Recently the TRF staff were able to read this report on the identification of the lost Romanovs. The purpose of this thread is to discuss the scientific report covering the testing of the remains that were later identified as that of the murdered family of the Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra of Russia.
Readers who would like to read the report for themselves should follow this link. The report is available and costs $18 to subscribers of nature.com
Because the contents of this report are not so easily accessible to the general public as other literature, we decided to provide for our readers a short summary of the main points in the report.
Be warned however, that as laymen, we cannot vouch for the accuracy of the report. We can only read the report as layman and provide a summary of the main points in the article for benefit of our readers who may not have read the report. We can note however that the presence of the findings in a peer-reviewed scientific journal does add a generally accepted level of reliability in the report's findings however the fact that a paper has been peer-reviewed and printed in a journal does not guarantee that the report is 100% accurate.
Of course being layman, there may be errors in our summary. Again, this summary is only provided as a courtesy to our readers and should not be taken as evidence in and of itself. Only the original report can do that.
If any member finds errors in this summary, please inform one of the Russian moderators and we will review and revise.
If you have access to the original report, you may quote up to 20% of the original report here at TRF. Because this is a copyrighted work, do not quote more than 20% of the report.
If you would like to refute part or all of this report, it would be helpful to the layperson if you compare apples to apples and cite another peer-reviewed scientific report as your evidence. It would also be helpful if you provide a link and a synopsis of the report as we are doing here for this report.
