What happened to the Romanovs?
The Romanovs were one of the biggest monarchy houses of Russian and World History, they ruled Russia for over a thousand years and their name was a sign of power and wealth.
During the Russian Revolution of 1917 the power of the Zar Nicholas II was overthrown as a consequence; he, his entire family and four of their most loyal servants were arrested in the Ipatiev House until the day of their execution.
They all lived isolated without having contact with anyone in the exterior; no one knew where they were and there were many theories around the whole country ensuring that the Zar Nicholas was dead and that his family was about to suffer the same destiny as him.
The family was composed of the Zar Nicholas II, his wife Alexandra, his four daughters, Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia and finally his only male heir Alexei who suffered from hemophilia.
While the family was still under arrest the person who guarded them changed and Yakov Yurovsky became the leader. The family’s life under Yurovsky’s rule was even more aggressive and enduring than the rest of their arrest, this was a consequence of all of the rumors that were going around saying that the “White Army” an anti Bolshevik group was approaching Yekaterinburg, who indeed took over Yekaterinburg only 5 days after the assassination of the Romanov family.
The night of the 16/17 of July of 1918, the Bolshevik’s guard that were over looking the Romanov family called them down to the cellar of the house, they were all seated and later on announced that they were sentenced to death, this was the sign to start the shoot, each guard was assigned one member of the family, the Zar and his wife were the first ones to die, afterwards the daughters were shoot but they had sewed they jewelry to their corsets and that acted as a bullet proof vest, and finally the youngest son was also killed.
This night caused a lot of controversy for great part of the modern world, many
