Michael Romanov feels like such an underrated historical figure. He unwillingly accepted the role of Tsar, inherited a volatile country, faced political and personal betrayals yet stayed true to his convictions and geared Russia towards development. He laid the groundwork for his successors and didn't let anyone else rule him. Truly a man who is overlooked despite being the founder of one of the greatest empires in the world.

I am Russian (real Russian, not just of Russian descent :), and I am learning SO MUCH MORE from this documentary than I "learned" in all my middle and high school years! I always found our history textbooks boring and poorly written, and the two history teachers we had could not really engage and fascinate us. Basically, we were only learning the chronology of events, without being told the exciting stories and personalities that were behind those events. Thank you for this fun and education!

[@Guns-and-Moses]

Real Russian? You're writing sounds Real American to me. I always thought "Real Russians" are the ones that actually love the Fatherlamd way to much to ever leave it. Let me ask you a question. The newly re-aquired lands of Crimea have many people there that were born and bred citizens of Ukraine. Are they real Russians? Are Russian Jews that have never known any other country, real Russians? Are the people of Dagestan, Tatarstan, Chechnya real Russians? Was Stalin a real Russian? How many real Russians have roots originating in Mongolia. Do Moscovites really believe that anyone not from Moscow is really anything other than at best a 2nd class Russian. Do People from St.Petersberg see themselves as Russians first or are the Peterskayi first and foremost. What a waste of Earth that country really is. How many millions and millions of real Russians no longer exist because other MORE Real Russians had them murdered throughout your real Russian history. So much land so few Real Russians left. Yes Russian people are clever , intelligent, self centered and snobbish. But morons. Morons who allow themselves be overrun and overburdened by tyrants, oligarchs, etc. You fall for the Cult of Personality. You need a strong Dictator to rule because you're all so unruly and really unbrotherely with one another. It's everyman for himself land. I was born there too. Disgusting

Murdered in a jewish blood ritual

[@i.p.956]

I wonder if this reluctance of the first Romanov acted as a form of familial curse which was carried out throughout the generations

[@snafuart]

@@i.p.956 Could be, impo most likely even. There are many hidden traits and also, on the negative side, even disorder creating habits, which are passed through generations in family, often very hidden. The impact of a throne would even make them stronger. I definitely would not call the reluctance a curse when it comes to the Romanows, I would definitely call it a strong trait fitting great rulers in a cardinal way. People with this trait are often immune to the destructive obsession power can have. Which is a good thing if you are the ruler.

How cool that he actually WASHED the coins and the virus didn't get to the military because of his foresight. Brilliant stuff.

[@travismiller5548]

I was struck by that too. seemed ahead of their time on that idea.. but then again, how long can plague survive on a coin? idk. might have had something to do with the fact that the money was going to an army... all their food that rats might get at is moved constantly. no walls for mice and rats to set up and get cozy in (and spread plague) when you're in a military tent. and armies maybe don't haul their sick with them?

[@narnzipan]

@@travismiller5548 if the coins were made from copper it would totally make sense... Did you know that 95% of bacterias die when left on a copper surface? This is why old door handles and hand surfaces (staircase railings etc) were made from copper! It prevented disease from spreading. Cool huh? We should still be producing things with copper surfaces. And it wasn't that they left the dead behind, it was that NO one in the military contracted the disease to begin with. They have also since discovered that it wasn't rats that carried the disease, it was the fleas that lived on them that carried it. Fleas that can easily live on other animals.

This is a most beautiful fairy tale of Russian history of Romanovs time 1613-1917. The most wicked deeds of czars are hidden very well. This is a evil power, to core. How Peter burnt and destroyed downs of Baltic states...it`s just a very nice story without real history impact to many other nations. Mr Gorbachev had a outrageousness to claim very high cost, which russian people have paid of joining Soviet Union, you wicked fools...what cost paid other nations of russians coverners power lust. Who needed their czar to covern. Russia is a evil power and stays that way, othervise, they just can`t be democratic, somebody needs to give them whip. But other nations, really don`t need their`s grand czars

[@ellieaquitaine6396]

@@miesmetsast Theodore 'appears' to be a fair and kind czar, reducing taxes e.g. Is there any literature that gives a true account of Russian history? I'm Australian. We are ruled by corruption. Is any country ruled fairly? None that I know of. I would love to learn about modern day Russia. I used to have a Russian neighbour many years ago. She said when she returned to visit family they would acquire a lot of food for her stay. She was so sad to leave because she knew they would have no food for weeks. She was a lovely lady but we moved and lost touch with her.
