Romonov+Dynasty

The Romanov Dynasty was the last of Tsarist rule in Russia; it ended with the murders of Tsar Nicholas II and his family. Listed are the contributors to the fall of the dynasty :

Alexander III The Tsar the preceded Nicholas. He was against any modernization; he strongly preferred the conservation of the absolute monarchy. Russia was drawn into the war under him as well.

Nicholas II Son of Alexander III. He became Tsar after his father died suddenly. He admitted "I am not ready to be Tsar...." and in his lack of readiness, he ruled like his reactionary father. He was highly unfavored. While Rasputin (see below) was with his family, Nicholas was stationed near the eastern front during the World War I in hopes of rallying up the soldiers.

Rasputin A mysterious holy man. Tsarina Alexandra, Tsar Nicholas II's wife, was easily swayed by Rasputin politically because of his healing powers towards her son, Alexei. Alexei had inherited the hemophiliac gene from his grandmother Queen Victoria, which subsequently kept his mother in fear for his health. However, because of his corruption of the Russian government while the Tsar was gone, Russian nobility plotted to kill him. He was shot, shot again and thrown into a river. He died of drowning. Rasputin allegedly foretold that if someone of Romanov blood were to participate in his death, the Nicholas ' rule would crumble in less than two years; his prediction came true.

Romanov Killings July 16, 1918. The Royal Romanov family was shot in Yekaterinburg, Russia by leaders of the Bolshevik Party. Although it is disputed whether or not Lenin had anything to do with the murders, it is clear that the deaths of the Romanov family signaled a new chapter of the Russian government.
