According to official history, on the night of July 16-17, 1918, Nikolai Romanov, along with his wife and children, was shot. After the burial was opened and identified, the remains were reburied in the tomb in 1998. Peter and Paul Cathedral St. Petersburg. However, then the ROC did not confirm their authenticity.

"I cannot rule out that the church recognizes royal remains authentic if found compelling evidence their authenticity and if the examination is open and honest,” said Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk, head of the Department for External Church Relations of the Moscow Patriarchate, in July this year.

As you know, in the burial in 1998 of the remains royal family The ROC did not participate, explaining that the church was not sure whether the true remains of the royal family were buried. The Russian Orthodox Church refers to the book of the Kolchak investigator Nikolai Sokolov, who concluded that all the bodies were burned. Some of the remains collected by Sokolov at the place of burning are stored in Brussels, in the church of St. Job the Long-suffering, and they have not been examined. At one time, a version of the note by Yurovsky, who supervised the execution and burial, was found - it became the main document before the transfer of the remains (along with the book of the investigator Sokolov). And now, in the upcoming year of the 100th anniversary of the execution of the Romanov family, the Russian Orthodox Church has been instructed to give a final answer to all the dark places of execution near Yekaterinburg. To obtain a final answer under the auspices of the Russian Orthodox Church, research has been conducted for several years. Again, historians, geneticists, graphologists, pathologists and other specialists are rechecking the facts, powerful scientific forces and the forces of the prosecutor's office, and all these actions again take place under a dense veil of secrecy.

Research on genetic identification is carried out by four independent groups scientists. Two of them are foreign, working directly with the ROC. In early July 2017, the secretary of the church commission for studying the results of the study of the remains found near Yekaterinburg, Bishop Tikhon (Shevkunov) of Yegoryevsk, said: a large number of new circumstances and new documents. For example, Sverdlov's order to execute Nicholas II was found. Moreover, according to the results latest research criminologists confirmed that the remains of the Tsar and Tsaritsa belong to them, since a trace was suddenly found on the skull of Nicholas II, which is interpreted as a trace from a saber blow he received when visiting Japan. As for the queen, dentists identified her by the world's first porcelain veneers on platinum pins.

Although, if you open the conclusion of the commission, written before the burial in 1998, it says: the bones of the sovereign's skull are so destroyed that the characteristic callus cannot be found. In the same conclusion, severe damage to the teeth of the alleged remains of Nikolai by periodontal disease was noted, since this person never been to the dentist. This confirms that it was not the tsar who was shot, since the records of the Tobolsk dentist, whom Nikolai turned to, remained. In addition, the fact that the growth of the skeleton of "Princess Anastasia" is 13 centimeters larger than her lifetime growth has not yet been found. Well, as you know, miracles happen in the church ... Shevkunov did not say a word about the genetic examination, and this despite the fact that genetic research 2003, conducted by Russian and American experts, showed that the genome of the body of the alleged Empress and her sister Elizabeth Feodorovna do not match, which means there is no relationship.

In addition, in the museum of the city of Otsu (Japan) there are things left after the injury of the policeman Nicholas II. They have biological material which can be explored. According to them, Japanese geneticists from the Tatsuo Nagai group proved that the DNA of the remains of "Nicholas II" from near Yekaterinburg (and his family) does not 100% match the DNA of biomaterials from Japan. At Russian expertise The DNA of second cousins ​​was compared, and in the conclusion it was written that "there are matches." The Japanese compared relatives of cousins. There are also results genetic expertise president International Association forensic physicians of Mr. Bonte from Düsseldorf, in which he proved that the found remains and twins of the family of Nicholas II Filatov are relatives. Perhaps, from their remains in 1946, the “remains of the royal family” were created? The problem has not been studied.

Earlier, in 1998, the Russian Orthodox Church, on the basis of these conclusions and facts, did not recognize the existing remains as authentic, but what will happen now? In December, all the conclusions of the Investigative Committee and the commission of the Russian Orthodox Church will be considered by the Council of Bishops. It is he who will decide on the attitude of the church to the Yekaterinburg remains. Let's see why everything is so nervous and what is the history of this crime?

Worth the fight for that kind of money

Part of today Russian elites suddenly awakened interest in one very piquant story of relations between Russia and the United States, connected with the royal family of the Romanovs. Briefly, the story is as follows: more than 100 years ago, in 1913, the Federal backup system(Fed) - the central bank and printing press for the production of international currency, still working today. The Fed was created for the emerging League of Nations (now the UN) and would be a single world financial center with your own currency. Russia contributed 48,600 tons of gold to the "authorized capital" of the system. But the Rothschilds demanded that Woodrow Wilson, who was then re-elected as President of the United States, transfer the center to their private property along with gold. The organization became known as the Fed, where Russia owned 88.8%, and 11.2% - 43 international beneficiaries. Receipts stating that 88.8% of the gold assets for a period of 99 years are under the control of the Rothschilds, six copies were transferred to the family of Nicholas II. The annual income on these deposits was fixed at 4%, which was supposed to be transferred to Russia annually, but settled on the X-1786 account of the World Bank and on 300 thousand accounts in 72 international banks. All these documents confirming the right to 48,600 tons of gold pledged to the FRS from Russia, as well as income from leasing it, the mother of Tsar Nicholas II, Maria Fedorovna Romanova, deposited in one of the Swiss banks. But the conditions for access there are only for the heirs, and this access is controlled by the Rothschild clan. For the gold provided by Russia, gold certificates were issued that allowed the metal to be claimed in parts - the royal family hid them in different places. Later, in 1944, the Bretton Woods Conference confirmed Russia's right to 88% of the Fed's assets.

This “golden” issue was once proposed by two well-known Russian oligarchs – Roman Abramovich and Boris Berezovsky. But Yeltsin "did not understand" them, and now, apparently, that very "golden" time has come ... And now this gold is remembered more and more often - though not at the state level.

In Lahore, Pakistan, 16 police officers have been arrested in connection with the shooting of an innocent family on the streets of the city. According to eyewitnesses, the police stopped the car on its way to the wedding and brutally cracked down on its driver and passengers.

