The Romanov Family and the Mystery of Anastasia

In 1918, the Russian Revolution led to the arrest and execution of Tsar Nicholas II and his family. Myths about the survival of Anastasia Romanov persisted for decades, with Anna Anderson claiming to be her. In 1991, remains believed to be the Romanovs were found in Siberia. Forensic analysis and DNA testing confirmed the identities of most family members, but Anastasia and Alexei were missing. Anna Anderson's claim was disproven through DNA, revealing her true identity as Franziska Schankowska. The Romanovs were buried in 1998, but the mystery of the missing children endures.
