I found this image on a Russian site earlier this week. I am not ascribing to any conspiracy theory that Nicholas II survived the regicide in Ekaterinburg in 1918.

I was so impressed by this age enhanced photograph of the Emperor, that I wanted to share it on my blog. Personally, I think it a very good likeness!

An unknown person created it, used FaceApp and Photoshop to create this colour image of what Nicholas II might have looked in 1936, at the age of 68.

It is sad to think what could have been. A handsome and urbane gentleman with a truly pure heart. Now glorified in Heaven, our Blessed Holy Tsar-Martyr
