Schemel Forum Evening Course: The Romanov Dynasty 1613-1917 

One hundred years ago the Russian Revolution began, toppling the dynasty which had ruled over the vast Russian Empire for over three centuries.  One of the most powerful dynasties ever to exist, the Romanovs had an enormous impact on world history that is still felt today.  

The course examines six pivotal Tsarist rulers: The first Romanov, Tsar Mikhail,the man who brought Russia to the West, Peter the Great, Catherine the Great, the “enlightened despot” and victor over Napoleon, Alexander I, the “Tsar Liberator” Alexander II  and will conclude with the tragic life of the last Tsar, Nicholas II.
