The shooting of the king’s family. The execution of the royal family of the Romanovs - a myth created by parasites
Interview by Vladimir Sychev in the Romanov case
In June 1987, I was in Venice with the French press, accompanying François Mitterrand at the G7 Summit. During the breaks between the pools, an Italian journalist came up to me and asked something in French. Realizing in my accent that I was not French, he looked at my French accreditation and asked where I came from. “Russian,” I answered. - Here is how? - my interlocutor was surprised. He held an Italian newspaper under his arm, from where he translated a huge article half a page away.
Sister Pascalina dies in a private clinic in Switzerland. She was known throughout the Catholic world, because passed with the future Pope Pius XXII from 1917, when he was still Cardinal Pacelli in Munich (Bavaria), until his death in the Vatican in 1958. She had such a strong influence on him that he entrusted the whole administration of the Vatican to her, and when the cardinals requested an audience from the Pope, she decided who was worthy of this audience and who was not. This is a short retelling of a large article, the meaning of which was that the phrase uttered at the end and not just a mortal, we had to believe. Sister Pascalina asked to invite a lawyer and witnesses, because she did not want to carry her to the grave the secret of his life. When they arrived, she only said that the woman buried in the village Morkotenear Lake Maggiore - really daughter of the Russian tsar - Olga!!
I convinced my Italian colleague that it was a gift of Fate and that it was useless to resist it. Upon learning that he was from Milan, I told him that I would not fly back to Paris on the presidential press in plane, and we would go to this village for half a day. After the summit, we went there. It turned out that this was not Italy, but Switzerland, but we quickly found a village, a cemetery and a graveyard guard who led us to the grave. On the gravestone is a photograph of an old woman and an inscription in German: Olga Nikolaevna (without surname), the eldest daughter of Nikolai Romanov, Tsar of Russia, and date of life - 1985-1976 !!!
The Italian journalist was an excellent translator for me, but obviously did not want to stay there all day. I had to ask questions.
When did she settle here? - In 1948.
Did she say that she is the daughter of the Russian Tsar? “Of course, and the whole village knew about it.”
Did it get into the press? - Yes.
How did the other Romanovs react to this? Did they sue? - They did.
And did she lose? - Yes, I lost.
In this case, she had to pay the legal costs of the other party. - She paid.
She worked? - Not.
Where did she get the money from? - Yes, the whole village knew that the Vatican contained it !!
The ring is closed. I went to Paris and began to look for what is known on this issue ... And I quickly came across a book of two English journalists.
Tom Mangold and Anthony Summers published a book in 1979 "Dossier on the king" (“The case of the Romanovs, or execution, which was not”). They began by saying that if the secrecy stamp was removed from the state archives after 60 years, then in 1978 60 years would have passed since the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, and you could dig something there by looking into the declassified archives. That is, in the beginning there was an idea to just look ... And they very quickly got on telegrams English ambassador to his Foreign Ministry that the royal family was taken from Yekaterinburg to Perm. Explaining to the BBC professionals that this is a sensation is not necessary. They rushed to Berlin.
It quickly became clear that whites, entering Yekaterinburg on July 25, immediately appointed an investigator to investigate the execution of the imperial family. Nikolai Sokolov, whose book everyone is still referring to, is the third investigator who received the case only at the end of February 1919! Then a simple question arises: who were the first two and what did they report to the authorities? So, the first investigator by the name of Nametkin, appointed by Kolchak, having worked for three months and stating that he is a professional, is a simple matter and he does not need extra time (and White attacked and did not doubt his victory at that time - i.e. all your time, do not rush, work!), puts on the table a report that there was no execution, but there was a staging of execution. Kolchak this report - under the cloth and appoints a second investigator by the name of Sergeyev. He also works for three months and at the end of February gives Kolchak the same report with the same words (“I am a professional, it’s simple, it’s not necessary extra time, - there was no execution - there was a staging of execution).
Here it is necessary to explain and recall that it was the whites who overthrew the tsar, not the reds, and they sent him into exile in Siberia! Lenin was in Zurich these February days. Whatever simple soldiers say, the white elite are not monarchists, but republicans. And the living king Kolchak was not needed. For those who doubt, I advise you to read Trotsky’s diaries, where he writes that “if the Whites put up any king, even the peasant, we would not have survived even two weeks”! These are the words of the Supreme Commander of the Red Army and the ideologist of the Red Terror !! Please believe.
Therefore, Kolchak already puts “his” investigator Nikolai Sokolov and gives him the task. And Nikolai Sokolov also works only three months - but for a different reason. The Reds entered Yekaterinburg in May, and he retreated along with the White. He took the archives, but what did he write?
1. He did not find corpses, and for the police of any country in any system “no bodies - no murder” - this is disappearance! After all, when arresting serial killers, the police demand to show where the corpses are hidden !! You can say anything you like, even to yourself, and the investigator needs material evidence!
And Nikolai Sokolov "hangs the first noodles on the ears": “Thrown into the mine, flooded with acid”. They prefer to forget this phrase now, but we heard it right up to 1998! And for some reason no one ever doubted. Is it possible to fill the mine with acid? Why, acid is not enough! In the museum of local lore of Yekaterinburg, where the director Avdonin (the same one of the three "accidentally" found the bones on the Starokotlyakovskaya road, cleared up by three investigators in 1918-19), there is a certificate about those soldiers in the truck that they had 78 liters of gasoline (not acid). In the month of July in the Siberian taiga, having 78 liters of gasoline, you can burn the entire Moscow zoo! No, they went back and forth, first they threw them into the mine, poured acid, and then they got out and hid under the sleepers ...
Incidentally, on the night of the “execution” from July 16 to July 17, 1918, a huge composition with the entire local Red Army, the local Central Committee and the local Cheka left from Yekaterinburg to Perm. White entered on the eighth day, and Yurovsky with Beloborodov and associates shifted responsibility to two soldiers? Mismatch, - tea, not with peasant revolt dealt. And if they were shot at their own discretion, then they could have done it a month earlier.
2. The second "noodles" of Nikolai Sokolov - he describes the basement of the Ipatievsky house, publishes photographs showing that the bullets are in the walls and in the ceiling (apparently, they do this when the shot is staged). Conclusion - women's corsets were stuffed with diamonds, and the bullets ricocheted! So, this: the king from the throne and exiled to Siberia. Money in England and Switzerland, and they sew diamonds in corsets to sell to peasants in the market? Well well!
3. In the same book of Nikolai Sokolov, the same basement is described in the same Ipatievsky house, where in the fireplace there are clothes from each member of the imperial family and hair from each head. Did they get their hair cut and changed (undressed ??) before being shot? Not at all - they were taken out by the same train that very “night of execution”, but they got their hair cut and changed their clothes so that no one would recognize them.
Tom Magold and Anthony Summers intuitively realized that the answer to this intriguing detective story must be sought in Brest Peace Treaty. And they began to search for the original text. And what?? With all the removal of secrets after 60 years of such an official document not anywhere! He is not in the declassified archives of London, nor Berlin. They searched everywhere - and everywhere they found only quotes, but nowhere could they find the full text! And they came to the conclusion that Kaiser from Lenin demanded the extradition of women. The tsar’s wife is a relative of Kaiser, her daughters are German citizens and did not have the right to the throne, and besides, Kaiser at that moment could crush Lenin like a bug! And here are the words of Lenin that “The world is humiliating and obscene, but it must be signed”, and the July attempted coup d'etat of the Socialist-Revolutionaries with Dzerzhinsky, who joined them at the Bolshoi Theater, takes a completely different look.
