Artist impression of the murder of the Russian Imperial Romanov family (Tsar Nicholas II, his wife Tsarina Alexandra and their five children Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia, and Alexei) and all those who chose to accompany them into imprisonment--notably Eugene Botkin, Anna Demidova, Alexei Trupp and Ivan Kharitonov--were shot, bayoneted and clubbed to death[1] in Yekaterinburg on the night of 16-17 July 1918. The Tsar and his family were killed by several Bolshevik troops including Peter Ermakov, and led by Yakov Yurovsky under the orders of the Ural Regional Soviet and according to instructions by Lenin, Yakov Sverdlov and Felix Dzerzhinsky.
