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. But Elisabeth was executed in brutal fashion, as she was taken to a mine shaft and was thrown down along with a number of former princes and other members of the royal family. Her execution was one which was needless and un-necessary, and one which was incredibly shocking.

  • Her body is in the Church of Saint Mary Madeline on the Mount of Olives. Both she and her husband visited on pilgrimage to the Holy Land and they donated very generously to many Churches there including the Church in Cana of Galilee. It was her generosity that helped construct the beautiful Church on the Mount of Olives which is a symbol of the Christian Faith in Jerusalem and in the entire world. May her memory be Eternal. She rests there with a nun Barbara from her convent who was martyred with her. Her body was taken by train across Russia all the way to China before returning to Jerusalem.
  • I’ve watched many of these and this is the most shocking one I’ve saw to date. I learned about the Russian revolution in school but never learned about this, she was helping the people more than Lenin and his cronies. Hope they’re all burning in hell for what they did.

  • Thank you for bringing her story to light, Now she wont ever be forgotten. A true inspiration.

    I remember reading about this - your video honors her very much and was well done. As horrific as her end was, I think of all the good she did and compassion she had. No mine shaft or grenade can take away from that. That's where evil men with fragile egos fail.

    I did not know about this. It’s absolutely heartbreaking. Can you even imagine being the type of person who would treat another human in such a manner. If you research how long it takes for someone to starve to death, then remember she was surrounded by dead bodies. She was just a Nun. She wanted to just help people. God Bless her.

  • @conemadam
    I just learned something completely new to me. I thought that I knew a lot about the Russian revolution, but this was shocking and edifying at the same time. Thank you so much.

    A very disturbing era in history, unfortunately repeated many times.
  • Orwell described what revolutions are about in "1984." (they're not about helping the poor).

    They died a more brutal death for being born who they are than criminals who get the death penalty for horrific and heinous crimes. Very cruel way to execute a person. I've always said it's no picnic being born royalty there's alot that comes with that, a responsibility and a burden that would break the majority of people. God Bless our leaders especially those born into it, may they always have the strength to do the right thing πŸ™πŸΌ
  • Well that brutality does not surprise me. My Ukrainian German grand mother had her whole family murdered in 1920. She was the only one who survived and fled to Sweden. She was 17 years old. The Communists were brutal and remained brutal.

    Her story is heartbreaking. as a member of the monarchy, She was only tangentially involved in the aristocratic policy and actions towards the people, and in fact for much of her life, she attempted to provide assistance and care to them. But for her title and status, she was brutally Injured and killed. It always reminds me to not judge other peoples outsides by my insides, meaning many can seem as if they have a charmed life, full of all of the things that one could want, and yet we really don’t know what they have sustained in their own lives. The fact of the matter is she never pursued power, or wealth, but sustained much loss and pain and sorrow all through her life until the bitter end, but she still lived with courage, forgiveness and faith.