For this gold they kill, fight and make fortunes on it

Today's researchers believe that all wars and revolutions in Russia and in the world occurred due to the fact that the Rothschild clan and the United States did not intend to return the gold to the Russian Federal Reserve. After all, the execution of the royal family made it possible for the Rothschild clan not to give away gold and not pay for its 99-year lease. “Now, out of three Russian copies of the agreement on gold invested in the Fed, two are in our country, the third is presumably in one of the Swiss banks,” researcher Sergei Zhilenkov believes. - In the cache, in the Nizhny Novgorod region, there are documents from the royal archive, among which there are 12 "golden" certificates. If they are presented, then the global financial hegemony of the United States and the Rothschilds will simply collapse, and our country will receive a lot of money and all the opportunities for development, since it will no longer be strangled from across the ocean, ”the historian is sure.

Many wanted to close questions about royal assets with the reburial. Professor Vladlen Sirotkin also has an estimate for the so-called military gold exported to the West and East during the First World War and the Civil War: Japan - 80 billion dollars, Great Britain - 50 billion, France - 25 billion, USA - 23 billion, Sweden - 5 billion, the Czech Republic - $1 billion. Total - 184 billion. Surprisingly, but officials, for example, in the US and the UK do not dispute these figures, but are surprised at the lack of requests from Russia. By the way, the Bolsheviks remembered Russian assets in the West in the early 20s. Back in 1923, the people's commissar foreign trade Leonid Krasin ordered the British detective law firm evaluate Russian real estate and cash deposits abroad. By 1993, the firm reported that it had amassed a $400 billion data bank! And this is legal Russian money.

Why did the Romanovs die? Britain did not accept them!

There is a long-term study, unfortunately, by the now deceased professor Vladlen Sirotkin (MGIMO), “Foreign Gold of Russia” (M., 2000), where the gold and other holdings of the Romanov family accumulated in the accounts of Western banks are also estimated at an amount of at least 400 billion dollars, and together with investments - more than 2 trillion dollars! In the absence of Romanov heirs, the closest relatives turn out to be members of the English royal family... These are the interests of which may be the underlying reason for many events of the XIX-XXI centuries ... By the way, it is not clear (or, on the contrary, it is understandable) for what reasons the royal house of England denied asylum to the Romanov family three times. The first time in 1916, at the apartment of Maxim Gorky, an escape was planned - the rescue of the Romanovs by abduction and the internment of the royal couple during their visit to an English warship, then sent to Great Britain. The second was Kerensky's request, which was also rejected. Then they did not accept the request of the Bolsheviks. And this despite the fact that the mothers of George V and Nicholas II were sisters. In the surviving correspondence, Nicholas II and George V call each other "Cousin Nicky" and "Cousin Georgie" - they were cousins with less age difference three years, and in their youth, these guys spent a lot of time together and were very similar in appearance. As for the queen, her mother, Princess Alice, was the eldest and beloved daughter English queen Victoria. At that time, 440 tons of gold from the gold reserves of Russia and 5.5 tons of personal gold of Nicholas II were in England as collateral for military loans. Now think about it: if the royal family died, then to whom would the gold go? Close relatives! Isn't that the reason why Cousin Georgie was denied admission to Cousin Nicky's family? To get gold, its owners had to die. Officially. And now all this must be connected with the burial of the royal family, which will officially testify that the owners of untold wealth are dead.

Versions of life after death

All versions of the death of the royal family that exist today can be divided into three. The first version: the royal family was shot near Yekaterinburg, and their remains, with the exception of Alexei and Maria, were reburied in St. Petersburg. The remains of these children were found in 2007, all examinations were carried out on them, and they, apparently, will be buried on the day of the 100th anniversary of the tragedy. When confirming this version, it is necessary for accuracy to once again identify all the remains and repeat all examinations, especially genetic and pathological anatomical ones. The second version: the royal family was not shot, but was scattered throughout Russia and all family members died of natural causes, having lived their lives in Russia or abroad, in Yekaterinburg, a family of twins was shot (members of the same family or people from different families, but similar to members of the emperor's family). Nicholas II got twins after Bloody Sunday 1905. When leaving the palace, three carriages left. In which of them Nicholas II sat is unknown. The Bolsheviks, having seized the archive of the 3rd department in 1917, had these twins. There is an assumption that one of the families of twins - the Filatovs, who are distantly related to the Romanovs - followed them to Tobolsk. The third version: the secret services added false remains to the burial places of members of the royal family as they died naturally or before opening the grave. For this, it is necessary to carefully track, among other things, the age of the biomaterial.

Here is one of the versions of the historian of the royal family, Sergei Zhelenkov, which seems to us the most logical, although very unusual.

Before investigator Sokolov, the only investigator who published a book about the execution of the royal family, worked investigators Malinovsky, Nametkin (his archive was burned along with his house), Sergeev (dismissed from the case and killed), Lieutenant General Diterikhs, Kirsta. All these investigators concluded that the royal family was not killed. Neither the Reds nor the Whites wanted to disclose this information - they understood that the American bankers were primarily interested in obtaining objective information. The Bolsheviks were interested in the tsar's money, and Kolchak declared himself supreme ruler Russia, which could not be with a living sovereign.

Investigator Sokolov conducted two cases - one on the fact of the murder and the other on the fact of the disappearance. At the same time, she was investigating military intelligence in the face of Kirst. When the whites left Russia, Sokolov, fearing for the collected materials, sent them to Harbin - some of his materials were lost along the way. Sokolov's materials contained evidence of the financing of the Russian revolution by the American bankers Schiff, Kuhn and Loeb, and Ford became interested in these materials, in conflict with these bankers. He even called Sokolov from France, where he settled, to the USA. When returning from the USA to France, Nikolai Sokolov was killed. Sokolov's book came out after his death, and many people "worked" on it, removing many scandalous facts from there, so it cannot be considered completely truthful. The surviving members of the royal family were watched by people from the KGB, where a special department was created for this, which was dissolved during perestroika. The archive of this department has been preserved. royal family saved by Stalin - the royal family was evacuated from Yekaterinburg through Perm to Moscow and fell into the hands of Trotsky, then People's Commissar of Defense. To further save the royal family, Stalin carried out a whole operation, stealing it from Trotsky's people and taking them to Sukhumi, to a specially built house next to former home royal family. From there, all family members were distributed to different places, Maria and Anastasia were taken to the Glinsk Hermitage ( Sumy region), then Mary was transferred to Nizhny Novgorod region, where she died of illness on May 24, 1954. Anastasia subsequently married Stalin's personal bodyguard and lived very secluded on a small farm, died

