Rare Last Photos Of The Romanovs

The Romanovs Visit Wounded Soldiers

Tsar Nicholas II is known for his poor handling of Bloody Sunday and Russia’s role in World War I. When demonstrators appealed to Nicholas II to improve working conditions in St. Petersburg, troops opened fire on the demonstrators, killing more than 1,000. His actions regarding these events ultimately led to his abdication and the execution of him and his entire family. Prior to his abdication, many of the Romanov family members would visit wounded soldiers in the hospital. This picture shows Tsar Nichols II daughters Maria and Anatasia during one of their visits.
