On getting to snowy Russia, the fiancée of Peter Fyodorovich, the heir to the Russian throne, realized that she would be unhappy. Catherine Alekseyevna found herself locked in a foreign country. Nobody, and in the first place her husband, was going to love her. There was nothing in common with her and Peter. He was found of toy soldiers, she of books by philosophers. On becoming emperor, the grandson of Peter the Great decided to get rid of her lawfully wedded wife, but did not have enough time to. Peter died a week after the coup and Catherine II became Russian empress. She was reshaping the country to new patterns and… she could not live a single day without love. The most powerful woman of that epoch. A former German princess Fike. Russian Empress Catherine 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.
