The Last Czars

Czar Nicholas II takes the Russian throne in 1894 and rejects modern ideas to embrace a pure autocracy. Tragedy marks his coronation day.

Rasputin’s influence grows. The Romanovs retreat into a bubble of luxury while the czars forces brutally suppress protests by a starving populace.

Rasputin is gone, but Nicholas continues his catastrophic policies in war and at home. Deprivation pushes the population from unrest to revolution.
