Romanovs to get copy of order to end probing Nicholas II execution (updated)


Moscow, September 14, Interfax - Russia's top criminal investigation agency will pass over to descendants of the former Russian royal family a copy of its order to terminate the investigation of the 1918 execution of last Russian tsar Nicholas II, his family and members of his retinue, a senior investigator said on Wednesday.

"The court said it's desirable to hand over the papers to the Romanovs to familiarize themselves with it. Let them do so. It wasn't a classified case, we didn't keep a single forensic test secret. It has become public, and thank God for that," Vladimir Solovyov, a senior investigator and forensic expert at the Investigative Committee, told Interfax.

Solovyov had investigated the case.

No Kremlin orders on shooting Emperor Nicholas II exist - investigator


Moscow, October 27, Interfax - Russian investigative agencies do not possess any documents indicating that Vladimir Lenin or other Soviet leaders issued orders on shooting Emperor Nicholas II and members of his family, says Vladimir Solovyov, a senior investigator and criminologist from the Investigative Committee criminology department.

"Even if some oral instructions were given, they were not formalized, and we don't have such documents. The shooting was carried out at the Urals regional council presidium's decision," Solovyov said.

Alexander Zakatov, the director of the Romanov family chancellery, said the Imperial Family also has no documents indicating Lenin's responsibility for the shooting of the Romanovs but has indirect evidence indicating the Soviet leaders' possible awareness of this.

"We have never ventured to say that Lenin issued this order. There are no official documents on this account, but this does not rule out that the Soviet leaders did issue such an order, and there is indirect evidence," he said.

Criminal investigator suggests inviting Russian Orthodox Church into royal remains inquiry


Moscow, October 27, Interfax - The Russian government should set up a commission that would include representatives from the Russian Orthodox Church to settle the issue regarding the authenticity of the remains of Emperor Nicholas II and members of his family, said senior criminal expert Vladimir Solovyov of the Russian Investigative Committee, who has been probing the execution of the royal family.

"The right solution would be to set up a government commission including Church representatives or the specialists who are trusted by the Church. This commission would be a platform for civil talks and discussions," Solovyov told a press conference at the Interfax head office on Thursday.

Investigative committee declares tsar family remains
The Russian Investigative Committee confirmed on Thursday that the remains of Russia’s tsar family buried in St. Petersburg’s St. Peter and Paul Cathedral, as well as the bodies of Tsar Nicholas II’s children Alexei and Maria, which still remain unburied, were authentic.
“As a result of a probe, the Investigative Committee has come to the categorical conclusion that the remains are authentic,” investigator Vladimir Solovyov told journalists in Moscow, adding that the conclusion was based on “summarized data including court documents, genetic analysis, and historical and other

Lenin cleared of tsar’s murder – historic impartiality?


There is no evidence that the family of Russia's last tsar was murdered on Vladimir Lenin's order, declared the country’s Investigative Committee.
"Not a single document indicates that Lenin or Kremlin officials issued an order to shoot the tsar's family,” said senior investigator and criminologist Vladimir Solovyov. “Even if some oral instructions were given, they were not formalized, and we don't have such documents.”
The shooting, the investigator insisted, was thus carried out solely on the decision of the Urals regional council.
"This is the work of dozens of outstanding experts,” Solovyov said. “It involved a lot of technological novelties and new identification technology.”
The announcement follows the release of a final decision in the Romanovs murder case, which has at last been closed by the Investigative Committee.
The case materials – totaling more than 800 pages – have been handed over to the Romanov family's descendants.
"This is a truly significant event and a sign that the Russian Federation is a rule-of-law state,” said Aleksandr Zakatov, director of the Romanov family chancellery. “This is also a sign that all Lenin cleared of tsar

from Investigative committee declares tsar family remains ‘authentic’:

Alexander Zakatov, the director of the Romanov dynasty's office, said The Russian Imperial House shared the Church’s position.

“The Russian Orthodox Church does not consider that there are enough grounds to recognize those remains as the remains of saint royal martyrs,” he said. “We are speaking not just about the remains of ordinary people, but about honored relics.”

He added, however, that the Imperial House had never questioned the scientific and investigative conclusions and had never said that the remains were not authentic. But the final conclusion would require a consensus between the Church and the public, he said.

“If the Church’s position on this issue changes, the Imperial House will be glad,” he said.

The Grand Duchess is perhaps just waiting for the Church to recognize the authenticity of the remains, at which point she will automatically do the same thing.
