Younger children kept on studying – their farther taught them Russian history. Sometimes amateur performances were held.

  12. Family told to pack to leave.Photos first - July 1918

  13. They were brought into a room, lined up and shot.

  14. The killers deposited their victims' bodies, which had been mutilated, burned, and doused with acid to mask their origins. It would be 73 more years, in 1991, before the remains would be reclaimed and the announcement would ring out: The grave of the last Russian czar, Nicholas II, and his family had been found.

  15. Eleven people were said to have been killed that day in July 1918 on Lenin's orders. Nine sets of remains were dug up here and then authenticated using DNA. The remains of the czar's son, Aleksei, and one daughter, whose identity is still not absolutely clear, were missing. Did their bones lie elsewhere, or could it be that they had escaped execution, as rumor had it for so long?
