Travel Russia - Visiting the Cathedral on Blood in Yekaterinburg
Take a tour of Cathedral on Blood Yekaterinburg in Yekaterinburg, Russian Federation -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
The Cathedral on Blood in Yekaterinburg is not a typical Russian Orthodox church.
This was the site of Tsar Nicholas the II's last moments before being killed during the Bolshevik Revolution.
The church was built over what was formerly the Ipatiev house, where the Tsar and his family were kept before the assassinations.
Therefore, the Cathedral is an imperative part of Russia's gruesome political history.
The golden domes of the Cathedral are standard for this architectural style.
The natural allure of the surrounding Ural mountains provide visitors another motive to visit this crucial monument.
4K Russia | Peter-Pavel's Cathedral tour | Saint Petersburg | Peter-Pavel's Fortress
Peter and Paul Cathedral (the official name is the Cathedral in the name of the supreme apostles Peter and Paul) is the Orthodox Cathedral in St. Petersburg in the Peter and Paul Fortress, the tomb of Russian emperors, an architectural monument of Peter the Great Baroque. From 1733 to 2012, the cathedral with a height of 122.5 m was the tallest building in St. Petersburg, and until 1952 it was the tallest in Russia.
In 1703, Peter the Great laid the Peter and Paul Fortress on the Gulf of Finland. Peter understood that the new Russia needed an architecture capable of expressing the ideas of the time. In an effort to strengthen the dominant position of the young capital among the cities of Russia, the sovereign conceived a new structure that would rise above the bell tower of Ivan the Great and the Menshikov Tower. The new temple was to become the most significant building of the capital and be in the heart of the Peter and Paul Fortress.
The custom of burying members of the ruling dynasty in temples was based on the idea of the divine origin of their power. In pre-Petrine Russia, the temple tomb was the Archangel Cathedral of the Moscow Kremlin, all the great Moscow princes and tsars from John Kalita to John V Alekseevich were buried there.
During the time of Peter I, the burial place of persons belonging to the royal family was not finally determined. Tsar’s relatives were buried in the Annunciation tomb. In the unfinished Peter and Paul Cathedral in 1715, the two-year-old daughter of Peter I and Catherine Natalia was buried, and under the bell tower - the wife of Tsarevich Alexei Petrovich Princess Charlotte Christina Sophia Braunschweig-Wolfenbuttelskaya (1694-1715). In the same place, in 1718, the remains of the prince himself were interred. In 1716, Marfa Matveevna, the widow of Tsar Fyodor Alekseevich, was buried at the entrance to the cathedral.
After Peter I, the coffin with his body was placed in a temporary chapel inside the cathedral under construction. The burial took place only on May 29, 1731. Subsequently, all the emperors and empresses were buried in the tomb up to Alexander III, inclusive, with the exception of Peter II.
In 1831, Emperor Nicholas I ordered his brother Konstantin Pavlovich to be buried in the cathedral. Since that time, close relatives of emperors have been buried in the cathedral.
In 1865, all the tombstones were replaced by the same type of white marble sarcophagus with gilded bronze crosses (architects A. A. Poirot). Imperial sarcophagi decorated with double-headed eagles. Two sarcophagi made at the Peterhof lapidary factory. In 1887-1906, by order of Alexander III, sarcophagi were made for the emperor’s parents: the sarcophagus of Alexander II from green jasper and the sarcophagus of Empress Maria Alexandrovna from the pink orlets.
March 13, 1990, on the day of the 109th anniversary of the de..th of Emperor Alexander II, for the first time in the years of Soviet power, a memorial service was served for the Tsar-Liberator.
On July 17, 1998, in the Catherine’s chapel, in the southwestern part of the cathedral, the remains were buried, according to the conclusion of the State Commission, belonging to Nicholas II, Empress Alexandra Fedorovna, Grand Duchesses Tatyana, Olga and Anastasia, who were ki..ed in Yekaterinburg in 1918. These remains were not recognized by the Russian Orthodox Church. Together with them, the life doctor E.S. Botkin, the lackey A.E. Troupp, the cook I.M. Kharitonov, the maid A.S. Demidov were buried.

