    Maria was always my favorite of OTMA, she was apparently incredibly strong. When no advisors could be found, she was the one who carried Alexei. She could lift him with one arm. She was incredibly compassionate, and a dedicated protector of her brother and her parents. That’s why she volunteered to go to Siberia before her siblings. In a way, despite the horribleness of it, it’s almost fitting in a way that her and Alexei were buried together, and are still apart from the rest of the family. It’s almost like Maria is still saying “I can protect Alexei.” And I bet her parents would be comforted to know that she’s there with him.

      Anastasia was super close to Alexei but Maria like all of her sisters, adored their little sunshine so much.
      But Maria took after their grandfather, Alexander III, a tall burly man (he allegedly lifted a train cart roof off his family after an accident he was in!). During the execution, she was said to have been trying to break the storage room doors down, and that is just so heartbreaking to me. Maskha was a black sheep at times, O&T called her their stepsister, while A. could care for her a lot but M. would go around after her apologizing for her behavior.
      Nicholas once said he thought she was going to sprout wings because of how much of an angel she was. (she stole a cookie and he didn't even get mad, it's one of my favorite quotes about her)

    Apparently, it’s actually easy to explain Rasputin’s supposed miracles. For one, he had an amount of knowledge on plants and herbs, meaning he knew to tell the palace doctor to not give Alexei Aspirin, considering it’s a blood thinner. As to lessening his pain, he wasn’t calming Alexei, he was calming Alexandra. Children, especially young children like Alexei often have a heightened emotional state when their parents are distressed. With Rasputin having an ability to reassure and calm the Tsarina, it has the reciprocal affect of helping to calm Alexei, and thus reducing his pain and allowing his body to focus on repair, rather then stress or pain

      @islamisthetruewaytogod6812 2 개월 전

      Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. Thank you very much for your time.

      Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
      Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
      Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
      Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
      Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
      Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
      Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
      Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
      Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
      It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
      (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..
      God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.”

      George V was told by many advisors and the government at the time, that by allowing the Romanovs to come to Britain, the same thing could happen to them especially since they were at war with the Germans who were under the leadership of George V's and Nicholas II's other cousin, Wilhelm II. After the news spread that Nicholas II was killed, George V was in deep mourning and felt guilty for the death of his cousin. He had no clue as to what happened to the family. He did however managed to bring his aunt, Nicholas II's mother, Maria, alongside 17 other Romanov family members to Britain for refuge. In his diary, George V goes on to say, "It was a foul murder. I was devoted to Nicky, who was the kindest of men and thorough gentleman: loved his country and people." He would go on to feel guilty for Nicolas' death for many years.

They liked the language, it reminded them of home yet it was far away enough from Russia. And that's the story of my family

Olga and Tatiana were killed quickly while their youngest sisters suffered so greatly. Knowing Anastasia most likely died outside is horrific.

After the revolution of 1905, Nicholas actually had a chance to get a fledgeling democracy going that might have tempered the urge for violent revolution but he didn't listen to anyone and simply reminded everyone he was Tsar by divine right.

      Lenin and the Bolsheviks like Trotsky, were not originally murderers. That came later with Stalin. They were, however, prepared to use violence to achieve their ends. This is not really very different from the attitudes of the American revolutionaries or the opposite numbers in France.
      As for numbers, they are always rubbery and people seem to think they have a right to make up any number they like to stoke the flames of moral outrage. The Russian Civil War probably resulted in the deaths of as many as ten million people. But anyone who then says the Bolsheviks murdered 10 million people in the Civil War would be lying. It has been variously estimated that 1.3 million died behind Red lines and 1.7 million behind White lines. The rest died of famine and disease. This was part of the reason the Reds won. They were brutal, for sure, but in the end they simply killed fewer people.

    I've read as to how they were murdered and its heart breaking shooting them all, including their staff and servants, to death, including bayonet or stabbing them. And even that wasnt enough because they threw their bodies in acid and burned their bones and they had to rebury them twice. They even killed their pets.

    Alix was a curse that fell upon the Romanov family. She had total influence on the tsar and made decisions for him. She was very out of touch with the people, their poverty and reality. Her own sister Elizabeth tried talking sense to her but she a very stubborn woman wouldn't listen to anyone's advice. She was overly pious, arrogant and obsessed with her son Alexei and mysticism. If she had been a responsible mother, she would have gotten Olga and Tatiana married off as both of them were in marriageable age. If they had been married off, both of them would have survived the massacre. Tsar Nicholas was a very weak and spineless man who brought his downfall upon himself by listening to his wife and dancing to her every tune. The revolution might not have happened if Nicholas had married a different woman.

      From everything that I've read about him, Nicholas seemed to be a genuinely good-hearted man who was extraordinarily pleasant to be around, and who adored his family. It's such a shame that his father left him so woefully unprepared for Tsardom, and that he was surrounded by soulless, uncaring bureaucrats who preyed on his insecurity in ruling. I sometimes wonder if he and his family would have been able to avoid their horrific fates if his father had prepared him better and had good, honest men advising him.
