Tennis with the Romanovs

[@sirwelch9991]

Tennis was Tsar Nicholas II's favourite sport! Fitting game for a man like him. RIP.

[@lianicandrou4916]

How lovely it was for them sharing this sport amongst them! How they enjoyed it! So nice but yet such a sad feeling leaves you watching them being so happy not knowing what would happen to them! Love you Royal martyrs!

[@RomanovRoyalMartyrs]

Glad you enjoyed watching this!

[@Cru674]

So heartbreaking what happened to them. Always makes me so sad to see these photos, in view of their terrible fate.

[@krisushi1]

At least they were able to experience such joyous times together before their terrible end.

Marina Rico. They should not have been killed. But you must not forget that this dynasty was ruthless and oppresive and inflicted a lot of pain on millions of Russians.

@@katydid917 Go talk about the history in other videos, there are thousands of Bolchevik videos for you to belittle the memory of the Tsar and his family. Here it is to celebrate the life of the Romanov family, especially their children. Oh, since you know so much about history, study how many people Stalin murdered. spoiler: he killed more than Hitler.

[@louisewalker9074]

Wow! This family are just impossibly more gorgeous & glamorous now than they were when they were alive more than 100 years ago! OTMA are so beautiful & the Tzar has the loveliest, kindest face. Sweet!

[@carltongirl95]

Thankyou for sharing this I've seen many photo's of the Czar and his daughter's with racquets in hand but I've never seen a video before...it was beautiful to watch 💜

[@andersonmahoney2331]

The Romanovs were such a wonderful family weren't they?

[@joseeduardotschen9186]

Depends on your point of view. If you stick to the 7 of them NAOTMAA and see them as just the family they were fine. Now if you involve more people, decisions, politics, etc. well many points of views and opinions will arise.

[@soniabryant7401]

Sadly the Tsar made wrong political decisions, following his wife’s advice. They thought God put them in their position... and God put poor people in their position also. So never crossed their mind to make reforms to better the life of the Russian people. If you search a bit, you will find info. A good book in Nicholas and Alexandra. You learnt the social and political life of Russia under his reign. About OTMA and Alexei, that will always break my heart how the Bolsheviks kill those poor kids

[@lewissparrow7417]

I like to remember them as the wonderful family that they were and leave out all the politics. Nicholas and Alexandra had their faults (we all do, nobody's perfect after all) but they had five exceptional children and they all loved each other; they were happiest when they were together.

[@sherpenciltheartist8007]

I really enjoy watching this video I'm an avid fan of the romanovs...

[@29Marathons]

Looking forward to this clip!! It would really be interesting to see the Royal Family playing sports, including tennis!!

[@RomanovRoyalMartyrs]

We hope you'll enjoy it!

[@krisushi1]

It's such a wonder to be able to view history like this. I never knew they were involved in tennis, a game which I love also. Thank you for continuing to show such great videos. I've very much enjoyed them. Kris.🇦🇺

[@donhatter159]

I love tennis and romanov family

[@huascar66]

There is a story about a Yusupov cousin, who was a tennis professional. The cousin was invited to the Yusupov estate in Crimea at the same time The Imperial Family was in residence at their Crimean estate. Tsar Nicholas II, who was an avid tennis player, was anxious to play tennis with the cousin who was therefore invited to play tennis with the Tsar. On one serve by the cousin, the tennis ball slammed into the Tsar's ankle, injuring the Tsar so badly that the Tsar was unable to walk for several days. The Yusupov family was mortified and was very angry with their cousin for playing so hard against the Tsar. However, the Tsar was, as always, quite gracious and appreciated that the relative did not defer to the Tsar and play at a lesser level of intensity. Even so, when the relative was invited to play with the Tsar again, he toned down his game and made certain that he volleyed the tennis ball with less force and more accuracy.

[@dianetheisen8664]

It was nice to see the Family having fun and enjoying each other's company after watching the very gruesome video of their horrible muders.

[@melanieobremski8570]

Fascinating!

[@robbiewagnon5376]

Even over 100 years after their untimely, unprovoked, horrific death, they still pique our interest, still are as relevant, perhaps are even moreso.

