The epoch of palace revolutions - and the overthrow of the enthronement of the rulers by the violent seizure of power. The vast country lived by inertia until its rulers succeeded on the throne of each other. At first the young man, who was most interested in entertainment and sprees. Then a widow, clownish lover fights and other amusements. Baby-emperor, who later becomes the "iron mask" Russian style, spending all his life in isolation as "nameless prisoner." Finally beauty-princess, the daughter of Peter the Great, Elizabeth. The most vivid pages of Russian history and the establishment and consolidation of Russian state power are associated with the eighteen Russian Tsars of the House of Romanov which include such historic names as Peter the Great, Catherine the Great, Nicholas I and Alexanders I, II and III. The dynasty ended with the brutal assassination of the last Tsar, Nicholas II and his family by the Bolsheviks in Ekaterinburg in 1917. The Romanov dynasty played a hugely important role in world history, and the series highlights the life stories and characters of the tsars, recounting their rise to power and their contribution to the dynasty, their merits and their faults, their achievements and mistakes, their victories and defeats in war. The series also examines the Russian form of 'Caesarism' as a system of state administration - its advantages and drawbacks and how the Russian state changed under the Romanov's rule. THE ROMANOVS is told in eight epic one-hour episodes using a unique combination of magnificent CGI animation and dramatic reconstruction with careful and accurate attention paid to each period.
