À propos de ce contenu audio

 From the Time of Troubles to the Bolshevik execution in a Siberian cellar, the Romanov dynasty ruled Russia for over three centuries, shaping an empire that stretched from Poland to the Pacific. Lucas and Luna guide listeners through the reigns of Peter the Great, who westernized Russia and built St. Petersburg; Catherine the Great, who expanded the empire and patronized the Enlightenment; and the tragic Nicholas II, whose inability to reform led to revolution. The show explores key events like the Decembrist Revolt, the emancipation of the serfs, the Russo-Japanese War, and the rise of Rasputin. It examines the dynasty's use of autocracy, Orthodox Christianity, and the secret police to maintain control, and how industrialization and World War I shattered that control. The Romanov story is a lens into Russia's identity—its imperial ambitions, cultural achievements, and violent upheavals. Why does the Romanov legacy still captivate us, from the mystery of Anastasia to Putin's evocation of tsarist symbols?
