Nope.  Just The Fate of the Romanovs.  Your local library should have a copy.

I really wish that she did, but I really don't see how. But if anyone ever does find evidence that she did, I don't want to know. I like the way that it remains a mystery.

I'm convinced that Anastasia escaped, as well as Alexis. And if Nastasya didn't escape is most likely another of the girls, did. Nevertheless, none of them may be alive today. I'm sure about this, at least! And no...Alexis is not like Heino Tammet. They were very different...Look at his big round head and odd ears!

Why does everyone want to live in some fantasy world?  IMO it's rather disrespectful to the Imperial Family to say there's this "mystery".  They all died together; anyone reading about how they were murdered would realize it was impossible for someone to survive that, especially hemophiliac Alexei.

Its not a fantasy world Lanie...its a desire in us or rather an unwillingness to believe the horror of July 1917. That Nicholas and even Alexandra were killed we could take in stride but the fact that innocent children were so brutally murdered is even today hard to accept....and as the old saying goes everyone loves a good mystery. Of course they all perished but pschologically speaking it makes the horror eawsier by thinking that the small children recieved some mercy.

I don't find it disrespectful to discuss, research and continue to explore all avenues of a murder.
It's not as if this was a personal and private anguish that some stranger drug into the limelight.
This family belongs to the ages and in a sense, to all of us. They are a big part of history as well as being the victims of a crime that still has some loose ends that need to be resolved.

what do you think the police and forensics do all the time?

Purely my personal opinion here, but after a lengthy study of the Cheka/mvd/NKVD during my college years, I think the chances of any of the Imperial Family's having escaped are at best miniscule. These people (Lenin, Trotsky, Yurovsky) had too much to lose should anyone escape. As much as we might wish it were not so, I believe the entire family perished in that cellar in Ekaterinburg.

I can't understand WHY some people here wants to stop all researchs (serious researchs and not ramblings of weak minds) in Romanov's murder. They seems to be involved themselves in the case! They jump out in all claimants threads to stand that all those people (like me) who thinks that one of the IF could have been rescued, or that they have doubts related to Anna Anderson's case are fool, stupid, fantasycing people.

 We are trying to do some research about things that are not clear for us, and it's not fair to jump out shouting: "Stop here! You believes in Easter Bunny and fairy tales! None of them survived. So, we don't discuss it any more! "... WOW! Let me said I'll keep discussing the "pretenders" cases until I want to, or until I convince myself that all of them were fake. I don't stop to be interested in this, just for someone shout to me that I can't be!  This is totalitarian, and intolerant. I you are tired of this topic, simply, don't get into it. You are not forced to do it. I don't buy a book I don't want to read, and don't see a movie that I know I will dislike.

      Happyly: other members of the board, are polite and inquiring minds, and they don't believe all that journalist and some books said to them. Their minds are open, and they are ready to share with all of us, all the infos they have. Even if they could not believe in pretenders, or believe in some of their claims, or  believe in Anna Anderson and not in Magda Boodts, or believe in Marga Boodts and not in Anna Anderson, they are always there, ready to discuss facts, and to know more and more things. They are great people...They have an historian mind, and they would be able to do research job in a future, to write a good History book. If you are an historian, you must be able yourself, to not accept things so easily. Things that today seems to be the truth, tomorrow would be proove that they were fake.

P.S: Oh! Beg you pardon...In this thread, it's supposed to not discuss anything related to pretenders. Sorry, Bob.  :-/

       This is just my oppinion, but I don't think that they could have survived. I mean, the chances of children like Anastasia and Alexei (I guess Anastasia was accually a young lady.) being able to escape, are slim to none in my mind. Especially Alexei because if he was hit at all, the bleeding would be severe.

       Plus, even if they did escape, think of the trauma that would remain with them. WOuld someone be able to live with that? And how would they remain hidden? Someone would probably recognize them sooner or later.

       I do not want to offend anyone who beleives that there is a chance on their escape. Personally, I don't beleive the claiments out there, but if you do, I still respect your oppinion.
