His controversial role in the Russian court, particularly with Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra, led to his assassination in 1916 amidst political turmoil and war.

Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov, the fourth child and fourth consecutive daughter for Russian Tsar Nicholas II and his wife Tsarina Alexandra, was a disappointment at the time of her birth. She wasn't the long-awaited son and heir for the couple. He would come along three years later. And, well, the rest of the tragic story of the Russian imperial family is fairly well-known. But Anastasia has led a remarkable life post her premature assassination by the Bolsheviks in 1918. Rumours of her survival and escape to Europe swirled in the post-war years, culminating in a multitude of imposters claiming to be her. The true story of Anastasia and the Romanov family is so tragic, it's hard to believe anyone would want to make a movie out of it, let alone an animated movie, and a musical at that. Don Bluth and Gary Goldman's 1997 animation can hardly be accused of historical accuracy, but as the rival for Disney's princess-based movies of their Renaissance, Anastasia more than holds her own, with beautiful animation, an all-star voice cast, and a wonderful score and songs. Ironically, despite the rivalry between Fox and Disney at the time, Disney now own Fox, and they also now own Anastasia. That doesn't make her a Disney Princess, but it makes her close to being one. I would love to hear your thoughts on Anastasia! GET IN TOUCH....

" Anastasia - Anastasia was born on 18 June 1901. She was the fourth daughter of Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra. When she was born, her parents and extended family were disappointed that she was a girl. They had hoped for a son who would have become heir apparent to the throne. Her father went for a long walk to compose himself before going to visit his wife and their newborn child for the first time.[5] Her paternal aunt Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna of Russia said, "My God! What a disappointment!... a fourth girl!"[6] Her first cousin twice removed Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich wrote, "Forgive us, Lord, if we all felt disappointment instead of joy. We were so hoping for a boy, and it's a daughter." "Anna Anderson (16 December 1896 – 12 February 1984) was an impostor who claimed to be Grand Duchess Anastasia of Russia.[1] Anastasia, the youngest daughter of the last Tsar and Tsarina of Russia, Nicholas II and Alexandra, was murdered along with her parents and siblings on 17 July 1918 by communist revolutionaries in Yekaterinburg, Russia, but the location of her body was unknown until 2007.[2][3]." --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theysusannamaeohagan/support

103 years ago this week, the last of the Romanovs - Tsar Nicholas II, Tsarina Alexandra, and their 4 children, Olga, Tatianna, Maria, Anastasia, and Alexei – were murdered in a basement in the House of Special Purpose in Yekaterinberg. So much of what we believe about history depends on whose voices we are allowed to hear telling us the story, and for decades the voices of the Romanovs remained suppressed - just like the true location of their final resting place. This week, John welcomes authors and translators Helen Azar and George Hawkins, both of whom have been instrumental in bringing those voices back and, in so doing, correcting and further illuminating our understanding of 20th century Russia history. Together they wrote and translated Maria Romanov: Third Daughter of the Last Tsar, Diaries and Letters, 1908–1918, published in August of 2020. More about Helen's work can be found on her website, The Romanov Family - Their history in their own words

Robert K. Massie, a journalist and historian whose focus was on the Russian House of Romanov, and who won the Pulitzer Prize in 1981 for his biography of Peter the Great, died on December 2, 2019 at the age of ninety. Along with a well-received biography of Catherine the Great, he was also known for his books about Czar Nicholas, the Tsarina Alexandra, and the final days of the Romanov dynasty in Ekaterinaberg in Siberia. On November 4, 1995, Richard A. Lupoff and Richard Wolinsky had a chance to interview Robert K. Massie while he was on tour for his book, The Romanovs: The final Chapter, which dealt with events long after the Russian Revolution, from those claiming to be Romanov descendants to the disinterment of the Royal family's bones after the Soviet Union fell. The royal family, minus the two missing children, were formally reburied in St. Petetr and Paul's Cathedral in St. Petersburg on July 17, 1998. They were canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church in 2000. The remains of the Tsaravich Alexei and his sister Maria were discovered in Siberia in 2007 and were eventually interred alongside their family and the rest of the Romanovs. Massie's description of the power of the Czars in relation to the Duma, the legislature of Russia at the time of the Revolution, sounds very Trumpian.     The post Robert K. Massie (1929-2019) appeared first on KPFA.

First let me take time to thank everyone who has been supportive since our launch, am happy to state that we have hit more than a 1000 regular readers + listeners across multiple channels. I want to take this opportunity to thank all the folks who keep encouraging me by sending articles & books, feedback, topics to explore. I also want to thank Anu, Arshdeep and the Kwazi team that have breathed life into my hobby with their design and consulting on channel and content type strategies. The Romanovs were an all powerful autocratic dynasty that had ruled Russia for about 300 years. Furthermore the emperors of Russian, British and German empires were all first cousins. And inspite of a powerful army, rich long heritage and strong royal relationships, the Russian empire collapsed. Amongst many reasons, there is one prominent player who can claim the credit for this - he wasn't a king or a general, wasn't a minister or banker, wasn't a revolutionary or a influencing author - just a uneducated peasant - and he broke the spine of this all powerful empire. His name was Rasputin. Grigori Raputin was the forerunner of several of todays so called 'sadhus' and 'anandas'.. This self styled godman gained access to the Winter palace to treat Russian prince. Slowly and steadily our man Rasputin started building on the goodwill and dependence bestowed on him by the Tsarina Alexandra and hence the Tsar.. The crazy part of the Rasputin story was that of his assassination. Several members of the Royal family who had attempted convincing Nikolai to get rid of Rasputin & had failed in that attempt, decided to take matters into their own hands. It took poisoned wines & cakes, close range gun shots and also drowning in a completely frozen river - to get rid of Rasputin #history #masalahistory #worldwar1 #russia #lastczar #rasputin #podcast #historypodcast #russianrevolution #godman #ussr

