Completely unnecessary to execute the Romanov family. Sad that the innocent children had to die they had their entire lives ahead of them. Really hope the Russian people demand the reinstatement of the monarchy in the future. And put a descendant on the throne again.
In March 2009 the final results of the DNA testing were published by Dr. Michael Coble of the US Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory, proving conclusively that the remains of all four Grand Duchesses have now been accounted for, and no one escaped.
From Wikipedia - Her ( Anastasia) possible survival has been entirely disproven. In January 2008, Russian scientists announced that the charred remains of a young boy and a young woman found near Ekaterinburg in August 2007 were most likely those of the thirteen-year-old Tsarevich and one of the four Romanov grand duchesses. Russian forensic scientists confirmed on April 30, 2008, that the remains were those of the Tsarevich Alexei and one of his four sisters.
I tend to believe they lied about the DNA evidence to keep the wealth in the hands of the English royal family and the Illuminati.It seems to be the place where the worlds wealth tends to end up!
Unfortunately I don't think either youngest child survived that brutal massacre.....I DO think the little kids MIGHT have been buried separately but ONLY because they would have incriminated any brute force in the army or even killers within the family....
Sorry, folks, but that family was massacred without fail points and with no tears shed. In my opinion it was regardless of burial points or even attention to kill points.
@AWickedMind . . You are not reading the story right. I have read many biographies of the Romanov dynasty. Anastasia would had been happy to be alive and continue her father's legacy, then to be dead. She would not had been persecuted, raped, or starved. She could have run away to England and lived with her cousins, the Queen and King. The Russian people, after killing them, many felt remorse and regretted what they did. They would have been happy to see that one of the Romonov family survied.
It is almost impossible for Alexei to have survived since he had hemophilia, a slight cut was a causality for him so imagine what multiple bullet shots were like, as for Anastasia it is a mystery. I cannot dispute or support Anderson, maybe they lied about the DNA...how could she answer personal family questions correctly? have the same ear shape and handwriting as Anastasia ? That palace was massive She probably hadn't been in all the rooms anyway .
@HHHPPP8 Yeah I did some research on her, she was a fake taught very well by someone who knew the Romanovs well, the handwriting still freaks me out though.....but I believe Anastasia died with her family, i prefer it that way she would have suffered tremendously if she had escaped as a royal who hardly left the palace she wouldn't know where to start or who to trust, she would have starved, got raped and be deeply traumatized by seeing all her family brutally killed.
@TheQueenl92 That's because she was Anastasia. How else would she know questions only the real Anastasia would know? Plus the identical handwriting, many she could fordge a sentence and her signature but she wrote a whole paragraph which would be almost impossible to fordge. Plus the identical ears. Even identical twins have slightly different ears but Anastasia and Anna had no differences in their ears. They must've lied about the DNA results and she really was Anastasia.
@TheQueenl92 What are you talking about? I've seen videos of her in her old age speaking english. Maybe the Russian language reminded her too much of her family who she would never see again. We all have reasons for why we don't do things and they're personal. Maybe that was her reason.
@AzulaLover1 Well all I ever heard was thatshe didn't speak English or Russian but if she did then that makes Anastasia's case mysterious, but what do you think about the DNA and how it didn't match Prince Charles DNA?
@TheQueenl92 She was criemated so who knows how freash that DNA they used was. Plus they could just be lying and hiding the truth for whatever reason. The government has been known to hide the truth about the Romanov's before.
@AzulaLover1 My high school librarian met her and believed it to be her. The DNA purported to be her- the Pole woman's brother was brought to identify her in Germany where perjury was a death penalty crime. He refused to say it was her- his sister had lovely foot- GDA had a deformed foot as did AA. IF she were confirmed the heir would have been a child she had w/a Czech soldier- and most of their retrievable wealth went to the remaining Romanovs - and Queen Victoria's family.
@jane3eyre She really met her? Wow that's awesome! I wish I could've met her and told her without a doubt in my mind that she is her Imperial Highness The Grand Duchess Anastasia.
@AzulaLover1 Anna Anderson was not Anastasia. Pierre Gilliard and Charles Sydney Gibbes did not recognize her. Her knowledge of the royal family can be explained by the Duchess of Leuchtenberg's quote: "She was very tricky. One day she was asked "Do you remember, you have a porcelain dog on the mantelpiece? "And the next day she spoke next to the visitor: "I remember that we had a porcelain dog on the mantelpiece."
i remember when we had this in a history class, it was so boring. But now it is so interesting, i dont know why, this is exciting for some weird reason
I'm not usually one to believe in conspiracy theories but I don't think that it's a coincidence that the Russian authorities discovered the Romanov's remains just as the Soviet Union was falling to pieces. They may have found them years earlier and suppressed the information until then.
This is a good channel, I will sub. I live in France now and found out a few years ago I seem to be some sort of vizier princess. In fact, this was told to me as a child but my father told me to remain silent until age 50, which was surely wise. I seem to have connections with the Romanovs but only via marriage. What is nice I think is that apparently my family's lands went to the people. This is in Slovenia and I am Köprülü, apparently. Not actual noble but vizier.
baire702 I agree with you.They had enough money to buy off anybody. There was money and power at stake. The resmblance is uncanny .she could not speak russain? Now that is strange ???
Noone ever thought how the confused sprit of a violently dead personality could choose to enter inside a fragile nature of an alive being, well closed one ? Miss.Anderson, without doubt was inhabited by Anastasia sprit.
audio transcribed using the cc thing at the bottom said that anaesthesia and on a station were what the narrator was saying when he was really saying anastasia xD
if she's not the real anastasia? how can she say that on that exact night she fainted and was brought somewhere when no one, other than the executors know that they are in that location and will be executed? what if she learned the polish language lately?..very interesting story..so sad to think that a royal family can be treated and even killed in a harsh way.

