 FACT: The movie shows various historical events in incorrect time  sequence. For example, the movie depicts Stolypin as being  assassinated after the outbreak of the First World War, whereas he  was assassinated in 1911 and the First World War started in 1914.  Similarly, the movie has the Empress saying at the 1913 Romanov  tercentenary celebration that she has been suffering for twelve  years on account of the Tsarevichs illness, whereas in fact the  Tsarevich was born in 1904.
