A little biography:
Nicholas II - Emperor of All Russia (October 20 (November 1), 1894 - March 2 (March 15, 1917), Tsar of Poland and Grand Duke of Finland. From the Romanov dynasty.
On November 14, 1894, Nicholas II married the German princess Alice of Hesse, who after baptism took the name Alexandra Feodorovna. In subsequent years, they had four daughters - Olga (November 3, 1895), Tatyana (May 29, 1897), Maria (June 14, 1899) and Anastasia (June 5, 1901). On July 30 (August 12), 1904, the fifth child and only son, Tsarevich Alexei Nikolaevich, appeared in Peterhof.
In 1928, Nicholas II and his family were canonized as saints of the Catacomb Church.
In 1981 they were glorified by the Russian Church Abroad.
In accordance with the decision of the Council of Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church of August 20, 2000, Nicholas II, Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna, Tsarevich Alexei, princesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia were canonized as holy new martyrs and confessors of Russia, revealed and unmanifested.
This decision was received ambiguously by Russian society and was criticized. Opponents of canonization argue that the canonization of Nicholas II is of a political nature.
