Anastasia Romanov, the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II, was rumored to have escaped the assassination of her family in 1918, though there is no definitive evidence to support this claim. After the Bolsheviks executed the Romanov family, various individuals claimed to be Anastasia, leading to speculation about her survival. The most famous of these claimants was Anna Anderson, who spent decades maintaining that she was the lost princess. In 2007, DNA testing confirmed that the remains of the Romanov family, including Anastasia, had been found, effectively debunking the escape theory.
If true her escape alone is quite a survival adventure, what?
Despite rumors of her escape and the claim of Anna Anderson that she was the Grand Duchess, DNA evidence has positively identified Grand Duchess Anastasia's remains. In 1984, DNA testing of Anderson's hair and tissue proved she was not related to the imperial family.

Quite recently, DNA testing confirmed that Anastasia Romanov was killed with the rest of her family. There were bones (or bone fragments) found from each family member of the Romanovs.
Albert "Mad Hatter" Anastasia was murdered by gunmen associated with the Gambino crime family on October 25, 1957. His killing was orchestrated as part of a power struggle within organized crime, particularly due to his increasing influence and control in the Mafia. Anastasia's assassination took place in a barbershop in Manhattan, marking the end of his notorious reign in the criminal underworld.
There really is no book on Anastasia but the differences between the movie and the true story of Anastasia Romanov is that her family wasn't killed when she was 8 years old, she was 17 when she and her family were exicuted in the "House of Special Purpose's" basement. But her Grandmother did escape the tragidy and live in Paris until she moved to Canada a few years later.
Anastasia
Her Imperial Highness, the Saint Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova died at about 2 am on July 17th, 1918 in a planned assassination by the Bolshevik soldiers at the Ipatieve House in Yekaterinburg, Russia.
Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaievna Romanova, the fourth of five children and the fourth daughter of Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra was long thought to have survived the assassination of her family in Yekaterinburg in 1918. It is a great story, and the book "Anastasia" by Peter Kurth makes interesting reading and will have you believing that it was possible, or even likely, that she did survive. The credibility is further enhanced by interviews and statements from the surviving Russian nobility living in exile. The possibility that Anastasia survived has now been fairly convincingly disproven using DNA testing, which has accounted for all members of the family.
Anastasia Sakelaris's birth name is Anastasia Nicole Sakelaris.
