Mystery Of Anastasia Romanov
76
Anastasia Romanov Was She Anna Anderson
Mystery of Anastasia Romanov born June 18,1901 to the Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and his wife Alexandra Fyodorvna was the youngest daughter of the four daughters the couple had. Anastasia was the younger sister of Grand Duchess Tatiana, Grand Duchess Maria, and Grand Duchess Olga her only brother was Alexei Nikolaevich, Tsarevich of Russia. The claim is that on July 17, 1918 she was murdered with her entire family by the Bolshevik secret police.
Rumors continued to fly about the possibility of her survival due to nobody being able to clearly identify where her body had been located. The mass grave had been revealed in 1991 however only the mother, the father and three daughters had been located. The body of Alexei and one of his sisters had not been located.
In 2008 the Russians made claim that her possible survival had been disproved and that the remains of a young boy and a young girl's charred remains had been located near Ektarinburg in 2007 and that fact was they were the remains of Alexei and one of his four sisters. In March 2009 Michael Coble of the USAF DNA identification laboratory stated that all sister's had been accounted for and that nobody survived. Isn't this questionable? Did they run tests on the young boy to prove in fact that he was Alexei? Or was it a burial ground for two unidentified children?
Anna Anderson who resided in Charlottesville until her death in 1984 claimed that she was Anastasia Romanov and had survived the brutality of the Bolshevik Police. Why would a person who had so much knowledge of the family, friends and workers lie about who she had been? How would she have known about the crime that had been committed to her family? Media as it is known today was not made available and only Anna who claims she was Anastasia would have any type of childhood memories about her life. Why would a woman fight so hard to regain her name if she was not Anastasia Romanov? What type of tissue samplings were taken in 1984 after her death?What about her scars? Why did they wait until 1994 to test the tissue? Could there have not been a mix-up of her samples? If fingerprinting was done in 1984 finger-printing was not used in the early years of Russia so how could they have made a comparison? A hair sample would not necessarily disprove a person there isn't any widely accepted standard on how hair samples should be collected, analyzed or stored. All laboratories use different methods when testing and collecting hair samples. It is normal for two completely different laboratories to come up with two different sets of results. Seemingly since it is complicated when determining the results it is very difficult for any health care professional to determine what the results really mean. When determining paternity on a child the hair follicle root has to be in tact. Was the root in fact attached when tests had been ran to determine the outcome? The NY Times reported that DNA evidence can be fabricated to cover up the truth and inactivate genes. Anna Anderson was cremated upon her death in 1984, was permission given to take DNA tissue samples? Anastasia Romanov was alive and well in until her death, based on unreliable evidence I believe until this very day there has been a continued cover-up on her life and death. A woman such as Anna Anderson would not take the time to clear her name unless she was the last surviving Grand Duchess who was none other then Anastasia Romanov herself. Referencing wikipedia house of Romanov the truth about Anastasia Romanov still states that remains were found and that it did belong to one of the sisters, the way it is written it also appears that everyone certainly wants to close the case and deny the possibility of any survivors, as for me it will continue to remain questionable and I believe that Anna Anderson really was Anastasia Romanov why would Russia want to acknowledge the truth after all of these years? Peter Kurth has pictures that eerily match both Anastasia Romanov and Anna Anderson and has also written and concluded. Russia was communistic before it fell and there people were freed from the hell that they endured they certainly did not keep a wonderful paper trail, our own government and Russia are now friends why would they want to provide the truth after all that would show the World that she was truly who she said she was and defame the credibility of others.

Vladimir: It is my understanding based on reading and research that she did not have children nor did she ever marry. Peter Kurth wrote about her and the link is toward the end of the article the pictures are dead on so I honestly do not know how they could have disclaimed someone who had fought so hard for who she was it is impossible. :)
Now ya did it. they yanked the pictures and the link doesn't work. I believe.
Intriguing. What was Anna's story after the killings? What happened to her and how did she end up in America?
Of course the Russians did not want her (Anna) to be able to claim anything from the estate.
ralwus: I didn't use the right link,lololo I have to fix! :)
landthatilove: Anna's story was that she was Anastasia
Romanov and stuck to it to the very end. She ended up here
through her companion who she adored but never married. :)
landthatilove: You got that right. :)
ralwus: It is fixed now you can click on the link!! oops sorry.:)
Great blog, great topic, I have been to Russia 32 times and Yekaterinburg 8 times. The Royal Family burial location has been know since 1992 or so and it is in a really isolated area of forest and mines back on my original visit in 2000. I went to the final grave mine shaft before Americans were actually allowed in that area, an eerie isolated sad place for royalty to rest. I Always had a fascination with the Romanov's since my grandfather was there in 1917 in St Petersburg. He told horror stories of how at 17 he non-voluntarily had to dig mass graves for flatbeds of people slandered by the Revolutionists. He survived, escaped to Germany then USA.
