To be honest,there is only one organisation that I would instantly believe if they would come up with such a find.

Independent examination (and DNA-tests) should be carried out. The main question is: whether the gene of a hemophilia will be found in the remains.
In addition I can inform:
All our (Russian) TV are informing on the find as news №1. Edward Radzinsky has told (having an artful look), that identification of the remains (as the remains of Alexei and Maria) will confirm authenticity of «Yurovsky's Note» also [the same Yurovsky’s Note, not new one’s].
Metropolitan Cyril has very cautiously told: «All examinations and tests should be carried out with maximum transparent, that at anybody did not remain any doubt ».

A little more independent Russian TV-channel (NTV) has shown interview with Vadim Wiener - he said: «Yurovsky's Note is a fake, hence it is not remains of Alexei and sister».

Will the Duke of Edinburgh be giving another sample to help identify these new bones, or is the one he gave during the discovery of the previous remains still available? Or will others contribute?

Well, let's hope some progress can come from this. It's about time the Romanovs sorted themselves out and maybe another Royal funeral will give them the grounds to do that.

Doubtful. They certainly didn't do that at the Dowager Empress Marie's re-burial, though she always was the unifying force abroad after the revolution. While I'm thrilled that they've found Aleksi and Maria, I doubt that this will be the thing to bring the family together. The Vladimirovichi (Maria Vladimirovna and Georgi) are and always been too hauty to be palatable to the rest of the family and frankly I don't blame them. Her entire family from Kyril down has been detestably distant and imperious.

Hopefully now Aleksi and Maria can be laid to rest with their family in SS Peter and Paul Cathedral. God Bless the Romanovs!

Spasibo Boris for your contribution.

I will wait what the Search Foundation's reaction will be through Margarita Nelipa on behalve of Peter Sarandinaki,President of the SEARCH Foundation.

Meanwhile to quote a dear friend;"Mr. Viner is a delusional man who's disingenuous comments mean nothing,except that he must be shaking at the knees afraid that his own claims will no longer get publicity"

JPhinala,let that Vladimirovichi woman do what that brand of the family is good at since Marie the Elder,scheming and deviding.The family is its own worse enemy.
 
Many of the Romanov family (most significantly the two that were quarrelling, Maria V. & Nicholas R.) dined together after the reburial of Empress Maria Feodorovna. It seems as though the feud is over. And its not like all the Romanov descendants were involved, the Ilynskys get along with everybody.
 
For those who have the National Geographic Channel, they will be featuring the Romanovs on a new series. i forgot the title of the series (sorry!) but the show i think is dedicated to royalty. the show will air on Monday, September 3, 10 PM (GMT+8). ;)
 
When will a Formal Annoucement be made and when would Burial most like take place Werent they going to release Additional Information?? Hope the Church Finally accepts this and move ill give Maria V. one thing She tried to get them rehabilitated.
GOD SAVE THE TSAR
LONG LIVE THE ROMANOVS AND MOTHER RUSSIA! +

No date of a possible burial is known yet,as tests are still under way at present.There will be additional info once these have been completed.

On wednesday a court at Tverskoi ruled against a legal rehabilitation of Nicky.Prompted the Romanovs Family Association representative,Ivan Artsishevski yesterday to state on Ekho Moskvy radio that:

"Legal rehabilitation of Russian Emperor's Nicholas II family members is not needed,Russia rehabilitated the Emperor by a solemn burial of the family remains in Petropavlovsk fortress St.Petersburg".

According to Artsishevki the ruling of the Prosecutors General's Office was expected and predictable.

"The descendants of the Romanov family always held a position that if there is a legal rehabilitation,it is good,if not,it is deplorable but is hardly of great importance".

"It was a murder,it was unjustified,unfair and tragic,but it is not important in principle to resolve this issue on paper,by handing over a certificate,this is not important in principle"according to Mr.Artsishevki,yesterday.

BBC NEWS | Europe | Lost Romanov bones 'identified'
 
That is so amazing. I can't wait to find out if it is Anastasia and her brother. It is incredibly sad, but finally they can be put to rest whether it is her or not.
 
I am on a couple other forums that some of our posters have done extensive research and came up with a lot of info. Doesn't support this claim. But that doesn't surprise me that they want to put this to bed. It is Russia after all. . .
 
I believe that that these remains are that of Alexis and his sister Anastasia. Hopefully the most famous family execution of the 2oth will finally be put to death.

Don't forget Sirhon, they have to do the DNA tests on these FRAGMENTS. Not whole bones, but FRAGMENTS of bone. Doesn't it make you wonder why they RAN so fast to declare them Alexi and Anastasia?
 
The DNA results should be back soon. I cannot wait to see how they are going to spin it.

I do not believe the remains are Alexei and his sister, because I think they escaped and had long lives.

But I think the DNA tests results will be 'positive' because the remains are 'Romanovs'. There were other Romanovs apart from the Tsar and his family that were not found after their death.

That explains why only fragments are available to test. They have been dug up from somewhere else.

They will be able to spin it that these fragments are the children of Nicholas II, after all it will be Romanov DNA.
 
I wonder as well, Lisa. They've done such a botched up job with the remains that it's almost a joke.
I'm sure they'll spin and spin it.
I wonder whether they survived as well. I don't know whether they had long lives or not, Alexis was NOT in good health at the time (see King and Wilson's Fate of the Romanovs) and the children were known bleeders. Being shot and bayonetted they COULD have survived, and that would be highly fascinating! But the fact remains that there ARE 2 bodies missing. . . .
 
