Peter the Great did not leave any instructions about the heir to the Russian throne before his death. The era of palace reshuffles started – the time of overthrowing and ascending to the throne of rulers by forced seizure of power. Huge country was living inertially while its rulers were changing one another on its throne. A young man interested most of all in entertainment and carouse was the first. Then a widow, lover of clownish fights and other entertainments. Then a baby-emperor who would later become the Russian “Iron Mask”. And, at last, a beautiful Princess Elisabeth, the daughter of Peter the Great.

The most vivid pages of Russian history and the establishment and consolidation of Russian state power are associated with the eighteen Russian Tsars of the House of Romanov which include such historic names as Peter the Great, Catherine the Great, Nicholas I and Alexanders I, II and III. The dynasty ended with the brutal assassination of the last Tsar, Nicholas II and his family by the Bolsheviks in Ekaterinburg in 1917.

The Romanov dynasty played a hugely important role in world history, and the series highlights the life stories and characters of the tsars, recounting their rise to power and their contribution to the dynasty, their merits and their faults, their achievements and mistakes, their victories and defeats in war.

The series also examines the Russian form of 'Caesarism' as a system of state administration - its advantages and drawbacks and how the Russian state changed under the Romanov's rule.

THE ROMANOVS is told in eight epic one-hour episodes using a unique combination of magnificent CGI animation and dramatic reconstruction with careful and accurate attention paid to each period.
