Did Anastasia Romanov really survive?
Did Anastasia Romanov really survive? As satisfying as the movie ending is, the real Anastasia probably did not reunite with her grandmother years after the Russian Revolution and run off with a charming con man. In fact, she probably did not survive her family’s execution at all.
Does the Romanov family still exist?
Czar Nicholas II’s immediate family was executed in 1918. But there are still living descendants with royal claims to the Romanov name.
Why did they think Anastasia survived?
The czar and his family were gunned down and stabbed by members of the Red Guard early on the morning of July 17, 1918, but rumors have persisted that two of the children, the Grand Duchess Anastasia and her brother Alexei, survived, perhaps because the diamonds sewn into their clothes blocked attempts to kill them.
Did any Russian royalty survive?