LEAD IN:
The mysterious history of the Romanovs, the Russian royal family, seemed to end in 1998, when the remains of Nicholas II, his wife, Alexandra and their three daughters were laid to rest with state honours in Saint Petersburg.
In 1918 the whole family was shot dead in a basement in Yekaterinburg.
But just a few days ahead of the 90th anniversary of the royal family massacre, the question of authenticity and rehabilitation of the Czar's family is once again in the spotlight.
STORYLINE:
The funeral service for Nicholas II, his wife, Alexandra and their three daughters was held in St. Catherine Chapel in the St. Peter and Paul Cathedral, where all other Russian Emperors since Peter the Great lie.
Nicholas II abdicated after the Bolsheviks came to power in 1917. The Czar, his wife, their son and four daughters were detained.

Saint Petersburg, Russia - Saints Peter and Paul Fortress and Cathedral (2018)
The Peter and Paul Cathedral (Russian: Петропавловский собор) is a Russian Orthodox cathedral located inside the Peter and Paul Fortress in St. Petersburg, Russia. It is the first and oldest landmark in St. Petersburg, built between 1712 and 1733 on Hare Island along the Neva River. Both the cathedral and the fortress were originally built under Peter the Great and designed by Domenico Trezzini. The cathedral's bell tower is the world's tallest Orthodox bell tower. Since the belfry is not standalone, but an integral part of the main building, the cathedral is sometimes considered the highest Orthodox Church in the world. There is another Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul Church in St. Petersburg, located in Petergof.

The Romanovs. The History of the Russian Dynasty - Episode 7. Documentary Film. Star Media
Emperor Nicholas I Pavlovich started his 30-year rule with suppressing the Decembrist Revolt. On 14 December, 1825, the day of taking oaths by the new tsar, over a thousand people, including women and children, died. The revolt’s ringleaders were executed, the participants were sent to exile. Later, when Nicholas asked his son what he would have done if he had been the tsar, the young Alexander answered: “I would forgive”. Alexander II Nikolayevich went down in history as liberator. He succeeded in doing the thing that none of his predecessor was able to: he abolished serfdom. However, together with the emancipation of peasants, a new power, unknown before, but unstoppable, unleashed…
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.

RUSSIA: ST PETERSBURG: TSAR NICHOLAS II BURIAL PREVIEW
Russian/Nat
On July 17 1918 Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin ordered the assassination of the last Tsar of Russia, Nicholas II, and his family.
Their remains, discovered over 70 years later, are to be buried on July 17 this year, in St Petersburg.
But a book published this month claims the Romanov dynasty did not come to an end.
The book's authors say they have evidence that Tsarevich Alexei, heir to the Russian throne, survived.
At the Peter and Paul Fortress in St Petersburg the finishing touches are being made for the lavish funeral ceremony.
The bodies of Tsar Nicholas II, his wife Empress Alexandra and three of their daughters will be buried at the Fortress on July 17.
Their remains were found in 1991 in the Siberian city of Ekaterinburg.
Also in the burial pit were the remains of the family's servants but not of the two remaining Romanov children, Anastasia and heir to the throne Alexei.
A book published this month claims that Alexei escaped his executors in 1918 and was adopted by a peasant family.
It claims he worked as a schoolteacher in Communist Russia and was known as Vasily Filatov.
The claims made in The Escape of Alexei are backed by Filatov's son Oleg, pretender to the Russian throne.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
Throughout his whole life he never ever called himself Alexei. He never said that he was the Emperor's son. All his tales were told in the third person.
SUPER CAPTION: Oleg Filatov, Pretender to the Russian throne
The long-awaited heir to the Russian throne was born on August 12 1904, to the great joy of Nicholas and Alexandra.
But Alexei was a sickly child from birth, inheriting haemophilia from his mother, making simple bumps and bruises dangerous, if not deadly.
The authors of the book claim that Alexei was merely wounded on the night of July 17 and was spirited to safety by sympathetic soldiers.
As Vasily Filatov, Alexei became a village schoolteacher but could never explain how he became fluent in several languages or how he knew so much about the execution.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
Father gathered everyone together in 1984 and again told us the story about the murder of the Tsar's family. And he again reminded us that the boy remained alive.
SUPER CAPTION: Oleg Filatov, Pretender to the Russian throne
Over the years Oleg Filatov and the rest of his family came to suspect who their father really was.
Not only did they have his stories but they also saw the resemblance between the Romanov and Filatov families.
But Vasily Filatov would never admit the truth, telling Oleg it was too dangerous.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
People will be killed. Why? Because it is dangerous. You don't need to know any more. When you reach 40 you'll know everything but right now you don't need to know. While I'm alive you don't need to know. After this it became clear that the boy about whom he spoke, the Emperor's son who was saved, that boy and my father were one and the same.
SUPER CAPTION: Oleg Filatov, Pretender to the Russian throne
Vasily Filatov died in 1988 but with the advent of perestroika his family discovered that many of the stories he had told them about the Romanovs were true.
At a time when many Russians yearn for the glorious Tsarist past, Oleg Filatov says he is ready to fulfill his destiny, if the people wish.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
I don't want to declare myself. One should be a little more modest. The people must make that declaration. If the people need it, if they come to that decision and the political situation allows it and if God allows it then I must do whatever the people want.