We were officially taught that the Trotsky Treaty was signed only on the second attempt, and only after the start of the German army offensive, when it became clear to everyone that the Republic of Soviets could not resist. If there is simply no army, what is “humiliating and obscene” here? Nothing. But, if you need to surrender all the women of the royal family, and even to the Germans, and even during the First World War, then everything is ideologically in place, and the words are read correctly. That Lenin and performed, and the entire female part was transferred to the Germans in Kiev. And immediately the murder of the German ambassador Mirbach in Moscow and the German consul in Kiev make sense.
The Dossier on the Tsar is a fascinating investigation into a cunningly intricate intrigue of world history. The book was published in 1979, so the words of 1983's sister Pascalina about Olga’s grave could not get into it. And if there weren’t new facts, then simply retelling someone else’s book here would not make sense ...
The royal family spent 78 days in their last house.
Commissioner A. D. Avdeev was appointed the first commandant of the House of Special Purpose.
Preparations for the execution
According to the official Soviet version, the decision to shoot was made only by the Ural Soviet, Moscow was notified of this only after the death of the family.
In early July 1918, the Ural military commissar Philip Goloshchekin left for Moscow to decide on the fate of the imperial family.
The Ural Council at its meeting on July 12 adopted a decree on the execution, as well as methods for the destruction of corpses, and on July 16 transmitted a message (if the telegram is genuine) about this via direct wire to Petrograd - to G. E. Zinoviev. At the end of the conversation with Yekaterinburg, Zinoviev sent a telegram to Moscow:
There is no archived telegram source.
Thus, the telegram was received in Moscow on July 16 at 21 hours 22 minutes. The phrase "court agreed with Filippov" is an encrypted decision on the execution of the Romanovs, which Goloshchekin agreed upon during his stay in the capital. However, the Uralsovet requested once again to confirm in writing this earlier decision, referring to “military circumstances”, since the fall of Yekaterinburg was expected under the blows of the Czechoslovak Corps and the white Siberian Army.
Execution
On the night of July 16-17, the Romanovs and the service staff went to bed, as usual, at 10.30 p.m. At 23 hours and 30 minutes two specially authorized officers from the Uralsovet appeared in the mansion. They handed the decision of the executive committee to the commander of the guard detachment P.Z. Ermakov and the new commandant of the house to the commissioner of the Extraordinary Investigation Commission, Yakov Yurovsky, who replaced Avdeev in this position on July 4, and offered to immediately proceed with the execution of the sentence.
The awakened family members and staff were informed that due to the offensive of the white troops, the mansion could be under fire, and therefore, for security reasons, you need to go to the basement.

There is a version that, for the execution of the execution of Yurovsky, the following document was compiled: Revolutionary Committee of the Yekaterinburg Council of Workers 'and Soldiers' Deputies Revolutionary Headquarters of the Ural District Extraordinary Commission Special Forces to the Ipatiev House / 1st Camis. Shooting regiment / Commandant: Horvat Laons Fischer Anzelm Zdeltelefeldordeldoridor Nieldelfeldorid Iseldereldor Islidredeldoridor Victor Vergazi Andreas Region Com. Vaganov Sergey Medvedev Pav Nikulin Hor. Yekaterinburg July 18, 1918 Head of the Cheka Yurovsky However, according to V.P. Kozlov and I.F. Plotnikov, this document, which was once provided to the press by the former Austrian prisoner of war I.P. Meyer, was first published in Germany in 1956 and, most likely, fabricated, does not reflect the present list of shooters. According to their version, the team of shooters consisted of: a member of the collegium of the Ural Central Committee - M. A. Medvedev (Kudrin), the commandant of the house Y. M. Yurovsky, his deputy G. P. Nikulin, security commander P. Z. Ermakov and ordinary security soldiers - Hungarians (according to other sources - Latvians). In the light of the research of I.F. Plotnikov, the list of those shot can look like this: Ya. M. Yurovsky, G.P. Nikulin, M.A. Medvedev (Kudrin), P.Z. Ermakov, S.P. Vaganov, A.G. Kabanov, P. S. Medvedev, V. N. Netrebin, Y. M. Tselms and, under a very big question, an unknown miner student. Plotnikov believes that the latter was used in Ipatiev’s house for only a few days after the execution and only as a specialist in jewelry. Thus, according to Plotnikov, the execution of the tsar’s family was carried out by a group consisting almost entirely of Russians in national composition, with the participation of one Jew (Y. M. Yurovsky) and, probably, one Latvian (Y. M. Tselms). According to the surviving information, two or three Latvians refused to participate in the execution. , The fate of the RomanovsIn addition to the family of the former emperor, all members of the Romanov House were destroyed for various reasons remaining in Russia after the revolution (with the exception of Grand Duke Nikolai Konstantinovich, who died in Tashkent from pneumonia, and two children of his son Alexander Iskander - Natalya Androsova (1917-1999 ) and Kirill Androsov (1915-1992), who lived in Moscow). Memoirs of ContemporariesMemoirs of Trotsky
Memoirs of SverdlovaSomehow in the middle of July 1918, shortly after the end of the Fifth Congress of Soviets, Yakov Mikhailovich returned home in the morning, it was already dawn. He said that he was delayed at a meeting of the Council of People's Commissars, where, by the way, he informed members of the Council of People's Commissars about the latest news he received from Yekaterinburg. “Have you heard?” - asked Yakov Mikhailovich. - After all, the Urals shot Nikolai Romanov. Of course, I have not heard anything yet. A message from Yekaterinburg was received only in the afternoon. The situation in Yekaterinburg was alarming: the white whales approached the city, the local counter-revolution stirred. The Ural Council of Workers', Soldiers' and Peasants' Deputies, having received information that Nikolai Romanov, who was being held in custody in Yekaterinburg, was preparing to escape, issued a decision to shoot the former tsar and immediately executed his sentence. Yakov Mikhailovich, having received a message from Yekaterinburg, reported on the decision of the regional council to the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee, which approved the decision of the Ural Regional Council, and then informed the Council of People's Commissars. V.P. Milyutin, who participated in this meeting of the Council of People's Commissars, wrote in his diary: “Late he returned from the Council of People's Commissars. There were “current” cases. During the discussion of the project on health care, Semashko's report, Sverdlov came in and sat down in his seat in the chair behind Ilyich. Semashko finished. Sverdlov came up, leaned over to Ilyich and said something. - Comrades, Sverdlov asks for a word for communication. “I have to say,” Sverdlov began in his usual tone, “a message has been received that in Yekaterinburg Nikolai was executed by decree of the regional Council ... Nikolai wanted to run away. Czechoslovakians approached. The Presidium of the CEC decided to approve ... “Now let us proceed to an article-by-article reading of the draft,” Ilyich suggested ... ” Destruction and burial of the royal remainsInvestigationSokolov's investigationSokolov painstakingly and selflessly led the investigation entrusted to him. Kolchak had already been shot, Soviet power returned to the Urals and Siberia, and the investigator continued his work in exile. With the materials of the investigation, he made a dangerous journey through Siberia to the Far East, then to America. In exile in Paris, Sokolov continued to take testimony from surviving witnesses. He died of a heart attack in 1924, and did not complete his investigation. Thanks to the painstaking work of N. A. Sokolov, the details of the execution and burial of the imperial family became known for the first time. The quest for the royal remainsThe remains of members of the Romanov family were discovered near Sverdlovsk in 1979 during excavations, which were led by a consultant to the Minister of the Interior, Geliy Ryabov. However, then the found remains were buried at the direction of the authorities. Excavations were resumed in 1991. Numerous experts have confirmed that the remains found then with a high degree of probability are the remains of the royal family. The remains of Tsarevich Alexei and Princess Mary were not found. In June 2007, recognizing the world-wide historical significance of the event and the object, it was decided to conduct new survey work on the Old Koptyakovskaya Road in order to discover the alleged second place of shelter for the remains of members of the Romanov imperial family. In July 2007, the bones of a young man aged 10–13 years, and girls aged 18–23 years, as well as fragments of ceramic amphoras with Japanese sulfuric acid, iron corners, nails, and bullets were found by Ural archaeologists near Yekaterinburg near burial places of the family of the last Russian emperor. According to scientists, these are the remains of members of the