*Hi guys, sorry for the delay in updating this. Research has hit a little bump - I'm starting my Master's degree soon and I'm trying to catch up on all my studies. So much to do, so few hours in the day, and such a hard time trying to maintain focus. Procrastination and mental blocks are such a pain in the arse.*
We have the victims. Now we need to look into the people of interest.
There's the notorious Rasputin, who was killed not that long before the Royals and rumoured to be taking advantage of the Grand Duchesses and the Tsarina.
There's Tsar Nicholas' mother, Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna, who refused to accept her son's death until the end of her days. She was adamant that he, his wife and children all survived, and there are rumours that she smuggled Alexei out of Russia with her as she fled.
There are the guards - those who were enamoured with the Grand Duchesses, who wanted to save them, marry them and have that claim to the throne. And there are those who murdered the Romanovs in that basement.
And lastly, but arguably most importantly, there are the foreign governments and royals who fought hard to save the Romanovs. The British King who loved Nicholas like a brother. The German Kaiser, driven by familial piety. The Spanish. Even the Japanese were all attempting to rescue the Romanovs from their Bolshevik captors.
Only once these people of interest have been assessed can we begin to assess the rumours and theories at the Romanovs' survival.