@MrChuchu29 she was mentally unstable, and then when the great countess olga romanov (nicholas's sister) met ana she broke into tears saying that that wasnt her anastasia
They found the two siblings though and they were burned and DNA conclude that they were both related and related to their parents.. but they didnt know which sister it was could have been maria or Anastasia .. i watched it from the video "Finding Anastasia" should be on the side in the related video list
tezz look at the 5:45 photo :( look they are so innocent! why would somebody kill those little baby's!!! don't they have a heart or have mercy ! damn my heart is really broken
Im confused. Could Anastasia have survived? I mean, its obviose that Anna Anderson isnt Anastasia, but that doesnt mean she didnt right? I mean, maybe she was too scared to show herself or somthing. Whatever the reason, maybe Anastasia didnt want to be discovered.
Why didn't the extended family rescued them? where was England to give them shelter as they hoped for? Why didn't the tsar's brother take the throne? Is it just me or did everyone just went ahead with politics and turned their backs to the tsar and his family?
@northerndulcedoll George V was meant to give his 1st cousin, Tsar Nicolas II and his family political asylum in England but later revoked it cause he was scared that England would also have an uprising , when he heard that his relatives had died he regretted his actions. George V and Nicholas II look like twins its actually creepy lol
I for one do not find it sad that Anastasia did not survive. Why would anyone want to be the only member of their family to survive a massacre and then have to live their life on the run and in hiding? Russia was a mess, she would have had no papers, no money, been SEVERELY traumatized and completely alone, wandering around until the day came when she finally joined her family in heaven. I'm thankful for her that she was spared that and that they all passed on together.
@KarmaCollin No, but I have parents. And I know that I myself would not want to survive after witnessing them and all of my siblings being butchered like animals in front of me. I don't think my mind would survive, and I'd probably become suicidal anyway. So in that regard, I'd rather just pass with them.
@AWickedMind Hey pal. No disrespect intended. I can invision myself as the Czar, and with that horrible act that happened to them, and yes it was very horrible...if one of my children could have lived I would have gone to my grave happy. Life is always better, even if you have to suffer. Life is better. Be well my friend.
Russia should have made the Czar sign his power to the people, instead of killing him and his family. That happened to king William II of the Netherlands in 1848; a guy named Thorbecke 'forced' the king to sign his power to a parliament.
In the Netherlands the monarchy still excists, but their function is, basically, to open buildings and wave at the people.
@cruz1506 Charles did give the people parliament, and he did give up his throne. He did all that he could to pacify the situation and complied completely, but he couldn't change his bloodline or the fact that some people still supported the monarchy, and that was a very grave threat that couldn't be allowed. As long as the Tsar and his heirs were alive, it would have been possible at any moment to restore them to power, so they could not be allowed to live.
@AWickedMind Yes, I see your point, seeing as Charles was succeeded by his son Charles II. However, King Charles encouraged a second Civil War, in a society which was already licking his wounds, so to speak. The Parliament therefore decided to try him for treason against England. He used his power to pursue his own interest rather than the good of England.
I'm not sure whether Czar Nicholas II did the same as Charles did, though. This documentary is not very clear on that aspect.
@cruz1506 I was totally confused about your reply until I realized that I mistakenly called Nicholas "Charles" in my comment to you. I was talking about the Czar and don't know how I got the names mixed up lol, but the case of Charles of England is relevant as an example, since, as you say, his title was removed as well and yet his son was able to take back the crown and reinstate the monarchy, which is what the Czar's enemies couldn't allow and so killed the whole family.
@cruz1506 Hey, it's always good to know your history! Very few people of today know anything about King Charles I & II of England, so I pass you a platter of brownie points for that one. I've been reading a ton about the Romanov family massacre lately and I don't know how the heck I ended up calling the Czar Charles. I think that was his father's name.
..maybe what happened to the Romanov family was a punishment for believing and having faith that Resputint was somehow possessed by God the fact that he is a human and far from being God..
@APRIL62318 I beg to differ. If DNA is incorrectly analyzed, or the person analyzing it is not careful and paying attention, then no, the DNA doesn't lie, but the analyst might.
By the way, wouldn't it be amazing to be the granddaughter of Anastasia???
All of this scientific comparison and DNA testing is a smokescreen. The whole family escaped out of Russia. They were never killed. This Polish-speaking "Anna" may have been a double for the real Anastasia. That would account for her knowing certain details of Ana's life and not knowing others. Doubles have been used all through history for people of importance. Check Wikipedia; there were several Anastasia imposters.
Does anyone know the name of the man who Anastasia married or his job?
unfortunately guys non of the Romanovs family members survived...2 bodies were found that has been burn..one belong to Alexis and to other to either one of the duchess over all..the bodies are completed and again with support of DNA it belong to the Romanovs family member..a very tragic tale of a family ; [
They've found the other two bodies now :( and DNA tests proved Anna Anderson was not a Romanov. Was a very compelling story though, would have been fantastic if Anastasia had survived.
i thought dna only proves a similarity. other evidence is required to make a case watertight. it does appear that all the evidence is against anna. she was not a recluse, she was married and lived with her husband.
Well...It seems that all the anti-Anna wanted to write to me at the same time...It's quite hilarious.
I still believe that she was Anastasia. Don't be so afraid that people will take my side girls! They don't. They will believe Anna Anderson was Franziska for papers say so. I'm not alone in my tought of she was who she said she was, but we are not so much people. Don't be afraid...I keep believe that she was Anastasia, but I 'll not "fight" for it. Let me have my own toughts.
@CapaodaCanoa You are 100% correct! Keep believing. The trial against Anna Anderson was a means to protect the family members from being found by the Soviets. It was also a Royal and State secret. This will be proven and published!
I agree , baire702...People from today are too guilible. They read the word "DNA" and it takes the place of God! Lord! They don't know that DNA can be faked as any other "scientist" proof? Anna Anderson was Anastasia; that's pretty clear for me.
@CapaodaCanoa but anna anderson could not speak russian? so i really don't know. like the ear structure and the fact that family members say that she looks like ana. but still what reason would the scientest have to lie. also they say ana's body is not missing but maria's is more likely
@fleurgi Yes she could speak Russian. Also English and German fluently. A poor Polish peasant girl would never have mastered these languages. Get real!
I agree that DNA evidence can be faked, altered, misread, etc. but if you watch the newer geographic channel's Anastasia documentary, you will learn that the 2 missing bodies have been found and confirmed to be the prince and either Anastasia or Maria- either way, all bodies have been accounted for so it is safe to say that none of the family members survived.
@AWickedMind Ezaxrlt what I said. The relatives of the family do not believe what you wrote, so why should you? It is terrible to read so many inaccurate posts. "Geesh" is not a part of the English language, particularly when referring to history. That is a childish manner of speaking. When you are versed as much as I am on this subject, then I will listen to uou.
@1toscany AGAIN. You are going on about people being young? What the hell is the point in not talking to someone who, according to you, is not up to your standards. Stop being a stuck up bitch. If you are the professor you claim to be, which sounds at this point just as erroneous as Anna Anderson still having supporters, you must be jacked up on the high of being a new instructor. You actually answered some ques. on this page though, good for you. fuck. Stop being so damn critical of everybody
@baire702 I agree with you. I can't see how someone could have the same mark on their foot, same ear, and same known information. But the Polish thing throws me off.
@Tealojo She could have heard polish somewhwere, maybe right before or after seeing her slaughtered, it is a pretty big trauma after all, that could also cause you to forget how the building that was your home is constructed. I think unles she recited War and piece in polish for them, it proves nothing. I use spanish words sometimes, doesn't make me Jennifer Lopez.
@Deseo1990ru While I get what you are saying but I don't think she knew just a few words in Polish, then it woildn't be mentioned. That wouldn't be mentioned, it's just little facts. I also use Spanish words sometimes, yet I'm Serbian. But I think that they must have heard her say it with perfect dialect as well, and one cannot just pick that up. Even through a traumatic experience.

