Filmmakers
Gleb Panfilov is a famous Russian cinema figure. In Soviet times, he shot the famous drama "There is no ford in the fire" and the drama "Beginning", for which the director received the "Silver Lion of St. Mark ”at the Venice Film Festival. Then there were the films “I beg your words”, “Valentine”, “Theme” and “Vassa”. The director’s first film, shot after the collapse of the Soviet Union, was Romanov. Crowned Family. "

Panfilov wrote the script for the film with his wife, actress Inna Churikova. Behind the camera was Mikhail Agranovich, who also shot the films “Come see me” with Oleg Yankovsky and “Look for a Woman” with Sofiko Chiaureli.

The role of Emperor Nicholas II was approved by the Russian actor and theater director Alexander Galibin.
Galibin is better known to the modern viewer as the performer of the role of the Master in the film by Vladimir Bortko “The Master and Margarita”, as well as the One-Eyed in the series “Queen of Bandits-2”. However, Alexander is well acquainted with a more adult audience since 1977, when he made his debut in the role of Pashka, playing in the film “Tavern on Pyatnitskaya”. After that, the artist often appeared on the screens, playing the main characters: he can be seen in the films "Ivantsov, Petrov, Sidorov", "Scarlet Epaulets", "Courage", "A Tale Told at Night", "Donkey Skin" and many others.
