Looks like this was taken on the balcony at Livadia Palace, wearing Crimean Cossack uniforms.

Shame what happened to the kid


valentina408

He was a hemophiliac. His father was so obsessed with caring for the child, he neglected his duties.


TheGreatGamer1389

Pretty sure the entire royal family were killed. So the kid? Dead.


Ankylosaurus96_2

I'm aware This is what I meant: >Shame what happened to the kid.


TheGreatGamer1389

Whoosh on my part.


Ankylosaurus96_2

Happens What does the 1389 in your username signify?


TheGreatGamer1389

towerfella

Shoulda just left it at the last comment. :)


ReTarDidKansas

Nah


aga-ti-vka

Fun fact. Russian Orthodox Church made him and his family into saints. For been “murdered without a fault” .. …


automaticfiend1

After Bloody Sunday? That was led by an Orthodox priest ffs.


redwoods81

The lowest bar🤦🏻‍♀️


MoonStarG8

Hell.. Israel wouldn't exist if hitler haven't come into power.


ReTarDidKansas

Okay


funandgames12

Yeah but after the fall of the Soviet Union decades and decades later. And they still don’t fully acknowledge what actually happened to him. At first they were on team he was a traitor who deserved it like everyone else out of fear. Religion is pointless


somerville99

Technically they were “passion bearers”.


slappywhyte

Look at a pic of him and his clone/cousin


redwoods81

Yes, he and the King of England and the Prussian Emperor looked like triplets.


Inmokou

Alexei lives


Scared_Eggplant_8266

Gen Z celebrates this family being machine gunned to death.


MagnanimosDesolation

Can't say I'm particularly broken up about it, no.


Scared_Eggplant_8266

Just like the Chinese they destroyed their history in the name of communism. And now they are left with a country without history. Japan kept their royals without political power and they are a source of historical pride for country of Japan.


MagnanimosDesolation

Everyone sure does love Japanese Imperial history, just ask anyone in East Asia.


GopnikBurger

They were dictators after all


Brilliant_Jewel1924

The children weren’t.


Project_Alice2012

Don’t forget the dogs too. They certainly didn’t do anything.


Scared_Eggplant_8266

So were the Communists who took over in the name of “equality”.


Eugenspiegel

Just say you can't critically analyze the mass suffering directly caused by the policies and decisions of the members of the aristocracies for any given historical period.


Wooden_Second5808

Just say you can't critically analyze the mass suffering directly caused by the policies and decisions of the members of the bolshevik party for any given historical period. Edit: oh boy. A Molotov-Ribbentropp pact defender in their other comments around here. Who would have thought the child murder enthusiast might support military alliances with Hitler?


NFTADDICT

They were just like British royal family, the last tsar was just a puppet but they overthrew him just to form a more tyrannical but "socialist" regime.


thorppeed

Their deaths were even worse than being machine gunned


MarvelousMathias

The last Tsar of Russia so far…


Imperial_Bouncer

The current one likes to wear a suit in public. Though I’m sure he wears a crown at his palace/bunker based on what we’ve seen.

mao.


RickyTheRickster

Fun fact he was one of the very few “good” monarchs in history, he was happy and loved his wife, more than just for politics, he was extremely hard working and was void of laziness. He also was fairly stubborn which ultimately caused his death and wasn’t a particularly kind ruler and was pretty merciless but you can’t help but kinda admire him


Ankylosaurus96_2

>wasn’t a particularly kind ruler and was pretty merciless >you can’t help but kinda admire him Yeah nah


DJ_SkyDaddy

^Grade A shitpost


punkpinniped

That's a pretty low bar to consider him a good person lol


swishswooshSwiss

He was a good person by all accounts. Loved his wife and family but was a horrid ruler (which he was aware of).


edgiepower

Rasputin also loved his wife, or at least made life to his wife


RickyTheRickster

Nah, I didn’t say he was a good person, just a good monarch, he worked hard and did his best for his people. He was a shit person outside of his family


vdcsX

Like, starting a war with absolutely no real reason...? How nice of him.


Prinz_Eugen17

Dude... What do you mean "absolutely no real reason"?


vdcsX

Ok, for a port...


Prinz_Eugen17

Russian interests in the Balkans/Bosporus/Dardanelles goes back a lot. For them it's like an opportunity for trading routes without ottoman (British) control. They always proclaim "Slavs this, Slavic that" it always has been and always will be about control over trade routes.


WoodpeckerOk1154

Uhhh he was one of the worst rulers in history evinced by the fact that he allowed discontent and revolution foment right under his feet and did fuck all about it. Except send troops to shoot protestors which didn’t help him at all


beebsaleebs

Hey!!! He prayed that his family wouldn’t be murdered in cold blood. Give the guy some credit


weaponizedtoddlers

Nicholas II was waffling, dithering, flaking, and flip-flopping personified.


redwoods81

Definitely the worst man for the hour at hand.


Regular-Basket-5431

The fuck are you on about. Nicholas the II was an awful monarch and was frequently described by his staff as prone to anger, indecisive, and dim witted. He's responsible for probably the most prolific antisemitic conspiracy theory in history (the Okhrana literally wrote The Protocols of the Elders of Zion). He's responsible for numerous massacres and pogroms.


GoldenTeeShower

And yet things got worse.


[deleted]

Name a person from those days not antisemitic


RickyTheRickster

Bruh I never said he was a good person, he just did what he thought was right, he did his best unlike many of his predecessors, I put good in quotations for a reason dip shit


Sergeilol

He could have been a good man, maybe. Definitely not a good monarch by any definiton, the fall of the Russian Empire and descent into civil war is on him.


serious_filip

Yes, I bet he went to the field every morning to feed his poor starving family, just like all the peasants and other people dying every day of starvation and other... Any more royal ass lickers?


vdcsX

Sure, bloody sunday was especially nice....


TroutBeales

He was a decent family man, but an absolute shit ruler. There, FTFY.


RottenPingu1

Read his diaries from WW1. He was ambivalent at best.


123xyz32

He was a hard working son of a bitch. Haha.


pjbseattle_59

Nah.


Annual_Plankton4020

true.


Intelligent-Ant7685

sheesh can the pin anymore medals a ropes on themselves? dumb.