June 27, 1980 in the Volgograd region. The eldest daughters, Olga and Tatyana, were sent to the Serafimo-Diveevsky convent - the empress was settled not far from the girls. But they did not live here for long. Olga, having traveled through Afghanistan, Europe and Finland, settled in Vyritsa Leningrad region where she died on January 19, 1976. Tatyana lived partly in Georgia, partly on the territory Krasnodar Territory, buried in Krasnodar Territory, died September 21, 1992. Alexei and his mother lived at their dacha, then Alexei was transferred to Leningrad, where he was "made" a biography, and the whole world recognized him as a party and Soviet leader Alexei Nikolaevich Kosygin (Stalin sometimes called him a prince in front of everyone). Nicholas II lived and died in Nizhny Novgorod(December 22, 1958), and the queen died in the village of Starobelskaya, Lugansk region, on April 2, 1948, and was subsequently reburied in Nizhny Novgorod, where she and the emperor have a common grave. Three daughters of Nicholas II, except for Olga, had children. N.A. Romanov talked with I.V. Stalin, and wealth Russian Empire were used to strengthen the power of the USSR ...

Representatives of the Investigative Committee told Patriarch Kirill at a meeting in the Danilov Monastery on June 14 about the intermediate results of the identification of the remains, which, presumably, belong to the executed members of the family of the last Russian tsar Nicholas II.

The meeting was attended by members of a special patriarchal commission to study the results of the study of the remains.

On the results of the meeting in the Danilovsky Monastery, the attitude of the Russian Orthodox Church to the discussion around the authenticity of the "Yekaterinburg remains" and the immediate plans of the patriarchal commission to publish the results of the examination, in a short interview with TASS after the meeting, said the secretary of the commission, vicar of His Holiness the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia, Bishop Tikhon (Shevkunov) of Yegorievsk.

Vladyka Tikhon, how did today's meeting go, who took part in it, and what questions, besides the report of the representatives of the Investigative Committee, were discussed at it?

The meeting with His Holiness the Patriarch was dedicated to the discussion intermediate results investigations of the Investigative Committee Russian Federation about the murder of the royal family and the results of the work of the commission of the Moscow Patriarchate, which studies the same topic within the framework of the holy patriarch tasks.

Since 2015, new examinations have been carried out and previous examinations on this issue are being studied. Particular attention is paid to the most thorough historical examination, the questions for which were prepared both by the expert historians themselves and by the Investigative Committee. The list of questions was submitted to the Patriarchal Commission also from members of the public.

- Which members of the public submitted questions to the commission?

These are well-known researchers in their field: Leonid Bolotin, Anatoly Stepanov. They submitted a list of questions to the patriarchal commission. This is very interesting topics and questions. They are taken for study along with the rest.

It is known that some members of the public, including the historian and publicist Leonid Bolotin you mentioned, adhere to the version that the remains of the Romanov family do not exist, and are not going to recognize the results of the examination, whatever they may be. How does the church feel about the debate over the authenticity of the remains?

The tasks of the patriarchal commission, of which I am the secretary, do not include the recognition or non-recognition of the remains. The instruction given to us by His Holiness the Patriarch is to conduct, together with the investigation, independent, objective and verifiable, that is, verifiable examinations in the case of the murder of the family of the holy martyrs and their faithful companions. The results of examinations - forensic, genetic, anthropological and historical archival will be submitted to the conciliar judgment of the church.

Judgment regarding the ecclesiastical veneration or non-veneration of the "Ekaterinburg remains" as holy relics is authorized to be made only by the conciliar mind of the Orthodox Church. Before that, all other judgments can certainly take place, since research continues today, and therefore a very important discussion continues.

This is to be welcomed. In what form these judgments are expressed is a question, if one can say, of the genre of the same discussion: in Russia, polemics often take place in very categorical and sharp forms. I don't see anything unusual in this.

The remains of the royal family in Yekaterinburg, 1998

The meeting with the patriarch was held behind closed doors, but nevertheless, could you in general terms talk about the results?

There were so many interesting things in the reports and reports, in the debates and presentations that, with all my desire, I can’t retell it in a short interview: the meeting with the patriarch lasted about five hours.

Now we simply do not have the right to divulge the secret of the investigation: all experts gave the signatures and obligations required by our Code of Criminal Procedure.

But as for what happened after the meeting with the leadership and experts of the Investigative Committee, here I can report that it may be of interest to everyone who follows this topic. At the end of the main meeting, His Holiness gathered the participants present from the Patriarchal Commission.

Here it was proposed and decided to ask the Investigative Committee for permission to publish those materials of the investigation, the examination of which has been completed. The commission will also ask the RF Investigative Committee for permission for permanent and involved experts to give interviews and comments on questions and topics, answers to which have already been received, even before the end of the investigation.

We very much hope for the consent of the Investigative Committee, and then it will be possible to organize a constructive discussion in a wide variety of forms on new and previously existing facts and versions.

Did the investigation, examinations and research reveal earlier unknown facts, and when will it be possible to see the first publication of the results of the examination?

Yes, they showed up. And there are a lot of them. That's all that can be said for now. If permission from the Investigative Committee is obtained, the first publications will be available this summer.

Interviewed by Gleb Bryansky

This gave special weight to the arguments of that group. scholarly historians and geneticists, who is sure that in 1998 in Peter and Paul Fortress under the guise imperial family with great fanfare they buried absolutely alien remains. Professor Russian Academy history and paleontology Vadim Viner. To this end, he even created a special Center to investigate the circumstances of the death of members of the Romanov family, of which he is president. Viner is sure that the statement of Japanese scientists could provoke a new political scandal in Russia if the decision of a special commission of the Russian government, recognizing the "Ekaterinburg remains" as Romanov's, is not canceled. He spoke about the main arguments in this regard and about what interests intertwined in the "Romanov case", he told in an interview with Strana.Ru correspondent Viktor Belimov.

- Vadim Alexandrovich, what grounds does Russia have to trust Tatsuo Nagai?

