These series is an amazing anthology of one of the greatest tragedies-the Great October Socialist Revolution, which had happen in Russia in 1917. The brutal execution of Romanoff family by Bolshevics show what Socialism look like. The beginning theme of all episodes is stanning. These series brilliantly show the effect of this tragedy on distant relatives of Romanoff family, who presently are living all around the world. But most importantly it shows the effect of Socialism on present Russia. The last episode (11/16/18) show what real life in Russian Vladivostok look like, where only profitable businesses for women is a prostitution or an assisting in adaption of children by Americans. The money which desperate families from the USA are paying goes not to orphanage to improve the condition of children’s life but to mafia. The most amazing is a reaction of distant relative of Romanoff family on the chair in the office of the orphanage director, which is associating for her with execution of her relatives... She actually is the only one who deeply understands what goes on in this office and she stands her ground accusing a personal of orphanage to sell infant with an alcoholic syndrome... Her reaction is honest and realistic in saying:”I am not a Saint!”. Her desire to get a healthy child is absolutely normal and should not be interpreted as inhuman or selfish... Is it bad to desire a normal human communication with a child to pass everything you know and seen in your life to him? I think that people who condem her for honest expression of her desires are hypocrites... Actually her honesty and ability to see and say the truth, is a proof of her Romanoff heritage... This series are amazing and deserves to become a classic. Very well done!