Why is Russia so messed up it’s so sad 😭

[@ReconstructedYankee1882]

I would have loved to play a game of Tennis with them all😏😏... While I wear a blue United States Army 7th Cavalry hat with sunglasses 😎😎🇺🇲🇺🇲.🤣🤣. Trust me I'm related to Wild West Legend United States Army (Union) Private 2nd Class (Chief of Scout's) William Fredrick "Buffalo Bill" Cody of the 7th Kansas Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Cavalry Regiment from 1863-1865, 1868-1872. Lieutenant Colonel. (Brevet Major General.) George Armstrong Custer is my Great Great Great God Father.... Fun fact they both met up with Grand Duke Alexei Alexandrovich Romanov on a Buffalo and Bison hunt in 1871 to help pay off our Debts from the American Civil War (1861-1865) under President Ulysses S. Grant (1869-1877) and to help pay off Imperial Russia's debts from the Crimean War (1853-1856) but I will say Custer and his men of the elite 7th United States Army Cavalry might of died at the Battle of the Little Big Horn River, but not in vein.... They died with their boots on. They died with their boots on. You know why because a regiment lives on and has an immortal soul of its own. All for Garry Owen and glory. Our hearts so stout have got us fame for tis known from whence we came, now help me with this fine chorus our hearts so stout have got us fame for tis known from whence we came where ever they go they dread the name of Garry Owen and glory. We are the boys who none dare dun will make the mayor's and Sheriff's run and we'll regard there whole skin. Instead of spa will drink brown ale and pay the reckonin'on the nail no man for debt shall go to jail for Garry Owen and glory.🇺🇲🇺🇲

No because he had quite a severe case of Haemophilia B so playing any kind of sports would have been extremely dangerous for him.

It honestly sucks what happened to the Romanovs I would rather they rule Russia then the Soviets did I study history a lot and I love alternate history so if they ruled Russia a lot of things would’ve changed and not just in Europe and Russia that goes for China as well. All those innocent lives lost to the Soviet union and even China could’ve easily been prevented if the Romanoffs were still in power

[@andrem2633]

The communist government murder this beautiful family whatever the problems has been Russia 1900 the people lived happily, but with the Lennin and Stalin died a lot orthodoxies and great Russian people. I'm very agree the Romanov's family are martyrs. Very nice channel😁♥️

I think we should all use Neville Goddard's Revision technique and do something about this horrible thing ,believe they did not die like this create a scene in your mind of them being given a heads up from one of the daughters admirers and believe it in that they all dressed up as poor regular people wearing travelers clothing taking very little and having someone ready at a save point to rescue them*(like in the sound of music an event that actually happened the Von Trap couple had 7 children and they braved the Alps on foot to save themselves) and have them sign a ship's manifest under new names and sail off to the United States to live out the rest of they're lives in safety ....circumstancual DNA evidence doesn't matter to hell with the bolsheviks and Lenen.These people were good people people I really look up to who didnt like the place they had but loved life and each other Use Revision everyday everything is possible.Dont just sit back and do nothing use your imaginations be doers even if it has been 100 years or more Save them!!

[@ElenaVasilenka]

Thank you!!! You are so sweet

[@user-hiro_SHIMZ]

I read the autobiography of the eldest daughter of the Trap family. … Each carried a backpack and had a large suitcase in their hands. I only brought as much as I could. We don't climb mountains like in the movie, we cross the train tracks behind the site, we head to the train station called Aigen in Salzburg, and take the first train to the south 🇮🇹 north of Italy. So we stayed in a small hostel, as Martina wrote to Erica in a letter ✉️. The villagers of San Giorgio were friendly and the mountain scenery was wonderfully beautiful. We stayed there for a while. 🇮🇹 The Italian government did not pay the navy pension while my father was in 🇦🇹 Austria, but we went to San Giorgio and finally got it. Thanks to this, after spending the summer, we arrived in London. We carried passports, visas, contracts and travel permits to the United States of America. However, the visa was due to expire in 1939/3 the following year. We took the 🚂 train through 🇨🇭 Switzerland to 🇫🇷 France. Then we crossed the high waves of the Channel by boat and went sightseeing in London for just a few hours. On October 7, 1938, at 3 p.m., we took the 🚂 train to Southampton. 🚢 "The American Farmer" is anchored there.

What a lovely video! Lots of photos that I hadn't seen before (that's saying something!). The problem with the Romanovs was they liked their privacy and the Russian people never really got to see what they were really like in real life. They lived in their own little world but they knew that most people didn't live like that and the children in particular were interested in what life was like in the real world outside the Imperial Palaces. I don't blame the Tsar and Empress (they'll always be the Tsar and Empress as far as I'm concerned) for wanting to keep their children safe from anarchists, I would have done the exact same thing if I was in their shoes. Is anyone else wondering what Tsarevich Alexei was getting up to while the others were playing Tennis?

[@zzzbbbooo]

You would have done the same thing if you were in their shoes? Their love of privacy and shutting themselves away from the people and problems of the people caused their demise!
