We enjoyed this mini series. Not much new learned since I was already familiar with this period of the Russian Empire history (it was suppressed in Soviet Union and definitely not talked about in schools at the time) but I read much about it later in life. Definitely worth watching if the topic of the Romanov royal family is of interest. One can’t help but wonder what could have been if it wasn’t for the Bolsheviks, the revolution and communist regime that followed and occupied the country for over 75 years. Russian empire was just starting to fire on all cylinders and with the vast natural resources and in the Industrial Age, it could have all been very different.
