'''Czar Nicholas II''' (1868 - 1918) was the last Czar of [[Russia]]. In [[March]] of 1917 he was forced to abdicate and was thereafter placed under house arrest with his family.  The [[Bolsheviks]] came to power in [[Russia]] in [[October]] 1917 and the royal family was executed on 16 July 1918 along with their physician and three servants.

Czar Nicholas and his family were canonized by the [[Eastern Orthodox Church]] in 1981. Also commemorated are those who faithfully served them: General Elias Tatishchev; Prince Basil Dolgorukov; the physician Eugene Dotkin; the lady-in-waiting Countess Anastasia Hendrikova; the serving-maid Anna Demidova; the cook John Kharitonov; and the sailors Clement Nagorny and John Sednev.
