What Happened to the Romanovs Who Survived the Revolution?

What happened to the Romanovs who survived the Russian Revolution? While Tsar Nicholas II and his immediate family were killed in Yekaterinburg, the wider Romanov dynasty did not disappear. Other relatives escaped Russia and attempted to rebuild their lives without their palaces, fortunes, or political power. This documentary follows Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna’s painful departure from Crimea, Grand Duke Kirill’s claim to a throne that no longer existed, Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna’s remarkably ordinary life in Canada, and Felix and Irina Yusupov’s years in exile. We also examine the mystery surrounding Anna Anderson, the DNA evidence that resolved the Anastasia story, and the descendants who continue the Romanov name today.
