The Last Czars (TV Miniseries)
2019 · Documentary · 45 min. · United States
Set in the early 20th century, ‘The Last Czars’ begins with the death of Alexander III, and the subsequent coronation of Nicholas II, before going on to narrate the social upheaval that ended with the uprooting of the Romanov Empire soon after the February Revolution. Nicholas was under tremendous pressure to not just continue the dynasty, but also to expand the empire and coupled with the love-cocoon that he was in living in with his wife, he did not see the unrest among his people. The focus of the Netflix series is on the private life of Nicholas and Alexandra, and how their love for their family led them to the infamous Rasputin. This association was the final push to their doom. A Chronicled look at the fall of the Romanov dynasty in Russia.
