The Romanov dynasty and the hunt for Russia's incredible tsar's treasure

By tracing the way, in which the royal treasures were appreciated in the nearly 100 years since the murder of Tsar Nicholas II and his family in 1918, we get a very intimate and special look at Russia and its heritage – past and present.

With the upcoming 400th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty in 2013, we are going on a search for what is left of one of the once wealthiest ruling families, its members, private treasures and jewels. We also follow the path of the state’s gold reserves, which went on a mysterious train journey after the Russian Revolution in 1917. We will meet members of the Romanov family, collectors and experts, follow them to archives, museums, private collections and auctions, and will even go on a diving expedition, looking for the Tsar’s gold. By tracing the way, in which the royal treasures were appreciated in the nearly 100 years since the murder of Tsar Nicholas II and his family in 1918, we get a very intimate and special look at Russia and its heritage – past and present.

    The family was probably of grand Tartaria, and that would just not do. The Great Tartarians were to be wiped off the planet along with all of the history of these people.
    It still goes on today, no history book will speak of this grand empire and it’s people.
    Something very incredible and drastic happened in N. E. Russia, if you Google Earth that area you are going to see a landscape that is pulverized, bombed to nothing but rubble and pot holes. There is a man who travels to that place, somewhere in Upper N.E. Russia and comes back with giant melted globs of gold. I’m surprised that he is still alive, probably handing over most of the gold is the only reason why he still breathes.

    Did Anastasia survive have a feeling she did and lived to a ripe old age under the protection of some rich family somewhere outside of Russia , I actually hope she did and may she RIP. May I add when the grave of the Romanov family was unearthed in 1991 the remains all checked by modern DNA proved the bodies of the executed family they where reinterred in Moscow but the bodies of both Anastasia and Alexei where not accounted for, food for thought and yes there have been many over the years claiming to be Anastasia all proved to be bogus. By now both will have been passed and been enshrined in the swirling dusts of time , but their mystery and fate lives on and probably will through Eternity.

    My Grandparents and great grandparents sewed gold coins into their clothing, buried things in the yard before they left and fled for their lives. They must have thought they’d return one day.

    I would not be an American today, and I would not be alive if the Bolsheviks didn’t kick the good people out of the Soviet Union.

    Are they going to dress Putin and his family in jewels when he faces a firing squad? I’m just curious.

  7. @enzobet7979 on November 29, 2023 at 8:13 am

    There’s no such treasure, like any banana emperor he wasted in useless things everything what he stole from the people…

  8. @garylines5755 on November 29, 2023 at 8:13 am

    The gold is in a swiss bank like most of german gold that they stole during the war

    I’d be scared to death to be a rich art collector in Russia. Their politics changes like the wind and you could lose it all.

  10. @rdallas81 on November 29, 2023 at 8:15 am

    Jewish persons killed the Tsars family.
    Jews played a direct role in the Bolsheviks rise.
    You ain’t seen anything yet-.
    It’s literally BIBLICAL.

    Putin will have them stashed away for when he’s toppled next year.

    After the first revolution in Russia of 1905, Tsar Nicholas II began to transfer parts of his huge fortune to banks in Europe and USA. Transfers were made in both foreign currency and precious metals. It was not a secret for the owners of banks, Jewish financial clans.They got Russia into the First World War, and they built Revolution n February 1917. They financed Lenin and Trotsky, party of Bolsheviks, October coup of 1917. It was to their advantage that all the beneficiaries of the Russian royal family were dead.

  18. @Clarasandraco on November 29, 2023 at 8:27 am

    Nothing has change in Russia…..the murder of the Tsar Nicholas II and his family, was only to change the power and money in other hands.

  19. @PeterLee-zn3jl on November 29, 2023 at 8:28 am

    Stones , gold , assets and holdings — the state spent itself into revolution…
    Presents from friends , familty and admireres were often wasted….the glory and va ity go on….

  20. @alicemesa9436 on November 29, 2023 at 8:36 am

    MY OPINION, ENGLAND WAS BEHIND THE TOPPLING OF RUSDIA, THEY THOUGHT ENGLAND SHOULD RULE ALL OF EUROPE. THE JEWELS WERE PROBABLY REDESIGNED AND ENGLISH POSSESSION. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE WOULD BE NO WAY OF PROVING HOW MUCH OF THE JEWELRY WAS REDESIGNED TO HIDE THE THEFT. GREAT BRITAIN HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE GREEDYIST NATION, THEIR CROWN JEWELS WERE STOLEN FROM MANY THIRD WORLD NATIONS WHEN ENGLAND RULED, INDIA, ETC., ETC.

  24. @daveyscraftsblacksmith2504 on November 29, 2023 at 8:38 am

    why do you LIE? why do you falsely claim the Tzar was murdered in a revolution?? that is a complete lie, it was the Jewish Zionists Balshavic invasion, and it was most likely these murderous Jew who most likely stole all the jewels.

    It’s too bad really, Putin would’ve gotten along with Tsar Nicholas if they lived in the same era.

  30. @loril.mangold8160 on November 29, 2023 at 8:41 am

    Someone FROM RUSSIA SOLD THE TREASURES, AND PROFITTED FROM THEM, your Countrymen SOLD THEM, NOW, NOW, YOU WANT TO CLAIM IT BACK AS YOUR OWN, Why didn’t your people STOP It Back then??? Thos IS NOT the same as when GERMANY SOLD the belongings of Jewish peoples possessions. This was your own Countrymen who Killed the Czar, and his family, robbed the treasures and profitted

  31. @ChainsawFPV on November 29, 2023 at 8:42 am

    That one collector can amass a collection worth billions, that is private and will never be seen by anyone, is sad and disgusting. A waste of wealth that could help millions. Just so some old guy can look at it for 1 sec at 3am on the way to go pee.

    Garbage.
    Its all GARBAGE.
    THEY control the diamond, gem industry-
    There are millions of diamonds-
    THEY create the market, you fall for it.

  49. @maegenyoungs2591 on November 29, 2023 at 9:00 am

    My x wife’s grandmother had a yellow diamond bracelet that belonged to this family, it was purchased at a auction by her grandfather in Canada, if you think im just a person filled with air looking for friends, i can tell you, he owned all the buildings Right aid was in, he built and leased them to the company, and owned the Hurffies food chain all until mid 90’s when he pissed his fortune away on a lawsuit against Safeway,

    the bracelet was big and goddy looking, but would be wanted by everyone now.
    The diamonds were about 1/2 wide 3/8 long and there were 15 or 16 stones if I remember correctly just enough room for a clasp

    If you do a Kremlin tour you can actually view the old Romanov jewels
