Romanovs: The Missing Bodies | National Geographic

It was a mystery that baffled historians for decades: what really became of the missing members of the Romanov royal family, long thought to have been murdered during the Russian revolution? In 2007, bone fragments were found in a shallow grave 70 meters away from the original 1979 discovery site. This intriguing documentary picked up the story as experts, including forensic anthropologist and 9/11 investigator Anthony Falsetti and Chief Scientist of the US Armed Forces DNA Laboratory Dr Michael Coble, tested and analyzed the bones in the hope that they could solve the Romanov riddle once and for all. Rumors long persisted that at least Grand Duchess Anastasia, the youngest daughter, had survived after the chaotic shootings, and several people claimed to be the lost Grand Duchess. Now, as proved in this documentary, with the use of modern technology and the 2007 discoveries, the truth behind this bloody chapter has finally been worked out.
This video was produced by National Geographic and was released in 2008. It is shared here on this channel in the framework of the publication of the book “The Romanov Royal Martyrs: What Silence Could Not Conceal”. Dr Michael Coble is among the Research Team that helped in the authoring of this book.
“The Romanov Royal Martyrs” is an impressive 512-page book, featuring nearly 200 black & white photographs, and a 56-page photo insert of more than 80 high-quality images, colourized by the acclaimed Russian artist Olga Shirnina (Klimbim), and appearing here in print for the first time.

I wonder why the US doesn't have being beheaded by a French specialist swordsman on their statute book. No, they only use out of date chemicals instead, due to no one will supply them with any, because no one has the death penalty anymore among developed nations, except for the retarded US, so people take hours to die in agony now instead. Seems no better than what's being levelled morally at the Bolsheviks, but the US are doing it now, so what's their excuse? The reason why the English did not use French swordsmen for beheading was that they were expensive, so an axeman was used in Tudor times, the way Boleyn was killed was exceptional. Everybody else killed with Boleyn, mostly for having sex with her as accused, was by the axe and the amount of chops was recorded, and they were all more than one chop, as was normal. Only Boleyn died from one chop. So I don't really know what point you're trying to make about execution. It was normal in Tudor times to use the axe, the amount of times was recorded, and on average it was 3 chops. That's the problem when you yanks quote history partially, someone like me comes along and just blows you out the water. That's why lying by omission is so weak. Try to think of a better anti Soviet propaganda point, that one just blew back on you with those barbaric lethal injection deaths you're doing right now, you hypocrites.

[@ssnarashi]

The irony is that Nicholas II had a quick death and Alexandra had followed quickly. It was the children who suffered the most. They were repeatedly shot and bayonetted but survived and ultimately shot in their heads. If its any consolation, at least the girls were not raped and then murdered.

Keep in mind that in Britain at that time a decision like this would ultimately be made by politicians. The King would not have been able to make this decision himself without the backing of his government. The politicians would listen to the King's wishes but would ultimately make the decision based on military and political grounds. Also, for the King, being host to a monarch deposed by his own people may have brought the whole notion of revolution a bit too close to home. At that time Britain was in the third year of a war with Germany that had cost millions of military and civilian lives and the focus in Britain was on winning that war and ending the carnage. The decision by the British government was likely based on the priority to defeat Germany and part of that was the hope to not cause any rift with the Russians by giving asylum to the Romanovs. The last thing the British wanted was for Russia to make peace with Germany, although that is exactly what happened. It is also far from certain that the Bolsheviks would have allowed the Romanovs to leave peacefully due to the risk that they would form the core of a counter-revolutionary movement, another consideration that the British government would want no part of. In the final analysis the Romanovs were the victims of international politics and military necessity as much as the Bolshevik revolutionaries. War in general and revolution in particular tend to be extremely brutal and the age and innocence of the victims aren't usually given much thought.

[@user-hg1cm9mn9q]

It is believed that the executors divided the remains to prevent future identification based on number of corpses. The white army was getting closer, so the bolsheviks knew they had to hide remains as much as possible. The first investigation took place not long after the murder, and investigator Sokolov concluded that everybody was killed. But he didn’t have enough time to find the graves. But if he had more time, he could have found the bigger grave and he would have been confused as the number of corpses wouldn’t match.

One of the most internationally successful forensic research stories in history !

