Decades of social unrest coupled with the privations of World War I brought Russia to revolution; yielding to the people's will, Czar Nicholas II abdicated the throne. This finely crafted program presents the final years of the Romanovs, from the outbreak of revolt and the return of Lenin to their brutal execution, the culmination of the Bolshevik leader's lifelong plan of revenge. The program uses an incredible array of rare film footage, diaries, letters, and interviews with survivors of the era, to include Prince Nicholas Romanov, the present head of the family. DNA evidence is also examined, proving finally the identiites of the Romanov remains.