They are enough. It is known that for an examination of this level it is necessary to take not distant relatives emperor, but the closest relative. I mean sisters, brothers, mother. What did the government commission do? She took a distant relationship, second cousins ​​​​of Nicholas II, and a very distant relationship along the line of Alexandra Feodorovna, this English prince Philip. Despite the fact that there is an opportunity to find out the DNA structures of close relatives: there are the relics of Elizabeth Feodorovna, the sister of the Empress, the son of the sister of Nicholas II Tikhon Nikolaevich Kulikovsky-Romanov. Meanwhile, the comparison was made on the basis of analyzes of distant relatives, and very strange results were obtained with such formulations as "there are matches." Coincidence in the language of geneticists does not mean identity at all. Actually, we all agree. Because we have two arms, two legs and one head. This is not an argument. The Japanese, on the other hand, took DNA tests of just close relatives of the emperor.

Second. Fixed perfectly clear historical fact that when once Nikolai, while still a crown prince, went to Japan, there he was hit on the head with a saber. Two wounds were inflicted: occipito-parietal and fronto-parietal 9 and 10 cm, respectively. During the cleaning of the second occipital-parietal wound, a fragment of bone as thick as an ordinary sheet of writing paper was removed. This is enough to leave a notch on the skull - the so-called callus, which does not resolve. On the skull, which the Sverdlovsk authorities, and later the federal authorities, passed off as the skull of Nicholas II, there is no such callus. Both the Acquisition Foundation, represented by Mr. Avdonin, and the Sverdlovsk Bureau forensic medical examination in the face of Mr. Nevolin, they said anything: that the Japanese were mistaken, that the wound could migrate over the skull, and so on.

And what did the Japanese do? It turns out that after Nikolai's visit to Japan, they kept his scarf, vest, the sofa on which he was sitting, and the saber with which he was hit. All this is in the museum of the city of Otsu. Japanese scientists studied the DNA of the blood that remained on the handkerchief after the injury, and DNA from the cut of the bones found in Yekaterinburg. It turned out that the structures of DNA are different. This was in 1997. Now Tatsuo Nagai decided to generalize all these data into one comprehensive study. His examination lasted a year and ended quite recently, in July. Japanese geneticists proved 100 percent that the examination conducted by Mr. Ivanov's group was clean water hack. But the DNA analysis carried out by the Japanese is only a link in a whole chain of evidence that the Ekaterinburg remains were not involved in the family of Nicholas II.

In addition, I note that an examination was carried out using the same methodology by another geneticist, the president of the International Association of Forensic Physicians, Mr. Bonte from Dusseldorf. He proved that the found remains and twins of the family of Nicholas II Filatov are relatives.

- Why are the Japanese so interested in proving the mistake of the Russian government and Russian geneticists?

Their interest here is purely professional. They keep a thing that has direct relationship not only to the memory of Russia, but to the whole controversial situation. I mean the handkerchief with the king's blood. As you know, geneticists are divided on this issue, as are historians. The Japanese supported the group that is trying to prove that these are not the remains of Nicholas II and his family. And they supported it not because they wanted it, but because their results themselves showed the obvious incompetence of Mr. Ivanov, and even more so the incompetence of the entire government commission that was created under the leadership of Boris Nemtsov. Tatsuo Nagai's conclusions are the last, very strong argument which is difficult to refute.

- Were there any responses to Nagai's statements from your opponents?

There were screams. From the side of the same Avdonin. Like, where is some Japanese professor here, if we are the governor Sverdlovsk region Rossel supported. Then it was said that it was inspired by some dark forces. Who are they? Apparently, there are many of them, starting with Patriarch Alexy II. Because the Church initially did not accept the point of view of the official authorities.

You said that DNA analysis is only a link in the chain of evidence. What other arguments are there to prove that there are no remains of the last imperial family in the Peter and Paul Fortress?

There are two blocks of arguments. The first block is lifelong medicine. Initially, Nikolai Alexandrovich and his family were served by 37 doctors. Naturally preserved medical documents. This is the easiest examination. And the first argument that we found concerns the discrepancies between the data of the intravital records of doctors and the state of skeleton No. 5. This skeleton was passed off as the skeleton of Anastasia. According to the records of doctors, Anastasia had a height of 158 cm during her lifetime. She was short, plump. The skeleton that was buried is 171 cm tall and is a skeleton thin man. The second is the bone callus, as I have already said.

Third. In the diaries of Nicholas II, when he was in Tobolsk, there is an entry: "I was sitting at the dentist." Together with a number of fellow historians, we began to look for who was then a dentist in Tobolsk. He, or rather, she, was alone in the whole city - Maria Lazarevna Rendel. She left her son notes on the state of Nicholas II's teeth. She told me what fillings she applied. We asked forensics to see what kind of fillings the skeleton's teeth had. It turned out that nothing matches. The Medical Examiner's Bureau reiterated that Rendel was wrong. How wrong was she, if she, excuse me, personally treated his teeth?

We started looking for other records. And I found in State Archive RF on Big Pirogovskaya, 17, notes of the life physician Evgeny Sergeevich Botkin. In one of the diaries there is a phrase: “”“ Nicholas II unsuccessfully climbed onto a horse. Fell. Leg fracture. The pain is localized. Plaster cast." But on the skeleton, which they are trying to pass off as the skeleton of Nicholas II, there is not a single fracture. And we did it with minimal cost. Solovyov, the investigator of the Prosecutor General's Office, who was in charge of this case, did not have to travel abroad and spend budget money, as he did with pleasure. It was enough to look into the archives of Moscow and St. Petersburg. But this does not mean unwillingness, but that the authorities very much wanted to ignore these arguments and documents.

The second block of arguments is related to history. First of all, we raised the question of whether Yurovsky's note, on the basis of which the authorities were looking for a grave, was genuine. And here is our colleague, Dr. historical sciences Professor Buranov, in the archive finds a handwritten note written by Mikhail Nikolaevich Pokrovsky, and by no means Yakov Mikhailovich Yurovsky. The grave is clearly marked there. That is, the note is a priori false. Pokrovsky was the first director of the Rosarkhiv. It was used by Stalin when history had to be rewritten. He has a famous expression: "History is politics turned to the past." Yurovsky's note is a fake. Since it's a fake, you can't find a grave from it. This is now a proven issue.

