today, on the night of 16-17th of July 1918, 108 years ago, the romanov imperial family, tsar nicholas (50) ii, tsarina alexandra feodorovna (46), their five children; olga nikolaevna (22), tatiana nikolaevna (21), maria nikolaevna (19), anastasia nikolaevna (17), alexei nikolaevich(13), their physician yevgeny botkin (53), maid anna demidova (40), cook ivan kharitonov(48), valet alexei trupp(62) and tatiana and anastasia’s dogs, ortipo and jimmy were all brutally murdered by the Bolsheviks in yekaterinburg, bringing an end to 300 years of the russian dynasty. The execution was led by yakov yurovsky. they will never be forgotten… memory eternal ☦︎ On the 15th of August 2000, the Russian Orthodox Church announced the canonization of Nicholas II and his immediate family as Holy martyrs. They were canonized for their "'humbleness, patience and meekness'" during their imprisonment and execution by the Bolsheviks. The Tsar’s family was canonized not only because they were killed, but because they accepted their fate with humility and without resistance. While the tsar and his family were advised in advanced to escape across the border, they consciously did not do this. The Tsaar’s family personified the idea of the Orthodox reign. The bolsheviks did not only want to destroy possible succesors of the throne, they also wanted to destroy the symbol of the Orthodox Tsar, which was hateful to them. Killing the tsar’s family, they destroyed the idea of the Orthodox state that was the main defender of the Orthodox world. The tsar’s role becomes clear through the Byzantine description of the tsar’s power , and he is called the “external bishop to the church”. And in the synod period, in the “Basic laws of Empire” (articles 43 and 44) published in 1832 said: “The Emperor, as the Christian Sovereign, is a supreme defender and protector of dogmas of the dominating faith and order of the church. And from this day (April, 5th, 1797) an emperor, in an act of Succession, is named Head of Church. #romanovfamily #romanov #russia #fyp #romanovfamilyexecution
