Tsarevich Alexei
Alexei Nikolaevich, Tsarevich of Russia, Цесаревич Алексей Николаевич Poмaнoв, the only son of Tsar Nicholas II and Tsaritsa Alexandra was born on August 12, 1904 and was from the outset the pride and joy of his parents and their hope for the future. However, he was also found to be stricken with hemophilia which made them necessarily protective of him. Their efforts to shelter him however often made him more obsessed with taking risks, hence the mournful rhyme, "Alexei, Alexei, mustn't run and mustn't play, mustn't jump and mustn't climb, must be careful all the time". It was their efforts to deal with his illness that caused Rasputin to gain a foothold at court which proved so disastrous. He was a very kind and sympathetic child, always concerned with the feelings of others. Sadly, he was killed with the rest of his family in the brutal massacre of the Romanovs by the heartless Bolsheviks on July 17, 1918 at the age of only 13.