[@winkieblink7625]

I feel this Romanov history piece was produced before 2010. In my research past 2010, by examining the bone fragments found in the shallow grave, (of which one was female,) the researchers could “age” the bones at their life’s end by bone characteristics and determined that the female bones found were of an older age female than a young teenager. They put the age range in Maria’s age group....being that the two oldest daughters would have more bone density to be fully formed than a younger adult as that of Maria. So it was the process of elimination: Anastasia too young for some of the bone growth, Olga and Tatiana too old, more mature bone growth, which left Maria as the most likely daughter with the right aged bone formation to be burned, chopped up and temporarily buried with her brother . These two children’s graves were not found until much later than 1991. Once the two children were identified, which took many years of research and political politeness between the US and Russia, those two children’s bones were ceremonious buried with the others in St Petersburg’s Russian Orthodox Cathedral and the whole family has been deemed Sainthood in the Russian Orthodox Church. They are together at last. The contemporary Russian citizens are very proud of the Romanov history and sad that the Romanov’s end was such a tragic mark on Russia’s history.

Aim: Noting major violations of standard forensic practices, factual inconsistencies, and molecular behaviours that invalidate the claimed identity, we attempted to replicate the findings of the original DNA study. Subject: We analysed mtDNA extracted from a sample of the relic of Grand Duchess Elisabeth, sister of Empress Alexandra. Results: Among clones of multiple PCR targets and products, we observed no complete mtDNA haplotype matching that reported for Alexandra. The consensus haplotype of Elisabeth differs from that reported for Alexandra at four sites. Conclusion: Considering molecular and forensic inconsistencies, the identity of the Ekaterinburg remains has not been established. Our mtDNA haplotype results for Elisabeth provide yet another line of conflicting evidence regarding the identity of the Ekaterinburg remains. [See footnotes below] Summary - and where I stand A brief anecdote. One day in 1977 I joined Manahan and some German prince for lunch at the Hardware Store, a Charlottesville restaurant. The royal was a Romanov here to visit with Anna. He was balding and I joked to Jack that his hairbrush would hold very few Romanov DNA souvenirs for Jack to collect. For Jack and for the royal there was nothing out of the ordinary in that remark. So here’s my summary. In science it’s usually safest to look for the simple answer. When money and royalty are involved, the simple answer is usually wrong. Beyond question, Anna Anderson believed she was the Grand Duchess Anastasia. Her bodily scars and damage were 100% consistent with Anastasia’s. She possessed information only Anastasia would have known. Until we discover she learned these things in some other way, I believe Anna Anderson was Anastasia and the crucial DNA sample was switched in transit. Witnesses said she survived the Romanov family massacre because the jewels sewn into her clothing acted as a bullet-proof vest. She and the jewels were smuggled out of Russia by Alexander Tchaikovsky, a conscripted soldier who was part of the unit assigned to dispose of the bodies. Eventually she surfaced in Berlin, mentally unstable. Her attempt for recognition by her relatives was thwarted by reports, some by her, of Romanov wealth secreted away by the Tsar for his children in an English bank. If Anna achieved recognition, the fortune would go to her and not to the relatives she needed for recognition. So they refused. By the time the great wealth was found to be not so great, sides had been taken, positions had been staked out, hearts broken could not be mended, and the past was doomed to be prologue. In the 1920s there was a much greater reason than money for one powerful, wealthy Romanov to deny recognition. The real Anastasia knew he had secretly been a traitor in 1916, and so did Anna Anderson. But that’s beyond the scope of this page. The Real Romanovs by Gleb Botkin is one book that relates the details. Late in life Anna married an American, Jack Manahan. When she died, Jack became her heir. Jack grew dotty in his dotage and before he died, he named as his heir a young woman believed, rightly or wrongly, to be a fortune hunter. She wasn’t, but she showed great tenacity in fighting off challenges to Jack’s will. By winning it all she came into enough wealth (millions) to pursue Romanov claims around the world for the rest of her life, should Anna Anderson be proven to be the genuine article. And this heir is a lawyer. This echoed the situation of the 1920s when the son fathered by Alexander Tchaikovsky was considered a loose cannon heir who could deprive relatives of the Tsar and Tsarina of rank and inheritance. All over again in the 1990s disproving Anna’s claim became a burning issue among Romanovs. This new heir’s ability to pursue Anna’s claims rested - not on Romanov family acceptance - but merely on Anna passing a DNA test. If Anna passed, suits to recover past dispersals could begin, and the entire Romanov family would be insecure in their possessions. The intestine tissue sample went from Martha Jefferson Hospital in Charlottesville, Virginia, to the UK by mail, and passed through many hands including customs before it reached the lab. Some of the most well-entrenched, influential, and resourceful people in Europe, including English royalty, had a huge interest in that package. Because it went by mail, no one can say with certainty that the piece of intestine that began the trip is the same piece of intestine that was delivered. All we know is that powerful people desperately needed the DNA test to fail. To the relief of Romanovs everywhere, that tissue sample failed the Romanov DNA test. It matched, they said, the DNA of Franziska Schwanzkowska, an unschooled, certified insane Polish factory worker with no Romanov connections and no access to the inside information everyone agrees Anna Anderson knew. That they happened to have Franziska’s family DNA available for comparison is another tie to the Romanov machinations of the 1920s, and the latest link in the long chain of plausible denial.

