Quotes:

Tsarevich Alexei: Why did you abdicate for me? You never asked!::Tsar Nicholas II: I didn't want you to pay for my mistakes.::Tsarevich Alexei: Am I not paying for them now? Aren't we all?

Tsar Nicholas II: Oh, God, but it's good to be alive! The Earth is like a field in summer, just bursting with good things. Someday, when all the wars are over, someone young will lead us to the harvest. As long as there are children, anything is possible.

Tsarina Alexandra: Nicky? Is it all right if I say something intimate?::Tsar Nicholas II: In public?::Tsarina Alexandra: I'll whisper it.::Tsar Nicholas II: All right. What is it?::Tsarina Alexandra: Nicky... I adore you.

[imprisoned in Ekaterinburg]::Tsar Nicholas II: I suddenly thought of the yacht this morning. Do you remember how the band used to play all the time?::Tsarina Alexandra: Always out of tune. Do you think they drank?::Tsar Nicholas II: How did that waltz go?::[hums a little, off key]::Tsarina Alexandra: You're no better than the band.::[he carries her to the bed and places a chair against the door]::Tsarina Alexandra: The girls?::Tsar Nicholas II: They won't come in. We're alone.::[he takes his wife's hands]::Tsar Nicholas II: Your beautiful hands...::[he lies down with her]::Tsar Nicholas II: I still want you so much. Nothing can ever change that, Sunny.

Tsar Nicholas II: A strong man has no need of power, and a weak man is destroyed by it.

Tsar Nicholas II: A son! I have a son.

Tsar Nicholas II: What are our chances?::Yakovlev: Of what?::Tsar Nicholas II: Living 'till Christmas.::Yakovlev: I haven't thought about it.::Tsar Nicholas II: You puzzle me. You'd be happy to see us dead, and yet you help us get away.::Yakovlev: I haven't your taste for murder, Bloody Nicholas. I've never had a chance to get used to it. How many men have you killed? Have you the least idea? God knows how many peasants died! Nobody counted children. You only know the number of soldiers because somebody counted them for you. 7 million! 6 quarts a man times 7 million! It's an ocean. Have you ever seen a battle ? You're not Bloody Nicholas! You're a man of no imagination.

The German Consul: It's outrageous. We are here in Zurich, and if I understand you, you want the German government, which is at war with Russia, to take you to Sweden, because you can get across to Russia from there.::Vladimir Lenin: I'm offering to stop the war.::The German Consul: I didn't know you had so much authority.::Vladimir Lenin: If there was a Bolshevik government in Russia, we'd immediately make peace with Germany. Then how many German divisions could you transfer to the western front ?::The German Consul: And now you are asking for classified information. Do you realize my government has locked up more Bolsheviks than anyone else? How can you expect us to help you make a revolution? You have no sense of proportion!::Vladimir Lenin: All I'm interested in is power in Russia and it's lying there on the streets, waiting to be picked up. Kerensky won't last. He's still fighting the war, and the people are desperate for peace. I shall offer them peace. Then you'll see the real revolution.

The American Ambassador: In your position, I'd put this Lenin quietly in jail.::Alexander Kerensky: On what pretext?::The American Ambassador: I've read his speeches. Surely, you have to.::Alexander Kerensky: I cannot put a man in jail for what he thinks. It's in your Bill of Rights.::The American Ambassador: He wants to overthrow the government by force. We Americans call that treason.

Tsar Nicholas II: The Russia my father gave me never lost a war. What shall I say to my son when the time comes? That I had no pride? That I was weak? I've always thought God meant me to rule. He put me here. He chose me, and whatever happens is His will. We shall fight on until victory.
