It is only known that the remains of the two Romanov children will not be stored at the Peter & Paul Fortress in St Petersburg.
According to RIA News, who quoted Bishop Tikhon of Yegorievsky Church Commission, it may be a while before the new studies on the remains of the last Russian Tsar’s children are completed. The initial results of these studies will be announced in January of 2016.
