Premise

For more than a hundred years Imperial Russia was ruled by the house of Romanov with Mikhail Romanov crowned Tsar following the death of Ivan IV Vasilyevich, or commonly known as "Ivan the Terrible" in July, 1613. Russia grew massively under the grip of the Romanov dynasty with its territory stretching from the flat plains of eastern Europe to the cold and mountainous terrains of eastern Siberia and Alaska. Russia also developed and prospered through out the centuries with the works of the great Romanovs, Peter the Great and Catherine the Great, also winning a long fought war against the greatest forces of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte of France in continental Europe during the early years of the 19th century in the expense of the city of Moscow, that Tsar Alexander I ordered to be burnt to the ground, which is now widely known as the Napoleonic wars. With great success also comes great flaws and failures. Unlike the rest of Europe, Russia remained largely traditional and conservative, with the common people still aching their backs as property of their masters that owns the land they work upon, they are called "The Serfs". The people is tought that they should see the Emperor of Russia as divine and the appointed servant of God whom was given the power to rule the Russian people for the rest of their life. Alexander II, during his reign, had tried to reform the country in order to catch up with its neighboring states, especially the growing power of Prussia that would eventually lead the way to a unified Germany and the largest Empire of the world led by Great Britain. Alexander II's reforms or "The Great Reforms" as it is known was not enough to save the monarchy and Russia from the disaster that lays ahead in less than a century, especially as Alexander II was never passionate about the reforms himself and is later assassinated by a Jewish peasant that sparked waves of anti-Semitism against the Jewish minority living in Russia as a result. His successor Alexander III repressed the reforms that his father had imposed during his rule and increased opposition to those who opposed him with with his secret police force known as the "Okhrana". He is feared throughout his rule and attempts have been made on his life and survived them all, one attempt on him have result to the execution of Lenin's older brother that would feed Lenin's hatred to the Monarchy and the Aristocracy in general. Finally came Nicolas the 2nd, becoming Tsar at 24 and ill trained, he struggled to be a better leader to his people but the Khodynka tragedy, The defeat in the Russo-Japanese war and bloody Sunday of 1905 have tarnished his reputation badly But is this really the end of the Romanovs...?
