Is a Romanov eagle a skinhead tattoo?

Anastasia Romanov was the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicolas II and Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna. She was born June 18 1901 and died July 17, 1918.
It was long believed that she survived, but it is not true. The most famous impostor (there were several) of Anastasia was Anna Anderson, but her DNA was tested several times and does not match the Grand Duchess DNA.
If you want to improve this answer feel free to do so, but PLEASE write facts and not something you have seen in a Disney movie or read in an unreliable source. When people ask questions they deserve to be told the truth.
_______________________________________________
If Anna Anderson was Anastasia, the government or the " high people " of Russia would not want the people to know. Otherwise, they might have been a civil war to fight for Anna Anderson's rights. And, of course, the government would not want a civil war!
Believe what you want to believe, but think about what I typed above.
When did the Bolshevik Revolution over-throw the Russian Romanov Dynasty?
The Bolshevik Revolution did not overthrow the Russian Romanov dynasty. The Bolshevik Revolution occurred on October 25, 1917 (old style calendar) and overthrew the Provisional Government. The Romanov dynasty was overthrown in the February 1917 Revolution. So, the Romanov dynasty was already history when the Bolshevik Revolution took place.
What happened to tsar in World War 1?
During World War I, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia faced significant military defeats and widespread social unrest due to the war's toll on the economy and the populace. In 1917, these pressures culminated in the February Revolution, which forced him to abdicate the throne. He and his family were placed under house arrest and later executed by Bolsheviks in July 1918, marking the end of the Romanov dynasty and the Russian Empire.
Were the murderers of the Romanov family ever caught or punished?
The murderers were never caught or punished by the government for one simple reason: They WERE the government. After the Provisional Government fell in November, 1917, the Bolsheviks took the Tsar and his family to Ekaterinberg. The Russian Civil War had begun and a Czechoslavak contingent of the White Russian Army was nearby and could have rescued the family. In the evening of July 16, 1918, members of the Extraordinary Commission of the Ekaterinburg Soviet (the Bolshevik governing body in that city) appeared at the Impatiev house with orders that the family be shot lest they be rescued. Commander Yurovsky of the Red Army was in charge of the force that held the royal family. At about midnight he ordered the royal family awakened and at about 1 a. m. the Tsar, his wife, their four daughters, their son, together with the family's doctor, maid and two waiters were brought to a room. Yurovsky, the members of the Commission and several soldiers entered the room and shot them all dead. The government murdered the Romanovs.
The Romanovs ruled Russia from 1613-1917 when they were ousted by the broadly based revolution in March of that year.
Was Anastasia the duchess of Russia found alive?
Her body was never recovered among all of the Human Wreckage of the revolution and the Massacre site- the Ipatieff house- or as it is better known-the Basement of Blood. There were all kinds of rumors. By the way she was a Grand Duchess, equivalent to a Crown Princess in Western Europe- The proper title was Czarevna- daughter of the Czar- actually in Russia a Grand Duchess ( female member of the immediate family of the Romanovs- including Nicholas" sister Betty- who was murdered in the Revoluton and her body tossed down a garbage chute ( Yes) by berserk Reds- was classed as a Grand Duchess, but not a Czarevna- roughly- Czarevna- Crown Princess, Czarina-0 Empress or Queen, like Alexandra and the Empress Marie, who fled Russia before things got out of control- and she went to Denmark ( where she lived until her death in l928) not Paris as the movie gets it wrong. Paris had a Russian emigre and DP population to be sure, but Stacy did not hang around there.

How do you make an Anastasia Romanov costume?
Rent an Empire Gown from a fancy Dress shop. now to stop at the used clothes or war-surplus shop- for a ( class B-clandestine) Trench Coat ( Russians wore Grey in World war I for camouflage reasons, Black for the NKVD.) and do get a nice Russian hat. Jackboots are apt apparel for weather-adapted Russians of all stripes. Okay you have the Dress, the Trench Coat, Russian hat, and boots, jewelry- well you are on your own.Red and gold trim on the epaulets of the trench coat would be a neat, Imperial Russian Armed forces touch. ( in the field or in spy operations, these were naturally taken off- just the black or grey shoulder straps.) Some good ideas Comrade- also gloves and maybe a Muff ( for the hands) would make a Russki Touch. Nastrobia!
Did Anastasia Romanov really escape?
No, in 2007 remains of the two missing bodies were found. The body of Alexei was found, as was a body of his sister. Whether or not that was Anastasia or Marie (as Russians say), is still not confirmed. However, a 3-D imaging scanned the skulls of the female body and say that the body was in fact of Marie.

The execution of the Romanov family was ordered by the leader of the Bolshevik revolution, V.I. Lenin.

