Under The Romanov Dynasty
In early 1917 the Romanov Dynasty had 65 members, 18 of whom were killed by the Bolsheviks. The remaining 47 members were exiled abroad."[3] In 1924, Grand Duke Kirill Vladimirovich, the direct male-line patrilineal descendant of Alexander II of Russia, claimed the headship of the defunct Imperial House of Russia. Since 1991, the succession to the former Russian throne has been disputed over validity of marriages. Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna of Russia claims to hold the title of Empress in pretense with her only child, the 34-year-old George Mikhailovich, as heir apparent.

    Who Was Responsible For The Romanov's Downfall

    In July 1918, the royal Romanov line was suddenly and brutally ended by the Bolsheviks. The Romanov family had ruled the Russian Empire for over three centuries. The Romanovs reign was one of strict tyranny. Tsar Nicholas II of Russia made one big step toward a more equal Russia by freeing the serfs but because the serfs owned no land they had little to no money still. After WWI when nicholas led Russia to a crushing defeat there was lots of unrest throughout Russia. I think that the main reason the Tsar was forced to abdicate the throne and then was slaughtered is that he made a more equal Russia but in doing so he made the serfs more impoverished than ever, that he had led Russia into multiple wars that had ended badly and that the technology…

    Summary: Romanov Dynasty

    Nicholas II, the last tsar of Russia, had neither the qualities nor the desire to rule imperial Russia. Born in Tsarskoye Selo in 1868, Nicholas was the eldest son of Alexander III, the fearsome tsar who had reimposed autocracy and oppression on the Russian empire after the murder of Alexander II. Those who met the young tsarevich, described him as pleasant and likeable, but otherwise unremarkable – hardly the traits of a man ordained by God to rule Russia. Nicholas famously expressed reluctance about taking the throne, declaring that he “never wanted to rule”. But tradition…

    Romanov Family Research Paper

    In 1917, a famous revolution led tsar Nicholas II and his immediate family to be abdicated from the Russian throne. The same year, the family was killed, leading to the Romanov family to end its several century long reign. But why exactly was the Romanov family killed? Did they not care for the wellbeing of their citizens? Were they simply just too corrupt for any good? There are several answers to this question, the main ones being governmental corruption, a belief of superiority, and an unreasonable amount of bloodshed in WWI.…

    The Last of the Romanovs

    The first person to impact the fall of Imperial Russia was Nicholas II, the last Russian Emperor. In particular, Nicholas’ coronation marked the beginning of a downward spiral for the Romanov family. Tsar Nicholas II was born on May 6, 1868 and was the eldest son of Alexander III (Levykin, 1999). Nicholas II had to assume the throne earlier than the Russian population would have liked. Nicholas’ father fell ill in the spring of 1894 and his health never fully recovered. On October 20th, 1894, Alexander III died of nephritis, forcing Nicholas to become the next Tsar of Russia at a young age (Lincoln, 1976). After the untimely death of his father, Nicholas was in dismay about becoming Tsar of Russia, a position he never really wanted. This is exemplified when Nicholas II refers to being the Tsar as, “the awful job I have feared all my life” (Massie, 1967, p. 59). To further Nicholas’ fears, the Russian people and government believed he didn’t have enough political training to rule Russia effectively (Harcave, 1968).…

    19th Century Russia

    Entering the 19th century, Finland was a part of the Kingdom of Sweden. Then, in 1809 it became a Grand Duchy under Russian rule, and finally, after periods of both greater and lesser degrees of independence, it becoming an independent country in 1917. Finland initially joined Sweden in the 13th century and then remained under Swedish control for about 600 years. Then, in the Finnish War of 1809, Russia captured Finland, which lead to Finland becoming a Grand Duchy in the Russian empire. During Russian control, there was an initial period of relative peace and positive development. However, 1881 marked a significant change when Russia began a period of Russification that attempted to completely erase the Finnish culture. The anger of the…

    Tsar Nicholas II

    The abdication of the Tsar Nicholas II brought light to ideologies that were present in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Sentiment towards that Tsar was negative as the USSR was ruled by a small nobility with a population that was composed of mainly peasants. The main groups trying to cause revolution in the USSR were the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks. Both groups had ideologies that were based on Marxism, and they were anti-Tsar with the Mensheviks having a longer-term plan and the Bolsheviks wanting rapid change. The Bolsheviks rose and rapid change commenced as a result. Vladimir Lenin lead the Bolsheviks up until his death, and his successor, Joseph Stalin, kept the idea of rapid change by implementing five-year plans. The…
