The HORRIFIC Execution Of Princess Elisabeth Of Hesse - The Tsarina's Sister

Описание: Inside of Russia during the Civil War and the Revolution, there were a number of horrific executions which were carried out. The most high profile execution saw the Tsar Nicholas II, Tsarina Alexandra and the Russian royal family being slaughtered in Yekaterinburg. However there were many more members of the ruling family who were executed upon the orders of Vladimir Lenin. One of those who suffered greatly was the harmless and peaceful Princess Elisabeth Of Hesse and By Rhine, who was at the time of her execution a nun who had turned her back on the royal court.

Her husband had been brutally killed by revolutionaries and Elisabeth tried her best to help the poor and needy in Moscow, but Lenin believed she was a symbol of the royalty, and he ordered her arrest.

Her execution was one which was needless and un-necessary, and one which was incredibly shocking.