imperial family of the Romanovs Tsarevich Alexei and his sister Princess Mary, hidden by the Bolsheviks in 1918. Andrei Grigoriev, Deputy General Director of the Scientific and Production Center for the Protection and Use of Historical and Cultural Monuments of the Sverdlovsk Region: “I learned from the Ural local historian V.V. Shitov that the archive contains documents that describe the stay of the royal family in Yekaterinburg and her subsequent murder, as well as an attempt to hide their remains. Until the end of 2006, we could not start prospecting work. On July 29, 2007, as a result of searches, we came across finds. ” On August 24, 2007, the Prosecutor General’s Office of Russia resumed the investigation in the criminal case of the execution of the tsar’s family in connection with the discovery of the remains of Tsarevich Alexei and Grand Duchess Maria Romanov near Yekaterinburg. Traces of cutting were found on the remains of the children of Nicholas II. This was announced by the head of the archeology department of the scientific and production center for the protection and use of historical and cultural monuments of the Sverdlovsk region Sergey Pogorelov. “Traces of the bodies being cut were found on the humerus belonging to the man and on a fragment of the skull identified as female. In addition, a completely preserved oval hole was found on the man’s skull, perhaps this is a trace of a bullet, ”Sergey Pogorelov explained. 1990s investigationThe circumstances of the death of the royal family were investigated in the framework of a criminal case instituted on August 19, 1993 at the direction of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation. Materials of the government Commission for the study of issues related to the study and reburial of the remains of the Russian Emperor Nicholas II and his family members are published. Response to the executionKokovtsov V.N .: “On the day the news was printed, I was twice on the street, riding a tram and nowhere did I see the slightest glimpse of pity or compassion. The news was read aloud, with grins, bullying and the most ruthless comments ... Some kind of meaningless hardening, some kind of boast of bloodthirstiness. The most disgusting expressions: - long ago, - well, reign further, - the cover of Nikolashka, - oh brother Romanov, he danced. They heard around, from the youngest youth, and the elders turned away, silently blankly. " Royal family rehabilitationIn the 1990-2000s, various authorities raised the issue of legal rehabilitation of the Romanovs. In September 2007, the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation refused to consider such a decision, since it did not find “accusations and relevant decisions of judicial and non-judicial bodies vested with judicial functions” upon the execution of the Romanovs, and the execution was “deliberate murder, albeit politically charged, by persons not endowed with appropriate judicial and administrative powers. ”At the same time, the Romanov family attorney notes that“ As you know, the Bolsheviks transferred all power to the soviets, including judicial that’s why the decision of the Ural Regional Council is equated with a court decision. ”On November 8, 2007, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation recognized the decision of the prosecutor’s office as legitimate, considering that the execution should be considered solely within the framework of the criminal case. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation was attached the decision of the Ural Regional Council of July 17, 1918, which decided to carry out the execution. This document was presented by the Romanov’s lawyers as an argument confirming the political nature of the murder, which was also noted by representatives of the prosecutor’s office, however, according to the Russian legislation on rehabilitation, the establishment of the facts of repression requires the decision of bodies vested with judicial functions, which the Ural Regional Council was not de jure. Since the case was examined by a higher court, the representatives of the Romanovs house intended to challenge the decision of the Russian court in the European Court. However, on October 1, the Presidium of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation recognized Nikolai and his seven victims of political repressions and rehabilitated them,,. As the lawyer of Grand Duchess Maria Romanova German Lukyanov stated: According to the judge, According to the procedural rules of the Russian legislation, the decision of the Presidium of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation is final and is not subject to review (appeal). On January 15, 2009, the murder of the royal family was closed. ,, In June 2009, the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation decided to rehabilitate six more members of the Romanov family: Romanov Mikhail Alexandrovich, Romanov Elizaveta Fedorovna, Romanov Sergei Mikhailovich, Romanov Ivan Konstantinovich, Romanov Konstantin Konstantinovich and Romanov Igor Konstantinovich, as such “were repressed ... by class and social grounds, without being charged with a specific crime ... ". In accordance with Art. 1 and paragraphs "C", "e" Art. 3 of the Law of the Russian Federation “On the rehabilitation of victims of political repression”, the General Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation decided to rehabilitate Paley Vladimir Pavlovich, Yakovlev Varvara, Yanishev Ekaterina Petrovna, Remez Fedor Semenovich (Mikhailovich), Kalin Ivan, Krukovsky, Dr. Gelmerson and Johnson Nikolai Nikolayevich ( Brian). The issue of this rehabilitation, unlike the first case, was decided in fact in a few months, at the stage of the appeal to the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation, Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna, no legal proceedings were required, since the prosecution authorities revealed all signs of political repression at the entrance to the audit. Canonization and church cult of royal martyrsNotes

It would seem difficult to find new evidence of the terrible events that occurred on the night of July 16-17, 1918. Even people who are far from the ideas of monarchism remember that this night became fatal for the Romanov royal family. That night, abdicated Nicholas II, the former Empress Alexandra Fedorovna and their children - 14-year-old Alexei, Olga, Tatyana, Maria and Anastasia were shot.
Their fate was shared by the doctor E.S. Botkin, the maid A.Demidova, the cook Kharitonov and the footman. But from time to time there are witnesses who, after many years of silence, report new details of the murder of the royal family.
A lot of books have been written about the execution of the royal family of the Romanovs. To this day, discussions about whether the murder of the Romanovs had been planned in advance and whether it was part of Lenin's plans did not stop. And in our time there are people who believe that even the children of Nicholas II could escape from the basement of the Ipatiev House in Yekaterinburg.
The accusation of the murder of the royal family of the Romanovs was an excellent trump card against the Bolsheviks, gave reason to accuse them of inhumanity. Is it because most of the documents and testimonies that tell about the last days of the Romanovs appeared and continue to appear precisely in Western countries? But some researchers believe that the crime that blamed Bolshevik Russia was not committed at all ...
In the investigation of the circumstances of the execution of the Romanovs, from the very beginning there were many secrets. In a relatively hot trail, two investigators were engaged in it. The first investigation began a week after the alleged killing. The investigator concluded that the emperor was actually executed on the night of July 16-17, but the former tsarina, her son and four daughters saved their lives. At the beginning of 1919 a new investigation was conducted. It was headed by Nikolai Sokolov. Could he find conclusive evidence that the whole Romanov family was killed in Yekaterinburg? Hard to say…
When examining the mine, where the bodies of the royal family were dumped, he found several things that for some reason did not catch the eye of his predecessor: a miniature pin that the prince used as a fishing hook, precious stones that were sewn in the belts of the great princess, and the skeleton of a tiny dog, probably the favorite of Princess Tatiana. If we recall the circumstances of the death of the royal family, it is hard to imagine that the corpse of the dog was also transported from place to place in order to hide ... Sokolov did not find human remains, except for a few fragments of bones and a cut off finger of a middle-aged woman, presumably the empress.
1919 - Sokolov fled abroad to Europe. But the results of his investigation were published only in 1924. A rather long period, especially considering the many emigrants who were interested in the fate of the Romanovs. According to Sokolov, all the Romanovs were killed on a fateful night. True, he was not the first to suggest that the empress with children could not be saved. Back in 1921, this version was published by the chairman of the Yekaterinburg Council, Pavel Bykov. It would seem that one could forget about the hopes that any of the Romanovs survived. But both in Europe and in Russia, numerous impostors and impostors constantly appeared, who declared themselves children of the emperor. So, were there any doubts?
