Anastasia and the Russian Revolution
Anastasia and the Russian Revolution
The 20th century brought many changes to traditional cultures around the world.
Some of the most radical changes occurred in the Russian Empire,
which had one of the oldest monarchies in Europe.
In 1917-18, the rule of the Tsars was replaced by the world's first communist government,
led by Vladimir Ilyich Lenin.
No one was more affected by these changes than Anastasia, the Tsar's youngest daughter.
Between 1895 and 1901, Tsar Nicholas II and his wife Alexandra became the parents of four beautiful and healthy daughters, Olga, Tatyana, Marie, and Anastasia.
However, since a girl could not inherit the throne of Russia, it was important for Alexandra to give birth to a son.
Finally, in 1904, the Tsar and Tsarina had a son, Alexei.
This event, which should have made the whole family very happy,
proved to be a source of great sorrow.
Alexei was soon found to have an incurable disease.
This disease, hemophilia, meant that Alexei regularly suffered
from uncontrollable internal and external bleeding, which left him very weak.
This caused anxiety for all the family, especially his mother and father.
The Tsar and Tsarina loved their children.
The girls, who didn't have to worry about becoming rulers, led a fairly carefree existence.
Anastasia and her sisters lived in a palace with hundreds of servants.
They attended many society parties with their parents.
The most elaborate parties were grand balls, where everyone dressed in their finest clothes and danced all through the night.
The absolute rule of the Tsar was not popular with everybody.
The majority of the population was poor peasant farmers
who could barely keep themselves and their families alive.
If they moved into the city to get jobs in the factories,
they had to work long hours, for very low wages, and live in slum conditions.
Popular opposition forced the Tsar in 1905 to give up some of his power to an elected parliament.
None of the girls married.
They all lived a happy life together.
They moved from palace to palace, attended by their private tutors,
visiting the beach and sailing on the royal yacht.
Anastasia was the clown of the family.
She didn't like schoolwork, but she enjoyed painting and photography.
Many of her photos of the royal family in happy times survive.
Soon the Tsar's problems worsened.
The Empress Alexandra worried about her son and became ill.
War with Germany broke out in 1914, and the Russians suffered many defeats and losses.
In March 1917, there was a popular revolution, and the Tsar was deposed.
From that time on, the royal family were prisoners.
At first, they were treated kindly, but in November, the Bolsheviks, or communists, gained control of the revolution.
Lenin and his followers hated the Tsar.
The royal family had been living in Tobolsk in Siberia.
because of fears that they might escape, they were brought back to Ekaterinburg in the Ural region.
Here, after midnight on June 19, 1918, the entire royal family was shot by the Bolsheviks.
To some, this news was too dreadful to be believed. The thought that the Tsar's lively
and beautiful daughters had been killed was too hard to bear. Within a couple of years,
a woman who went by the name of Anna Anderson appeared in Western Europe. She claimed to be
Anastasia. Some believed her story, and some did not. With the fall of the Soviet Union,
it was possible to investigate the murder of the royal family. It was also possible to prove that
Anna Anderson was not the real Anastasia. After a long search, the bodies of Anastasia and Alexei
were found. They had died with the rest of the family. A great mystery was finally solved.