- It has and legal side…

It is also full of oddities and absurdities. We originally asked that all this be displayed on the right field. In 1991, Avdonin, who found the grave, applied to the Verkh-Isetsky District Department of Internal Affairs of Yekaterinburg with a statement about the find. From there, they turn to the regional prosecutor's office, and a prosecutor's check is appointed. The grave has been opened. Further it is not clear. A criminal case is not initiated, and within the framework of this check, a prosecutor's examination is appointed. This is already a clear contradiction. That is, they should have initiated a criminal case in connection with the discovery of remains that had signs of violent death. Article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. As a result, a criminal case is initiated under article 102. A murder committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy. This is where the real politics comes in. Because a simple question arises: if you are taking a case on the circumstances of the death of the royal family, then who should you involve as suspects in the murder? Sverdlov, Lenin, Dzerzhinsky - the city of Moscow? Or Beloborodov, Voikov, Goloshchekin - this is the Ural Council, Yekaterinburg. Against whom will you file a case if they are all dead?

That is, a priori, the case is illegal, and it had no judicial prospects. But under Article 102 it is easier to prove that these are the remains of the Romanov family, or rather, it is easier to ignore the arguments. How was it necessary to act if everything was done according to the law? You must set a statute of limitations, find out that no one can be held liable. The criminal case is to be closed. Next, you need to take the case to court, accept a judicial decision to establish the identity of the person, and then decide on the issue of the funeral. But it was unprofitable for the Prosecutor General's Office. She spent public money, feigning violent activity. That is, it was pure politics. Considering that huge federal budget money was pumped into this business.

The Prosecutor General's Office initiates a case under Article 102 and closes it due to the belonging of the remains to Nicholas II. It's the same difference as between sour and salty. Moreover, the decision on the remains was made not by the court, but by the government of the Russian Federation during the time of Chernomyrdin. The government decides by voting that these are the remains of the royal family. Is this a judgment? Naturally, no.

Moreover, the Prosecutor General's Office represented by Solovyov is seeking to issue a death certificate. I will quote him: “The death certificate was issued to Romanov Nikolai Alexandrovich. Born May 6, 1868. Place of birth unknown. Education unknown. The place of residence before the arrest is unknown. The place of work before the arrest is unknown. Cause of death - shooting. The place of death was the basement of a residential building in the city of Yekaterinburg. Can you tell me who issued this certificate? Do you know where he was born? You don't even know that he was an emperor? This is the real mockery!

- What is the position of the Church?

She does not recognize these remains as authentic, seeing all these contradictions. The church initially divided the two issues - the remains separately, and the names separately. And then, realizing that the government will bury these remains, the Church accepts only correct solution from the series "God Knows Their Names". Here is the paradox. The Church buries under the motto "God knows their names", Yeltsin, under pressure from the Church, buries some victims civil war. The question is: who do we bury at all?

What do you think was the purpose of this whole thing? The argument to travel abroad is still weak. The level of play is still somewhat higher ...

But the banal reason is in the other direction. When did interest in the Romanovs arise? It was then when Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev, and then Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachev, tried to improve relations with Buckingham Palace. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II said that she would not come to Russia until they apologized to her for the fate of Nicholas II. Nicholas II and her father are cousins. And she went only after they apologized to her. That is, all stages of the appearance and study of these remains are closely related to political events.

The autopsy of the remains took place a few days before the meeting between Gorbachev and Thatcher. As for Britain as such, there, in the bank of the Baring brothers, there is gold, personal gold of Nicholas II. Five and a half tons. They cannot give out this gold until Nicholas II is declared dead. Not even missing. Because no one was wanted. Therefore, he is not missing. According to the laws of Great Britain, the absence of a corpse and the absence of documents declaring a wanted list means that the person is alive. In this situation, apparently hoping that it will be possible to process some relatives, the authorities decide to search for the remains and conduct a poor-quality examination.

- But even after that, the Baring brothers' bank did not issue gold ...

It was not by chance that the Prosecutor General's Office issued a death certificate. And a group of citizens applied to the bank for money. But the bank does not recognize this document. They need a solution Russian court that Nicholas II died and these are his remains.

- And why are relatives ready to worship someone else's grave, if only they were given gold?

For most of the relatives, of course, finding a genuine grave is more important than gold. They tried to get them into this dirty game. Many refused, but some of the Romanovs nevertheless came to Yekaterinburg for the funeral.

What do you propose to do now, when you have such powerful people like Japanese scientists?

Let's return the case strictly to the legal field. Let's take it to court. The court will reject the system of evidence Prosecutor General's Office. Since there are already two judicial rulings in Germany on the recognition of the Yekaterinburg remains as Filatov's relatives. That is, you still need to determine whose remains they are, and transfer them to relatives, let them decide where to bury them. That is, the procedure for the removal of the remains from the Peter and Paul Cathedral looms.

- Do you know whose remains are these?

According to German scientists, these are the remains of the Filatovs, the twins of Nicholas II. And Nicholas II had seven families of twins. This is also a well-known fact. The system of twins began with Alexander the First. When, as a result of a conspiracy, his father Emperor Paul the First was killed, he was afraid that Paul's people would kill him. He gave the command to pick up three doubles for himself. Historically, it is known that there were two assassination attempts on him. Both times he remained alive, because doubles died. Alexander II had no twins. Alexander the Third had doubles after the famous train crash in Borki. Nicholas II had twins after Bloody Sunday 1905. Moreover, these were specially selected families. Only in last moment very narrow circle people learned which route and in which carriage Nicholas II would go. And so the same departure of all three carriages was made. In which of them Nikolai II was sitting is unknown. Documents about this lie in the archives of the third branch of the office of His Imperial Majesty. And the Bolsheviks, having seized the archive in 1917, naturally received the names of all the twins. Further, Sergey Davydovich Berezkin appears in Sukhumi, ideally similar to Nicholas II. His wife is Surovtseva Alexandra Feodorovna, a copy of the Empress. And his children are Olga, Tatyana, Maria, Anastasia. They covered the king.

FSB. From there, after all, at one time, in 1955, information was leaked that a grave near Yekaterinburg was opened in 1946. Although there is a doctor's opinion medical sciences Popov, that the grave is 50 years old, not 80. As we say, in the Romanov case, he answered one question - another 20 arose. The case is so confusing. It's cleaner than the Kennedy assassination. Because the information is strictly dosed.

