The Last Empress of Russia | Alexandra Feodorovna

Who was the real Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna? She has been described as haughty and cold, but was she really like that? Learn here the truth about one of modern history’s most discussed personalities. Her words, “In my heart is love and forgiveness for everything, though at times I am not as patient as I ought to be. I want to be a better woman, and I try” can be understood only if one studies the reality about her physical and psychological background.
Nicholas B.A. Nicholson was interviewed by Elissa Bjeletich about the content of the book “The Romanov Royal Martyrs: What Silence Could Not Conceal” and the show was broadcast live on February 9, 2020, on Ancient Faith Radio.
“The Romanov Royal Martyrs” is an impressive 512-page book, featuring nearly 200 black & white photographs, and a 56-page photo insert of more than 80 high-quality images, colourized by the acclaimed Russian artist Olga Shirnina (Klimbim), and appearing here in print for the first time.

Being shy, fiercely private and uncomfortable in public situations don’t make for a good Empress. I think this is why Nicky’s parents were so opposed to Alix. They could see she was not Empress material. But she was a wonderful mother & a devoted friend.

[@RomanovRoyalMartyrs]

That's very true! She had very strong spiritual watchfulness and sincere self-awareness, which constituted the most severe judge of her soul. She wrote: “My greatest sin is my irritability. … I want to be a better woman, and I try. For long periods I am really patient, and then breaks out again my bad temper.” This constant severe self-examination made her a true soldier of Christ who trod the path of holiness to the end.

[@destinyclark4133]

@@joemar6411 Alexandra was naive in the sense that she thought the people of Russia would love the Romanov family no matter what, but she most definitely cared about the Russian people, which is why she and Nicholas paid for all the coffins and funerals of the people who died in the crowed during the coronation who had come to get the free food that was being given out. They also openly mourned the deaths of all who died in Bloody Sunday, not to mention she transformed one of the Romanov mansions into a hospital for all of the wounded men in WW 1 and personally cared for many of the patients there, devoting almost all of her time to them. The popularity of the Romanov family had already been on a decline since the 1870s and especially after the bombing of Tsar Alexander lll father which caused him to ripped up the treaty his father had made in anger and grief, which ironically was actually going to guarantee more freedoms for the people of Russia. So really if it hadn’t been for the Russian people themselves, they would have gotten the freedoms they wanted a lot sooner, the Romanov family wouldn’t have been held hostage for years and brutality murdered, and there would probably still be a Russian monarchy today.

@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs Thank you for providing this resource so we can learn more about the Romanovs. I'm a history major, and am appalled how students aren't taught history in the modern era, but propagandized rewritten history, that is taken out of the context of the period, and is misguidedly judged within the context of the modern era. You can't judge history using the standards of today! Our world, the environment, standards and conditions of life with modern technology, advanced modern medicine, computerized factories and industrial farms, jet travel, cell phone communication, internet social media connection, interstate highway systems for transport and travel, have created a life style environment, and life experiences so foreign to our ancestors that lived over 100 years ago, or the people that lived in (Russia a century ago), as the Romanovs; that it's impossible for the people to accurately judge with honesty and clarity, and in depth understanding, the circumstances surrounding the period of that time. Not to mention, the totalitarian environment of war and revolution, which was a life and death struggle for existence, that could change within a second depending on where and how the revolutionary winds blew. Combine that with starvation, peasant revolts, brutal winters, the after math and chaos of WWI, and the Bolshevik Revolution, you literally are plunged into a World at War, between itself, within itself, with all the elements of nature, disease, starvation, and antiquated technology to survive it. Compassion didn't exist then, not even for nuns and orphans.

[@annfeeney1662]

Tiffany Sanchez Romanov Cousin king of England made a cowardly decision to deny the Romanov’s a life in England .

[@coyotedust]

British plans to save the family fall through. Britain regretted the offer almost immediately. The government was nervous having the Romanovs on British shores, while George V’s private secretary, Lord Stamfordham, feared an uprising against the monarchy. The king soon urged the government to rescind the offer, leaving him open to claims that he abandoned his family for politics. “I think he’s been scapegoated for too long,” says Helen Rappaport, author of The Race to Save the Romanovs: The Truth Behind the Secret Plans to Rescue the Russian Imperial Family, adding, “[Not to] exonerate King George, not at all. He had a role he could have played more effectively…But the chips were down and they had to choose.” George V expressed his concern for his cousins in private letters, but he knew the situation was precarious as most Brits at the time called the former czar “Bloody Nicholas.” They also despised the German-born Alexandria just as much, as anti-German sentiment was at such a fever pitch that George V eventually changed the royal family’s name from the very German “Saxe-Coburg-Gotha” to the thoroughly British “Windsor.” Great Britain also needed to tread lightly with the new Provisional Government in Russia; it would be a disaster for the Allies if Russia succumbed to internal pressure and withdrew from World War I. Personally, I can't imagine not saving my cousins. The story is a horrible tragedy of innocents.

