The Russian Imperial Family, known as the Romanovs, ruled Russia from 1613 until the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II in 1917. The family included prominent figures such as Empress Alexandra and their five children: Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia, and Alexei. They were known for their opulent lifestyle and significant influence over Russian politics and society. The family's reign ended during the Russian Revolution, which led to their imprisonment and eventual execution by Bolsheviks in 1918. The tragic fate of the Romanovs has since captured public interest, leading to numerous books, films, and discussions about their legacy and the impact of their rule on Russian history.
