Nicholas II: The Early Years | Romanov Family Photo Albums | No 1

[@MadMusicNerd]

It´s amazing to see pictures from his youth. For everybody knows the grown up men, husband and father. But seeing photos of the boy who became the last of the tsars, is almost unbelieveble.

[@RomanovRoyalMartyrs]

We are very happy you liked it, Laura!

[@muchelleeaton6131]

He was so handsome, with such a beautiful family. So sad. I can't describe how I feel every time I watch something on this, it's just so violent and unnecessary to have killed this family. I think he would have went away quietly, and lived the rest of his days a happy family man, a commoner with a beautiful family.

Его предложения в Гааге, попытки, навести порядок в стране, уже были тщетны! Уже, закрутились винтики, революции, подогреваемые Западом! Такая махина, как Россия, бурлила давно, со времён его деда Александра 2. А в его правление, революция вырвалась, фонтаном!! Он, государь, который знал свою судьбу, судьбу страны своей!!!

The fate of the last Romanov generations have extremely beautiful, tragical and cruel aspects that seem to me like a metaphor for Russia and it’s people. It’s often said, that the poverty of the people and the hard decisions of the Government has led to the murder of the Emperor and his family. What has it solved? It would have been hard enough for them to get banished, but killing the whole family, two of their servants, the chef and their doctor? There’s no excuse for inhumanity.

The Romanov Royal Martyrs, it is extremely appalling how the filthy soviet communists justify the horrific murder of the royal family, including the kids. Surely, the tsar might be incompetent but that does not make him an evil person. You can see in his eyes the kindness and faith which was felt my his immediate family. Reading some comments in reddit, it does occur to me that the barrage of lies against the royal family initiated by the commies poisoned the minds of the narrow-minded. How could someone compare Nicholas to Hitler and Stalin?

His mother, and two sisters escaped, though just in time. Lenin had long planned for all Romanovs to die. It was rumoured the Bolsheviks were on their way to Dagmar, her daughters and her daughters children to kill them. But they were liberated just before this could happen.
