ROMANOV FAMILY REMAINS: UNIQUE PHOTO OF EXHUMATION OF ALEXANDER III

For those of you following the Romanov remains saga, this is a very unique photograph of the exhumation of the tomb of Tsar Alexander III at the St Peter & Paul Cathedral.

Samples from Alexander III’s remains will be compared to the genetic material of his son, Tsar Nicholas II, in order to (hopefully) resolve the long lasting dispute about the Romanov remains, and bury the two younger Romanov children: Grand Duchess Maria and Tsarevich Alexei.

Update on the saga of the Romanov family remains. I am not sure what is implied here, could they possibly be questioning whether Alexander III’s remains are really in his tomb?

ROMANOV FAMILY: TOMB OF TSAR ALEXANDER III OPENED PREVIOUSLY?

Bishop Tikhon Egoryevsky (Shevkunov) stated that the tomb of Tsar Alexander III, whose remains were exhumed recently, may have been opened earlier. “We do not claim anything, we are not saying that the tomb of Alexander III was opened, although we do admit that it is more than a possibility. Right now we only admit this: the tombstone over the grave of Alexander III was previously disassembled and reassembled again,” he said.

Tikhon also stated that during the investigation, it was discovered that the corners of the tomb were chipped and the plates of tombstone had shifted. According to the Bishop, this was recorded by the staff of the Investigative Committee.
