И снова об останках императорской семьи Романовых. Кто и для чего сеет сомнения в подлинности останков, упокоенных в Петропавловском соборе?

Now that Russia’s investigative committee has reopened its case on the 1918 murder of the Romanov family after the Russian Orthodox church demanded further testing of their remains, it seems to be a good time to revisit this article we wrote back in 2005!

The reburial of two children of Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna has finally been (tentatively?) scheduled for October 18, 2015. The ceremony will take place in the Peter and Paul Cathedral on Zayachi Island in St. Petersburg. This proposal was made by the Special Commission of the Russian government, under the leadership of Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers Sergei Prikhodko.
The committee has been dealing with research and reburial of the Tsar’s children for several years. Currently the skeletal remains of (what is now accepted to be) Maria Romanov and her brother Alexei Romanov are kept at Russia’s State Archives. The other members of the imperial Romanov family were previously entombed at St Peter and Paul Cathedral, where all Russian Tsars and members of the imperial family had been traditionally buried.

For those of you who would like to read the original paper on the identification of two Romanov children, please click on the “Romanov Mystery Solved” link below. We will probably never know for sure if the remains of the missing girl discovered with Tsesarevich Alexei’s remains are those of Grand Duchess Maria or Grand Duchess Anastasia, as the “little pair” were too close in age and the investigators have no confirmed DNA sample to compare. But the most important thing is that the entire Romanov family is now accounted for. Let’s hope the two children will be buried with the rest of the family soon!
