A 2013 Star Media & Babich Design History Documentary with English narration.
This history of the Romanov dynasty - the family that ruled Russia from 1613 until the October Revolution of 1917 - is told in eight epic one-hour episodes using a combination of CGI animation and dramatic reconstruction.
The most vivid pages of Russian history and the establishment and consolidation of Russian state power are associated with the eighteen Russian Tsars of the House of Romanov which include historic names such as Peter the Great, Catherine the Great, Nicholas I and Alexanders I, II and III. The dynasty ended with the brutal assassination of the last Tsar, Nicholas II and his family by the Bolsheviks in Ekaterinburg in 1917.
The Romanov dynasty played a hugely important role in world history, and the series highlights the life stories and characters of the tsars, recounting their rise to power and their contribution to the dynasty, their merits and their faults, their achievements and mistakes, their victories and defeats in war.
The series also examines the Russian form of 'Caesarism' as a system of state administration - its advantages and drawbacks and how the Russian state changed under the Romanov's rule.
Episode 1: The Crowing of Michael Fyodorovich Romanov as Tsar of Russia, setting in motion the origins of the Romanov Dynasty, he exceeded expectations by restoring peace to a previously perilous relationship with both Sweden and Poland.
