Testimonies of Red Guards: Romanovs Imprisoned | Part 1
Valentin Speranski, a former professor at the University of Saint Petersburg, who emigrated to Paris after the Revolution, visited Ekaterinburg in 1924 to give a series of lectures. While he was there, he held interviews with people of various political parties and stations, including the Bolsheviks, who had at one time any connection with the terrible events that had taken place there only six years earlier. One of the more important persons who gave information to Speranski was Anatoly Yakimov, who served as a guard at the Ipatiev House.

Czar Nicholas II and his family must have been really good people.If not,then Guard Yakimov would not have such memories about them...What he said about the Czar was very touching. The Czar must have been a very extraordinary and remarkable man. I cannot imagine how he was able to behave respectably toward people who were made to believe that he was their enemy.
Nicholas II was a true christian.
@Straw Man p
@Straw Man I thought Lenin called for the execution?
@@stephanieredden8861 Apparently, he didn't. While the final goal was to have them killed regardless, Lenin actually wanted them to be executed after a trial in Moscow. However, there was a disagreement between Lenin and Yakov Yurovsky and instead of following through with moving the Tsar and his family to Moscow, he had them all executed as the White Army was quickly approaching Yekaterinberg. The death of the Tsar came as a shock to Lenin but nothing much happened; the inevitable was just pushed forward.
Sure!! Just wasn’t a very good leader. 🇷🇺
Our family of beautiful Orthodox Saints....we love them all!!🥰👍
I am Arab but I love Romanov family, Rest In Peace 🙏
I am also 😉
Truly a sad part of history. Too bad his royal ancestors did not rescue them.
@@christinetaylor8975 yeah :(
I do not believe they rest. They are guiding us, as ancestors will, through this final swoop of the Bolsheviks. Mid-March 1917, Nicholas is coerced into abdicating .. the family held in house arrest at Tsarskoe Selo Mid-March 2020 the "west" put under house arrest due to sarscov2 .. Tsarskoe version two? The demons love their number and word games.
Me too, from Chili!
I've never heard this recollection before. I found myself smiling and thinking how bitter sweet it was that the guards experienced a touch of the family's kindness.
the flower perfumes the heel that crushes it!
It’s easy to see why the Czar and Czarina were such a match. They were a handsome couple just from a physical standpoint. Their tragic circumstance continues to reverberate throughout history. In hindsight the most shocking event of the early 20th century.
He was an inept KIng that simply could not rule and he sat on 30 billion dollars
Tsar Nicholas may not have been the greatest ruler, but he and his family were good people. Despite their captivity, they treated their enemies with Christian kindness and true examples of turning the other cheek.
Both Nicholas and his father before him dreaded the role of Tsar which they inherited, Alexander after the unexpected death of his elder brother. Many failed because they did not have the character or the will for the job. Unfortunately, some have the will for the job but are even worse than Nicholas was.
Именно в царсвовании государя Николая Александровича Романова был рассвет исскуств, медицины, наук, химии, производств, спорта даже с Олимпиады, никогда ни при ком : ни до, ни - после не был повторен успех этого короткого отрезка до 1917 г до прихода НКВД и до современности.И, именно, бориска ельцын на месте казни семьи и приближенных построил свой блядский обком партии и за это его избрали москвичи царём своим. И он отблагодарил их в конце царствования с володькой мутиным.
The Romanovs saw Jews, non-Russians, and Russian dissidents as the enemy. If bloody pogroms and massacring workers and peasants is your idea of Christian kindness, then it's no wonder the Russian people overthrew it.
To think that this guard wanted to help them escape but felt he couldn't trust the outside Doctor that was free to come and go says so much about the turmoil of that time in Russia and how you could never fully trust anyone. I know around the last week of their lives they changed the guards on them as those that had been guarding them had grown close to the family, seen they were good people and didn't want to cause them any harm. I hope the family is a peace today in heaven.
How beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. I guess, through their christian kindness, and the grace of God, the Romanov family helped some of these poor soldiers to amend their lives and save their poor souls. I hope so. May they rest in Peace... :(
Yes!
8:50 Grand Duchess Maria does indeed have a wonderful, warm and generous smile. Wow. No doubt she would have been a loving and strong mom. Keeping in mind her grandfather Tsar Alexander III (6 ft 3 and very strong like a true Russian bear) and that Empress Alexandra personally breastfed the children, including her, and thus, grown up with lots of love.
Very nice commentators. What a shame and pity these lovely dearly beautiful souls had gone through!!
