Factual errors: Glinka's opera "Russlan and Ludmila" is played at the Kiev Opera House, where Stolypin is assassinated. But historically correct program is Rimsky-Korsakov's "The Tale of Tsar Saltan." See more »

Quotes

Tsar Nicholas II: The Russia my father gave me never lost a war. What shall I say to my son when the time comes? That I had no pride? That I was weak? I've always thought God meant me to rule. He put me here. He chose me, and whatever happens is His will. We shall fight on until victory.
