Before 0:34 it seemed they were all taken at or around Yekaterinburg, but this seems more likely home.
Alexandra - Alix as she was called by her family - 1:40 in stately attire. For this crown, losing lives of loved ones and self, if only they'd known, they'd have given up sooner.
As horrific as the events that ended the lives of this family about a century ago, and perhaps this century factor is why this is more on minds of people too, the comments below this video are horrible not only in their casteism in much less sympathy with the millions who were starving throughout the nation, and antisemitism that is basically racism, but just as much about a complete lack of humanity and an equal unwillingness to learn anything at all from history, with a preference to fall for every convenient propaganda dished out by the weekly pulpit that sides on the whole with military power even at the cost of denouncing the raped and often murdered nuns if the other choice goes against wealth and power.
French and Russian revolution sprang out of a long history of millions starving while some few had not only the fruits of labour just by accident of birth, but far worse, they chose to squander it on useless luxuries more often than decently permissible for humanity under the circumstances. Marie Antoinette is blamed and caricatured since she innocently - reportedly - said "let them eat cake", but she was barely out of teens if that, and brought up with no knowledge of life outside palaces. Hesse family on the other hand wasn't quite so wealthy, but still, connected to royals of three of the most powerful nation then, Alexandra too couldn't have had any comprehension of poverty of people of Russia, and the comments blaming her are merely convenient targeting.
Most commentators might question themselves, how would they react if generations after generations they saw their own families starve while they worked as slaves and those that reaped the benefit of their labours were overflowing in wealth while millions were starving to death in their own surroundings?
And things haven't changed that much, if one looks at Africa starving while her diamonds are enriching owners of mines who are thousand or ten thousand or more miles away, her lands are used for coffee and cocoa (chocolate), enjoyed by West while Africa pays dearly for weapons and ammunition that kills their own.
Is that why most European nations are ok with migrants as long as they aren't any less pale than their own? Subconscious awareness of guilt?