@baire702 National Geographic (Mystery of the Romanovs) shot a documentary claiming the founding of the second grave and DNA matching to the rest of the family. My opinion is that the DNA test is a trusthworthy way to confirm the relatives. That second grave was found and the DNA testing from the bones matched the other grave's bone's DNA testing. So Anastasia and Alexei could not have survived the masacre. Though it is confusing because of Anne Anderson obvious potencial matching.
@baire702 anastasia died in 1918.....Anna Anderson was a polish woman , who was a fraud and wanted to inherit whatever fortune was left from the romanovs....
@BrionyMae two bodies were missing one was alexi and the other was ethier maria or anastasia - without medical care alexi would have died but even anastasia could have died espcially in siberian weather :/
@BrionyMae two bodies were missing one was alexi and the other was ethier maria or anastasia - without medical care alexi would have died but even Anastasia could have died especially in siberian weather :/
i bet all these experts that said anna anderson was Anastaisa feel really silly now as DNA tests on Andersons proved she was lieing and now as of 2008 all the bones of the family have been recovered and proof that none of them survived.
Completely unnecessary to execute the Romanov family. Sad that the innocent children had to die they had their entire lives ahead of them. Really hope the Russian people demand the reinstatement of the monarchy in the future. And put a descendant on the throne again.

