The execution

On July 16, 1918 is when the Romanov execution took place. Yurovsky also known as the "dark man" went upstairs to awaken the family. He told the family that he needed photographs of them because the people in Moscow were worried they have escaped. He told the family that they have decided to execute them. They shot the Tsar first, than Alexandra and Olga. They continued to stab the rest of the children. While they were removing the bodies, and came to Anastasia's she began to scream. Ever since the massacre has took place, there has been two missing corpses, the body of Anastasia and her brother Alexei. Historians believe that Anastasia has escaped and lost unconsciousness and moved on with her life. Another concept  is that they did the burning very well, and they never found the bodies.