- What was the point in 1946 to climb into this grave?

Perhaps it was created at that time. Recall that in 1946 Anna Andersen, a resident of Denmark, tried to get royal gold. By starting the second process of recognizing himself as Anastasia. Her first process did not end with anything, it lasted until the mid-30s. Then she paused and in 1946 filed a lawsuit again. Stalin, apparently, decided that it would be better to make a grave where "Anastasia" would lie, than to explain these issues to the West. There are far-reaching plans, many of which we do not even know about. We can only guess.

- Did the Filatovs live at that time?

Don't know. Filatov's trail is lost.

- And what kind of relatives did the scientist Bonte communicate with?

He talked with Oleg Vasilyevich Filatov. This is the son of Filatov, who, according to some sources, portrayed Nikolai himself, according to others - Alexei. Obviously, Oleg himself heard the ringing, but does not know where he is. The German compared his analyzes with the German relatives of the Filatovs and with the Yekaterinburg remains. And got a 100% match. After all, no one denies this expertise. They are silent about her. Although in Germany it has the status of a judicial one. No one has ever talked about doppelgangers. I somehow hinted in one interview, they told me that I was crazy, although I was raising a problem that really existed.

- What do you intend to do in the future?

We would like to create a discussion club, to hold a series of Internet conferences. In September, the well-known historian Vladlen Sirotkin is due to arrive in Yekaterinburg. He is collecting documents on Russia's claim to the debts of the West. According to him, not only do we owe the West, but the West also owes us. The amount of debt is 400 billion dollars. We owe the Czech Republic, England, France, America, Japan, Germany, Italy. A lot of money was sent to the West for the purchase of weapons during the First World War. These were pledges for future deliveries. But there were no deliveries. Our property is there. Here is the question price, which is really behind all this. We need to show that the problem is multifaceted. It is very important for us that we went against the government, official authorities, including the government of the Sverdlovsk region. We have been persecuted for the sake of establishing historical truth.

According to official history, on the night of July 16-17, 1918, Nicholas II, along with his wife and children, was shot. After the burial was opened and identified, the remains were reburied in 1998 in the tomb of the Peter and Paul Cathedral in St. Petersburg. However, then the ROC did not confirm their authenticity.

“I cannot rule out that the church will recognize the royal remains as authentic if convincing evidence of their authenticity is found and if the examination is open and honest,” said Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk, head of the Department for External Church Relations of the Moscow Patriarchate, in July this year. In December, all the conclusions of the Investigative Committee and the commission of the Russian Orthodox Church will be considered by the Council of Bishops. It is he who will decide on the attitude of the church to the Yekaterinburg remains.

Almost Detective story with the remains

As you know, the Russian Orthodox Church did not participate in the burial of the remains of the royal family in 1998, explaining this by the fact that the church is not sure whether the true remains of the royal family are buried. The Russian Orthodox Church refers to the book of the Kolchak investigator Nikolai Sokolov, who concluded that all the bodies were burned. Some of the remains collected by Sokolov at the place of burning are stored in Brussels, in the church of St. Job the Long-suffering, and they have not been examined.

For the first time, researchers were led to the place of discovery of the remains (on the Old Koptyakovskaya Road) by Yurovsky's note, in which he describes in detail where and how he buried the corpses of the royal family. But why did the malicious murderer give a detailed report to his descendants, where should they look for evidence of the crime? Moreover, a number of modern historians put forward the version that Yurovsky belonged to occult sect and certainly was not interested in the further veneration of the holy relics by believers. If he wanted to confuse the investigation in this way, then he definitely achieved his goal - the case of the murder of Nicholas II and his family under the symbolic number 18666 long years shrouded in a halo of mystery and contains a lot of conflicting data

Is Yurovsky's note authentic, on the basis of which the authorities were looking for a burial place? And now, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor Buranov, finds in the archive a handwritten note written by Mikhail Nikolaevich Pokrovsky, and by no means Yakov Mikhailovich Yurovsky. The grave is clearly marked there. That is, the note is a priori false. Pokrovsky was the first director of the Rosarkhiv. It was used by Stalin when history had to be rewritten. He has a famous expression: "History is politics turned into the past." Since Yurovsky's note was a fake, it was impossible to detect a burial from it.

And now, in the upcoming year of the 100th anniversary of the execution of the Romanov family, the Russian Orthodox Church has been instructed to give a final answer to all the dark places of execution near Yekaterinburg. To obtain a final answer under the auspices of the Russian Orthodox Church, research has been conducted for several years. Once again, historians, geneticists, graphologists, pathologists and other specialists are rechecking the facts, again powerful scientific forces and the powers of the prosecutor's office are involved, and all these actions again take place under a dense veil of secrecy.

But at the same time, no one remembers that after the capture of Yekaterinburg by the Whites, in turn, three commissions of the Whites made an unequivocal conclusion - there was no execution. Neither the Reds nor the Whites wanted to disclose this information. The Bolsheviks were interested in the money of the king, and Kolchak declared himself the Supreme Ruler of Russia, which could not be with a living sovereign. Before investigator Sokolov, the only investigator who published a book about the execution of the royal family, there were investigators Malinovsky, Nametkin (his archive was burned along with his house), Sergeev (dismissed and killed). Commissions of Inquiry cited facts and testimonies refuting the execution. But they were soon forgotten, since the 4th commission of Sokolov and Diteriks essentially fabricated the case of the execution of the Romanovs. They did not bring any facts to prove their theory, just as the investigators did not bring any facts in the 90s.

In the fall of 2015, investigators resumed the investigation into the death of members of the Romanov family. Currently, research on genetic identification is carried out by four independent groups of scientists. Two of them are foreign, working directly with the ROC. In early July 2017, Bishop Tikhon (Shevkunov) of Yegoryevsky, the secretary of the church commission for studying the results of the study of the remains found near Yekaterinburg, said: a large number of new circumstances and new documents were discovered. For example, Sverdlov's order to execute Nicholas II was found. In addition, according to the results of recent research, forensic scientists confirmed that the remains of the king and queen belong to them, since a trace was suddenly found on the skull of Nicholas II, which is interpreted as a trace from a saber blow he received when visiting Japan. As for the queen, dentists identified her by the world's first porcelain veneers on platinum pins. Currently, expert examinations are also being carried out related to the establishment of the authenticity of the remains found in 2007, possibly Tsarevich Alexei and Grand Duchess Mary.

