The Romanovs

That was & is the name of three Russian prince's. They lived from 1902-1978, 1938-1999, & one is still alive who was born in 1985.

There were several but her French instructor was Pierre Gilliard ( not Galliard who was a Panama Canal engineer!) M Gilliard, the court interpreter and French instructor, well probably knew Anastasia better than anybody outside the Imperial Family who did survive the upheavals of the Revolution, massacres, etc. Somewhat oddly, he took ( Action evasive) at the various inquests and trials that aimed at establishing whether Stacy was for real or an imposter. Byt he way, he was a Swiss, not Parisien national.

The two most important where the revolution in 1907 after the Russian Japanese war and the revolution of 1917 which finally brought down the dynasty

Grand Duchess Anastasia was murdered with her family in her own house.

Seeking Anastasia is a romantic notion that takes some of the harshness from the reality of the true story. For the better part of the twentieth century following the Russian Revolution, life in Russia, the Soviet Union and the better part of Europe between WWI and WWII and immediately following were difficult and uncertain socially and economically. Until the use of DNA for positive identification came into use, there was no real harm in the fantasy that Anastasia be could found alive.

On July 17, 1918, the Romanovs were lead to the basement of the Ipatiev House, a mansion in Ekaterinburg, Russia where they were held as prisoners. Bolshevik soldiers under the command of Yakov Yurovsky, were their prison guards. The Bolsheviks worked for the new Communist government that had been established after Nicholas was forced into advocating the throne. They were lead downstairs under the notion that fighting had broken out in the city and they were being taken to the basement to wait for a truck to take them to safety. The family was told to pose for a picture before they left and Yurovsky, a photographer before joining the Bolshevik army, moved them into place. Forty minutes later, a truck could be heard outside, but it wasn't meant to take them to safety, but rather to carry away their dead bodies. Yurovsky read aloud the death sentence, and fired point blank into the Tsar's chest three times. The rest of the firing was random and sloppily done. Slowly, the prisoners began to die, however, the four daughters were proving hard to kill. It turned out that they had sewn the family jewels into their blouses and they acted as bullet proof vests. The girls were eventually stabbed to death or struck in the heads. However, it was believed that one of them only pretended to be dead. The youngest daughter, Anastasia. She managed to escape through the assistance of a friendly guard, possibly Anatoly Yakimov. You won't find a lot about him, but he seems to be possibly the only guard that did not hate the Romanovs. However, that is only a hunch. All that is known is that she supposedly escaped through the help of a sympathetic guard. She made her way to Germany and undertook the name Anna Anderson. She was eventually put in a mental hospital after trying to kill herself, and later came out to the press that she was Anastasia Romanov. There was a lot of conflict over who she really was. Some said she was the real deal, others called her an imposter. Her story became the basis of many books and movies, and shined a lot of light on the Romanov family. When the bodies of the family were found after the fall of the Soviet Union, Anastasia's body was nowhere to be found, and the world turned to Anna Anderson's story once again. Sadly, this story is a fake. The real Anastasia died alongside her family. Her body was found a few years later and was eventually laid to rest alongside the rest of her family and declared a Saint in the Russian Orthodox Church. Her body is laid to rest at the Church of All Saints, built on the site where the Ipatiev House used to stand.

Russia

The first great Romanov ruler is often considered to be Peter the Great, who reigned from 1682 to 1725. He is known for his extensive reforms that modernized Russia, transforming it into a major European power. Peter focused on westernization, military expansion, and the development of industry and infrastructure, leaving a lasting impact on Russian society and governance. His efforts laid the foundation for the Russian Empire's growth in the 18th century.

July 16-17, 1918

There was never any evidence that she herself gave or used that could have proven that she was Anastasia. All she had was the story that she told about how the night the royal family was killed a man resued her, brought her to Bucharest raped her got her pregnant and then was killed. She claimed she went to Berlin to tell her family she was alive, but suposedly got nervous and decided to end her life instead. The story however was not true.

Probably about 5'5 or 5'6 they say his tall for his age

110 years old. She was born in 1901.

The Ruling House of Russia. Actually calling Anastasia ( Anastasia Romanov) when the Czarist government was intact- would be as bad form as referring to Queen Elizabeth II as , say Betty Windsor! it just wasn"t done- properly, she was Her Highness, ( technically Grace under l8)- Anastasia Nicolaievna ( daughter of Nicolai) (Romanov is understood with the Royal prefixes),.

Tsar Alexander the third's wife, Tsar Nicholas' mother.

Great question! I assume that you got that question from the Sonlight school curriculum. Here is the exact answer: 304 years

Nicholas beleived that just because he was tsar did not mean that he had to live a good life while his peasents starved, but not many people during his time knew that, and that is why they were massacred.

Alexei Romanov was murdered along with the rest of his family, doctor and servants. The report of the killing by Yakov Yurovsky , who was in command of the detail that kept the Romano vs in custody has been found and it clearly states that all, even young Alexei, of the Romanovs were shot and buried. In addition, there is an eyewitness report by one of the guards, Pavel Medvedev, confirming that Alexei was killed.

After several months in custody of the Bolsheviks, Alexei was suffering badly and in great pain because of his hemophilia. He could not walk on his own at the time.He likely would have died soon anyway. The only way he could have survived is if the Bolsheviks, who murdered every other member of his family, actively cared for him to keep him alive. Now why would they do that?

The most compelling reason to disbelieve any story that he survived is to realize that the murder of Alexei was the second most important murder of all of the Romanovs, even that of Alexandra. Once Nicholas II was dead, Alexei had the right to succeed to the throne. The only way to ensure that no Romanov ever again became Tsar was to kill the entire family, but Nicholas and the Tsarevich had to go first before the women. There was no way the Bolsheviks would have allowed Alexei to live.

The House of Rurikovich

Anastasia Romanov was killed purely because she was a Romanov. When the Bolsheviks eventually came to power after Tsar Nicholas abdicated, Lenin ordered that Nick and his family were to be killed to end the Romanov dynasty and family line.

Because they wanted to kill off the whole Romanov family so they're would never be another Tsar to rule Russia.