@cruz1506 I was totally confused about your reply until I realized that I mistakenly called Nicholas "Charles" in my comment to you. I was talking about the Czar and don't know how I got the names mixed up lol, but the case of Charles of England is relevant as an example, since, as you say, his title was removed as well and yet his son was able to take back the crown and reinstate the monarchy, which is what the Czar's enemies couldn't allow and so killed the whole family.

@cruz1506 Hey, it's always good to know your history! Very few people of today know anything about King Charles I & II of England, so I pass you a platter of brownie points for that one. I've been reading a ton about the Romanov family massacre lately and I don't know how the heck I ended up calling the Czar Charles. I think that was his father's name.

..maybe what happened to the Romanov family was a punishment for believing and having faith that Resputint was somehow possessed by God the fact that he is a human and far from being God..

@APRIL62318 I beg to differ. If DNA is incorrectly analyzed, or the person analyzing it is not careful and paying attention, then no, the DNA doesn't lie, but the analyst might.
By the way, wouldn't it be amazing to be the granddaughter of Anastasia???
Madabby98 1 year ago
All of this scientific comparison and DNA testing is a smokescreen. The whole family escaped out of Russia. They were never killed. This Polish-speaking "Anna" may have been a double for the real Anastasia. That would account for her knowing certain details of Ana's life and not knowing others. Doubles have been used all through history for people of importance. Check Wikipedia; there were several Anastasia imposters.
Does anyone know the name of the man who Anastasia married or his job?

unfortunately guys non of the Romanovs family members survived...2 bodies were found that has been burn..one belong to Alexis and to other to either one of the duchess over all..the bodies are completed and again with support of DNA it belong to the Romanovs family member..a very tragic tale of a family ; [

They've found the other two bodies now :( and DNA tests proved Anna Anderson was not a Romanov. Was a very compelling story though, would have been fantastic if Anastasia had survived.

i thought dna only proves a similarity. other evidence is required to make a case watertight. it does appear that all the evidence is against anna. she was not a recluse, she was married and lived with her husband.

