Nicholas and Alexandra: An Intimate Account of the Last of the Romanovs and the Fall of Imperial Russia is a 1967 biography of Nicholas II and Alexandra Feodorovna of Russia by historian Robert K. Massie. Massie's interpretation focused on the impact of their son Alexei Nikolaevich's hemophilia on Nicholas and Alexandra's decisions, which had received little attention from previous historians. Nicholas and Alexandra was a bestseller and was critically well-received by both scholarly and popular audiences. In 1971, it was adapted into a film of the same name, which was directed by Franklin J. Schaffner. In 1995, Massie published a sequel, The Romanovs: The Final Chapter, which included new information about the use of DNA to identify the Romanovs' remains.