The first argument of the supporters of the revision of the version of the death of the entire Romanov family was the announcement of the Bolsheviks about the execution of Nicholas II, which was made on July 19. It was said that only the tsar was executed, and Alexandra Fedorovna with her children was sent to a safe place. The second is that it was more profitable for the Bolsheviks at that time to exchange Alexandra Fyodorovna for political prisoners held in German captivity. Rumors of negotiations on this subject went. Sir Charles Eliot, the British consul in Siberia, visited Yekaterinburg shortly after the death of the emperor. He met with the first investigator in the Romanov case, after which he informed his superiors that, in his opinion, the former queen and her children left Yekaterinburg by train on July 17.
Almost at the same time, Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig of Hesse, Alexandra’s brother, allegedly informed his second sister, Marquis Milford-Haven, that Alexandra was safe. Of course, he could simply console his sister, to whom the rumors about the massacre of the Romanovs could not help but reach. If Alexandra and the children were actually exchanged for political prisoners (Germany would willingly take this step to save her princess), all the newspapers of both the Old and New Worlds would have trumpeted this. This would mean that the dynasty, connected by blood ties with many of the oldest monarchies in Europe, was not interrupted. But no articles followed, because the version that the entire royal family was killed was recognized as official.
In the early 1970s, British journalists Anthony Summers and Tom Menschld familiarized themselves with the official documents of Sokolov’s investigation. And they found in them many inaccuracies and shortcomings that cast doubt on this version. Firstly, the encrypted telegram about the execution of the entire royal family, sent to Moscow on July 17, appeared in the case only in January 1919, after the removal of the first investigator. Secondly, the bodies were still not found. And to judge the death of the Empress by a single fragment of the body - a severed finger - was not entirely correct.
1988 - it would seem that there was irrefutable evidence of the death of the emperor, his wife and children. Former investigator of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, screenwriter Heliy Ryabov received a secret report from the son of Yakov Yurovsky (one of the main participants in the execution). It contained detailed information about where the remains of members of the royal family were hidden. Ryabov set about searching. He managed to detect greenish-black bones with burn marks left by acid. 1988 - he published a report on his find. 1991, July - professional archaeologists came to the place where the remains were supposedly belonging to the Romanovs.
9 skeletons were recovered from the ground. 4 of them belonged to the servants of Nicholas and their family doctor. Another 5 - to the king, his wife and children. To establish the ownership of the remains was not easy. First, the skulls were compared with surviving photographs of members of the imperial family. One of them was identified as the skull of the emperor. A comparative analysis of DNA fingerprints was conducted later. For this, the blood of a person who was related to the deceased was needed. A blood sample was provided by British Prince Philip. His maternal grandmother was the sister of the Empress's grandmother.
The result of the analysis showed complete coincidence of DNA in the four skeletons, which gave reason to officially recognize in them the remains of Alexandra and her three daughters. The tsesarevich and Anastasia’s bodies were not found. On this occasion, two hypotheses were put forward: either the two descendants of the Romanov clan still managed to stay alive, or their bodies were burned. It seems that Sokolov was still right, and his report was not a provocation, but a real coverage of the facts ...
1998 - the remains of the Romanov family were transported with honors to St. Petersburg and buried in the Peter and Paul Cathedral. True, immediately there were skeptics who were sure that the remains of completely different people were in the cathedral.
2006 - conducted another DNA analysis. This time, samples of skeletons found in the Urals were compared with fragments of the relics of Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna. A series of studies was carried out by L. Zhivotovsky, Ph.D., an employee of the Institute of General Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences. His American colleagues helped him. The results of this analysis were completely unexpected: the DNA of Elizabeth and the alleged empress did not match. The first thought that came to the researchers ’mind - the relics stored in the cathedral did not actually belong to Elizabeth, but to someone else. However, this version had to be excluded: the body of Elizabeth was discovered in a mine near Alapaevsky in the fall of 1918, it was identified by people who were close friends with her, including the confessor of Grand Duchess Father Seraphim.
This priest subsequently accompanied the coffin with the body of his spiritual daughter to Jerusalem and would not have allowed any substitution. This meant that, in extreme cases, one body no longer belongs to the members of the Romanov family. Later, doubts arose about the identity of the remaining remains. On the skull, which was previously identified as the emperor’s skull, there was no callus, which could not disappear even so many years after death. This mark appeared on the skull of Nicholas II after an attempt on him in Japan. The protocol of Yurovsky said that the tsar was shot dead at point blank range, while the executioner shot in the head. Even taking into account the imperfection of the weapon, at least one hole from the bullet must have remained in the skull. However, there are no inlets or outlets on it.
It is possible that the 1993 reports were fake. Need to discover the remains of the royal family? Please, here they are. Examination to prove their authenticity? Here is the result of the examination! In the 1990s, there were all conditions for myth-making. No wonder the Russian Orthodox Church was so cautious, not wanting to recognize the discovered bones and rank among the martyrs of the emperor and his family ...
Talks started again that the Romanovs were not killed, but hidden, in order to be used in some political game in the future. Could Nikolai live in the Soviet Union under a false name with his family? On the one hand, this option cannot be ruled out. The country is huge, it will find many corners in which no one would recognize Nikolai. The Romanov family could also be settled in some kind of shelter, where they would be completely isolated from contacts with the outside world, and therefore not dangerous.
On the other hand, even if the remains discovered near Yekaterinburg are the result of falsification, this does not mean at all that there was no execution. They were able to destroy the bodies of dead enemies and dispel their ashes from time immemorial. To burn the human body, you need 300-400 kg of wood - in India every day thousands of the dead are buried precisely by burning. So could the killers with an unlimited supply of firewood and a fair amount of acid not be able to hide all the traces? Relatively not so long ago, in the fall of 2010, during work in the vicinity of the Old Koptyakovskaya road in the Sverdlovsk region. discovered places where killers hid jugs of acid. If there was no execution, where did they come from in the Ural wilderness?
Attempts to restore the events that preceded the execution were carried out repeatedly. As you know, after the abdication, the royal family was settled in the Alexander Palace, in August they were transferred to Tobolsk, and later to Yekaterinburg, to the infamous Ipatiev House.
Aircraft engineer Peter Duz in the fall of 1941 was sent to Sverdlovsk. One of his duties in the rear was the publication of textbooks and manuals for the supply of military universities in the country. Familiarizing himself with the property of the publishing house, Duz found himself in the Ipatiev House, in which then several nuns and two elderly women archivists lived. When examining the premises, Duz accompanied by one of the women went down to the basement and drew attention to the strange grooves on the ceiling, which ended in deep grooves ...
At work, Peter often visited the Ipatiev House. As you can see, the elderly employees felt confidence in him, because one evening they showed him a small closet in which, right on the wall, on a rusty nails, hung a white glove, a ladies fan, a ring, several buttons of different sizes ... On the chair was a small Bible in French and a couple of books in old bindings. According to one of the women, all these things once belonged to members of the royal family.
She also spoke about the last days of the Romanov’s life, which, according to her, were unbearable. The security officers who guarded the captives behaved incredibly rude. All the windows in the house were boarded up. The Chekists explained that these measures were taken for security reasons, but the interlocutor of Duzya was convinced that this was one of a thousand ways to humiliate the "former". It should be noted that the Chekists had reason for concern. According to the archivist, the Ipatiev House was besieged every morning (!) By locals and monks who tried to pass notes to the tsar and his relatives, offering to help with household chores.
