Death of a Tsar: Romanov Execution

STORY PREFACE


On July 16,
a telegram in previously
agreed-upon language
came from Perm
containing the order
to exterminate the Romanovs

Yakov Yurovsky
Chief Executioner

Before an execution, there's supposed to be a trial. Before a trial, there's supposed to be a crime.

What was the crime of 13-year-old Alexis, heir to the Russian throne? What was the crime of Anastasia and his other sisters?

No crime. No trial. No justice. This is their story.
