Who was Anastasia?

Question

controversy?

Answer 1

A singer

Answer 2

She was the daughter of Czar Nicolas and Czarina Alexandra. She was murdered with her whole family when the Bolsheviks overthrew the monarchy. There was another woman that claimed to be her. She

said she escaped from the room where everyone else was shot. Her DNA proved that she wasn't a member of the Romanoff family.

Answer 3

Anastasia Romanov.  It was rumored that she escaped.

Answer 4

Her Imperial Highness Grand Duchess Anastasia of Russia (June 18,1901 — July 17, 1918), was the youngest daughter of Czar Nicholas II of Russia, the last sovereign of Imperial Russia, and his wife Alexandra Fyodorovna. She is presumed to have been murdered with her family on July 17, 1918, by forces of the Bolshevik secret police. However, rumors have persisted of her possible escape since 1918, fueled by reports that two sets of remains, identified as Alexei Nikolaevich, Tsarevich of Russia, and either Anastasia or her elder sister Maria, were missing from a mass grave found near Ekaterinburg and later identified through DNA testing as the Romanovs.

In January 2008 Russian scientists announced that the charred remains of a young boy and a young woman found near Ekaterinburg in August 2007 are most likely those of the thirteen-year-old Tsarevich and one of the four Romanov grand duchesses. Final results of the DNA testing are scheduled to be announced later in April or May 2008.

The missing Grand Duchess Anastasia mystery may be solved using DNA tests results, which is scheduled to be announced within months on bone fragments found in Russia last year. The tension is building up since this could prove that none of the Czar Nicholas II's family escaped execution in the Bolshevik Revolution — not even Anastasia, the teenage princess whose identity various women have claimed over the decades.

Answer 9

Anastasia was the daughter of the "last czar" of Russia,Nicholas II and Alexandra Fedorovna,born princess of Hesse-Darmstadt.

Their entire family was executed,but the remains were scattered,leading many to think that two children had escaped. A woman, Anna Anderson,who may have been connected to the family in some way,was an amnesiac who's only memories caused her to believe that she was the daughter,Alexandra.But,two years ago,it was discovered that the partial remains,a skull and some other bones,were indeed Anastasia and her brother's.

Answer 10

I HOPE THIS ONE HELPS.. did this with full effort.

first, if you happen to watch the 'Anastasia' movie  by 21st Century Fox, well then, you'll have something in your mind..

she is a daughter of the Last Czar of Russia and was threatened to be killed by Rasputin..

but here is the real deal.

she was the daughter of the Last Czar od russia and is a Romanov.

Her Imperial Highness Grand Duchess Anastasia of Russia (Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanov,  (June 18 [O.S. June 5] 1901 — July 17, 1918), was the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, the last sovereign of Imperial Russia, and his wife Alexandra Fyodorovna.

Anastasia was a younger sister of Grand Duchess Olga, Grand Duchess Tatiana and Grand Duchess Maria, and was an elder sister of Alexei Nikolaievitch, Tsarevitch of Russia. She is presumed to have been murdered with her family on July 17, 1918, by forces of the Bolshevik secret police. However, rumors have persisted of her possible escape since 1918, fueled by reports that two sets of remains, identified as Alexei Nikolaevich, Tsarevich of Russia, and either Anastasia or her elder sister Maria, were missing from a mass grave found near Ekaterinburg and later identified through DNA testing as the Romanovs. In January 2008 Russian scientists announced that the charred remains of a young boy and a young woman found near Ekaterinburg in August 2007 are most likely those of the thirteen-year-old Tsarevich and one of the four Romanov grand duchesses. Final results of the DNA testing are scheduled to be announced later in April or May 2008.

Several women have claimed to have been Anastasia, the most famous of whom was Anna Anderson. Anderson's body was cremated upon her death in 1984. Despite support for her claim from several people who knew Anastasia and denial by many who knew the real Anastasia, DNA testing in 1994 on pieces of Anderson's tissue and hair showed no relation to DNA of the Grand Duchess.
