Nicholas II was the last tsar of Russia. He and his wife and children were executed by firing squad in 1918. 82 years later, the Russian Orthodox Church canonized Tsar Nicholas II.
The last Russian tsar Nicholas II abdicated on March 2, 1917. He and his wife and children then spent nearly six months under house arrest in Tsarskoye Selo before being sent into exile in Tobolsk, Siberia. Eventually, the family of Tsar Nicholas II lived in exile in Yekaterinburg. Photo: Pinterest
