Maria and Alexei are not buried with the rest of the family. Thanks to the church!

may be its about time the truth was told the horrendous acts of murder is unknown to the public princess Alix children were all Hesse a massacre of the Hesse family/battenburg

yes...Lenin ordered his Bolshevik soldiers to murder both Alix and Elisabeth. Lenin also ordered his soldiers to kill Alix's family aswell. In fact Lenin ordered his soldiers to murder every Romanov in Russia. Because he viewed them as political opponents and because he hated them, because he hated the Romanov dynasty, upper class people. He viewed the Romanovs as "filth that needed to be eradicated". The truth is that the Romanovs weren't "filth", in fact, most of them were good people. The real "filth" was Lenin and his Bolshevik cronies. Lenin's Bolshevik regime murdered over 140 000 people from 1917 - 1922. Lenin was a much worse mass murderer than any of the Tsars that had ruled Russia before he came to power.

@Fitzroi shame on you.

There were some rumors about his homosexuality but not confirmed. His diaries were silent about it unlike the diaries of Grand Duke Konstantin.

From Wikipedia: In 1918, Vladimir Lenin ordered the Cheka to arrest Princess Elisabeth [who was a nun by this time]. They then exiled her first to Perm, then to Yekaterinburg, where she spent a few days and was joined by others: the Grand Duke Sergei Mikhailovich; Princes Ioann Konstantinovich, Konstantin Konstantinovich, Igor Konstantinovich and Vladimir Pavlovich Paley; Grand Duke Sergei's secretary, Fyodor Remez; and Varvara Yakovleva, a sister from the Grand Duchess's convent. They were all taken to Alapayevsk on 20 May 1918, where they were housed in the Napolnaya School on the outskirts of the town. At noon on 17 July, Cheka officer Pyotr Startsev and a few Bolshevik workers came to the school. They took from the prisoners whatever money they had left and announced that they would be transferred that night to the Upper Siniachikhensky factory compound. The Red Army guards were told to leave and Cheka men replaced them. That night the prisoners were awakened and driven in carts on a road leading to the village of Siniachikha, some 18 kilometres (11 miles) from Alapayevsk where there was an abandoned iron mine with a pit 20 metres (66 feet) deep. Here they halted. The Cheka beat all the prisoners before throwing their victims into this pit, Elisabeth being the first. Hand grenades were then hurled down the shaft, but only one victim, Fyodor Remez, died as a result of the grenades. According to the personal account of Vasily Ryabov, one of the killers, Elisabeth and the others survived the initial fall into the mine, prompting Ryabov to toss in a grenade after them. Following the explosion, he claimed to have heard Elisabeth and the others singing an Orthodox hymn from the bottom of the shaft. Unnerved, Ryabov threw down a second grenade, but the singing continued. Finally a large quantity of brushwood was shoved into the opening and set alight, upon which Ryabov posted a guard over the site and departed. Early on 18 July 1918, the leader of the Alapayevsk Cheka, Abramov, and the head of the Yekaterinburg Regional Soviet, Beloborodov, who had been involved in the execution of the Imperial Family, exchanged a number of telegrams in a pre-arranged plan saying that the school had been attacked by an "unidentified gang". A month later, Alapayevsk fell to the White Army of Admiral Alexander Kolchak. Lenin welcomed Elisabeth's death, remarking that "virtue with the crown on it is a greater enemy to the world revolution than a hundred tyrant tsars".

Traduceme si?????

Alice was her mother.

Russia was never good enough for her? What the?

Of course.

The British royal family do have British blood though. George I was the grandson of Elizabeth Stuart, daughter of Charles II. They do have a lot of German blood in them though.

They all have Victoria's eyes. And Victoria was almost completely german.

At that time Tsars and Granddukes married german women,even the dannish royals are germans,thesame with the british and belgian monarchs all germans.

They just wanted to make sure that the royalty was never reinstated and it did not matter what they had done or not done. Clearly the children were innocent. They were still killed by the evil bolsheviks.

@Ma Foi I mean the photo in 0:47

Nicolas Vernola Not really shot but beaten by the Cheka, shoved into a pit, thrown in a grenade, and when she and the others she was with didn't die, the Cheka thrown in another grenade. And when they still didn't die after that, the Cheka shoved in wood and lit them on fire. While all of these were being done to them, they sang an orthodox hymn. Elizabeth, the other Romanovs with her, and one Orthodox nun faced their horrific death bravely. Lenin was apparently very pleased with her death.

@@shishi6799 Lenin was a sick man RIP Elizabeth, Alexandra, Nicholas, Olga (Nicholas and Alexandra eldest child and daughter), Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia, and Alexei

The smile at 3:07 is beautiful

Germany declared war on Russia in 1914, Russia didn't declare war on Germany. World War Two was far more catastrophic and was instigated by elected politicians and dictators (Stalin/Hitler) who emanated not from royalty, but from the masses.

And their empires. Five empires were in existence before World War One. The British Empire, the Russian Empire, the German Empire, the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, and the Ottoman Empire. Only the British Empire survived after World War One.

Well, Elisabeth Feodorovna has no blood relation to the Queen Mother, but she does to Queen Elizabeth II. Both are of course are descendants of Queen Victoria, however, Elisabeth Feodorovna had no children with her husband, and she became a nun after her husband's murder.

Yes she is buried in middle East