I'm still alive, I used my telekintic superpowers to escape.
This family still be the most gorgeous royal family in the world... ❤️
I have always been drawn to this family, on a tour of the Ukraine , we visited their summer house, I cannot remember the name. As my hand touched the handrail of the stairs, I felt the electricity from them , the house and felt sad , but a momentous moment. R.I.P the Romanovs
Maybe Livadiya house?
@@LjubicaP thank you
@@christineaygin6701 🌺🙏🕊👍
Lividia Palace.
The Romanovs were widely loved all across the Russian empire and beyond. I can assure they were loved in Ukraine too, because my own people loved them even though we're not Russians and our ethnic state (Karelia) was annexed to the Russian empire forcefully many years earlier. We defended the Romanovs and later the provisory white government under the brave Kolchak against the red enemies in the civil war My population loved the royal family because they were great people and cared deeply about the population and always treated us well. When the Romanovs went to their palace in Denmark or went to visit Prussia, they passed through Karelia, and we remember them fondly
My heart breaks for this loving family. I read the book when I was quite young and it really made an impression.
God Rest their souls 🙏
Thank you, I also read somewhere in Russian history books that the guards found the Tsar family very kind and simple people and while dealing with them they were beginning to feel sorry for them more and more.
Gee I can’t imagine why the royal family was nice to the people directly in charge of guarding their lives. Too bad this didn’t extend to literally anyone else
@@TheEpic22 geez judge much?
@@lesleymaner2851 Do I judge the Russian royal family? Yes, they were garbage and deserved what they got. You think the Revolution happened because they treated their people too well?
@@TheEpic22except according to eyewitnesses it extended to “literally” everyone they met and interacted with
I read that their children were raised in such a pure way that the Priests and tutors were worried about saying anything that may pervert their innocence. That alone speaks volumes.
So true!
Have you even seen why the people revolted
@@markbow2107 sure, this channel talks about the revolution.
What a beautiful family the Last Romanovs were. How honorable and dignified they were even in dealing with extremely hostile guards. May they enjoy Paradise with Our Lord and God Jesus Christ whom they lived, worshipped and served all their lives even during their horrible time of captivity and virtual emprisonment. In The Name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit The Only One God forever as it was in the beginning, is now and ever will be world without end Amen 👍👍👍❤❤❤💕💕💕💕
They didn’t have to die. Why not let them live in exile. It is so sad to see the photos of this beautiful family.
What happened to them is disgusting and heartbreaking! Always been fascinated by the story even tho the ending is just awful
A sad period in the history of Russia: the murder of the anointed of God, the rightful owner of the land of the ancestors
🕊️🇮🇱📜🕎📖🕊️🕍🕎❤️🕯️💒🕊️🎶🙌🫂🕊️❤️🕯️❤️⚕️❤️⚖️📖🕊️❤️🛡️❤️🕯️🕊️🫂 I am very distant related to the Romanov family, Through Alexandria's side, through relatives in the English Royal family. I would Love to have met them. I do speak a Little Russian, but can not read or write in it. I have 1 Bible in Russian and 1 in Russian & English. They looked like a Beautiful family. Their tragedy in history, is very sad and horrible! Our Royal family is supposedly related to King David of the Bible & YESHUA HAMASHIACH JESUS THE MESSIAH. I May not have had the chance to meet them here in this lifetime, but I know that since they Loved the LORD, I will get to meet them when YESHUA Returns. What a Wonderful day that will be! ❤️

@@sisterabagail457 so she was the German half, does this mean that your related SPECIFICALLY to the via the "german" half?
I knew I shouldn't have watched this just before I try and sleep 😥😥😥
I'm amazed that some of the guards would be upset if the family looked at them "sternly". Wtf did they expect? It sounds like everyone in the royal family was far more friendly than I would have been.
Good video, and some beautiful pictures of the family. Thank you for putting this together. Very good viewing.
Such a sad true story. I so wish that they would have some how escaped. The horrible way they were killed is heartbreaking 😢
Συγχωρήστε μας.
I love this family so much and frequently ask them for prayers. They are powerful intercessors.
The dead, even those on heaven..cannot pray for us. You ought not to try to contact the dead on behalf of the living..its dabbling in the occult...although you are doing it out of an innocent and pure heart.pray to your.Father in heaven..in the name and authority of Jesus. Presumably you are a Christian ✝️?
