There was never any evidence that she herself gave or used that could have proven that she was Anastasia.

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.
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),.

Why did the romanovs live simply?
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.
What happened to Alexei Romanov?
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.
Why did Anastasia romanov get killed?
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.
Why did the Bolsheviks want the romanov family dead?
Because they wanted to kill off the whole Romanov family so they're would never be another Tsar to rule Russia.
Assuming the plot line in the l997 Fox cartoon to be accurate, if Anastasia survived the revolution, thanks largely to Special Agent Dimitri (IKGB) and then fell in love with him-naturally, if they were married- and her title was taken into account- as either Czarina In Exile of Grand Duchess (Princess) almost certainy he would be made a Prince Consort- like Albert of Victorian fame, or closer in time Prince Philip. Being born a commoner- Special Agent Dimitri could not become Czar, but could be boomed up through both the IKGB ranks(which he was, raised to the rank of Major/Inspector- as he was presented the Field Grade badge which was limited to officers of that rank-and above- and would be a prince- not bad for a former IKGB man on Commisary duty one Summer Night-when things got out of hand!
Who ordered the murder of Tsar Nicholas II?
Vladimir IIyich Lenin ordered the murder of the Tsar Nicholas II from Moscow
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.

It is pretty much universally accepted now that Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov died together with the rest of her family on July 17, 1918 when they were executed by the Bolsheviks.
Numerous pretenders to the Romanov fortune came forward, but all have been shown to be fakes (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anastasia_Romanov#False_reports_of_survival_and_identification_of_Romanov_remains) and DNA evidence has now confirmed that Anastasia died and was buried with her family.
