Original – Russian Imperial family - members of the Romanovs, the last imperial family of Russia including: seated (left to right) Marie, Queen Alexandra, Czar Nicholas II, Anastasia, Alexei (front), and standing (left to right), Olga and Tatiana. This image was taken in 1914, three years before the Emperor and family were killed.

Reason: Photographed here is the last generation of the Russian Empire's royal family. In March 1917, then Emperor Nicholas II was overthrown following massive, widespread demonstrations against the Royal Family. Later that year the Bolsheviks, the Marxist/Lenin supporting branch of the provisional government, had Nicholas and his family executed to prevent them from falling into the hands of the "whites" who supported the restoration of the monarch in Russia (broadly construed). Although its has been conclusively proven that all members photographed here had been killed in 1917, rumors persisted for decades that Anastasia had survived the brutal massacre that exterminated the Romonov Royal bloodline.
Articles in which this image appears: Nicholas II of Russia, Alexander Palace, Alexandra Feodorovna (Alix of Hesse)
