Now, some archaeologists say they have found the remains of the tsar's children. If these remains are proved to be true, then the biggest mystery of Russia in the last century will be over.
On the outskirts of Yekaterinburg, in an unremarkable mound, the biggest secret of this country in the last century is hidden.
Passing through a clearing, a birch forest appeared in front of me. In a swamp in the Woods, the remains of the last Russian czar Nicholas II and his family are hidden. Their bodies were once thrown with sulfuric acid, dismembered and mixed with soil, and were not dug up until 199 1. But this is not the end of the story.
A mystery that has puzzled the Russian people for ten years.
Their bodies were buried elsewhere, or did they escape the death penalty as rumored?
Tsar Nicholas II was the last ruler of Romanov dynasty. 19 17, Nicholas ii was forced to abdicate under the turbulent domestic revolutionary situation. 19 18 July later, Nicholas ii's family-the tsar and his wife, five children, a doctor, a chef, a footman and a maid-were taken to Siberia. They arrived in Yekaterinburg and were detained in an apartment in Ipatieff.
1918 On the evening of July 16, they were ordered to meet in the basement at midnight. Nobody knows what happened in the basement.
Many memories of the parties have become contradictory due to the passage of time. The only thing that can confirm their whereabouts is that in July of 18, the czar was executed.
In the implementation of 19 18 in July, a total of 1 1 people were shot. People passed the DNA test, but only nine bodies were confirmed. The bodies of the tsar's son Alexei and an unidentified daughter are missing. Their bodies were buried elsewhere, or did they escape the death penalty as rumored? This secret has puzzled the Russian people for ten years.
A clue read from a word.
After a walk, they found some burnt remains in the jungle about 60 meters away from the swamp where the Tsar family was buried.
Beginning in August this year, a group of amateur archaeologists began to investigate and finally uncovered the secret.
A secret file of the former Soviet Union-the memory of the main executioner revealed clues. Historian Vitaly Sitov carefully studied the memoir documents of that year in order to find the remains. He said, "Information can be found in the words they use."
Yakov Yulovski was the captain of the firing squad who was executed at that time. He recalled that in order to prevent the bodies from being found, they first threw the bodies of the Tsar family in a mine and then moved them to a swamp on the side of the road for burial. According to Yulovski's memory, they deliberately buried two bodies separately from other bodies, because once the royalists tried to find the body of the first emperor, they would only look for the place to bury the body of 1 1, and the nine bodies would not arouse their suspicion.
But how to separate? Yulovski used a Russian word "tutzhe" to express it. This word means "right here", "nearby" and "right away". Many people therefore understand that the second grave is next to the first grave. However, according to Sitov, this word may mean that human remains are buried in this area, but it is a certain distance from the first place. They also believe that the first burial site is surrounded by swamps, and in order to burn the bodies, the firing squad must find a dry land.
According to his memoirs, Sitov, together with other archaeologists and detectives, came to the place where the remains of the Tsar family were buried. The birch forest rustled in the wind, as if pointing out the direction. After a walk, they found some burnt remains in the jungle about 60 meters away from the swamp where the Tsar family was buried.
The bone that reveals the mystery of the century
The newly unearthed bones belong to two young people, one is male, aged between 10 and 13; The other is a female, aged between 18 and 23 years old.
19 19 in March, so Hohloff was appointed as the inspector general, responsible for investigating the death of the tsar and looking for their bodies. 1924, Suo Hohloff published "Judicial Investigation on the Murder of a Russian Emperor's Family" in Paris. In this book, he said that after being shot by a firing squad, people were thrown into an abandoned mine, treated with sulfuric acid and burned with gasoline, leaving no body residue. 1926, the Soviet government published The Last Days of the Tsar, which confirmed what Mr. Hohloff said.
Another participant, Sergei Pogorelov, an archaeologist in Yekaterinburg, said that they found bullets, charred bones and pottery utensils at the burial site. Preliminary analysis shows that this container was once filled with sulfuric acid. A person in charge of execution once said that when the musketeers executed the Tsar family, acid was poured on them to destroy their bodies.
It turns out that many people have come here to dig three feet to find the remains of the prince and princess for so many years. They dug mines to find the area near the tsar's residence, but they missed the prince and princess countless times.
Nevorin, the head of the legal and political department in this area, said that they have obtained 44 handed over bones and will make a detailed analysis. Nevorin said that they knew that Prince Alexei had hemophilia, so they would test the genes of the bones.
At present, it can be determined that the newly unearthed bones belong to two young people, one is male, aged between 10 and 13; The other is a female, aged between 18 and 23 years old. It is speculated that she may be Anna Stasija, age 17, and some people say that she is Maria, age 19. If the newly discovered bones are proved to belong to the children of the last tsar, it will fill a gap in historical research. (Yan) according to
Last chance to dispel doubts
prospect
199 1 year, the remains of nine czar families and their servants were excavated. 1998, according to the order of then Russian President Yeltsin, the body of the Tsar family was solemnly buried in Peter Paul Cathedral in St. Petersburg.
In 2000, Nicholas II's family was canonized as a martyr by the Russian Orthodox Church. However, the Orthodox Church never officially recognized Yekaterinburg's remains as the true remains of the Tsar's family. This has a lot to do with the inconsistency of the number of remains and the lack of conclusive evidence.
Due to the carelessness of the diggers, many evidences that can prove their death have been lost. Therefore, the authenticity of these two bones has become the last chance to dispel the doubts of the Orthodox Church. Pogorelov, an archaeologist who participated in the search for human remains, said that the excavation of the first tomb was too casual and careless, and many precious clues were destroyed. This time, they will definitely adopt professional archaeological excavation techniques and invite the Orthodox Church to supervise.
If these two bones are proved to belong to the prince and princess, then the question about the fate of the last czar's family will be calmed down. One of the greatest mysteries of the last century will also be solved. "The discovery of this skeleton ended a sad page in Russian history," said Russian historian Peter Sharon Dinaki.

It is speculated that anastasia, the daughter of the Tsar, may have escaped the death penalty. According to statistics, in the past 80 years, 30 women claimed to be the last princess-Tashia, which is what people in the palace called her. Among these people, there are several legends because it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
1920, Berlin, Germany, a mysterious woman named anna anderson called herself Anna Stasija. She made up a story about a soldier's heroic rescue of the United States and won charitable donations from countless sympathizers. She can't speak Russian, only English, German and a little French. In this regard, her explanation is that the Russians killed her family and she stopped speaking Russian.
Anna anderson was met by the members of the czar's royal family one by one, and was constantly affirmed and denied, which was a smash hit. It was not until 1984 that she died that people proved that she was not a member of the czar's royal family through DNA testing.
In 2002, Belleek Hoja, a Georgian woman aged10/kloc-0, became the last person in the world to claim to be anastasia. The way she invented to avoid shooting was even more ridiculous. She said she put the jewels,
The diamond was put in the tights and the bullet bounced off the "diamond bulletproof vest", so she was only slightly injured and was saved by a kind person.
