This portrait of Russia's last Tsar shows him in the White Hall of the Winter Palace, St. Petersburg. Nicholas stands as a controversial political figure. Reigning during a period of Russian history which was one of its most culturally important, Nicholas was also in power during Russia's most critical political periods. Although known as a religious, tranquil and family-loving man, failure in the Russo-Japanese war heightened his unpopularity, and in 1905, a revolution deprived him of absolute power. Further unrest brought about the February and October revolutions which resulted in his abdication in 1917 and assassination in 1918. 12:55 - 2008-Jan-9 - comments {0} - post commentPortrait of Alexandra Feodorovna
