THEORY: As Gleb's father gathered the bodies of the children and prepared to move them to their mass unmarked grave outside the city, he noticed Anastasia was still alive. In a moment of weakness, he shoves the little body off the cart into the snow, leaving her life to fate. When he returns home to his family, so dedicated to the revolution, he tells them not to ask, as he has just failed them. In the end, not only does he live with the guilt of the faces he executed, but also with the secret knowledge that he betrayed his duty to Russia and himself. He dies of shame.

Gleb's hatred is understandable. Nikolai II and Alexandra Feodorovna had committed many crimes against the Russian people (father and mother of Anya). But their children are not to blame. That caused his inner struggle.

Ahhh, I LOVE the way they wrote Gleb's character as a sympathetic antagonist rather than a one-dimensional bad guy! There's also the fact that he grounds the story more into reality, and that a real communist officer would have probably acted in a similar way. He reminds me a lot of Javert!

We were in NYC last week. Ramin has been my daughter's favorite for 7 years. She recently graduated with a BS in vocal performance and was considering giving up grad school due to seeing little or no path. We went to Anastasia and afterwards Ramin took her aside and spoke with her personally saying, if she loved it to continue. A moment that was so overwhelming for her.

Yeah. Come to think of it, Gleb is what happens if you mix Javert from Les Mis and Phantom. Like Javert, they believe themselves as self-righteous and have a questionable morality. Like Phantom, Gleb is attracted to the leading lady and decided to let her go in the end, along with being portrayed as a sympathetic villian.

"My mother said my father died of shame But I believe he did a proud and vital task." In many ways Gleb is still that boy trying to believe that his father was infallible. Even when his own mother tried to teach him that his father regretted what he did that night. That he made a huge mistake killing the Romanovs. But Gleb has been following in his father's footsteps for so long that he allow himself to see the Romanov assassination as anything other then necessary. At least... that's how I see those lines.

The musical is trying to be more historically accurate. There was no great escape attempt. Instead the Red Army guards holding the Romanovs prisoner brought them to a basement and executed them. The character Gleb’s father was one of those guards and as a boy, Gleb saw him walk off to kill them

At eighteen he went to a convent to join a cult of people who whipped themselves as a way of punishment and redemption for their sins and then he started going around teaching that sexual exhaustion brings you closer to God.