@@tsffmw you don't believe they and others who die in grace have eternal life? I understand your concern but I don't contact them. I know they are alive for all eternity and I ask them to pray for us because they do. You know like revelations when the saints in heaven are pleading with God to stop the suffering on earth.
me too!❤❤❤❤
They are great Saints and great Martyrs now! Of course we must ask them to pray for us! Absolutely! Anyone who understands the Truth faith would ask for their prayers! Anyone who doesn't is missing out on the Heavenly Kingdom! They are holy followers of Jesus Christ! They are alive in Heaven!!❤❤❤❤❤
@@theresanault5219 they are saints ! They saved my life without even know them !! ✝️🛐☦🇬🇷❤👑🕯
Fascinating insightful account from someone who was a red a guard his point of view when the Romanov were prisoners at yekaterinburg in the ipatiev House
Nyet, I killed all the guards when I used my telekintic superpowers to escape.
Very insightful material! I urge everyone to order the book. It is a work that will only come around once in a lifetime! The link is in the description below the video.
This documentary is very well done. The Romanov's were a very happy family. I hope that family members never suspected that they would be brutally murdered one day.
Wow so the Anastasia movie didn't whitewash them as much as I thought
Николай Александрович, знал свою судьбу, судьбу семьи своей и страны своей!!!
God bless them all,may they rest in eternal peace.
I am currently reading the book. It's definitely worth the money.
Thank you so much for your positive feedback!
Shocking and sad story...
This is informational, nice and sad at the same time.
So sad to watch
The irony of the Romanov story…symbolic of all families then and now We are one… in search of peace, love and freedom… no matter religion, race or beliefs Love is the common denominator
The Czar was not innately a bad person. He was a man who deeply loved his family and would have been happiest living quietly with them on a farm, but was born into a position that he was taught was his God given duty. Unfortunately, he did not have the knowledge or ability to be a good leader of Russia.
Correct he was born to be czar by birth but not by temperament .😑
I love everything about The Romanovs ,I studies everything about them !
I have at least 4 books about the family, one of them being The Romanov Sisters by Helen Rappaport, and I have asked for the Romanov Royal Martyrs book for Christmas.
This story broke my heart. I wish the could have been away they could have lived. I hope one day I could meet them in Heaven one day. He seemed down to earth.
Mesmerizing!!!!
The “Truth” has begun It’s time for ALL TO BE FREE Love and light to ALL
I have this book and I love it❣️
If I were descended from those scum bags guards that were so disrespectful to the Romanov family and had no problem gunning down the whole family I would feel ashamed
The adventurer Richard Halliburton interviewed one of the Red guards who had killed the royal family as he was dying of cancer... This was in the 1930s. The interview is in one of his books I have somewhere in my collection... You should read the story.
@Sunrise Sunrise I cant remember... however its a famous controversial story, searchable on line
Yes, he interviewed peter ermakov the ruthless killer of romanov family, he wasnt suffering from cancer he made him believe like that he died much years later in 1960s
Vasily yakovlev who transferred tsar and his family to Yekaterinburg tried to rescue them by deciding a detour to omsk he had a strong feeling that they were going to killed in ekaterinbering but however some one told his plan tp urals and this rescue never happened if it had done tsar's family never had been murdered they would have ended up in omak or anywhere not in ekaterinbering
I LOVED,the additional pieces of history. that you have, have personally, commented, on many, of the Romanov Family clips, SO SAD, Afamily, I feel a deep,strong,love and connection to,😰😫😭❤🙏☦🇦🇺
Most of the still photos are real, taken of the tsar and his family before the revolution of 1917. But the films are taken from a Russian movie made in the 1970's. There were no movie cameras at the house in Ekaterinburg.
Thank you for sharing great stories please continue great documentations of this great family x
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're trying our best! Stay safe!
Maria ❤
The Romanov family was a handsome family.
What a touching and beautiful video, thank you for putting it together. A delight to hear the insightful comments about the family. Such a shame it all ended the way it did.
Yes, very interesting to hear about some of the guards views about the family.
44 the number of God
Maria is perfection.
Fascinating
they are unfortunate family to lived on earth...how cruel the world for this wonderful family.
There have been other unfortunate people in history as well.
Too bad about the Tsar and his family, but the real tragedy is the long collective nightmare the Russian people lived through for so many years after these events.
The nightmare of the Russian people was their total acceptance of a political system that did not benefit them, only the many, many councils and leaders the system created.
And before
The Russian guards behaved like treacherous savages
Some did, but it seems that some were better.
