I know some of you have expressed a (fairly enthusiastic) liking for the (NOT Disney) film Anastasia, which if we’re looking for historical accuracy is really not a winner. However, the BBC have made a documentary that is probably more informative if you are interested in the lives and fate of Nicholas II’s daughters. It certainly helps give a sense of Russia at the time, and I always find it helpful to be able to picture what we’re talking about in lessons.

The first one was this evening and the second one is on Tuesday.
Enjoy!