After words, The Russians had a revolution and toke off power the Romanov dinasty and gave it to Lenin and his blosheviks. The family was send to the Ipative house under house arrest till they were killed after being read a letter directly from the bolshevik head quaters.
Was Nicholas II a good leader?
Sadly, yes. When Nicholas was born, his father was unhappy with such a weak heir. He hardly prepared the young Tsarevich, so that when Nicholas took the throne shortly after his father's death and his marriage to Alexandra Feodorovna, he had very little experience. Nicholas was now the ruler of the largest country in the world, but had only ever attended maybe two or three political confrences. Furthermore, The Tsar hated regulations and rules, and found himself bored by the meetings and dispised being contained behind the palace walls. Nicholas was a fiery blooded man, who loved to fight, and took every chance he could get to get outside and lead his army in person for the sheer thrill. As for his treatment of Russia itself, he and his wife were both stubborn and very set in their old ways, fearful of change. They raised their children outside of the public's eye, and his wife in general rarely went out in public. Many didn't even know her name or what she looked like. Fearful that change would result in losing power, Nicholas fought tooth and nail to adhere to the old ways, never wanting to progress. During his reign, the treatment of the serfs (peasants) was at it's worst, and he was very anti-semetic. A number of pograms ravaged Russia, terrifying Russian Jews. Even as they begged for more liberties, he denied them. The Great War (Now refered to as World War I) had a lot to do with it as well. Tsar Nicholas made the foolish mistake to leave for the warfront, and left the entire empire to his reclusive wife, who often had the mischevious Grigori Rasputin whispering in her ear, whom she trusted with absolute loyalty. On her own, Alexandra was completely incompitent at rule, and Rasputin began giving her advice on running the country. This closeness to the empress made many people disgusted with Rasputin, and many rumors began to spread that Alexandra was having an affair with him. To make matters worse, the war led to food shortages, and ultimately, famine. Constant military defeats shamed the proud Russian people. Then, Vladimir Lenin stepped forward and offered a radical change and the people began to call for the fall of the Tsar. The family was put under house arrestbefore being banished to Siberia, and ultimately shot in the basement of the Ipatiev House in Yekaterinburg.
What really happend to Anastasia did she live or did she die?
Anastasia and her family were lead downstairs, lined up and shot by a drunken firing squad. She was shot multiple times in the chest, but survived due to having sewn jewels into her blouse. She was then struck in the head and shot just above her right temple, most likely bleeding to death. However her remains give no indication as to how she really died.
Is there any romanov family line left?
There are no descendants of Nicholas II but there are descendants of Romanov's still alive today. Because of intermarrying there are still Romanov descendants in America, and also descendants in England, and the deposed heads of Romania and Greece are descendants of female Romanovs
What English Monarch gave up the throne in the 1900s?

Each member of the execution squad was given the names of te person they were to kill to make things go a bit quicker, but in the heat of te moment most shot at the former tsar.

Olga, Tatiana and Alexei were shot(so were the tsar ad tsarina), Nicholas in the heart but the rest of them in the head. Maria and Anastasia were finished of by bayonets

Further information:
Tsar Nicholas II, or Nikolai Romanov, was ill-prepared to receive the crown when his father died in 1894. His inability to rule effectively was compounded by a number of difficult events during his reign.
The failure of the Russo-Japanese War led to the Russian Revolution of 1905, which Nicholas diffused only after signing a manifesto promising representative government and basic civil liberties in Russia. However, he recanted on a number of his promises, allowing the Bolsheviks and other revolutionary groups to gain wide support. When World War I broke out in 1914, Russia immediately attacked the German province of East Prussia even though it was unprepared. The Germans mobilised their armies efficiently and completely defeated the two invading Russian armies.
The cumulative effect of these events was that Russia suffered severe food shortages, soldiers became war-weary, and morale was at an all-time low. On 15 March 1917, Nicholas was forced to abdicate amidst civil war. A year later, on 17 July 1918, he and his wife, together with their five children, the family doctor and three attendants, were taken to the cellar of a house in Yekatarinburg, where they were executed by a firing squad.

there are many view points that say differently for more information readhistory in focus, second edition! have fun in history! ♥
Tsar Nicholas II, of the Romanov imperial line, was the catalyst for the Russian revolution.
Is Queen Elizabeth related to the romanovs?
yes she would be the royal families of Europe are all interelated in some way. In the days of the Romanovs and Queen Victoria the royals all wanted to keep royalty in their blood so a Russian Prince would marry an English princess for example. So yes sh would be but it may be VERY distant.
Improvement:
She is not a descendant of the Romanovs she an ancestor of the Romanovs. Victoria died in 1901 at the age of 81. The Romanov's died in 1918. The Tsarina Alexandra was Victoria's grand daughter through her daughter Alice the Grand Duchess of Hesse.
Queen Victoria is known as the Grandmother of Europe because her 9 children married into the Royal houses of Europe.
If you mean is Queen ELIZABETH a descendant of the Romanovs? No, not directly, but her husband is. He was Philip Prince of Greece and Denmark( he renounced those titles to marry Queen Elizabeth) and he is related to Alice of Hesse. Queen Elizabeth is in a round about way as she is a descendant of Victoria, but Prince Philip is directly related to the Romanovs through his mother. That is how Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip are related through children of Queen Victoria.
What year was the Romanov family imprisoned in the Urals?
The Romanovs were in protective custody of the Privisional Government and then under arrest by the Bolsheviks. They had been moved around several times to different places by both governments. While in custody of the Bolsheviks, they were moved to the Ipatiev House in Ekaterinberg (city of Catherine) which is in Siberia, not in the Ural mountains. This is where they were murdered in July 1918.
