The Last Days of the Russian Imperial family after the Russian Revolution of 1917, and the desperate hope that some of the family actually survived their captivity and that terrible night. . . some of this is true.
Based on excerpts of journals and letters of the Imperial Romanov family and their friends, before and during the Soviet Revolution, plus other contemporaneous accounts of the Imperial internment, and rumors of Romanov survivors.

1917: Europe was enraged in World War when revolution began within Russia. By March of 1917, Tsar Nicholas II was forced to abdicate after 300 years of Romanov rule. He joined his family under house arrest at Tsarskoe Selo—the Tsar's compound south of St. Petersburg. Months later, the family and some of the household staff were moved to Tobolsk, in Siberia. The new communist government pulled Russia out of the European war, but counter-revolution was brewing within. Eventually, the Imperial family were sent to Ekaterinburg, in the Urals, to a House of Special Purpose . . . and were never seen again.