[@annfeeney1662]

Alexandra Feodorovna your name sounds like one of those Russian royal names . I guess you’ve been told that before . I still don’t agree with George’s decision . The Russian Czar was his cousin . They were like brothers . I would’ve taken them in and worried about the consequences later . there was no need to murder that family . Of course , Shay the bolsheviks did was a predictor of their brutality . The czar was clueless about how the poor were suffering , I agree . Someone needed to pull. Nicholas’’ head out of the clouds . Oh, well .i guess it was supposed to happen , just like the crucifixtion of Jesus was supposed to happen . Both events are sad events in history .

Her mother Alice was also a very progressive, was a feminist, fiercely independent, to the point that Queen Victoria would scold her in her letters to Alice. Alice also supported the Hessians as Prussia violently tried to unify Germany; that's is when she began nursing, during that war. I find it amusing that Victoria chided her daughter Alice and admonished her that women should be publicly retiring and not take on roles of leadership, while always encouraging her eldest daughter, Vicky, the Prussian Crown Princess to try to affect more matters of Prussian policy, even as Bismarck disliked and distrusted both Vicky and Prince Albert, her father who foresaw the peaceful unification of Europe.

[@ryanborder189]

Whether you are a Republican or a Monarchist we can all agree that these were exceptionally good people who met the most abominable end. They may have sat atop a system that needed enourmous and radical change but to treat them in this way is one of the great crimes of the 20th Century. The more I learn about them the more admiration I have for the goodness of their lives and the more appalled I become at their treatment and that includes the Tsar and Tsarina but particularly those entirely innocent children.

The Romanov Royal Martyrs ...I am going to buy the book. I have always been very sympathetic to the family and have read about them intermittently through the decades.

It’s hard to know that these people met such a horrible end, they weren’t just murdered they were desecrated. I feel what happened to them can’t be forgiven but good must come from it, this book looks incredible. As silly as it sounds I can see one day the monachy being restored, at least as a constitutional one I think Russia’s still coming to terms with what happened, rest in peace your majesty.

[@donnalowe9334]

The Tsarina had to be an INFJ personality, complex and deeply faithful who are very intelligent but not the showman or show off type. The type to observe and see details others miss entirely. Hearts of gold, concern for others and never quite knowing themselves since they pick up on the feelings of others as if they are their own feelings. No wonder the Czar was so in love with her. A beautiful love story. Perhaps Twin Flames. Odd but much of that could connect to vagus nerve conditions.

Wait, if she couldn't abide fake people, and could sniff them out, how was it that she was sooo easily duped by Rasputin? He lied right to her face, he went around spreading lies and rumors about her. When she was told about his behavior she insisted it was some other person impersonating him. Even when the family went to her, saying they were worried about what he was doing to the family's reputation, and they were concerned about the fact that he had been found alone in girl's bedroom. She still turned a blind eye to it all.

In many of the portraits, the Empress has such a sad, faraway look sometimes. She must have suffered greatly in her life.

[@RomanovRoyalMartyrs]

Very true! Her suffering is something only a mother can understand, who herself has undergone (or is undergoing) the same trial. Alexandra was watching her child dying in agonizing pain, and she was feeling responsible for his condition because it was through her that the disease was transmitted to him. Imagine that! To be a mother and to know that you have transmitted a disease to your child, which kills him slowly and causes him unimaginable pain! Well... Words are poor to express this. And this is just one aspect of her tragedy! There were so many more sides to it. We refer to them in our video, but of course, only touching the tip of the iceberg. In our book, we cover this subject extensively.

[@joseeduardotschen9186]

Reading Nicholas and Alexandra by Robert K. Massie. I am impressed and appalled by Alexandra’s meddling in politics with their Friend Rasputin influence and direction. Dismissing, appointing ministers, removing, etc. We might have to thank her for helping bringing down the monarchy. Without experience and handling an empire?!?! No doubt it didn’t work.

[@johnpickford4222]

Jose Eduardo Tschen: You have very little or no knowledge of what you speak; you border on being an idiot. Alexandra did not ‘meddle’ to help bring down the empire. With the Tsar at the front, the very nature of Russia’s government meant she was in charge. A deeply religious woman who relied on Rasputin, as she believed an earthly agent of God, it was only natural she would rely on him to assist her in making ministerial appointments. No, it was not a wise choice but neither was for the Tsar to take control of the troops in WWI and to get involved in the war. It was just a complete tragedy by individuals who honestly thought they were orchestrating the correct course.

A beautiful introduction to the family and book, done so beautifully and colorized so realistically. We will never in our lifetime, ever experience an era again, when Christian godly families emulated Christ and practiced the teachings of saints of our beloved Church like the Romanov family that have been canonized. This beautiful family physically exquisite as well as angelically beautiful spiritually, are part of our Christian and Orthodox heritage and past. May we emulate such grace within times of such heathenism. The evils the Romanov's faced were the physical violent sins of their environment, may we fight this spiritual world for their memory and honor.
