First in line was Tsar Nicholas II, with his son Alexei in his arms. Twenty-three steps, one for each year of his disastrous reign, separated him from the family's collective fate. In the stuffy room, one of the most famous and brutal political assassinations in history would take on the shape of a cruel bloodbath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eRussian history expert Helen Rappaport dissects the Romanovs' 14 days of house arrest in \u003cem\u003eThe Last Days of the Romanovs\u003c\/em\u003e : both the claustrophobic atmosphere inside Ipatiev—the man who once ruled 22 million square meters reigned over a single room—and the political maneuvering of his allies and enemies. Whitewashed windows and a high palisade prevented contact with the outside world. Newspapers and the exchange of letters were forbidden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e With access to the testimony of several key witnesses, Helen Rappaport reveals Lenin's role in the execution. She also shows how the Romanovs and their jailers developed a complex relationship. Some found it difficult to connect the docile face of Nicholas and his beautiful daughters with what Bolshevik propaganda had instilled in them. Young soldiers couldn't resist the charm of the Russian grand duchesses, whose flirtations worried the tsarina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eSince the fall of communism, details surrounding the assassination of the Russian royal family have become increasingly precise. In \u003cem\u003eThe Last Days of the Romanovs\u003c\/em\u003e , Helen Rappaport reveals the final elements of the decision in Moscow and the family's execution in Yekaterinburg. She contrasts the family's ignorance of the impending tragedy with the Bolsheviks' preparations for the crime. She profiles them, exposing, in particular, the heir's hemophilia, the beauty of the young women, the tsarina's desperation, and Nicholas II's passivity. Rappaport spares no detail of the shooting that became a massacre—it took an entire magazine of bullets to kill Nicholas's young son, his torso protected by the jewels sewn into his clothing—and the sordid burial of the bodies. A powerful work of research, a window into one of the most turbulent moments in 20th-century history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e “A touching tribute.” — \u003cem\u003eThe Independent\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e“Rappaport does not spare us the most sordid details of the massacre.” — \u003cem\u003eDaily Telegraph\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e “An intriguing new perspective on what seemed like a tired subject.” — \u003cem\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159688757500,"sku":"9788501084804","price":99.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/33c11e3127b58c34584aa8364a261d67_679ddf75-d3c4-432f-8713-9446a3542a0d.jpg?v=1778311865"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/helen-rappaport.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
