New evidence suggests that the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II and his family were not shot by anyone. These people lived for many more years, and Tsarevich Alex became even one from the leaders of the USSR.
The Bolsheviks needed the royal family
What reasons prompted the Bolsheviks to save life imperial family? In 1979 a book of American journalists came out Tom Mangold and Anthony Summers “Romanovs case – execution, which really wasn’t. “The authors began by saying that 1978, when the documents of the Brest Peace were declassified agreement (signed in 1918), found in the archives of the telegram English Ambassador, which said: from Yekaterinburg the Bolsheviks evacuated the imperial family in Perm.

British intelligence agents operating in Kolchak’s army, reported that the admiral, July 25, 1918. entered Yekaterinburg, immediately appointed an investigator to conduct the execution of the execution imperial family. After three months, Captain Nametkin brought Kolchak a report informing that there was a staging execution. The admiral did not believe and appointed another investigator – Sergeeva, however, soon received the same result.
Kolchak, who had proclaimed himself Supreme by then ruler of Russia, a living king was not needed. Therefore, the third account investigator – Sokolov – received a very specific instructions: provide evidence of the death of Nicholas II. Not having come up with nothing better, he reported that the dead bodies were thrown into mine and filled it all with acid.
Mangold and Summers decided that clues should be sought in the text the Brest Treaty itself. However, in its full form it is not there was no London or Berlin declassified archives. Reporters decided that the full text contains points regarding royal family – and therefore destroyed.
They suggested that at the request of Emperor William II, a close relative of Alexandra Fedorovna, the queen with her daughters handed over to Germany. Girls could not qualify for Russian the throne, which means the Bolsheviks were not threatened. Nikolai with his son left hostage, so that the German troops did not go to Petrograd and Moscow.
This version seems logical, especially considering that not the Bolsheviks overthrew the emperor, but the liberal-minded Russian aristocrats, the bourgeois and the army elite. Reds don’t had a special hatred for Nicholas II, who did not threaten them with anything. Moreover, for the Bolsheviks it was a wonderful trump card in the sleeve and good bargaining chip in negotiations.
Lenin probably understood that the former Russian emperor is that chicken, which (if stroked or shaken) can carry many golden eggs, so necessary for the young Soviet state. After all, Nicholas knew the secrets of many state and family deposits in banks of the West. Later these wealth was used to industrialize the country Tips.
The royal family and Soviet power
The further life of the last Russian emperor took place in Sukhumi. It is known that Stalin later built a cottage near the cottage Romanovs and visited there to meet with Nikolai Alexandrovich. The one dressed in officer uniform was also sometimes in the Kremlin, as evidenced by the Stalinist guard General Watov.

The fate of Tsarevich Alexei was even more surprising. Like to many, he eventually came to terms with the revolution in the country and decided that it was necessary to serve his Fatherland regardless political beliefs.
Historian S.I. Zhelenkov provides convincing evidence the transformation of the former heir to the throne in the Red Army Alexei Kosygin. In the whirl of a civil war, especially with the help of the Cheka, it was not at all difficult to do. It turned out to be much more interesting further career of the former successor to the throne. Stalin saw in the young man had great inclinations and moved him along the line of the folk households.
In 1942 Alexei Kosygin, being authorized by the State Committee Defense in Leningrad, led the evacuation of Tsarskoye Selo population, property, industrial enterprises. He, many times who went on a standard yacht in Ladoga, knew the surroundings very well Lake Ladoga and managed to organize the Road of Life, connecting besieged city with the mainland.
Kosygin, completely removed from party affairs, remained at his own positions and after his high patron died. And Khrushchev, and Brezhnev needed a good, proven business executive, and because Kosygin worked as head of government for 16 years (the longest in the history of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and Russian Federation).
Where are the remains of the royal family
Honor the memory of the last Russian emperor current monarchists can come to Nizhny Novgorod, because it is here in the cemetery called “Red Etna” and was December 26, 1958. buried Nikolai Alexandrovich Romanov. Funeral and betrayed him the land of the famous local elder Gregory.
As for the wife and daughters of Nicholas II, then their footprint, too can not be called lost. In the nineties italian newspaper “La Repubblica” posted a note on the death of Pascalina Lenart, nuns who occupied in 1939-1958. important post at the pope Pie XII. Shortly before her death, Sister Pascalina called a notary, who was informed that Princess Olga Romanova, not shot, contrary to the official version, the Bolsheviks lived for a long time under the patronage of the Vatican, and after death was buried on graveyard of the village of Marcotte (northern Italy). Arriving there reporters found a tombstone, the inscription on which, made on German, confirmed: the eldest is really resting here daughter of the Russian emperor Nikolai Romanov.

A reasonable question arises: who, in 1998? solemnly buried in the Peter and Paul Cathedral? According to President Boris Yeltsin, there found eternal peace the remains of members of the royal family. However, the Russian Orthodox Church admit this fact refused.
Recall also that the confessor of the Romanovs, Bishop Feofan (escaped from revolutionary Russia and subsequently residing in Sofia) claimed: he did not serve a memorial service for the murdered august family, and his spiritual children are alive! ..
