Years ago I read a book by Richard Pipes, Harvard scholar of Russian history who knew Russian fluently.

I recall reading that as they marched the family to the execution chamber several of the guards insisted on molesting or feeling up some of the Romanov women. That they were to be executed then and there was also a surprise to the family, perhaps even in the room itself.

And after 1918 more than 100 imposters claimed to be Grand Duchess Anastasia.

Ridiculous. I am Anastasia.

This is what COMMUNISTS do.

Is there any doubt that this is what they have planned for us if they take over?

Only on a much larger scale that would make even the WWII Nazis envious...................

The 21st century has had some slow innings compared to the big numbers commies put up in the 20th Century. I'm sure they'll eventually get some hot batters up before it is over.

Czar Nicholas II and his family are recognized as holy martyrs by the Orthodox Church!

Many tens of thousands of Bolsheviks immigrated to the USA after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Those Bolsheviks heirs that supported the murder of the Czar and his family are now running the democrat party.

I say again, they ruthlessly murdered the 4 girls and son, and they want to do the same to Trump and his family.

Many of these filthy evil scumbags are employed by MSNBC. Remember this when they attempt to once again take out Trump. Joe Scarborough and his adulterous wife are very high on the list. /spit

Another history of the events:

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/dna-analysis-confirms-authenticity-remains-attributed-romanovs-180969674/

The new findings are the latest development in a tangled dispute over the remains of the Romanovs, whose downfall was nigh after Nicholas II was forced to abdicate the throne in the midst of the Russian Revolution of 1917. Radical Bolsheviks took power and formed a provisional government, and the tsar, his wife, Alexandra and their five children were imprisoned in the city of Yekaterinburg.

In 1918, civil war broke out between the communist government’s Red Army and the anti-Bolshevik White Army. As the White Army advanced on Yekaterinburg, local authorities were ordered to prevent the rescue of the Romanovs, and in the early hours of July 17, the family was executed by firing squad. Those who remained alive after the bullets stopped flying were stabbed to death.

The Romanovs’ bodies were thrown down a mineshaft, only to be retrieved, burned and buried near a cart track. The remains of Nicholas, Alexandra and three of their daughters— Anastasia, Olga and Tatiana—were found in 1979, though the bodies were only exhumed in 1991 after the collapse of the Soviet Union, according to the AFP. As Tom Parfitt of the Times reports, DNA testing carried out at the time confirmed that the remains were authentic.

There is a related story, that there were some moans and groans from the mineshaft. The "guards" (according to one of them, the witness for this last info), tossed a few grenades into the mineshaft.

Another related story, says that acid was dumped upon the victims.

In his book about the royal couple (family), Robert Massie points out that little was known about Mendelian genetics. Word, scientific word, traveled slowly at that time...So, believing that Rasputin had 'powers', Alexandra would calm down when he entered the room, where little Niki was bleeding. Sensing her calming down, little Niki would also calm down, slowing the rate of his bleeding.

...which effect would be attributed to Rasputin's "powers".

It's not the years, it's the mileage.
