Nicholas & Alexandra (Romanov)
Russia's
last Czar and his Czarina. Nicholas II (born 1868, ruled 1894-1917) was a great-grandson
of Nicholas I and the oldest son of Alexander III. His Danish mother was a sister of Queen
Alexandra of England, wife of Edward VII.
In the summer of 1914
Russia and the other great European powers became involved in World War I. It proved to be
a disaster for the imperial government. There were corruption at home and defeat on the
war fronts. The Russian Revolution came in 1917. Troops in St. Petersburg attacked and
looted the Winter Palace. The emperor abdicated both for himself and the sickly Alexis,
leaving the throne to his brother Michael, who disappeared during the uprisings and was
never heard from again. The imperial family was kept under guard until they were finally
sent to Siberia. There, on July 17, 1918, in the town of Ekaterinburg, Nicholas,
Alexandra, and their five children were brutally murdered by the new Bolshevik rulers.

As you may have noticed, Occultopedia is being updated.
Navigation areas are completed, but the word definition pages are not. The
layout in these pages might not look as good as they should. Updating them
may take a while, so please, be patient and understanding. I am only one
person working on this site in my spare time.
As soon as these updates are concluded I will begin setting up the
Forums, so we can all discuss the
occult, paranormal and extraordinary, and whatever else we please.
Registration will be required.
Occultopedia's images and art are also undergoing an adjustment to
Flash based graphics. This process may take some time as well, so again, be
patient and understanding.

Occultopedia is the genuine article, the
original and the best internet index of the extraordinary and uncanny,
shamelessly copied by many, but never equaled. Online since the
early 90s — at first in a free web space provider, and in 1997 finally
with its own domain name and hosting — Occultopedia still is the
principal online resource for those looking for the unexplained, the
curious and the unusual. |

Occultopedia may appear to be a for profit site, but my site is
not really a commercial one. All of the commercial links are from affiliate

bandwidth — that can be quite costly if you have a lot of traffic, graphics and
pages — and any other expenses related to Occultopedia's upkeep and maintenance.
