The Romanov killers were always known to the authorities, because it was the authorities themselves (Lenin and the Bolsheviks) who ordered and carried out the killings.

Yakov Yurovsky was the Commandant of the House of Special Purpose, the new designation of the Ipatiev House in Ekaterinburg where the Romanov family was being held under Bolshevik guard. The soldiers assigned to the guard duty obviously were known.

Yurovsky chose the men to commit the murders, assigning each man a particular family member or servant a target. In addition to the guards, two members of the local soviet were also present. Yurovsky made reports to his superiors. All were known.

Pavel Medvedev, one of the soldiers assigned to guard the Romanovs that night gave a first hand account of what happened.

In fact, after doing this heinous crime and regicide, Yurovsky was appointed in-charge of a treasury and gold-mint. He lived long and died in 1938.
