Rare Last Photos Of The Romanovs

The Romanovs’ House In Tobolsk

This photo shows the stark contrast of life after Tsar Nicholas II was abdicated. Here, the family is photographed on the house roof in Tobolsk. Tobolsk is the location the family was kept until the transfer of Yekaterinburg in 1918.

Although Nicholas II was not exactly admired by the public, it is hard to believe the Russian public wasn’t completely outraged by the horrendous acts of violence towards the Romanov family. In fact, according to Russian historians, the authorities still received many letters from the public asking to kill Nicholas II even after he had already been executed.