It's interesting that when the family was executed it didn't end there the case continued with the mystery of Anastasia there were several imposters though none was her all the books about that and movies until it was discovered with modern technology that she died with her family but while it lasted it was fascinating and interesting
Rumours spread that at time od captivity that nicholas would be spent to Moscow for a trail he even mentioned in his diary trail plan was made by trotsky but this plan was cancelled by Lenin ural soviets.
Amen Very Sad Touching Story We Christians Must Face Like this During Tribulation In Jesus Name Amen.
Nicholas was a lovely and good man; he just wasn’t a very good Czar.
I really want heard Otma's voice
I have heard that the family was sweet and devout
Thank you very much for his testimonies....love and friendships from Belgium. Eddie
Now Russia has buried her Royal family with the dignity due to them and that was very respectable. Prince Philip of England was the only one who gave his DNA. The Dutch Royals refused ! (Netherlands)
The czar would have been a good farmer his family was the most important thing to him he was a good man just not a good czar
Assuming Nicolas II was not a good tsar, they should not have murdered him and his family. That was morally wrong
@@elisabethdakak878 They were afraid that he would be returned to power someday. That's why they killed him.
I purchased you’re book, it’s so beautiful I ordered another copy so it won’t get worn. You MUST release a hardcover version! Love from USA
What an immense tragedy, not only for Russia but the world. 😔. Communism was then spread out in the world. 😟
COMMUNISM, created MORE, MISERY AND DEATH,(RUSSIAN GULAGS/PRISON CAMPS), than ANYTHING. CZAR NICHOLAS. EVER DID !! 🙄😑
It’s a shame they didn’t get the children out

Watching about Romanovs for sometime, and i could not understand what wrong did they, except some governance decision which went wrong. And atelast these kids did not do harm to anybody. Lenin was a pure evil to treat a loving family like this and finally kill them, Lenin was a bastard
Always love watching your videos. Curious though, what does tsaritsa mean?
Female Tsar.
Empress
@@lilyredhead1398 thanks
"In my head, an idea was born: Let them escape. What can I do to allow them to escape?" Imagine if he, and the other guards who saw how false the atrocity propaganda was, had been heroic enough to act on that idea. How different history could have been... No Soviet Union. No CCP.
“No Soviet Union, no CCP” Not exactly true. History would play out the same, the only difference being that the romanovs would still be alive. But besides that, no nothing would change at all
They didn't have to kill them
Lenin was afraid that they might be rescued and returned to power, so he had them killed.
Lenin is so brutal
What is the name of the piano piece in the background at 8:29 ? It is so soothing.
Fully realizing the imperial family were not perfect but far better than what the replacement is .
Molto interessante.
Tchenks. O Mein God. O God.
I am fascinated with the Romanov dynasty and have read alot of material pertaining to them. Tsar Nicholas has been remembered in history as being a poor tsar, a position he neither wanted or was prepared for. The dynasty ruled in the period of the pogroms, thus being antisemetic. Nicholas cared deeply for his wife and children and after abdicating wished he could farm in the Urals? I have never seen a photo of his wife Alix with a smile on her face which probably didn't help with her popularity. I understand she was stressed out of her sons illness. I agree Maria was extremely beautiful. It's a tragedy the way things happened. Nicholas being an autocrat (unlike the UK royals) didn't help either
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
They were antisemitic for a good reason. They destroyed Russia in the same way they tried to destroy Germany in the weimar era Do some research on who's behind Marxism, the Frankfurt school. With the stated goal to destroy Europe with perversion and depravity, which is the communist stated goal too Take a look also at the genealogy of the communist leaders, Marx, Trotsky, and it'll be clear who's behind the bolshevik coup d'etat. Even the release of the criminal Lenin himself, made to destabilize Russia with an uprising, that is blamed on the Kaiser, was actually made by (((international elements))) in the government of Germany. The bolshevik coup was always planned by them, look it up and you'll see. it was their way to enslave Europe
This made me really sad :(
I didn't like the way they done with the Romanov family after Nicolas abdication and the way they kill them.
Querido Zar✨✨💖✨✨✨🙏✨✨✨✨
When did they show pity for people dying from famine and surfdom.
Plenty. His book goes into the enormous amounts of charity and acts of compassion that they performed throughout their entire lives.
