	Alexandra Fyodorovna of Hesse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alexandra is remembered as the last Tsaritsa of Russia, as one of the most famous genetic carriers of hemophilia, as well as for her authoritarian control over the country.
		Alexandra was married relatively late for her rank in her era, having refused a proposal from Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence (the eldest son of the Prince of Wales) despite strong familial pressure.
		Alexandra, Nicholas and their children (except Alexei and one daughter, whose remains were missing) were reinterred in the Romanov family crypt in the Peter and Paul Cathedral in 1998, with much ceremony, on the 80th anniversary of the execution.

	Nicholas and Alexandra (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The main difference in the Nicholas and Alexandra saga is that their predecessors created their own dramas, whereas Nicholas and Alexandra succumbed to the drama of events swirling around them.
		Alexandra responded with a downward spiral into an increasingly bizarre mysticism that further clouded her husband's foggy view of his world and his role -- and that ultimately opened the door to perhaps the most bizarre case of malign political influence in the annals of government: Rasputin.
		In the end, Nicholas and Alexandra showed a grace and sanguinity in captivity and extermination that was utterly absent when they ruled the world's largest country.

		In the final scene of Deborah Drattell's "Nicholas and Alexandra," the much-ballyhooed work commissioned by the Los Angeles Opera, the embattled Romanov royals huddle nobly and picturesquely on the semi-dark stage.
		Everyone knows, however, that the real-life story of Czar Nicholas II and his family doesn't end there but shortly after that with their assassination by revolutionary Bolsheviks.
		Nonetheless, "Nicholas and Alexandra," with a libretto by journalist-playwright Nicholas von Hoffman, rolls out onstage as something of a children's bedtime story.

Schaffner in 1970), deploys a populous and lavishly costumed cast (38 separate sung roles) across Robert Israel's tricky, oversized sets (sliding panels, scrims, the works).

		With unusual and fascinating insight, the lives of Nicholas and Alexandra are explored in the context of their backgrounds, upbringings, experiences, and the very public role which birth had conferred upon them.
		His sources include the letters between Nicholas and Alexandra, letters from them to members of their families, and the memoirs of people who knew them personally and/or worked with them closely, such as tutors, close friends, ambassadors, and government officials.
		From the infamous Bloody Sunday to the love letters that were exchanged between Nicholas and Alexandra the book was clearly exhaustively researched and also gives a touch of real emotion which is magnafied by the authors own personal experiences with the terrible disease of hemophelia.

		The movie epic is a dead duck without romanticism, without the glorious exploits of men and women larger than life, who played out their days against a sweeping panorama of war and revolution, etc. The problem with "Nicholas and Alexandra" is that it considers the Russian Revolution from, in some ways, the least interesting perspective.
		The fact is that Nicholas and Alexandra were rather ordinary people, and that, despite the millions of deaths they caused and the revolution they played unwitting midwives to, they were banal.
		Toward the end of "Nicholas and Alexandra," we begin to realize that the movie epic has seen better and more stirring days.

		Nicholas & Alexandra is the internationally famous biography from Pulitzer prize-winner Robert Massie.
		As an engrossing account of one of the century's most dramatic episodes - and an intimate portrait of two people caught at the centre of a maelstrom - Nicholas & Alexandra is unlikely ever to be surpassed.
		Massie's Nicholas and Alexandra emerge as rather sad and pathetic characters, pathologicaly out of touch with reality and hopelessly unqualified for their inherited role.

		The decent but pathetic and none too brilliant monarch was brutally murdered in the summer of 1918, along with his nervous wife, Alexandra (who had fallen under the spell of the wild-eyed peasant monk Rasputin), and their five children.
		On the cover of this ambitious--and completely successful--book is a formal portrait of the ethereally beautiful royal family, in delicate finery and pearls; on the back, a shot of their mass grave, a bleak field in the middle of nowhere.
		But the soul of the book is the archival material: royal-family photos, political documents, telegrams, letters between Nicholas and Alexandra, locks of royal baby hair, and grisly eye-witness accounts of the Romanoffs' murders, as told by those who did the deed.
