This episode explores the rise and fall of the Romanov dynasty in Russia over three centuries.
For more than three centuries, the Romanov dynasty stood at the center of Russian history. From the rise of Michael Romanov in the early seventeenth century to the final days of Nicholas II, generations of tsars transformed Russia into a vast empire while facing wars, rebellions, political intrigue, and enormous social change. How did the Romanovs rise to power? Which rulers expanded the empire and reshaped Russian society? And how did a dynasty that had ruled for more than 300 years ultimately come to an end? A calm journey through three centuries of Russian imperial history — filled with powerful rulers, palace intrigues, wars, reforms, family dramas, and the dramatic final chapter of the Romanov dynasty.