We're sitting in the drawing room of Lady Pamela Hicks' home in Oxfordshire listening intently to Lady Pamela's mesmerising stories. It's just India and her mother Lady Pamela and Lisa the producer recording it and putting it all together. We've chosen to have no studio, no formalities just plenty of conversation and of course tea and cake. This episode is all about Princess Alice, mother to Prince Philip and of course mother in law of Queen Elizabeth, a lady who lived a remarkable life in some turbulent and challenging periods of history. She was born in Windsor Castle, in the presence of her Great Grandmother Queen Victoria, and later married Prince Andrew of Greece. Her two aunts - Grand Duchess Elizabeth and Tsarina Alexandra - were both killed in the Russian Revolution and her daughter Cecile died in a plane crash. She was exiled twice and during During World War II and sheltered a family from the Nazis. Following a religious crisis she spent some years in a sanatorium in Switzerland and later established an order of nuns, living a life of extreme frugality dedicated to raising money for charity. As Lord Mountbatten's older sister she was of course Lady Pamela's aunt and on this episode Lady Pamela tells us some of her memories of the remarkable chain-smoking, canasta playing Princess Alice.

Alexandra Feodorovna, formerly Princess Alix Victoria Helena Louise Beatrice Von Hesse and By Rhine, was grand daughter to Queen Victoria, daughter of Princess Alice of Great Britain, and the last Tsarina of Russia. As a young woman, Alex fell in love with Nicholas, the heir to the Russian throne. The feelings were mutual, and they were married, but instead of living happily ever after, their lives were set on course for tragedy of epic proportions, the repercussions of which are still felt to this day, over a hundred years later.

Frances Welch, The Imperial Tea Party with Donna Freed Frances Welch has had a life long interest in the last days of the Russian Tsars. The Romanov family was intricately entwined with the British royal family - the Tsarina Alexandra was Queen Victoria's purportedly favourite granddaughter - and there were 3 important imperial visits between the two families. The visits had varying degrees of success and the subtle differences in perceived hierarchy, power and personal style made for strained relations. Add to that, political and societal pressures, Frances asks: how inevitable was the end?  https://shortbooks.co.uk/book/the-imperial-tea-party @shortbooksUK #ImperialTeaParty  #RadioGorgeous

On 11 and 13 February 1903, the Winter Palace, St Petersburg, was the venue for one of the most opulent costumed entertainments hosted by a Russian Tsar. It was also to be the last. In reviving the spectacle of the Romanov’s gilded past, Nicholas II, his family and court, demonstrated the untenable gulf that existed between their privilege and the poverty of their subjects. The golden, bejewelled and furred costumes worn at the Ball symbolise a moment, at once triumphant and tragic, just before two opposed worlds clashed violently in the Russian Revolution.  Today, the spectre of the Romanovs continues to compel and cautionary lessons exist for those willing to heed them. The gulf between rulers and ruled, leisure and labour, continues to create problems in the twenty-first century, and costume remains adept at conveying this. Recent commentary on Melania Trump’s clothing presents strong parallels with Tsarina Alexandra, whose ball gown may have cost $10 million. If the Romanov Ball is important for marking a specific point in time, it is also significant for reflecting broader themes and tensions between the ideal and reality of authority and society. It shows, too, how these attitudes are reflected in what we wear, sometimes with unintended and tragic results.

Some historical events leave scars on the minds of contemporaries that last long enough to become legends. The execution of the family Romanov in a Siberian cellar under the cover of night and the shroud of secrecy, was one such event. In 1917 the last Tsar of all the Russias, Nicholas II, was murdered along with Tsarina Alexandra, and their four daughters: Olga, Tatiana, Marie, Anastasia, and their only son, Alexei. It's almost to horrible to imagine. So the public did what the public does best. They imagined something else. What if, they asked in whispers, what if, one of them managed to escape? Then maybe, the whispers willed that hope to life. It must have seemed that way when a mysterious woman appeared in Berlin years later. Her body and memory were full of holes and badly scarred, but there was something regal in her bearing. She would become known as Anastasia, Grand Duchess, Anna Anderson, Fraud, and a puzzle for all of those who wished the fairy tale princesses of Imperial Russia to have a happier ending. Join us this week as we dive into the history of the fall of the Romanovs and ask why no one wanted to see that Anastasia's escape was just a story.