Of course, this does not justify the behavior of the Chekists, but any special services officer entrusted with protecting an important person is simply obliged to limit his contacts with the outside world. But the behavior of the guards was not limited to “preventing” sympathizers from the Romanov family members. Many of their tricks were simply outrageous. They found particular pleasure in shocking the daughters of Nicholas. They wrote obscene words on the fence and in the toilet in the courtyard, tried to keep the girls in dark corridors. Nobody has ever mentioned such details. Because Duz listened carefully to the story of the interlocutor. She also reported a lot of new things about the last minutes of the life of the imperial family.
The Romanovs were ordered to go down to the basement. The emperor asked to bring a chair for his wife. Then one of the escorts left the room, and Yurovsky took out a revolver and began to line everyone in one line. Most versions say that the executioners fired in volleys. But the inhabitants of the Ipatievsky house recalled that the shots were chaotic.
Nicholas was killed immediately. But his wife and princesses were destined for a more serious death. The fact is that diamonds were sewn into their corsets. In some places they were located in several layers. Bullets ricocheted from this layer and went to the ceiling. The execution was delayed. When the great princesses were already lying on the floor, they were considered dead. But when one of them began to be lifted in order to plunge the body into the car, the princess groaned and moved. Therefore, the KGB began to finish off her and her sisters with bayonets.
After the execution, no one was allowed into the Ipatiev House for several days - as you can see, attempts to destroy the bodies took a lot of time. A week later, the Chekists allowed several nuns to enter the house - the premises had to be put in order. Among them was the interlocutor of Duzya. According to him, she recalled with horror the picture that had opened in the basement of the Ipatiev House. There were many bullet potholes on the walls, and the floor and walls in the room where the shooting was carried out were in blood.
Subsequently, experts from the Main State Center for Forensic and Forensic Expertise of the Ministry of Defense of Russia restored the picture of the shooting to the nearest minute and a millimeter. Using a computer, relying on the testimonies of Grigory Nikulin and Anatoly Yakimov, they established where and at what point the executioners and their victims were. Computer reconstruction showed that the Empress and the Grand Duchesses tried to close Nicholas from bullets.
Ballistic examination established many details: from what weapons the members of the imperial family were eliminated, how many shots were fired. The Chekists needed to pull the trigger at least 30 times ...
Every year, the chances of discovering the real remains of the royal family of the Romanovs (if you recognize the Yekaterinburg skeletons as fakes) melt away. So, the hope melts away someday to find the exact answer to the questions: who died in the basement of the Ipatiev House, whether someone from the Romanovs managed to escape and what the fate of the heirs of the Russian throne was ...
On the night of July 16-17, 1918, in the city of Yekaterinburg, in the basement of the house of mining engineer Nikolai Ipatiev, Russian Emperor Nicholas II, his wife Empress Alexandra Fedorovna, their children are Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatyana, Maria, Anastasia, heir to Tsarevich Alexei, and also ‑Medic Yevgeny Botkin, valet Alexei Troupp, room girl Anna Demidova and cook Ivan Kharitonov.
The last Russian emperor Nikolai Alexandrovich Romanov (Nicholas II) ascended the throne in 1894 after the death of the father of Emperor Alexander III and reigned until 1917, when the situation in the country became more complicated. On March 12 (February 27 according to the old style) of 1917, an armed uprising began in Petrograd, and on March 15 (March 2 according to the old style) of 1917, at the insistence of the Provisional Committee of the State Duma, Nicholas II signed the abdication for himself and his son Alexei in favor of the younger brother of Mikhail Alexandrovich.
After his abdication from March to August 1917, Nikolai and his family were arrested in the Alexander Palace of Tsarskoye Selo. A special commission of the Provisional Government studied materials for the possible trial of Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra Fedorovna on charges of treason. Not finding evidence and documents that clearly convicted them of this, the Provisional Government was inclined to expel them abroad (to the UK).
In August 1917, the arrested were transported to Tobolsk. The main idea of \u200b\u200bthe Bolshevik leadership was an open trial of the former emperor. In April 1918, the All-Russian Central Executive Committee decided to transfer the Romanovs to Moscow. Vladimir Lenin spoke in favor of the trial of the former tsar; the main prosecutor of Nicholas II was supposed to make Leo Trotsky. However, information appeared about the existence of "White Guard conspiracies" for the abduction of the king, the concentration of "conspirator officers" for this purpose in Tyumen and Tobolsk, and on April 6, 1918, the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee decided to transfer the imperial family to the Urals. The royal family was transported to Yekaterinburg and housed in Ipatiev’s house.
The revolt of the white-cheeks and the advance of the White Guard troops on Yekaterinburg accelerated the decision to shoot the former king.
To organize the execution of all members of the royal family, Dr. Botkin and the servants who were in the house, was entrusted to the commandant of the Special Purpose House Yakov Yurovsky.

The execution scene is known from investigative protocols, from the words of participants and eyewitnesses and stories of direct performers. Yurovsky spoke about the execution of the royal family in three documents: “Note” (1920); "Memoirs" (1922) and "Speech at the meeting of the old Bolsheviks in Yekaterinburg" (1934). All the details of this crime, transmitted by the main participant at different times and under completely different circumstances, agree on how the royal family and its servants were shot.
According to documentary sources, you can set the start time for the murder of Nicholas II, members of his family and their servants. The car that delivered the last order to destroy the family arrived at half past one from July 16 to July 17, 1918. After that, the commandant ordered the life physician Botkin to wake the royal family. It took the family about 40 minutes to gather, then she and the servants were transferred to the basement of this house, which overlooked Voznesensky Lane. Tsarevich Alexei Nicholas II carried in his arms, because he could not walk due to illness. At the request of Alexandra Fedorovna, two chairs were brought into the room. She sat on one, on another Tsarevich Alexey. The rest are located along the wall. Yurovsky brought a firing squad into the room and read the verdict.
Here is how Yurovsky himself describes the execution scene: "I invited everyone to stand up. Everyone stood up, occupying the entire wall and one of the side walls. The room was very small. Nikolai stood with his back to me. I announced that the Executive Committee of the Soviets of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers' Deputies The Urals decided to shoot them. Nikolai turned and asked. I repeated the order and ordered: “Shoot." The first shot I killed on the spot and killed Nikolai. The bullet lasted a very long time and, despite my hopes that the wooden wall would not give a rebound, the bullets bounced off of it I am long I couldn’t stop this shooting, which took on a careless character, but when I finally managed to stop it, I saw that many were still alive. For example, Dr. Botkin was lying with his elbow on his right hand, as if in a resting pose, he ended it with a revolver shot. Alexey, Tatyana, Anastasia and Olga were also alive. Demidova was still alive. Comrade Ermakov wanted to finish the job with a bayonet. But, however, this did not work out. The reason was clarified later (the daughters had diamond shells like bras). I had to take turns shooting everyone. "
After stating death, all the corpses began to be transferred to the truck. At the beginning of the fourth hour, at dawn, the bodies of the dead were taken out from Ipatiev’s house.
The remains of Nicholas II, Alexandra Fedorovna, Olga, Tatyana and Anastasia Romanov, as well as people from their environment who were shot in the Special Purpose House (Ipatiev’s house), were discovered in July 1991 near Yekaterinburg.
On July 17, 1998, in the Peter and Paul Cathedral of St. Petersburg, the remains of members of the royal family were buried.
In October 2008, the Presidium of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation decided to rehabilitate the Russian Emperor Nicholas II and his family members. The Russian Prosecutor General’s Office also decided to rehabilitate members of the imperial family — the grand dukes and princes of blood, executed by the Bolsheviks after the revolution. Servants and close associates of the royal family were rehabilitated, who were executed by the Bolsheviks or subjected to repression.
