THE IDES OF APRIL

Episode One: The End of the Romanovs — Power, Abdication, and Inevitability

In this first episode, we trace how the fall of the Romanov dynasty began long before gunfire echoed in a basement. From battlefield catastrophe to political collapse, this is the story of how abdication ended authority—but not danger.

CHAPTERS

Chapter One — The Abdication

The Russian Empire collapses under the weight of war, famine, and failed leadership. Nicholas II abdicates the throne in 1917, believing surrendering power will save his family and stabilize the nation. Instead, it seals his fate.

Chapter Two — Five Children and a Dynasty

Behind the crown stood a family: five children, a sickly heir, and a court defined by secrecy and ritual. Fabergé Easter eggs become symbols of continuity, illusion, and imperial fragility as the Romanovs slip from rulers to prisoners.

Chapter Three — Why the Bolsheviks Could Not Let Him Live

As civil war erupts, the Bolsheviks confront a brutal reality: Nicholas no longer rules—but he still represents. Alive, he remains a rallying point, a bargaining chip, and a threat. The decision is not vengeance—it is preemption.

Abdication ends power.

It does not end meaning.

And revolutions cannot tolerate symbols that still breathe.
