| A Tale of Survival?
In December 1917, the Bolshevik Revolution and the Communist Party are in their infancy. The First World War is still raging and America is not interested in the political situation in Russia. In England King George V, anxious about his throne and the future of England, publicly states that he will not grant asylum to his first cousins - the Tsar and Tsarina as well as the children of the Imperial Family of Russia - who are imprisoned in Siberia. Some time later and weeks before their deaths, Nicholas and his family are moved to Ekaterinburg, in the Ural Mountains. Upon arrival they are placed in the Ipatiev House where they live out their last days. In the middle of the night on July 16/17, 1918, there is a knock at the door of their quarters. On a pretext Nicholas, Alexandra, the children and their attenders are herded down to the basement where a firing squad massacres them. Or so the story goes...