In January 2009, the Main Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee at the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation terminated the investigation of the death and burial of the last Russian emperor, members of his family and people from the circle shot in Yekaterinburg on July 17, 1918, "due to the expiration of the statute of limitations for criminal responsibility and death of persons who committed a premeditated murder "(subparagraph 3 and 4 of part 1 of article 24 of the CPC of the RSFSR).
The tragic story of the royal family: from execution to reposeIn 1918, on the night of July 17, in Yekaterinburg, in the basement of the house of mining engineer Nikolai Ipatiev, the Russian emperor Nicholas II, his wife Empress Alexandra Fedorovna, their children - Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatyana, Maria, Anastasia, the heir to Tsarevich Alexei, were shot.On January 15, 2009, the investigator ordered the termination of the criminal case, but the judge of the Basmanny District Court of Moscow on August 26, 2010, in accordance with Article 90 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation, recognized this decision as unfounded and obliged to eliminate the violations. On November 25, 2010, the resolution of the investigation to dismiss the case was canceled by the deputy chairman of the Investigative Committee.
On January 14, 2011, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation said that the decision was brought in accordance with a court decision and the criminal case on the death of representatives of the Russian Imperial House and persons from their entourage was discontinued in 1918-1919. The identification of the remains of family members of the former Russian Emperor Nicholas II (Romanov) and persons from his retinue is confirmed.
October 27, 2011 the decision to terminate the investigation into the execution of the royal family was. The resolution on 800 pages contains the main findings of the investigation and indicates the authenticity of the discovered remains of the royal family.
However, the issue of authentication remains open. In order to recognize the found remains of the relics of the royal martyrs, the Russian Orthodox Church, the Russian Imperial House in this matter supports the position of the Russian Orthodox Church. The director of the office of the Russian Imperial House emphasized that genetic examination was not enough.
The church canonized Nicholas II and his family and on July 17 marks the day of memory of the holy Royal Martyrs.
Material prepared on the basis of RIA Novosti information and open sources
I bring to the attention of readers very interesting information from the book “The Way of the Cross of the Holy Royal Martyrs”
(Moscow 2002)
The assassination of the Royal Family was prepared in the strictest confidence. Even many high-ranking Bolsheviks were not dedicated to it.
It was committed in Yekaterinburg by order from Moscow, according to a long-conceived plan.
The investigator names Yankel Movshevich Sverdlov, who served as chairman of the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Isp. committee of the Congress of Soviets, the omnipotent ruler-interim Russia in this era.
All the threads of the crime converge on him. From him came the instructions received and executed in Yekaterinburg. His task was to give the murder the appearance of an unauthorized act of the local Ural authorities, thereby removing in full measure the responsibility of the Soviet government and the real initiators of the crime.
The following persons were accomplices of the murder from among the local Bolshevik leaders: Shaya Isaakovich Goloshchekin — Sverdlov’s personal friend, who seized the actual power in the Urals, the military commissar of the Urals region, the head of the Cheka and the chief executioner of the Urals at that time; Yankel Izidorovich Vaysbart (calling himself the Russian worker A.G. Beloborodov) - chairman of the Executive Committee of the Ural Regional Council; Alexander Mebius - Chief of the Revolutionary Headquarters - High Commissioner of Bronstein-Trotsky; Yankel Khaimovich Yurovsky (who called himself Yakov Mikhailovich, - Commissioner of Justice of the Ural Region, member of the Cheka; Pinhus Lazarevich Weiner (who called himself Peter Lazarevich Voikov (his name is the modern Moscow metro station "Voikovskaya") - Commissioner of supply of the Ural region, - Yurovsky and closest assistant Safarov, Yurovsky’s second assistant, all of them executed instructions from Moscow from Sverdlov, Apfelbaum, Lenin, Uritsky and Bronstein-Trotsky (in his memoirs published abroad in 1931, Trotsky himself about accused, cynically justifying the murder of the entire Royal Family, including the August Children).
In the absence of Goloshchekin (he went to Sverdlov to Moscow for instructions), preparations for the assassination of the Tsar's Family began to take a specific form: they removed unnecessary witnesses - the internal guard, because it was almost completely located towards the Royal Family and was unreliable for the executioners, namely on July 3, 1918. - Avdeev and his assistant Moshkin (was even arrested) were suddenly expelled. Instead of Avdeev, the commandant of the "House of Special Purpose" became Yurovsky, Nikulin was appointed his assistant (known for his atrocities in Kamyshin, working in Cheka).
All security was replaced by select security officers seconded by a local emergency. From that moment and during the last two weeks, when the Royal Prisoners had to live under the same roof with their future executioners, Their Life became continuous torment ...
On Sunday 1/14 July, three days before the murder, at the request of the Sovereign, Yurovsky allowed inviting Archpriest Father John Storozhev and Deacon Bumirov, who had served as a church hall for the Tsar's Family earlier than May 20 / June 2. They noticed a change in the state of mind of Their Majesties and August Children. According to O. John, They were not “oppressed, but nevertheless made the impression of being weary”. On this day, for the first time, none of the Members of the Royal Family sang during the service. They prayed silently, as if anticipating that this was Their last church prayer, and as if it had been revealed to Him that this prayer would be extraordinary. And indeed, a significant event occurred here, the deep and mysterious meaning of which became clear only when it was a thing of the past. The deacon, began to sing "With the saints repose," although the prayer is supposed to be read on the order of the liturgy, - recalls Fr. John: "... I began to sing, somewhat embarrassed by such a deviation from the charter, but as soon as we sang, I heard that the Members of the Romanov Family who stood behind me knelt down ...". So the Royal Prisoners, without knowing it themselves, prepared for death by accepting the funeral farewell ...
Meanwhile, Goloshchekin brought an order from Moscow from Sverdlov on the execution of the Tsar’s Family.
Yurovsky and his team of executioners quickly prepared everything for execution. On the morning of Tuesday 3/16 July 1918 he removed from the Ipatiev house the apprentice of the little cook Leonid Sednev - nephew I.D. Sednev (child footman).
But even in these dying days, the Royal Family did not lose courage. On Monday, July 2/15, four women were sent to Ipatiev’s house to wash the floors. One then showed the forensic investigator: “I personally washed the floors in almost all the rooms reserved for the Tsar’s Family ... the Princesses helped us clean and move the beds in their bedroom and talked happily between themselves ...”.
At 7 o’clock in the evening, Yurovsky ordered that the revolvers be taken from the Russian outdoor guard, then he distributed the same revolvers to the participants in the execution, Pavel Medvedev helped him.
On this last day of the life of the Prisoners, the Sovereign, the Heir to the Cesarevich and all the Grand Duchesses went on an ordinary walk into the garden and at 4 pm during the changing of the guard returned to the house. They did not go out anymore. The evening routine was not disturbed by anything ...
Without suspecting anything, the Imperial Family went to bed. Soon after midnight, Yurovsky entered their rooms, woke everyone up and, under the pretext of danger to the city from the approaching white troops, announced that he had orders to take the prisoners to a safe place. After some time, when everyone was dressed, washed and prepared for departure, Yurovsky, accompanied by Nikulin and Medvedev, led the Tsar's Family to the lower floor to the outer door overlooking Voznesensky Lane.
