Why was Mikhail Romanov elected in 1613?
In short, Mikhail Romanov was elected due to the lack of a better alternative candidate. The Russian people had undergone the Time of Troubles and the Polish occupation of Moscow. The Swedes made a deal with the Russians that if they liberated Moscow from the Poles, the young Swedish Prince Karl Philipp would be elected Tsar, thus fulfilling Swedish expansionist dreams, and the Russian desire for stability. However, while Prince Karl Philipp enjoyed popular support from the Boyars, his failure to move to Moscow and remove the Poles as quickly as possible dented his bid in two ways; firstly it meant that the Swedes had not kept up their side of the bargain; secondly it allowed the unruly Cossacks to liberate Moscow instead, which granted them influence in the decision of who to elect Tsar. The Cossacks favoured a Tsar who was Russian and relatively weak enough to allow them to continue their unrult lifestyle; Michael/Mikhail Romanov was one of their several choices. In Michael's favour, he was a member of the noblest of Russian families at the time; the Romanovs. Also he could trace his ancestry (however tenuosly) back to Ivan the Terrible, the last of the Riurikid dynasty. Finally, his grandfather, Fedor Romanov had bequested (on his deathbed) the fate of the Russian Tsardom to Filaret Romanov and his descendants; Michael was the son of Filaret and this was arguably the decisive factor that persuaded the Boyars to concede the throne to Michael. Conclusion: of all the contenders, only Prince Karl Philipp posed a real opposition to Michael Romanov. Support for King Wladyslaw of Poland dwindled soon after he selfishly replaced his son's application with his own and proceeded to occupy Moscow. Michael Romanov was calm, judicious, pious and best of all Russian; by electing him, the National Assembly (Zemsty Sobor) would ensure the Russian way of life, it's orthodox religion and it's boundaries would not be compromised. The Cossacks were the decisive factor that forced the Boyars to accept that Michael was the best person for the job.
What is the myth behind Anastasia Romanov?
The Romanovs were executed in 1917, including Anastasia Romanov. But, during the course of the 20th century several women have turned up and claimed to be Anastasia Romanov, saying she had escaped the execution and was still alive. Since the discovery of the bodies of the Romanovs, the myth that Anastasia may have survived has only grown, as two bodies were missing (though no one knows which two kidd' bodies were missing) and some people see this as proof that Anastasia Romanov is still alive. That is the myth behind Anastasia Romanov.
Where did Anastasia romanov disappear to?
Many people believed it was Anne Anderson, but after she died scientists came to the conclusion that Anne Anderson was a fake. Nobody has really found Anastasia Romanov. Theres a book written caled Dreaming Anastasia. It's really good, and about what might have happened to Anastasia. I recomend reading it. In the book she was taken away by Baba Yaga to keep safe. Baba Yaga is a which in a Russian fairy tale. It's just a book, and of course that is not what really happened, but it is intresting and something to think about. I recomend reading the book. It about Russian history, but it's a fantasy book. I didn't even know it was based on a real envent until i googled it. Its well written.

Yes he did. Nicholas II had a son Alexi that had hemophilia. Rasputin helped calm Alexi down during his attacks but the royal family did not want to tell people that the heir to the throne was sick. This aided to the distrust that the people had against Rasputin already and helped with the overthrow of the Romanov dynasty

How was tsar nicholas II killed?
During the Russian Revolution of 1917, the soviets rioted because of food shortage, economic hardship, war difficulties, poverty, crime. The women began the riot as the men workers joined them because mainly of food shortage. But the situation changed from food shortage to the removal of Nicholas II. He received a lot of telegraphs saying to 'Abdicate' and so he had no choice but to abdicate, however the Bolsheviks (Their leader Lenin) wanted to end the Romanov Dynasty. So they killed their whole family so they will not build up and try to rebuild the Romanov dynasty. The Romanov dynasty lasted for more than 300 years ( Each tsar made their son as a tsar after their deaths) :)