[@nothinghere2805]

@@omgitsjoetime Sometimes Bolshevik propaganda can be just as deceiving: One of the central themes of the conference was the enormous charitable activities carried out by the Imperial family. According to historians, the Bolsheviks did much to shape a negative image of the Imperial family. They created myths that Nicholas II spent enormous funds for his own needs, although in fact he and his family lived quite modestly. In addition, each member of the Imperial family had their own personal “charity programs,” making sizable donations from their own pockets, for the maintenance of hospitals, educational institutions, and other charitable organizations. Nicholas II had enormous funds at his disposal, however, an annual budget of the Imperial Court was strictly adhered to, which included the personal expenses of the family. There were strict calculations, in which even the purchase of new clothes was regulated, says historian Professor Igor Zimin, one of Russia’s foremost experts and author of numerous books on the last tsar and his family. The Russian State Historical Archive has in its collection, an accounting book of Nicholas II. In fact, the ‘Emperor’s Personal Wallet’, record donations he made to a number of charities. These include expenses on pensions, the maintenance of boarders and the upbringing of children, donations, allowances, gifts and cash awards. Plus extraordinary expenses that went in favor of educational or charitable institutions, including churches. The accounting book records various sums of donations - 16,400 rubles, 44 thousand rubles, 11 thousand, 500 rubles, etc. The sovereign received a large amount of correspondence with requests to help or participate in charity events. It is recorded that in 1898, Nicholas II gave 5 thousand rubles for the completion of an Orthodox church in a remote region of Russia. And to help someone’s widow he gave out 350 rubles annually from his own funds. The first St. Petersburg State Medical University emerged largely due to the participation of the emperor. Often the sovereign acted anonymously. In 1901 he ordered the transfer of 50 rubles to the editorial office of a magazine for Russian disabled persons - as an anonymous donation. According to Professor Zimin, all members of the Imperial family considered it their direct duty to help and give to those less fortunate. The expenses of the Romanovs grew precisely because donations increased every year. The Emperor’s wife, Alexandra Feodorovna, initiated the annual Christmas trees for children from poor families. She contributed to the founding of numerous educational institutions, shelters, and hospitals. She worked as a Red Cross Nurse when the war between Germany and Russia began in 1914. It is impossible to imagine the spouse of a member of the Politburo working as a nurse in a soldiers’ hospital during Soviet times. During the war, her children asked that in lieu of gifts, that the money be given to help orphans and soldiers. “Once the sovereign with his family stopped at one of the railway stations. A local official turned to him telling the tsar that his small salary was not enough for his large family. Nicholas II promised that he would receive 30 rubles a month, and his son and heir Tsesarevich Alexei said that he would add another 40 rubles a month,” notes Chief Specialist of the State Archive of the Russian Federation Vladimir Khrustalev. “The Grand Duchesses Olga and Tatiana headed committees which provided direct assistance to those who suffered in hostilities as well as their families,” says the head of the history department of Kaliningrad State Technical University, Professor Alexei Khitrov. Their respective committees created more than a dozen forms of assistance and 30 projects to collect donations. All those in need received money, clothes, and work. They had the support of local governors, representatives of the diocese, zemstvo, city public administration, leaders of the nobility, and representatives of charitable organizations. In cooperation with the central government and the patronage of the Imperial Court, this created a system of democratic centralism, working effectively through the years of the First World War. In 1914, thousands of refugees from the Polish and Baltic provinces flooded into Russia. But thanks to the work of the committees, they were all fed, clothed and sheltered. The Olginsky and Tatiana Committees distributed 68 million rubles in aid. There were no allegations of corruption, dishonesty, or wasting money. By the beginning of 1917, the committees set up work on registering and assisting refugees. The Olginsky and Tatiana committees were recognized as the most viable of all the institutions of that time. They worked effectively until the spring of 1918, after the Russian Empire crumbled under the Bolshevik order.

