Her parents were Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna. In November 1917, the entire family and servants were kidnapped by Lenin and his men.

Anastasia had a great life until she died. She was very joyful and optimistic in her early life. She loved her dog and when she was kidnapped she took her dog with her. When Anastasia and her family was executed, there was still hope that she survived. Anna Anderson, who looked a lot like Anastasia, kept the myth of Anastasia alive for several decades. Then when Anna died, modern scientific techniques were used by investigators to prove without a doubt that she was not Anastasia. Anastasia did die on that fateful day in 1918 with the rest of her family. The mystery of Anastasia was finally put to

In 1153 Ivan suddenly became ill, he demanded allegiance to his oldest son Dmitri. The boyars balked. Ivan recovered but his mistrust of the nobility grew. Dmitri was dropped into a river and drowned, Anastasia died in 1560. These two events snapped Ivan's mind out of the harmony it for thirteen had enjoyed. It also marked the beginning of the second half of Ivan's reign, split like so much else about Ivan's person.
When the Czar was overthrown, many people think that the entire family was killed, others think that Anastasia, the daughter of the Czar, escaped. When a girl who looked, and acted like Anastasia was found in a river, many people believed that it was her, others believed she was a Polish factory worker named Anna Anderson. Anna Anderson and Anastasia are the same person because evidence proves that only nine of the eleven bodies were found in the grave, many of her close friends and family believe that it was her, and Anastasia and Anna’s ears match.

To Squeeze a Lemon Dry: How Princess Dashkova’s Memoir Reveals Common Themes Among Russia’s History
It would be nice to think that a child or two children could escape an unjust execution, but scientists, for years, have proven that it was impossible to achieve. Scientists have said, shortly after the Romanov family was executed, that it was proven that the entire Romanov family was killed in the basement in a house inside of Ekaterinburg, Russia. For years, people have tried to prove that it was possible to escape the basement the family was held in, but every scenario that all the different scientists ran, it was proven impossible. The family went down to the basement all together and never came out. Therefore, in 1918, the Romanov family line stopped with the execution of Nicholas II and his entire family.
Although I have learned some things about Russia and the late 1800’s and early 1900’s this book taught me some new information. When Nicholas’s son was diagnosed with hemophilia ( a disease when the blood doesn’t clot properly) I noticed that they didn’t have a treatment or cure for it. Today, hemophilia still can’t be cured but, the treatments are: help from a specialist, medications, and supportive care. I think it is interesting how our medical world has developed from then to now. Another thing I found interesting was how during the late 1800’s how the government was controlled under the form of autocracy, when one person ( the tsar in this case) holds all power. I couldn’t imagine living under the rules of someone having no power, unlike
In “Who Was Tsar Dmitri?”, Chester Dunning reexamines the identity and character of ‘the false’ Tsar Dmitri. He attempts to break down the myths that have been recycled from Russian primary sources into Russian historiography. By using traditional Russian folklore and surviving propaganda produced by Dmitri’s rivals Dunning is able successfully call into question the characterization of Dmitri in traditional scholarship. This article will be useful for this research paper as it explores both the context of Dmitri’s reign and assassination and also the propaganda used to discredit
She had long scars all over her body and her head was fragile to touch. Her identity was unknown, she wouldn't answer any questions concerning her identity and no one claimed to know her. She was put in an asylum to care for her. After two years of being in the asylum, she announced to some of the nurses she trusted, that she was the youngest daughter of Czar Nicholas II, Anastasia. This was unbelievable because the Royal Family had supposedly disappeared on July 16, 1918.
Throughout the 20th century many books have been written about the fall of the Romanov Empire in Russia. It was a dynasty that had been in power for over three hundred year and ends with the last Romanov family being murdered. Tsar Nicholas and his family have been made famous through the many movies and books that tell of their tragedy. Over the past 80 years the Romanov story has become legend, like a fairy tale; but in this fairy tale one man stands out. This man, Rasputin, although he was not royalty, was close to the family and had a hand in its downfall.
A telegram anouncing the Grandmother’s death. 21.Who did Ivanovich find on the hotel room’s porch The “Baboulinka”
The dumbest thing I have ever done was gone to an abandoned asylum while I was in high school. The asylum was in Forest Heaven and it was closed off from the public except for the fact that there was a real Mental Hospital and military base around the area. Me and a couple of friends decided to go check it out at night. To get to the asylum however you had to walk through a forest as roads into the asylum were closed off and gated by the military compound. We did not take into account that the forest was plagued with poison ivy and ticks. So when we went and walked through the forest twice we were covered in bites and poison ivy marks. I discovered that I had poison ivy the next day when I had marks all throughout my legs and hands. Later that
The case was brought by Ranstev, after the ambiguous death of his daughter Oxana Ransteva. Oxana arrived in Cyprus the 5th of March 2001 to work as an “artiste” in a cabaret. She began working the 16th of March, but shortly escaped from the apartment where she was living the 19th of March. She left a letter behind in which it was written that she was tired and wanted to return to Russia. M.A. (the cabaret’s manager) filed a request in Limassol Immigration Office to arrest Rantseva and deport her to Russia. On March 28, 2001, an artiste spotted Oxana in a discotheque and notified M.A. M.A. and a security guard from his cabaret went to the discotheque to retrieve Rantseva and take her to the Limassol Central Police Station, where he requested
Popular descriptions of Alexei Karenin label him as a cold and passionless government official who doesn’t care about his wife or family. Indeed, he is viewed as the awful husband who is holding Anna hostage in a loveless marriage. However, this is a highly exaggerated description, if not completely false, analysis of Karenin. Upon careful analysis of Karenin’s character and his actions, it is clear that he is not the person Anna makes him out to be. In fact, with thorough examination of the passage on pages 384 and 385 of Anna Karenina, it is clear that Alexei Karenin can be considered the hidden tragic hero of the novel.
One resource used for this investigation was Nicholas and Alexandra by Robert K. Massie, which describes the reign of Nicholas II. This source was published in 1967 in the United States, thus the book is a secondary source. Massie is a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian whose work focuses on the Russian Romanovs. Massie’s alma mater includes Yale and Oxford University. The source is highly valuable in its extremely detailed and comprehensive research of nearly 600 pages, providing the thoughts of those in positions of power and interesting, insightful perspectives to the situation at the time. An analysis on connecting causes and effects are thorough and
