attempt because the two pits prior before digging a burial ground-where not not deep enough but “ digging and covering “ was okay…that don’t make sense. Thirdly, among all this, two bodies are separated from the the family and buried somewhere else; thus, we suppose to believe that the two in question, where driven around till it was decided where to bury them; again, that’s unbelievable. To conclude; I don’t buy this story.
Bolszewicy to tępi analfabeci. Mordercy Nie doszukuj się logiki.
*sigh* me either. & we’ll never know the truth. Way too many *fake historians & experts* making up theories.
Spoiler alert they did DNA testing after decades with the remains they had found & all six Romanov Family members were murdered.
Soviet history records portray the romanovs as tyrannical and brutal. Seems like they were only weak and inefficient which led to their downfall
Look up how many Czars were assassinated. Every time the Czar's gave more privileges to the population, agitators weren't satisfied and organized into unions demanding more and didn't hesitate to plot murders/commit murders and overthrow the Royal family, Land owners and their provisional representatives...your ignorance is showing.
@@donnaleist698 u have zero knowledge. They could've prevented agitations by becoming vigilant and proactive
And lenin have to gave an order
Um if alexi survived wouldn't he have been bleeding he was a hemophiliaic wasn't he
Yes he did suffer from hemophilia. I would assume that he would have bled out but I'm hardly a medical expert.
Une maison avec un foyer central n'est pas forcément misérable.Et le paysan russe etait il pauvre ou bien seulement en dehors de la société de consommation,tout en ayant tout ce qui est nécessaire pour être heureux ? c'est une question qui mérite d'etre posée car abondance de biens ne veut pas dire civilisation.
Ольга писала стихи.Все читали.Извесная поэтесса.Умерла в Италии. Татьяна все время говорила что она Анастасия.Умерла в Германи так и не признаной. Алексей был арестован в 1947г.сидел в Петозаводске.при Хрущеве освобоожден. Умер в Ленинграде 1979г. Мария прожила в одной деревне с родителями. Анастасия прожила в соседней деревне.Демидова жила в одной деревне с Марией. Леню Седнева усыновил Харитонов.В 1941 приехал в деревню и Михаил.Все они выжили.
Do historians ever present what became of the state of the "peasants" post monarchy after the Bolshevik revolution? Im sure they were worse off
cowards with guns will never be real men!
Nicholas was the ultimate coward murderer responsible for the deaths of millions. He is no saint.
That regime so evil brutal, no need to assassinate the famili
I am always amazed how people are so fascinated by a family just because they are considered royal. So many families have been murdered in Russia and are basically ignored because they are not considered royal. I will never understand people's fascination with a family that thinks they are better than everyone else and live a very privileged life because of the family they happened to be born into.
Boohoo
People are fascinated because they were the rulers of the Country, unlike the modern English Monarchy, who only serve as public figure heads, with no real responsibility.
TRAITORS YOU DID NOT SAVE THEM YOU DESTROYED THE RESURRECTION EVEN AFTER DEATH MY HEART BROKE
So sad, bunch of evils in man body
At least when the found fathers of America revolted they had a plan and were successful. These clowns couldn’t even do an assasination right
Не мучейте, расскажите что они выжили.Уже прошло 100 лет.Неужели нельзя рассказать правду.
Do you think they have survived or could escape from Russia?
This was an assassination.
Crazy woman
Tsar wasn't that tall !!!
He was short.
Plastered with adds no add blocker...don't bother...
Did the Romanov's speak Russian,French or both ?
English French German Russian and little bit Polish
If they had not turned a blind eye to the plight of the peasants, their extreme poverty, suffering and starvation, they would not have been executed. So no sympathy from me!
So you're ok with shooting defenseless kids?
No one cares for your sympathy.
Better to turn a blind eye to it than to actively create the starvation under the Soviets. The romanovs were objectively better than everyone who’s been in control of Russia since
I know the romanovs secret
What is the Romanov secret?
The female commentator is a true drama queen, acting as if she was a witness to the execution and the aftermath. She is not to be taken seriously, because with her exaggerated comments, she makes this documentary a very mediocre one.
All of the executioners had jewish names.
and who were the the top Bolsheviks ???? where is the help came from to the revolution?????
Actually not. I do not defend Jews here, but Tsar was killed by ordinary Russians in Vladimir Lenin's service. A lot of Russians are still in primitive mental state dated still from medieval ages.
@@johnfalstaff2270why would you not defend Jews? What’s up with that?
Yes yes the Bolshevik were Jewish
Oh boy, here we go
Jews
A lady I dated had a huge interest in the Romanov family and I noticed a lot of woman also interested though I don't know exactly why? Going to comments I expected a lot of women there and I was right.
Maria and Alexey’s bodies remain missing
There are several inaccuracies in this story. The whole family has been found and their bones identified by DNA. They were found in two locations. The parents and three of the daughters were found with the companions/servants that were with them. The Russian Orthodox church recognized the identification and they were buried with full honors in 1998. The last two children were found in a separate site many years later. All of those murdered were canonized by the church in 2000. The two children were identified by DNA, but the church claims that there is some doubt about their identities and will not allow them to be buried with the family.
I saw a documentary of the Romanov family un nat geo and in there, they say that the last two bodies were found already and that the family finally Is reunited
@@karengen21 The Russian church will not bury the last two children with the family. They claim there is still doubt as to the identities even thought DNA has given positive identities.
@@rebeccakroeger484 the church is in heavy denial. They painted themselves into a corner and don't know how to get out.
No. Maria was my Nana.
Уважаемые господа, автор видео для чего Вы показываете видео, коментарии ЛЖИВЫЕ!!!
Just by looking at this clip, one has to come to the conclusion, that Anna Anderson was indeed Anastasia. It's the only conclusion that makes sense ... And it would probity have consequences to this day. Hence, the effort to put more dirt on that story ... ;) ^^
You didn't bother watching it did you? It is not a clip. It is a full documentary that proves without a shadow of a doubt that Anna Anderson was Not Anastasia. If you are going to make silly comments, please try and watch things before doing so. Otherwise you just make yourself look Very Very foolish
Anastasia’s body was found along with her family. She didn’t survive. Anna Anderson couldn’t have been her seeing as how she was dead, sadly.
Anna Anderson was reported to be a Polish peasant, with her DNA reportedly matching that of a family living there. In the 1920s the family actually came face to face with her with 2 members identifying her as their sister Francesca. They later retracted their identification, only to follow up several years insisting she was indeed their sister.
DNA proved that she was a Polish woman deeply disturbed
no she was not anastasia, she was a pretender and liar
