What happened to Anastasia Romanov?

Question

Did she survive? If not then where are her remains?

Answer 1

she was most likely killed with the rest of the Romanov's. but, rumors have persisted that she survived.

Answer 2

Well as the story goes, she was shot and thrown down an acid filled mine shaft to a mass grave with her family by the Bolsheviks, but somehow they say that she survived...

Answer 3

They found the remains of most of the Romanovs several years ago.  Czar Nicholas, Czarina Alexandra, and all but one of the girls.  One of the girls and Alexei were missing, but the remains of those two bodies were found and identified last year.  

It is believed that Anastasia was in the mass grave and it was Marie that was found with Alexei.  

Where they found the bodies corresponds exactly with an account left by one of the executioners.  DNA was used to confirm their identities.  

The woman who claimed to be Anastasia (Anna Anderson) was found not to be related to the Romanovs at all.

Keep in mind that Anastasia would be nearly a hundred years old by now.  I think its time you let her rest in peace.

Answer 4

My understanding is that they found her remains with the rest of the Romanov Imperial family - proved by DNA testing.

Answer 5

She was killed. They dug up the Romanov's remains a few years ago, and believe they found hers, too. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Duche...

for more information. Because the story is so intriguing, people like to remember the stuff about her being missing, and forget the stuff about her remains being found.

Answer 6

She was killed. But I'll tell you where her myth originates from. When the Romanov's tried to escape from the Bolsheviks, they took some of the jewellery with them. Anastacia put the diamonds under her dress, so when the Bolsheviks shot at them with their rifles, they had to shoot Anastacia a couple of times because the diamonds protected her. This, obviously, triggered the imagination of some people.

Answer 7

with the discovery of the last two bodies a while back, all the romanovs have been accounted for, some question which sister was found with alexi's cremated remains ,but all of them have been conclusivly established as being killed by the bolshevics..the other members had been accounted for,but there were two missing alexi and one of the girls,belived to be anastasia, DNA proved the last two bodies found to also be the czars immediate family so thats all of them. No more anastasia mystery.

Answer 8

It is proven that the DNA for Ana Anderson was not the same as Anastasia and I believe she was  killed with the rest of the family in 1918 at Ekaterinberg. It is out of distrust of the USSR and a romantic look that probably proposed some of the theories saying that Anastasia survived the killing.
