Last of the Czars 2-Pack |
|
For 300 years, the Romanov family ruled Russia
until a Lenin-backed revolution ended the reign with their violent deaths. New information
gleaned from never-before-seen footage, actual letters, czarist-era survivor interviews,
photos, and other rare items gives a finely detailed look at this country's most dramatic
dynasty and era.
Part 1: A Dynasty in Decline Nicholas II saw his czarist hold on the country
crumble when Lenin's Bolshevik Party and tragic events, such as the infamous "Bloody
Sunday," brought constitutional monarchy to the fore. Meet Nicholas and Alexandra,
their four daughters and only son, and the czar's mysterious confidant, Rasputin.
Part 2: Revolution The final months of Romanov rule were fraught with tension:
Civil unrest boiled over; Nicholas gave the throne to his brother, who rejected it; the
Bolshevik Party seized control; and the royal family's last days were spent under house
arrest.
