The Romanovs (2013)
An elegantly produced documentary divided into eight parts and running nearly seven hours in length, The Romanovs beautifully encapsulates the epic story of the Russian Dynasty over the course of over three hundred years.
The Romanovs: Season 1 - 8 Episode s
1x1 - The Beginning Of A Dynasty
November 4, 2013
The first episode opens in 1613 with the crowing of Michael Fyodorovich Romanov as Tsar of Russia, setting in motion the origins of the Romanov Dynasty. Co-ruling beside his father for a period of time, he exceeded expectations by restoring peace to a previously perilous relationship with both Sweden and Poland.
1x2 - The First Female Ruler Of Russia
November 10, 2013
Episode 2 captures the reign of Tsarevna (Princess) Sophia Alekseyevna, the first female ruler of Russia, who displayed as much governing savvy and cruel tactics as her male counterparts.
1x3 - Peter the Great
November 17, 2013
Few Tsars loom larger in the perception of the masses than Peter the Great, and he's the subject of the third episode in the series. Although he had tremendous foresight in his attempts to modernize Russia and enact effective foreign policies, Peter neglected to name an heir before his death in 1725. This ushers in the start of episode 4, which details the chaos that ensued amongst those with a thirst for power.
1x4 - Thirst For Power
November 24, 2013
Although he had tremendous foresight in his attempts to modernize Russia and enact effective foreign policies, Peter neglected to name an heir before his death in 1725. This ushers in the start of episode 4, which details the chaos that ensued amongst those with a thirst for power.
1x5 - Catherine the Great
December 1, 2013
Catherine the Great dominates the fifth episode. An unusually enlightened mind, enraptured by the poetry and philosophy of the time, she enjoyed tremendous public adoration throughout her eventful reign of over three decades.
1x6 - Napoleonic Wars
December 8, 2013
Episode six details the ascension of Catherine's son Paul following her death in 1796. Reigning only for five short years, Paul was then succeeded by his own son, Alexander, who reigned during the tumultuous period of the Napoleonic Wars.
1x7 - Emancipation Reform of 1861
December 15, 2013
The seventh segment chronicles the rule of both Nicolas I and his son Alexander II, as well as the Emancipation Reform of 1861, which succeeded in abolishing serfdom. The effects of this revolutionary act set the stage for the end of the Romanov Dynasty in the early decades of the 20th century.
1x8 - The End of the Romanovs
December 22, 2013
The effects of the Emancipation Act of 1861, a revolutionary act which serves as the basis for the concluding episode, set the stage for the end of the Romanov Dynasty in the early decades of the 20th century.
