To all the people that think that Anastasia and Alexei lived through that night, do you also think that President Kennedy is still"alive". The people that murdered the Czar and his family would have made sure that the entire family was dead. DNA doesn't lie.

Unfortunately, the fact is she did not escape.

They found her bones and they identified the remains as Anastasia Romanov's. When they shot the family, the women survived 'cause the bullets didn't go through their diamond coursets. So the "guards" went and stabbed them until they were dead.

So there isn't a way she could have escaped, unfortunately. Which also means "Anna Anderson" is NOT Anastasia Romanov.

Correction to all that believe the fairy tail: Maria is the one that went missing. They determined one of the bodies was Anastasia by a visible deformity on her left foot and by the body of the woman in the burn pile being the body of a young adult- approximately 19-25.

@Jane1620 sometimes it's wrong, but you're right. people need to get brains or if they actually have them, use them. 11 soldiers in a crowded basement. no way anybody survived.

[PANDAS4231]

No, they haven't. No one knows where Anastasia is. And the whole movie is a total fake, as well the woman that came forward ages ago and said she was Anastasia. DNA says otherwise!

then why have they been talking for years and had said they found the grand dutches anastasia?

@TunaEars isn't that just the same thing? Having sufficient contempt to burn books is exactly the same as actually burning them, It still amounts to ignorance and fundamentalist hatred.

[TunaEars]

@markoconnor20112011 i said i was tempted, not that i did ceromonial burning of books in the middle of fields. it was just a way to express my contempt for the end that the IF faced, not that i would actually jump around a bonfire chanting.

[markoconnor20112011]

@TunaEars I see that you enjoy burning books. The Nazi's and the Taliban are famous for their love of burning books. That says alot about you.

@markoconnor20112011 yup

as long as your brain is in your ass!
