Hot History

PART 6/6. You guys this is it ... the end, in every sense of the word. Although not everyone believes it ... for despite the death of the Romanovs in 1918 there have always been rumours of one surviving grand duchess, which begs the question: Did one Romanov remain?

We're also going to meet Lenin again as he makes his return to Russia and watch as the Revolution gains momentum and the fate of the Romanov family becomes increasingly uncertain.

PART 3/6. It's any Romanov Tsar's worst nightmare: 10 years on the throne, four daughters, a phantom pregnancy and no heir. NOW we're in the thick of it, guys, looking at the first half of Nicholas and Alexandra's reign, and the dynastic crisis that would plague them AND the Russian people. We're also going to introduce some other key players today, including one Vladimir Lenin!

PART 2/6. Alright guys, we are picking things up with Alexander III, father of Nicholas II, grandfather of Alexei, and one of the most brutish imperial family members in Romanov history.
In this second episode, we're going from the reign and death of Alexander III to the marriage of Tsar Nicholas II & Alix of Hesse, whose union would lead Russia into the 10th century AND down a long and winding road ... to the end! Then, we're going to come back on Friday and look at how the pair's search for a son would lead to a dynastic crisis for the ages.