Well, looks like the mystery is solved now.

DNA tests finally solve the riddle of what happened to the last Tsar's two children

For 90 years it has been an enduring mystery - did some members of the Russian royal family survive execution by the Bolsheviks in 1918?
Now DNA tests carried out on two sets of bones found in the Ural Mountains appear to have solved the riddle. Forensic experts say initial results show the human remains belong to 13-year-old Crown Prince Alexei and his sister Princess Maria, 19.
 
Sorry Avalon, highly doubtful that it is. I blog on another site where there are notables weighing in on this subject. One is a highly regarded doctor who just explained the how the tests are inconclusive. It is not for me to publish his findings here. But from what I just read (basically DNA for dummies) there is no way that they could have gotten conclusive results from 44 fragments. Also, they say it's Marie. Marie was OLDER at the time of death than what they are claiming. Yet they still claim it's Marie.
Russian wants this all to go away so they will do whatever they can say whatever they can and however they can to absolve themselves of this messy, messy business.
It's not over Avalon, not by a long shot!
 
What difference does it make. They would all be very old and certainly not alive today. I, do, think they were all killed together. These fanciful fabrications, such as Anna Anderson, were just that.
 
And you are most welcome to think that. But, if it were YOUR relatives, I think you'd reconsider.

I believe that all human beings should be honored and have a proper burial. For them to be murded in such in a way and their bodys dumped and lost for so many years is a travesty! They need to be found.
 
Alexis was a full blown hemophiliac. Unfortunately, inherited from his relationship to Queen Victoria. He suffered massive hemorrahages, such as the one at Spala, where he almost died. The poor child suffered greatly. He, certainly, would not have survived. The gilrs were not "bleeders". Hemophilia does not affect women, they just carry the gene. No where have I ever seen this as referenced. Hands touching hair will not degrade DNA. By the way, 44 fragments, is quite enough. Whether this is all true, who knows. That would not be alive today is certain. And, Harry's polo shirt, if you think all human beings deserve a proper burial, you are correct. Perhaps, we should start with the mass graves that were found in concentration camps and their surroundings. What I am saying, is that it would be lovely if we could afford all the dead their proper burial, unfortunately, we can't. That is the very sad part of life.
 
I believe the scientists would not have made the announcement, unless they were pretty sure the fragments indeed belonged to Alexei & Maria.
Also, it come as a suprise to me that it Maria was the missing child (from the rest of the Family), not Anastasia: it was long argued among the scientist which sister was missing and mor then half supported the idea that the bones found belonged to the younger daughter (Anastiasia). The legend of Anastasia surviving comes from the many frauds like Anna Anderson.

And just think: the government oredered the death of the whole Imperial family, what were the chances any of them would survive? Surely they would have made sure all of them were death, they couldn't afford a mistake in such case. Whatever you think of them, their discipline, especially in following the orders, was quite good.

This is just my opinion though.
 
Hmm. :rolleyes:And the guns used didn't fire properly and the gun powder was of inferior quality and they had been drinking and were not nearly the blood thirsty lot as assumed (FOTR, King and Wilson). And then they left the bodies while they went upstairs to examine things with Yurovsky and, and, and. . . .
The Scientists in Russia will say all sorts of things. Surely you remember how they postured throughout the cold war when they were bankrupt. That they hid Chernoble for as long as they could.
Countess, please cite references where you say Alexis was a full-blown haemphiliac.

Russo,
The newspaper of "News" ("Izvestia"), on January, 27th.
The first conclusions of experts confirm: the remains of Alexei and Maria are found.
(in reduction, in my translation).
N.Nevolin: “Now we can tell: obtained data do not give the basis to judge, that the remains do not belong to imperial family [? - it is rather strange formulation in Russian - B.R.] . I while shall refrain from more categorical applications”. Nevolin has specified: “Present researches will differ what has taken place in 90th years. This time we shall try to investigate DNA for genetically determined disease (predetermined by a heredity. - "news"): infringements of coagulability of blood, - Nevolin speaks. - During the previous examination of such research it was not spent, for that moment it was impossible. But the science do not stand on a place. It will be one of the most important researches: Alexei suffered a hemophilia. Presumably in two months foreign scientists will start to work”.

http://www.izvestia.ru/hystory/article3112258/
 
My version of Mr. Nevolin's short interview

“In 1990s the forensic examination of the Imperial Family was carried by English and American specialists ... It has been decided that Russian specialists will be the first to conduct DNA analysis, whereas foreign specialists will conduct the second analysis to confirm to the findings of Russian specialists ... The DNA analysis conducted by the Russian side has not been completed yet, and, therefore, it is too early to make any final conclusions. At this phase, it can be stated that data obtained (findings) does not give us any ground to say that the remains did not belong to the Russian Imperial Family [This sentence implies that so far the findings indicate that the remains do belong to the Russian Imperial Family]. I am refraining from making more categorical statements…This time we shall try to examine DNA for genetically predetermined (or genetically inherent or built-in) diseases: blood clotting disorder or coagulation failure… The above mentioned analysis was not conducted previously as it did not exist (my interpretation of the words of Mr. Nevolin). But science is known to evolve”
[text of the article]This is one of the most important analyses as Cesarevitch Alexi had hemophilia, and Empress Alexandra Fedorovna was the carrier of the gene (my interpretation of the text)….
