:-) I thought it was about time I made a tribute to my favorite Romanov! I am in the minority of the Romanov & OTMA fans, but Nicky is my favorite of NAOTMAA. This video shows him at all ages from an infant in the spring of 1868 to the last days of his life in Yekaterinburg in 1918. (May 18, 1868 - July 17, 1918.) The video also shows him with all the important people in his life: Alix, Minnie, Olga Nikolaievna, Nikolasha, Olga Alexandrevna, Xenia, Misha, Georgiy, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia, Alexei, Kaiser Wilhelm II, Prince George of Greece, Dmitri Pavlovich, King George V, Nicky's cat, his collies,etc. There are photos from his trip abroad as Tsarevich as well. Also included are shots from his vacations on the Standart and Polar Star to Finalnd, the Skerries, Livadia, England, etc. While I don't personally condone his policies as Tsar, I admire his gentle personality as Tsar and his unyielding love for Alix and his children. Some of the colorized photos may be he as a toddler, his hair was flame red (check it out on the Alexander Place Forum). When he was older it was a medium brown flecked with red and blonde and his eyes, as Alexander Kerensky recalled, “were of the most brilliant blue,“ and were inherited by his daughter, Marie Nikolaievna. Music: “Finale“ from “Cinderella Man“ and “Finale“ from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Photos: Beinkecke Romanov Albums, Alexander Time Machine & Forum, , , “The Lost World of the Tsar“ by Peter Kurth, AlyoshaSunbeam, (no, I didn't colorize them myself).
