How exactly did the Romanovs die?

Question

all the little details if you know plz

Answer 1

They were herded into a cellar and hand grenades were then thrown down.some of the Imperial family did not die immediately and were heard to be praying for quite some time after.

Answer 2

they were assassinated, shot

Answer 3

they were collected in the night and shipped from spot to spot until they were killed in July of 1917

Answer 4

They were lined up and shot like criminals.

Answer 5

They were captured, taken to a house near the Ural Mts., and then a couple of months later, they were taken down to a small room and shot.  The Czar,Czarina, and four children (three girls and a boy) were shot several times each.  No one knows ezactly what they did with the bodies.  It was rumored that Anastasia survived, and escaped with the help of someone.  For a while a woman who eventually made it to the U.S. claimed to be her, but it was not so.  Rumors also flew about the survival of Alexie, but since he was a Hemophiliac, it is highly unlikely that he could have survived being riddled with bullets.  A while ago, some bodies were discoverd in a mine, and people thought that it could have been them.  I did not find out whether they actually found the bodies or not.

Answer 6

The Romanov family was murdered at Ekateringburg on July 17th, 1918. On the night of July 17th, the family was awoken and told that there was trouble in Ekateringburg. They were told that they would be safer in the basement of the house they were staying in. The whole family, the family doctor (Botkin) and three servants went to the basement. The 11 people trooped across a courtyard and through a door into the dimly lit room. Under Yurovsky's direction the group arranged itself around the head of the family as if for a family snapshot. A few words were spoken, and suddenly the doorway filled with men, 12 of them, bunched in rows of three, a tangle of outstretched arms all holding revolvers. As they opened fire, recalled one executioner, "they were so close to each other that whoever was standing in front got a burn on his wrist from the shots of his neighbor behind." Smoke, screams and blood engulfed the tiny space as bullets flew around, some ricocheting weirdly off the women, who were later found to be wearing jewels sewn into their corsets. And still some lived, little  Alexei was shot twice in the ear before he was finally killed. They were bludgeoned with rifle butts and bayoneted until the moaning ceased.

Answer 7

The Romanovs rule in Russia ended with the February Revolution toward the end of the First World War. The immediate Imperial Family (the Tsar, his wife and their children) were transported across Russia and finally held prisoner at Ipatiev House.

The consistent story is that at some time during the night of 16/17 July, 1918, the Imperial Family and some of their loyal servants were summoned to the basement of Ipatiev House and seated in a room to have their photo taken. Yakov Yurovsky entered the room with Bolshevik police and read an execution order whereupon the police opened fire on the Imperial Family.

There are accounts of bullets bouncing off of the bodies of the grand duchesses because of jewels sewn into their corsets for safekeeping and the perpetual rumour that a daughter and the son, a hemophiliac, survived. The bodies were discovered decades after having been buried and identified using DNA from surviving near relatives.

Other Romanovs who didn't flee Russia were round up and executed, notably the Tsarina Alexandra's sister, who married an uncle, Sergius, of Alexandra's husband Nicholas. The Grand Duchess Elizabeth was, at the time, an Orthodox nun who ran a convent and was thrown into a mineshaft with a number of Russian princes and had grenades tossed down at them. Elizabeth survived the fall into the mineshaft apparently, but died sometime before her body was discovered in October 1918.

Answer 10

After the February Revolution, Nicholas II and his family were placed under house arrest. Several members of the royal family, including Grand Duke Cyril Vladimirovich of Russia, managed to establish good relations with the interim government and eventually fled the country during the October Revolution.

On July 17, 1918, Bolshevik authorities, led by Yakov Yurovsky, shot Nicholas II, his immediate family, and four servant members in the cellar of the Ipatiev House in Ekaterinburg, Russia. The family was told that they would be photographed to prove to the people that they were still alive. The family was arranged appropriately and left alone for several minutes. Soon the very people that were protecting them entered and shot them. At first the girls did not die because of the jewels sewn into their corsets. These jewels were for protection but also so that the family could have some money for when they fled the country. The shooters were horrified at how the girls were able to withstand the bullets and feared that the family really was in power due to divine right (the idea that Kings and Queens are placed on the throne by God). To solve that problem, the shooters tried to stab them with bayonets. That failed, too, because of the jewels, so then, they were shot in the head at close range. Ironically, the Ipatiev House has the same name as the Ipatiev Monastery in Kostroma, where Mikhail Romanov had been offered the Russian crown in 1613. The spot where the Ipatiev House once stood has recently been commemorated by a magnificent cathedral "on the blood." After years of controversy, Nikolai II and his family were proclaimed passion-bearers by the Russian Orthodox church in 2000. (In orthodoxy, a passion-bearer is a saint who was not killed because of his faith like a martyr but died in faith at the hand of murderers.)