Her ear? I hadn't realized they had an ear cast of Anastasia. Maybe they should check my ear to match it.

Well...It seems that all the anti-Anna wanted to write to me at the same time...It's quite hilarious.
I still believe that she was Anastasia. Don't be so afraid that people will take my side girls! They don't. They will believe Anna Anderson was Franziska for papers say so. I'm not alone in my tought of she was who she said she was, but we are not so much people. Don't be afraid...I keep believe that she was Anastasia, but I 'll not "fight" for it. Let me have my own toughts.

@CapaodaCanoa You are 100% correct! Keep believing. The trial against Anna Anderson was a means to protect the family members from being found by the Soviets. It was also a Royal and State secret. This will be proven and published!
1toscany 1 year ago
I agree , baire702...People from today are too guilible. They read the word "DNA" and it takes the place of God! Lord! They don't know that DNA can be faked as any other "scientist" proof? Anna Anderson was Anastasia; that's pretty clear for me.
CapaodaCanoa 2 years ago
@CapaodaCanoa but anna anderson could not speak russian? so i really don't know. like the ear structure and the fact that family members say that she looks like ana. but still what reason would the scientest have to lie. also they say ana's body is not missing but maria's is more likely

@fleurgi Yes she could speak Russian. Also English and German fluently. A poor Polish peasant girl would never have mastered these languages. Get real!

I agree that DNA evidence can be faked, altered, misread, etc. but if you watch the newer geographic channel's Anastasia documentary, you will learn that the 2 missing bodies have been found and confirmed to be the prince and either Anastasia or Maria- either way, all bodies have been accounted for so it is safe to say that none of the family members survived.

@AWickedMind Ezaxrlt what I said. The relatives of the family do not believe what you wrote, so why should you? It is terrible to read so many inaccurate posts. "Geesh" is not a part of the English language, particularly when referring to history. That is a childish manner of speaking. When you are versed as much as I am on this subject, then I will listen to uou.

@1toscany AGAIN. You are going on about people being young? What the hell is the point in not talking to someone who, according to you, is not up to your standards. Stop being a stuck up bitch. If you are the professor you claim to be, which sounds at this point just as erroneous as Anna Anderson still having supporters, you must be jacked up on the high of being a new instructor. You actually answered some ques. on this page though, good for you. fuck. Stop being so damn critical of everybody

how do we know that DNA proved anything? The Romanov family has enough money to pay off those who tested the DNA.
Too many similarities between Anna Anderson and The Grand Duchess.

Please watch Finding Anastasia Part 5, in this same channel. Two trustworthy teams (Russia and USA) tested bones with similar results.

@Tealojo She could have heard polish somewhwere, maybe right before or after seeing her slaughtered, it is a pretty big trauma after all, that could also cause you to forget how the building that was your home is constructed. I think unles she recited War and piece in polish for them, it proves nothing. I use spanish words sometimes, doesn't make me Jennifer Lopez.
Deseo1990ru 1 year ago
@Deseo1990ru While I get what you are saying but I don't think she knew just a few words in Polish, then it woildn't be mentioned. That wouldn't be mentioned, it's just little facts. I also use Spanish words sometimes, yet I'm Serbian. But I think that they must have heard her say it with perfect dialect as well, and one cannot just pick that up. Even through a traumatic experience.

@baire702 National Geographic (Mystery of the Romanovs) shot a documentary claiming the founding of the second grave and DNA matching to the rest of the family. My opinion is that the DNA test is a trusthworthy way to confirm the relatives. That second grave was found and the DNA testing from the bones matched the other grave's bone's DNA testing. So Anastasia and Alexei could not have survived the masacre. Though it is confusing because of Anne Anderson obvious potencial matching.

i bet all these experts that said anna anderson was Anastaisa feel really silly now as DNA tests on Andersons proved she was lieing and now as of 2008 all the bones of the family have been recovered and proof that none of them survived.