Although, if you open the conclusion of the commission, written before the burial in 1998, it says: the bones of the sovereign's skull are so destroyed that the characteristic callus cannot be found. The same conclusion noted severe damage to the teeth of the alleged remains of Nikolai by periodontal disease, since this person had never been to the dentist. This confirms that it was not the tsar who was shot, since the records of the Tobolsk dentist, whom Nikolai turned to, remained. In addition, the fact that the growth of the skeleton of "Princess Anastasia" is 13 centimeters larger than her lifetime growth has not yet been found. Shevkunov did not say a word about the genetic examination, and this despite the fact that the genetic studies of 2003, conducted by Russian and American specialists, showed that the genome of the body of the alleged Empress and her sister Elizabeth Feodorovna do not match, which means there is no relationship.

In addition, in the museum of the city of Otsu (Japan) there are things left after the injury of the policeman Nicholas II. They have biological material that can be examined. According to them, Japanese geneticists from the Tatsuo Nagai group proved that the DNA of the remains of "Nicholas II" from near Yekaterinburg (and his family) does not 100% match the DNA of biomaterials from Japan. Publication by Japanese geneticists of the results of the study of human remains, which are official Russian authorities recognized as the remains of the family of Nikolai Romanov, made a lot of noise. After analyzing the DNA structures of the Yekaterinburg remains and comparing them with the DNA analysis of the brother of Nicholas II, Grand Duke Georgy Romanov, the natural nephew of Emperor Tikhon Kulikovsky-Romanov, and DNA taken from sweat particles from the imperial clothes, Tatsuo Nagai, a professor at the Tokyo Institute of Microbiology, came to the conclusion that the remains , discovered near Yekaterinburg, do not belong to Nicholas II and members of his family. The results of this examination showed the obvious incompetence of the entire government commission, which was created under the leadership of Boris Nemtsov. Tatsuo Nagai's conclusions are a very strong argument that is difficult to refute.

This gave particular weight to the arguments of that group of historians and geneticists who are sure that in 1998 absolutely alien remains were buried in the Peter and Paul Fortress under the guise of the imperial family with great fanfare. Neither the leadership of the Russian Church, nor representatives of the Romanov family came to the pretentious burial of the Yekaterinburg remains. Moreover, then Patriarch Alexy II took the word from Boris Yeltsin that he would not call the remains royal.

There are also the results of a genetic examination of the President of the International Association of Forensic Physicians, Mr. Bonte from Düsseldorf. According to German scientists, these are the remains of the Filatovs, the twins of Nicholas II. Nicholas II had seven families of twins. The system of twins began with Alexander the First. Historically, it is known that there were two assassination attempts on him. Both times he remained alive, because doubles died. Alexander II had no twins. Alexander the Third had doubles after the famous train crash in Borki. Nicholas II had twins after Bloody Sunday 1905. Moreover, these were specially selected families. Only at the last moment did a very narrow circle of people find out which route and in which carriage Nicholas II would go. And so the same departure of all three carriages was made. In which of them Nikolai II was sitting is unknown. Documents about this lie in the archives of the third branch of the office of His Imperial Majesty. The Bolsheviks, having seized the archive in 1917, naturally received the names of all the doubles.

Perhaps, from the remains of the Filatovs in 1946, the “remains of the royal family” were created? It is known that in 1946 Anna Andersen, a resident of Denmark, tried to get royal gold. By starting the second process of recognizing himself as Anastasia. Her first process did not end with anything, it lasted until the mid-30s. Then she paused and in 1946 filed a lawsuit again. Stalin, apparently, decided that it would be better to make a grave where "Anastasia" would lie, than to explain these issues to the West.

Further, the very place of execution of the Romanovs, the Ipatiev House, was demolished in 1977. In the mid-70s of the XX century, the government of the USSR was very worried about increased attention foreigners to the house of engineer Ipatiev. In 1978, two round dates were planned at once: the 110th anniversary of the birth of Nicholas II and the 60th anniversary of his assassination. In order to avoid the hype surrounding the Ipatiev house, KGB chairman Yuri Andropov proposed that it be demolished. final decision about the destruction of the mansion was accepted by Boris Yeltsin, who then held the post of first secretary of the Sverdlovsk regional committee of the Communist Party.

The Ipatiev House, which stood for almost 90 years, was razed to the ground in September 1977. For this, the destroyers took 3 days, a bulldozer and a ball-woman. The official pretext for the destruction of the building was the planned reconstruction of the city center. But it is possible that this is not the case at all - the microparticles that meticulous researchers could find could already at that time refute the legend of the execution of the royal family, and give other versions of events and their defendants! Then there was already, albeit inaccurate, genetic analysis.

Financial background

As you know, in the bank of the Baring brothers, there is gold, personal gold of Nicholas II weighing five and a half tons. There is a long-term study by Professor Vladlen Sirotkin (MGIMO) “Foreign Gold of Russia” (M., 2000), where the gold and other holdings of the Romanov family accumulated in the accounts of Western banks are also estimated at no less than 400 billion dollars, and together with investments - in more than 2 trillion dollars! In the absence of Romanov heirs, the closest relatives turn out to be members of the English royal family... These are the interests of which may be the background of many events of the 19th-21st centuries... But the bank cannot give them this gold until Nicholas II is declared dead. According to the laws of Great Britain, the absence of a corpse and the absence of documents declaring a wanted list means that the person is alive.

By the way, it is not clear (or, on the contrary, it is understandable) for what reasons the royal house of England denied asylum three times to the Romanov family. And this despite the fact that the mothers of George V and Nicholas II were sisters. In the surviving correspondence, Nicholas II and George V call each other "Cousin Nicky" and "Cousin Georgie" - they were cousins, almost peers, spent a lot of time together and were very similar in appearance.