RUSSIA: BURIAL OF TSAR NICHOLAS II REMAINS: COMMISSION FINDINGS
Russian/Nat
Eighty years after Russia's last Tsar was executed by revolutionaries - a government commission has recommended he be buried alongside his royal forebears.
It rejected proposals to bury Tsar Nicholas II and his family in Yekaterinburg, the city where they were killed, or in Moscow.
The remains of nine people were exhumed in 1991 - recent forensic reports have confirmed they include members of the former ruling family.
The Government Commission had been appointed to try and resolve an increasingly controversial debate about what to do with remains of the Romanov household.
On Friday it presented its findings in Moscow.
At the heart of the issue was whether the remains were in fact those of the Royal family Russia's Deputy Prime Minister says that has been confirmed.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
There have been carried out numerous medical anthropological, chronological and dental tests. Its important to add that one Doctor of Biology - a Mr. Ragaev from the Medical Academy - did his independent studies which proved with 100 per cent certainty the identity of the remains and corresponds with other tests.
SUPER CAPTION: Boris Nemtsov, First Deputy Prime Minister & Head of Commission on Tsar's Remains
Tsar Nicholas II was overthrown by the Russian Revolution in 1917 - and he, his family and their servants taken to the town of Yekaterinburg.
They were executed there on 17 July 1918.
Human remains were unearthed outside the city in 1991, and have since been kept in the local mortuary - where a team has been trying to identify them for six years.
The problem for the researchers has been to work out which bones belong to which person, and to then identify the individual.
One of the objections to giving the Romanovs an official burial was that the researchers would have to separate the royal bones from those of their servants.
Then there was the controversial way the Tsar ruled, which caused widespread poverty and oppression and led the country into the disastrous involvement in the First World War.
At the time radicals regarded Nicholas as a despot and when the revolution came forced him to abdicate.
Their modern day supporters had argued he should be laid to rest quietly, with little ceremony.
The governor of Yekaterinburg region, had strongly urged that the Tsar and his family be buried near the site of their deaths.
But earlier members of the Russian royal family were buried at the Romanov's traditional place of rest - the Peter and Paul Fortress in Saint Petersburg.
And on Friday the government commission recommended their deposed descendents should join them - alongside the graves of Peter the Great and his family.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
By tradition and from century to century all the Russia's Romanov Tsars have been laid to rest. They are all here, everyone of the Romanov's and so should the last. It is our history. How can you move against history?
SUPER CAPTION: Oleg Mitrofanov, St. Petersburg resident
Workers are readying a spot for the Tsar and his family.
The commission has recommended that the burial take place in July - the 80th anniversary of their deaths.