Due, to the antiquitated farming methods, crops were never large enough, to feed everyone, and the serfdom system, had been in Russia, for CENTURIES,(LONG BEFORE, ALEXANDER'S TIME), ENGLAND, had a (SIMILAR), "CLASS SYSTEM" IN PLACE, AT THE TIME !! 🙄🙄
Peace in their graves
Ecclesiastes 12:7
Prefer Oleg Yankovsky's portrayal of Nicolas. The Tsars Assassin.
Это пишет внучка, оставшейся в живых дочки царя Николая Романова, Анастасии. Я хотела здесь рассказать, что произошло через 100 лет после убийства моего прадеда и его детей. Мой отчим, Кутенев Вадим Федорович, который был генеральным директором НАМИ, уважаемым человеком, стал убийцей, который хотел убить меня, моего сына и внуков, только за то, что мы Романовы. Это ужасное убийство он хотел совершить по поручению спец служб Германии и Великобритании, на которых он работал с 90 х годов. Он сливал нашу науку на запад за деньги и продавал промышленность. Потом на него вышла семья Михаила Романова, брата царя Николая, и через адвоката Павла Астахова, дали ему задание убить нас, потому что эта семья хотела иметь все власть и деньги. Им было мало того, что они и так обокрали мою бабушку Анастасию Романову, не признавая ее наследство. Они подкупили моего отчима для того, чтобы он убил нас. Он это начал делать, сначала неожиданно умерла моя тетя, младшая дочь Анастасии, потом моя мать, потом дядя. Следующая была я, сын и внуки. Нам удалось спастись! Мы живы... Мой отчим жив и здоров, и по прежнему угрожает нам расправой . Он находится под покровительством режима Путина и его своры, которые сами все продались немецкой разведке и служили им, делая из России концлагерь, где все умные люди за решеткой, а бандиты на свободе. Мы требуем немедленного ареста всех родственников Михаила Романова и Путина, и моего отчима!

The Russian Imperial Romanov family (Nicholas II of Russia, his wife Alexandra Feodorovna, and their five children: Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia, and Alexei) were shot and bayoneted to death by Bolshevik revolutionaries under Yakov Yurovsky on the orders of the Ural Regional Soviet in Yekaterinburg on the night of 16-17 July 1918. Also murdered that night were members of the imperial entourage who had accompanied them: court physician Eugene Botkin; lady-in-waiting Anna Demidova; footman Alexei Trupp; and head cook Ivan Kharitonov.The bodies were taken to the Koptyaki forest, where they were stripped, buried, and mutilated with grenades to prevent identification. Following the February Revolution in 1917, the Romanovs and their servants had been imprisoned in the Alexander Palace before being moved to Tobolsk, Siberia, in the aftermath of the October Revolution. They were next moved to a house in Yekaterinburg, near the Ural Mountains before their execution in July 1918. The Bolsheviks initially announced only Nicholas's death;for the next eight years, the Soviet leadership maintained a systematic web of misinformation relating to the fate of the family, from claiming in September 1919 that they were murdered by left-wing revolutionaries, to denying outright in April 1922 that they were dead. The Soviets finally acknowledged the murders in 1926 following the publication in France of a 1919 investigation by a White émigré but said that the bodies were destroyed and that Lenin's Cabinet was not responsible. The Soviet cover-up of the murders fuelled rumors of survivors. Various Romanov impostors claimed to be members of the Romanov family, which drew media attention away from activities of Soviet Russia.

If only the provisional government and the allies had exiled them to Napoleon's old house on St.Helena. They would have been safe under the British garrison and the exile away from Europe would have placated all parties.
I love Czar Nick !!!!!!

@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs great, thank you! ❤
The Czarina was not necessarily well ever. She kept her children isolated. The older girls should have been married. Not excusing what happened to her for it was a monstrous act but she did indeed always have some issues
I know I always thought that same thing Olga and Tatianna should have been married when they died, but because of the isolation that their mother did it never happened.
@@hannahskeldon7944 it could be. The family was very close. This type of closeness can only pale in comparison when the adult child finds someone offering equal or greater love. ..and that would be rare. …especially if the girls themselves are pure. There’s not much incentive to leave. Everything else would always be a step down. I’d assume the isolation their mother created was simply the result of the lack of acceptance she felt from the Russian royals. She was lonely, and the children became companions. I wouldn’t blame her though, but the snobby ones who didn’t welcome her in. Cause and effect.
I wish Alexandra was stronger than that so she can helped her family too
She actually meddled in political affairs and helped to weaken the monarchy by her recommendations of bad people to fill posts. And her reliance on Rasputin to help Alexei only damaged the monarchy more.
The beautiful red seasons of Wight terror.
