But that never happened, and it is now believed that Anastasia did die with the other members of her family, at the hands of the Bolsheviks.

How did the Romanovs change Russia?
The Romanovs, who ruled Russia from 1613 to 1917, significantly transformed the country through their centralization of power and efforts to modernize the economy and military.

The reign of Catherine the Great further promoted cultural development and territorial growth, but also highlighted social inequalities. Ultimately, their failure to address growing discontent and revolutionary sentiments contributed to the fall of the dynasty and the rise of Bolshevism.