Ahead were Yurovsky and Nikulin, holding a lamp in his hand to illuminate a dark narrow staircase. They were followed by the Sovereign. He carried on the hands of the Heir Alexei Nikolaevich. The Heir's leg was bandaged with a thick bandage, and at every step He moaned softly. The Empress and the Grand Duchesses followed the Emperor. Some of them had a pillow with them, and Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna carried her beloved dog Jimmy in her arms. Next came the life doctor E.S. Botkin, the room girl A.S. Demidov, the footman A.E.Trupp and the cook I.M. Kharitonov. The procession was closed by Medvedev. Going down and going through the entire lower floor to the corner room - it was the front door with an exit door to the street - Yurovsky turned left into the next middle room, just under the bedroom of the Grand Duchesses, and announced that they would have to wait until the cars were served. It was an empty basement room with a length of 5 1/3 and a width of 4 1 \\ 2 m.
Since the Tsarevich could not stand, and the Empress was unwell, at the request of the Emperor brought three chairs. The Sovereign sat in the middle of the room, sitting the Heir next to Him and embracing Him with his right hand. Behind the Heir and slightly to the side of Him stood Dr. Botkin. The Empress sat on the left hand of the Emperor, closer to the window and a step behind. On Her chair, and on the chair of the Heir, they laid a pillow. On the same side, even closer to the wall with the window, in the back of the room, was Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna and a little further, in the corner near the outer wall, Anna Demidova. Behind the chair of the Sovereign, one of the elders V. Knyazhen, probably Tatyana Nikolaevna, became. On the right hand from Her, leaning against the back wall, stood V.Knyazhni Olga Nikolaevna and Maria Nikolaevna; next to them, a little ahead, A.Trupp, holding a blanket for the Heir, and in the far left corner of the door, cook Kharitonov. The first half of the room from the entrance remained free. Everyone was calm. They are apparently used to similar night alarms and movements. Moreover, Yurovsky’s explanations seemed plausible, and some “forced” delay did not raise any suspicions.
altYurovsky went out to make the last orders. By this time, in one of the neighboring rooms, all 11 executioners had gathered, shooting the Tsar's Family and Her faithful servants that night. Here are their names: Yankel Khaimovich Yurovsky, Nikulin, Stepan Vaganov, Pavel Spiridonovich Medvedev, Laons Horvat, Anselm Fischer, Isidor Edelstein, Emil Fekte, Imre Nad, Victor Greenfeld and Andreas Vergazi - mercenaries - Magyars.
Each had a seven-shot revolver gun. Yurovsky also had a Mauser, and two had rifles with attached bayonets. Each killer chose his victim in advance: Horvat chose Botkin. But at the same time, Yurovsky strictly forbade all others to shoot the Sovereign Emperor and Tsesarevich: he wanted - but rather, he was ordered - to kill the Russian Orthodox Tsar and His Heir with his own hand.
Outside the window, the engine heard the sound of a four-ton Fiat truck, prepared for transporting bodies. Shooting to the noise of a running truck engine to drown out the shots was a favorite of the Chekists. This method has been applied here.
It was 1h. 15m Nights on sunny time, or 3 hours. 15m in summer (translated by the Bolsheviks two hours in advance). Yurovsky returned to the room, along with the whole team of executioners. Nikulin became closer to the window, opposite the Empress. Horvat was facing Doctor Botkin. The rest were divided on either side of the door. Medvedev took a doorstep.
Approaching the Tsar, Yurovsky said a few words, announcing the impending execution. This was so unexpected that the Emperor, apparently, did not immediately understand the meaning of what was said. He got up from his chair and asked in amazement: “What? What? ”The Empress and one of the V. Prince managed to cross themselves. At this moment, Yurovsky raised his revolver and shot several times at point blank range, first at the Sovereign and then at the Heir.
Almost simultaneously, others began to shoot. The Grand Duchesses, who stood in the second row, saw Their Parents fall, and began to scream in horror. They were destined to survive them for several terrible moments. The shooters fell one after another. Within only 2-3 minutes, about 70 shots were fired. The wounded princes were pierced with bayonets. The heir moaned faintly. Yurovsky killed him with two shots to the head. The wounded Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna was finished off with bayonets and butts.
Anna Demidova rushed about until she fell under the blows of the bayonets. Some victims were shot and pierced before everything calmed down.
... Through the bluish fog that filled the room from many shots, with the weak consecration of one light bulb, the picture of the murder was a terrifying sight.
The emperor fell forward, close to the empress. Next to him lay the Heir. The Grand Duchesses were together, as if They were holding each other's hands. The corpse of little Jimmy was spread between them, which the Great Anastasia Nikolaevna pressed to herself until the last moment. Dr. Botkin took a step forward before falling face down with his right hand raised. Anna Demidova and Alexey Troupp fell near the back wall. At the feet of the Grand Dukes, Ivan Kharitonov lay backward. All those killed had several wounds, and therefore there was especially much blood. Their faces and clothes were in blood, she stood puddles on the floor, sprayed and stained the walls. It seemed that the whole room was covered in blood and was a massacre (Old Testament altar).
On the night of the martyrdom of the Tsar’s Family, the blessed Diveevskaya Maria raged and shouted: “Tsarev with bayonets! Damned Yids! ” She was furious, and only then did they understand what she was screaming about. Under the vaults of the Ipatiev basement, in which the Royal Martyrs and their Faithful servants completed their procession of the cross, inscriptions left by the executioners were discovered. One of them consisted of four cabalistic signs. It was deciphered as follows: “Here, by order of the satanic forces, the Tsar was sacrificed for the destruction of the State. All nations are notified of this. ”
“... At the very beginning of this century, even before the First World War, small shops in the Polish kingdom were selling rather crudely printed postcards from under the floor depicting a Jewish“ tzadik ”(rabbi) with a Torah in one hand and a white bird in the other. The bird had the head of Emperor Nicholas II, with the imperial crown. Below ... was the following inscription: "Let this sacrificial animal be my cleansing, it will be my substitution and purifying sacrifice."
During the investigation into the murder of Nicholas II and His Family, it was found that the day before this crime a special train arrived in Yekaterinburg from Central Russia, consisting of a steam locomotive and one passenger car. In him came a face in black clothes, looking like a Jewish rabbi. This person examined the basement of the house and left a Kabbalistic inscription on the wall (above-comp.) ... "." Christography "," New Book of Russia "magazine.
... By this time, Shaya Goloshchekin, Beloborodov, Moebius and Voikov arrived in the "House of Special Purpose". Yurovsky and Voikov engaged in a thorough examination of the dead. They turned everyone on their backs to make sure there were still no signs of life. At the same time, they removed from their victims jewelry: rings, bracelets, gold watches. They removed shoes from the Tsarevins, which they then presented to their mistresses.
Then the bodies were wrapped in pre-made overcoat cloth and transported on a stretcher, made of two shafts and a sheet, to a truck standing at the entrance. The Zlokazian worker Lyukhanov was driving. Together with him sat Yurovsky, Ermakov and Vaganov.
Under cover of night, the truck drove away from Ipatiev’s house, went down Voznesensky Prospekt in the direction of Glavny Prospekt and drove out of the city through the outskirts of Verkh-Isetsk. Here he turned onto the only road leading to the village of Koptyaki, spread on the shores of Lake Iset. The road there goes through the forest, crossing the Perm and Tagil railway lines. It was already dawn when, about 15 versts from Yekaterinburg and, not reaching four versts to Koptyakov, the truck turned left into a dense forest in the tract of “Four Brothers” and reached a small forest clearing near a row of abandoned mine mines called “Ganina Yama”. Here the bodies of the Royal Martyrs were unloaded, chopped, doused with gasoline and thrown into two large bonfires. Bones were destroyed with sulfuric acid. For three days and two nights, the killers, assisted by 15 responsible party communists, specially mobilized for this purpose, did their diabolical work under the direct supervision of Yurovsky, on the instructions of Voikov and under the supervision of Goloshchekin and Beloborodov, several times who came from Yekaterinburg to the forest. Finally, by the evening of July 6/19, it was all over. The killers painstakingly destroyed the fires. The ashes and all that was left of the burned bodies were thrown into the mine, which was then blown up with hand grenades, and around the earth they dug up the earth and threw it with leaves and moss to hide the traces of the crime committed here.
altAbout the assassination of the Imperial Beloborod Family, he immediately telegraphed Sverdlov. However, this latter did not dare to reveal the truth not only to the Russian people, but even to the Soviet government. At a meeting of the Council of People's Commissars on July 5/18, chaired by Lenin, Sverdlov made an emergency statement. It was a heap of lies.
