I was today years old when I found out Anastasia Romanov and the Russian Revolution is in Assassin’s Creed: Chronicles!

[tearsoftheromanovs]

When American journalist Michael Sheridan jumps into the Whangpoa River to save a woman he met in one of Shanghai’s taxi clubs, his life is changed irrevocably. A Russian refugee, Anastasia Romanov bears an extraordinary resemblance to the princess of the same name, who was rumored to have survived the brutal murder of her family at the hands of Bolshevik revolutionaries. The fate of the youngest daughter of the last Russian Czar has become one of the most talked-about mysteries of the time. But Michael’s Anastasia is suffering from amnesia and remembers little of her life before Shanghai. Unraveling the mystery of Anastasia’s identity and past takes them both from the streets of Shanghai to the decadence of pre-war Berlin and London, from Bolshevik Russia to New York just before the Wall Street crash. Michael is the only man who has ever helped Anastasia without wanting something in return - but can she give up the chance to be a princess for true love?

The Romanov Dynasty // pt. III - OTMA [Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia]

“It’s difficult to write about anything cheerful, because there’s all too little cheerfulness here.On the other hand, God doesn’t abandon us. The sun shines, the birds sing, and this morning we heard the bells sounding matins.”

[valyrianpoem]

The Romanov Dynasty // pt. II - Nicholas II & Alexandra Feodorovna

“Ever more and more, stronger and deeper, grow my love and devotion, and my longing for you. Never can I thank God enough for the treasure He had given me for my very own—and be called yours, darling, what happiness can be greater? … No more separations. At last united, bound for life, and when this life ended we meet again in the other world to remain together for all eternity. Yours, yours”

I’m sick of hearing from other people when discussing the romanovs that they deserved to die. They were not criminals and they certainly were not murderers. The children definitely did not deserve their fate. I think this paragraph from the novel ‘Eye of the Red Tsar’ by Sam Eastland sums it up better

‘Even if it were possible to believe that the Tsar and Tsarina were guilty of the crimes held against them by the politicians in Moscow, no one in their right mind could be persuaded that the children deserved to die. At worst, they might have been spoiled. They might have been sheltered from the world. But that does not amount to a crime. There are those who despised the Tsar long before he arrived in sverdlovsk, but people will always despise someone who has more than they do, and it is easier to hate something at a distance. But when the Tsar arrived with his family they were forced to see him as another human being. To kill a family who stand unarmed before you requires something more than hate.’