Our book brings to light a multitude of unknown and unrevealed facts, which evince that many truths remain silenced or distorted to this day. Such are: • The achievements and great reforms of Tsar Nicholas' reign. • The events of the 1905 revolution and Bloody Sunday. • Russia’s and Tsar Nicholas’ involvement in WW1. • The plots and conspiracies to overthrow Tsar Nicholas from his throne. • The myth of the “Bread Revolution” and the truth about the February 1917 coup.

The Romanov Royal Martyrs Have you watched the Netflix series about “the last czar” Because I’m sorry to say Nicholas the II was very incompetent more then we learn in school as a czar definitely did not deserve to be killed the way he was nor especially his children. But that still does not disqualify the fact of a lot of the miss deeds he did. He ignored his Prime Minister of the warnings of Rasputin. He had many opportunities to limit his power but he chose not to and only started giving away some of his power when he realized the government was in shambles. Don’t give me wrong what Lenin did was far worst. But that still doesn’t excuse the actions of what the czar did throughout his reign. He starved his people gave them terrible working conditions for industrial jobs.

[@RomanovRoyalMartyrs]

@@TheSSUltimateGoku yes, we have watched the series on Netflix, but you have to understand that this is exactly that: what Hollywood and Netflix culture and all the fiction books of the kind present as “history” only to fit their own agenda. That series can really give a heart attack to a serious historian due to its endless inconsistencies, lies, and biased content. It is not loosely based on true events, it almost has nothing in relation to true events! We have replied to you elsewhere that we have recently published a book on the subject, offering for the very first time in the English language an abundance of previously unpublished materials, derived straight from archival and primary sources. You will be surprised by it! Every single one of our readers, even those who had a very different opinion, wrote back to us and expressed their gratitude for what the book has given them. We can only hope that you will eventually read the book and see for yourself, like so many others. For now, our very best wishes to you! Keep in touch!

In 1991 the DNA of the Duke of Edinburgh was used by Russia to establish whether the remains of bodies were those of the Romanovs. They identifies Nicholas, Alexandra, Olga, Tatiana, and Anastasia.

I think it is always best to "study" and do "research" rather than romanticize about something/someone we know nothing about. We did not know the family personally. The Tzar was known as "Bloody Nick" for a reason. Britain could have saved them but King George V feared for his position. So, as often is the case, it had to do with politics. Also, the Romanovs were not popular among their relatives. Other countries could have saved them, too, but they were allies of Russia. It is not much different from today. Your own country will betray you if they could lose out on oil or weapons or something. The children were all innocent but their blood is on, just about, everyone's hands. As for the parents, all you see us them parading in pretty outfits and looking grand. Their character, behaviour, and choices contributed to their downfall. But, in a civilized society, they would not have been murdered. They did not deserve it. Nobody does.

The fact that Nicholas II was tagged as "Bloody" and all the fact that there was a lot of literature at the time against him and his family was simply the result of well-organized propaganda, rooted in many many years before, which wanted to overthrow the monarchy. All original sources (in Russian), which are now available to anyone who wants to research and not merely repeat what the West (for its own purposes) promotes, will see that Nicholas II was a very competent ruler, who worked hard for his people and his country, to the point that William Taft, president of the United States, said in 1913, “the Russian Emperor has enacted labor legislation which not a single democratic state could boast of.” His relatives were jealous of him and that's why they did not want to save him.