At that time, 440 tons of gold from the gold reserves of Russia and 5.5 tons of personal gold of Nicholas II were in England as collateral for military loans. Now think about it: if the royal family died, then to whom would the gold go? Close relatives! Isn't that the reason why Cousin Georgie was denied admission to Cousin Nicky's family? To get gold, its owners had to die. Officially. And now all this must be connected with the burial of the royal family, which will officially testify that the owners of untold wealth are dead.

Versions of life after death

The first version: the royal family was shot near Yekaterinburg, and their remains, with the exception of Alexei and Maria, were reburied in St. Petersburg. The remains of these children were found in 2007, all examinations were carried out on them, and they, apparently, will be buried on the day of the 100th anniversary of the tragedy. When confirming this version, it is necessary for accuracy to once again identify all the remains and repeat all examinations, especially genetic and pathological anatomical ones.

The second version: the royal family was not shot, but was scattered throughout Russia and all family members died of natural causes, having lived their lives in Russia or abroad, while a family of twins was shot in Yekaterinburg.

The surviving members of the royal family were watched by people from the KGB, where a special department was created for this, which was dissolved during perestroika. The archive of this department has been preserved. The royal family was saved by Stalin - the royal family was evacuated from Yekaterinburg through Perm to Moscow and fell into the hands of Trotsky, then People's Commissar of Defense. To further save the royal family, Stalin carried out a whole operation, stealing it from Trotsky's people and taking them to Sukhumi, to a specially built house next to the former house of the royal family. From there, all family members were distributed to different places, Maria and Anastasia were taken to the Glinskaya Hermitage (Sumy Region), then Maria was transported to the Nizhny Novgorod Region, where she died of illness on May 24, 1954. Anastasia subsequently married Stalin's personal bodyguard and lived very secluded on a small farm, died

June 27, 1980 in the Volgograd region. The eldest daughters, Olga and Tatyana, were sent to the Serafimo-Diveevsky convent - the empress was settled not far from the girls. But they did not live here for long. Olga, having traveled through Afghanistan, Europe and Finland, settled in Vyritsa, Leningrad Region, where she died on January 19, 1976. Tatyana lived partly in Georgia, partly in the territory of the Krasnodar Territory, was buried in the Krasnodar Territory, died on September 21, 1992. Alexei and his mother lived in their dacha, then Alexei was transferred to Leningrad, where he was “made” a biography, and the whole world recognized him as a party and Soviet leader Alexei Nikolaevich Kosygin (Stalin sometimes called him a prince in front of everyone). Nicholas II lived and died in Nizhny Novgorod (December 22, 1958), and the tsarina died in the village of Starobelskaya, Lugansk region, on April 2, 1948, and was subsequently reburied in Nizhny Novgorod, where she and the emperor share a common grave. Three daughters of Nicholas II, except for Olga, had children. N.A. Romanov talked with I.V. Stalin, and the wealth of the Russian Empire was used to strengthen the power of the USSR ...

On the attitude of believers to the remains attributed to the royal family and unsolved mysteries There are many legends about the assassination of the emperor.

The royal family was canonized in 2000, and in the Peter and Paul Cathedral it became possible to perform a prayer service to the royal martyrs in the center of the church. Who believed in the Yekaterinburg remains - went to the Catherine's chapel, who did not believe - did not go. Everything is very democratic, calm.

Archimandrite Alexander (Fedorov)States that his experience as a priest shows that the Orthodox people have a strong intuition, they subtly feel falsehood. Honoring the royal family recent times really intensifies, and if we talk about the topographical expression of this veneration, then the main place, of course, is Ganina Yama near Yekaterinburg and the Cathedral of the Royal Passion-Bearers, built on the site of the Ipatiev House.

Neither the Porosenkov log, where the remains were found in 91, nor the Catherine's aisle of the Peter and Paul Cathedral are such objects.

Bishop Yegorievsk Tikhon reported that the results of studies of the alleged remains of family members of the latter Russian emperor Nicholas II, so-called "Ekaterinburg remains" are expected by the end of the second quarter of 2017.

We hope that, since the work is very voluminous and the report will be very large, somewhere by the end of the second quarter current year we will be able to present the results: the investigators - to the Investigative Committee, and we - to the upcoming Bishops' Council, - said Vladyka Tikhon.

As for the issue of recognizing the found remains as relics, here, according to the bishop, “only the Council of Bishops will make the final conclusions,” which will be held from November 29 to December 2, 2017.

The representative of the Church noted that the investigators “have already discovered a lot of interesting, fundamentally important things,” but so far this information cannot be disclosed, since the investigation is still ongoing.

In July 1991, a burial was opened on Staraya Koptyakovskaya Road near Yekaterinburg, which contained the remains of nine people.

According to the study, they belonged to members of the royal family - Emperor Nicholas II, his wife Alexandra Feodorovna, their daughters - Olga, Tatiana, Anastasia as well as those around them. Later, members of the imperial family were buried in the tomb of the Peter and Paul Cathedral in St. Petersburg.

July 29, 2007 during the archaeological sites 70 km south of the first burial site, the remains of two more people were found. According to the examinations, these are the remains of the Tsarevich Alexey and his sisters Mary.

In January 2011, the Investigative Committee of Russia completed the investigation of the criminal case on the death of the family of Nicholas II, recognizing the remains found near Yekaterinburg as authentic.

Skeptics immediately dismissed this news, because the Bolsheviks shot the emperor along with his family. However, the alleged descendant imperial family claims to have hard evidence.

Konstantin Sevenard, a native of Nizhny Novgorod, descends from French nobles who became Russified back in the 19th century. He claims that his grandmother Tselina Kshesinskaya is the daughter of the legendary ballerina Matilda Kshesinskaya and Nicholas II. Rumors about this stormy romance of the Russian autocrat and prima of the Mariinsky Theater have haunted many historians all these years.

After studying the old photos, the Sevenards came to the conclusion that they are much more noble than they thought before. Fedor Konstantinovich claims that the six-year-old boy in one of the photos of 1911 is his father. And on the left is the ballerina Matilda Kshesinskaya with a stroller. But who is in it? Perhaps the answer is in another photo taken a little earlier. The ballet star poses as if trying to hide her swollen waist. Fedor is sure that in fact she was pregnant with his mother.

In the laboratory, DNA will be isolated from the cell material and compared with the data of Nicholas II, the site writes. Relatives repeat entire sections of the genetic year, so the probability of error is almost reduced to zero.