He said that a message was received from Yekaterinburg about the execution of the Sovereign Emperor, that he was shot by order of the Ural Regional Council and that the Empress and Heir were evacuated to a "safe place." He kept silent about the fate of the Grand Dukes. In conclusion, he added that the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee approved the resolution of the Ural Council. Having listened in silence to Sverdlov’s statement, the members of the Council of People's Commissars continued the meeting ...
The next day it was announced in Moscow in all newspapers. After long negotiations with Sverdlov over the direct wire, Goloshchekin made a similar message in the Ural Council, which was published in Yekaterinburg only on July 8/21, since the Yekaterinburg Bolsheviks, who allegedly arbitrarily shot the Tsar’s Family, did not actually dare even issue a message without Moscow’s permission about the execution. Meanwhile, with the approach of the front, the Bolsheviks stampeded from Yekaterinburg. July 12/25, he was taken by the troops of the Siberian Army. On the same day, a guard was assigned to Ipatiev’s house, and on July 17/30 a judicial investigation began, which restored in almost all details the picture of this terrible crime, and also established the identities of its organizers and performers. In the following years, a number of new witnesses appeared, and new documents and facts became known that further supplemented and clarified the investigation materials.
Investigating the ritual murder of the Tsar’s Family, the investigator N.A. Sokolov, literally sifting all the land on the site of the burning of the bodies of the Tsar’s Family and discovering numerous fragments of crushed and charred bones and extensive greasy masses, did not find a single tooth, not a single fragment of them, but as you know, teeth do not burn in a fire. It turned out that after the assassination, Isaac Goloshchekin immediately went to Moscow with three barrels of alcohol ... He brought these heavy barrels, corked in wooden boxes and wrapped with ropes, to Moscow, and there was no place at all in the passenger compartment of the carriage in the cabin. Some of the accompanying security officials and train servants were interested in the mysterious cargo. Goloshchekin answered all questions that he was carrying samples of artillery shells for the Putilov plant. In Moscow, Goloshchekin took the boxes, left for Yankel Sverdlov and lived with him for five days without returning to the carriage. What documents are in the literal meaning of the word, and for what purpose could Yankel Sverdlov, Nakhamkes and Bronstein be interested?
It is possible that the murderers, destroying the Tsar’s bodies, separated honest heads from them, in order to prove to the leadership in Moscow about the liquidation of the entire Tsar’s Family. This method, as a form of “reporting”, was widely used in the Cheka, in those terrible years of mass killings of the defenseless population of Russia by the Bolsheviks.
There is a rare snapshot: in the days of the February turmoil, the Tsar’s children with measles recovered after recovering all five with their shaved heads - so that only their heads were visible, and they all looked the same. The Empress burst into tears: five children's heads seem cut off ...
That it was a ritual murder is beyond any doubt. This is evidenced not only by ritual Kabbalistic inscriptions in the basement of the Ipatiev House, but also by the killers themselves.
The wicked knew what they were doing. Their conversations are noteworthy. One of the regicide M.A. Medvedev (Kudrin) described in December 1963 the night of July 17:
... went down to the first floor. Here is that room, "very small." "Yurovsky and Nikulin brought three chairs - the last thrones of the condemned Dynasty."
Yurovsky aloud states: "... we have the mission to end the House of Romanov!"
And here is the moment immediately after the reprisal: “Near the truck I meet Philipp Goloshchekin.
Where were you? I ask him.
Walked on the area. Listened to the shots. It was heard. - Bent over the King.
The end, you say, of the Romanov Dynasty ?! Yes…
The Red Army man brought on a bayonet Anastasia's little dog - when we walked past the door (to the stairs to the second floor), a long mournful howl rang out from the sash - the last salute to the All-Russian Emperor. The corpse of the doggie was thrown next to the king.
Dogs - dog death! “Goloshchekin said contemptuously.”
After the savages initially threw the bodies of the Royal Martyrs into the mine, they decided to extract them from there in order to put them on fire. “From July 17 to July 18,” P.Z. recalled. Ermakov, - I again arrived in the forest, brought a rope. I was lowered into the mine. I began to individually tie each, and two guys pulled out. All the corpses were removed (syk! - S.F.) from the mine in order to end the Romanovs and so that their friends would not think to create the SACRED POWER. ”
M.A. Medvedev testified: “Before us lay ready“ MIRACULOUS POWER ”: the icy water of the mine not only completely washed off the blood, but also froze the bodies so that they looked as if alive — there was even a blush on the faces of the Tsar, girls and women.”
One of the participants in the destruction of the royal bodies, Chekist G.I. Sukhorukov recalled on 3.4.1928: “In order that even if the whites even found these corpses and didn’t guess by the quantity that this was the Tsar’s Family, we decided to burn two pieces at the stake, which we did, the first Heir came to OUR VICTIM AND the second is the youngest daughter Anastasia ... ”
Member of the regicide M.A. Medvedev (Kudrin) (December 1963): “With a deep religiosity of the people in the province, it was impossible to allow even the remains of the Tsar Dynasty to be left to the enemy, from which the“ SACRED MIRACULOUS POWER ”would be fabricated by the clergy ...”.
Another Chekist G.P. also believed. Nikulin in his conversation on the radio on May 12, 1964: "... Even if a corpse had been discovered, then obviously some POWER from it would have been created, you know, around which some kind of counter-revolution would have been grouped ...".
The same day, his comrade I.I. confirmed Rodzinsky: “... After all, the matter was very serious.<…> If the White Guards found these remains, you know what they would do? POWER Religious passages, would use the rustic darkness. Therefore, the issue of hiding traces was more important than even execution itself.<…> That was the most important thing ... ”
No matter how the bodies are distorted, - M.K. Diterikhs, - Isaac Goloshchekin perfectly understood that for a Russian Christian it is not the finding of a physical whole body that matters, but Their most insignificant remains, as sacred relics of those bodies whose soul is immortal and cannot be destroyed by Isaac Goloshchekin or another fanatic of the Jewish people like him ".
Truly: and demons believe and tremble!
... The Bolsheviks renamed Yekaterinburg to Sverdlovsk - in honor of the main organizer of the assassination of the Tsar's Family, and thereby not only confirmed the correctness of the prosecution of the judiciary, but also their responsibility for this greatest crime in human history committed by world evil forces ...
The date of the savage murder, July 17, is not accidental. On this day, the Russian Orthodox Church honors the memory of the Holy Right Prince Andrew Bogolyubsky, who consecrated the autocracy of Russia with his martyrdom. According to the chroniclers, the Jewish conspirators "converted" to Orthodoxy and blessed by Him himself, killed him in the most cruel way. Holy Prince Andrei was the first to proclaim the idea of \u200b\u200bOrthodoxy and Autocracy as the foundation of the statehood of Holy Russia and was, in fact, the first Russian Tsar.
According to God's providence, the Royal Martyrs were taken from earthly life all together. As a reward for boundless mutual love, which tightly bound them into one indivisible whole.
The sovereign courageously ascended Golgotha \u200b\u200band, with gentle humility, to the will of God, received a martyr's death. He left a legacy of the unclouded Monarchist Principle as a precious Pledge received by Him from his Royal ancestors.
