Both monarchs were screwed over by their predecessors.

The PM can appoint the truly skilled people, and the monarch makes sure that the government doesn't fall apart and acts as the head of state (and sometimes, as Queen Victoria did fantastically with France, act as a lead diplomat). Nicholas II might have excelled in that role, but unfortunately Alexander II wasn't able to get it set up before he was assassinated.

Nicholas was very likeable as a person. Though he had low self esteem and didn't know how to run the country. But people who knew him personally rather liked the man. One Bolshevik who advocated for his execution changed his mind after meeting him at the bottom of a staircase and had to escort him elsewhere. He got to know Nicholas and concluded he was a nice man but didn't know what he was doing. He changed his mind on wanting him executed. The Emperor was not a tyrant. He was mollycoddled by his parents even the father who deemed him weak. He was delusional and wasn't really informed correctly on the circumstances of his people. His ministers and generals told him What they thought he wanted to hear. Nicholas was a fool, but he was no Stalin. He would have been a good constitutional monarch in my opinion.

What made their deaths even more tragically pointless is that women couldn't even inherit the Russian throne, and Alexei probably wouldn't have lived to adulthood. None of them were any threat.

@@Elly3981 What's worse is that if a monarch's daughters married untitled commoners, their children won't have the rights to succeed in case a succession crisis would happen. Nicholas' surviving sister (Olga Alexandrovna) happened to marry a commoner so their descendants today, even if theyre the closest to the succession claim, won't be able to because in the eyes of that law, they were commoners. So, even if Nicholas' 4 daughters survived and ended up marrying a commoner just like their aunt (most likely that they would), their children won't have any rights to claim the throne. Nicholas had tried to change the laws early on in his reign when they thought they won't have a male heir, but he was shut down by the imperial court for some reason. But then Alexei came so the succession crisis was somewhat settled and the revision was never talked again. I really find it interesting that Russia and Japan had very similar succession laws, and their dynasties suffer because of it. I find Olga's case similar to Princess Aiko of Japan now. They're both bypassed just because law dictates they shouldnt inherit when naturally they have every right to after being a first-born.

No, they werent. The youngest daughter died before the revolution as did one son "the dauphin" (heir to the throne). The oldest daughter was kept in captivity and later sent to (read ransomed) Austria. Later, she even became a queen of France when her husband (and cousin) ascended the french throne. She was queen of France for just 15 minutes before he abdicated and she once again had to go to exile where she died. She had no children and today there are no Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette descendants. The only one who died in prison was the second dauphin (son who became heir only a week or two before the revolution) who died of tuberculosis in 1795. In french revolution none of the royal children were outright murdered the way Romanov children were.

Maria was actually considered the beauty of the family. Tatiana was the better piano player than Olga because she cared less. She was the tallest and the most elegant of the sisters. The girls also were addressed by their patronymic names by the servants like Olga Nikolaevna, etc and the girls in turn weren't bossy went it came to giving instruction.

Believe me IM IN SHOCK TOO

I have always had a weird fascination with the Romanov's. I think they are in interesting family. As a writer they have a lot of story writing potential. The Mad Monk Rasputin, Anastasia's body not being found for years and the revolution. It's writing gold.

They were such beautiful girls who all deserved better! 🕊

@@brettlarch8050 It honestly felt like Alexandra was there to spoil Alexei (Nicholas was guilty of this too), and Olga was there to clean up their mess because "she was the oldest". What was even more infuriating was that Alexandra was RIGHT THERE at the same damn table, but somehow forgot SHE was the boy's mother 😑 She didn't have the heart to discipline her beloved son, but went off on her teenage daughter if she couldn't control her brother, something was suppose to be HER job. Don't spoil the child if you can't bear to discipline them.

The children sleeping on camp beds in sparse conditions was a thing the Russian Imperial family did with their children since Catherine the Great. It was not because of Alexandra’s Victorian upbringing like suggested in this video. It was very much a decision the Tsar made. Additionally Alexandria was not a hypochondriac she had multiple mental and physical health issues. I have never read a single book saying she was a hypochondriac.

I've been obsessed with OTMA and Alexei since I was young. Even when there's little left to learn, I love watching videos about them. So, thank you. Also, I didn't know Tatiana was an honorary colonel. That's a new one for me.

I actually didn’t think Maria did, it seems Lindsey is basing this on the confusion over which sister’s body is missing from the original burial site. When they did DNA testing on the remains, Alexandra, Alexei and the daughter who is body #6 all had the trait for hemophilia. American researchers think it’s Maria, but Russian researchers think it’s Anastasia and even did facial reconstruction which strongly resembles Anastasia. If the Russians are correct, it is Anastasia who is the only daughter to be a carrier.

@jamiemohan2049

@@piratesswoop725 the facial reconstruction isn't that accurate though, especially when you consider the fact that the skulls face was badly smashed. Which was another arguement for why the Americans believe it was Maria. The body was estimated to be 5'6 to 5'7 and the damage done to this skeleton correlates far more to the assassins account of what happened to Maria. But we may never really know. A lot of estimates (which could be wrong), facial reconstruction can be very hit or miss too when it comes to skulls that's face has suffered bad facial damage. But body 6 matches the height of Maria, as well as suffering the wounds attributed to what happened to her, such as being shot in the thigh and suffering blood forced trauma. Who knows though.

@@jamiemohan2049 I was under the impression from most research that it was Anastasia who was the one whose face was smashed in. The problem with the estimated heights is that no matter which of the three younger daughters you pin to a body, one of the heights will always be wrong, so you can’t firmly use heights either. In fact, it’s just as likely to say that the daughter buried with Alexei could’ve been Tatiana. No matter which sister is “missing” from the original burial site, the height estimates for body 6 are wrong.

I really like how you conveyed that. It’s so much more respectful of their personhood and experience and I appreciate seeing it.

You can say that about their father too. Nicholas was reluctant to be Tsar, all he ever wanted was to live peacefully with his family and be away from the pressure and burden of running an empire. He was a weak ruler, he didn't like the trappings of the aristocracy. All these made for very fatal combination for a man easily manipulated by his advisors and handlers. The Tsar, and especially his tsarina were also not in good term with some of the aristocracy because of their presumed aloofness and reluctance to live opulently like the rest of the aristocracy.