Many descendant members of the Romanov family still survive, some here in Florida and all of them have the DNA matches that Anna is missing for credibility or indisputable bloodlines.
I'm with you, Julianna. How would the woman who claims to be Anastasia Romanov benefit from such a claim anyhow and what are the Russians trying to cover up anyway? It just doesn't make sense for the cover-up. I enjoyed this, thank you.
Bernie: It is disheartening and sad that her family could be so cruel and inhumane she had gone through so much and I will always believe that Anna was Anastasia her resemblance that Peter Kurth duly noted on his page which I have linked clearly identifies her and there is not a single person that could ever tell me that Anna was not her. I hope that one day somebody will step-up speak the truth and bring her name back to her even after death. It also saddens me to think of the horror your grandfather went through during that period I could not imagine enduring that pain. :)
dohn121: The Russians are always trying to cover-up something and this one is the worse cover-up I have ever seen. The descendants of the Romanov's know and so do they. They should give her back her title and honor and let her rest in peace. If I had the ability I would fight for her honor even after her death, maybe just maybe a descendant will read it and honestly have a heart. :)
The never-ending mystery, resurfacing every few years... ah to have an answer!!!
A very intriguing and romantic mystery. We really want to believe. When I was in High school I can remember playing a scene from the Anastasia play.. I was the grandmother. It was a real tear-jerker.
Candie: I wish we would have answer I believe that Anna Anderson was Anastasia those pics on Peter's page speak the truth, if only the family would fess up. :)
Rochelle: I bet that was amazing!!! You were so luck to play a part and the grandmother of all people I know she knew the entire time. :)
Was she, wasn't she? The thing is, why should she have fought so hard to prove it if it wasn't true? I loved the film.
Shalini: I honestly believe she was and Russia certainly could not have that, after all why would they want to proven that they failed in a heinous crime?
Intriguing. there was a program recently on Discovery on tnis very subject. But as I recall it the DNA did not match. The conclusion was that she was a child of one of the Romanov servants. However that in itself may have been a subterfuge,
I am pretty sure the murderers knew how to kill, and kill they did. They may have been surprised at first when the ladies were not dead because of the jewels hidden in their corsets, but they knew death and how to deliver it. They had a deep hatred of the family and the order was given, they fulfilled the order I believe to the letter. It is also like the many who had professed to be Billy the Kid or Jesse James. People are like that you see? Oh, yeah thanks for the link, I looked but still don't believe it.
Nice topic. Enjoyed reading it. :)
sixtyorso: I believe that the DNA was tainted and som how managed to switch her samplings. I don't believe that she was a child of one of the servants because her pics resemble Anastasia way to much. I do remember the show I believe they want us to somehow believe a lie, just my own opinion. :)
ralwus: I honestly believe she was alive because women do not fight that hard about something unless they are telling the truth. If she were one of the servants children, why would she want to become Anastasia those pictures are to close. :)
BeatsMe: I am glad to see you on HP and thank you for commenting. :)
I really can't answer that dear. I only know what I have read. I do know the assassins were good at what they did and were experienced killers all. I just can't see how she would have ever escaped their clutches as Lenin wanted no members of the family left alive and he had them in his clutches for that reason.
ralwus: It will always remain a mystery and the man upstairs does work in mysterious ways. The scars that she had endured were an exact match, how is it possible? mmmmmm... Those people were evil in any case and how could they murder an entire family and not have any mercy? I am certain that they were punished for what they did. :)
Well, look at it this way. The son, a small boy was shot and killed with his dad. If they could do that, how could any mercy be shown to anyone, and they were all drunk too I think to give them more courage for the dastardly deed. But, I suppose someone could have rescued her out of the other sisters. My thumb is getting tired of going up every time I come in here. LOL
ralwus: That is horrible and that is why I admire you, your comments are thought provoking, I do think she was rescued for some reason my heart said she was and I really truly do. (((Big Hugs)) :)
I also believe she was Anastasia there is to much valid information that points to the facts about her, great article.
*smiling*hugs back dear one
GlstngRosePetals: Thanks bunches.. :)
Ralwus: ***smile*** :D thanks :)
I wouldn't doubt it; there's a lot of cover-ups down in history. Anastasia had one rollercoaster of a life.
MistHaven: I couldn't agree with you more so many secrets and lies it so sad that she has not had her name cleared. :(
I believe your conclusions partly because I want to believe and partly because Russia would have reason to cover this up as it is an embarrassment. I love the romance of the story, I suppose. I love the movie Anastasia and the possibility that she did live. Thanks for revealing reasons for me to continue to believe. I was pretty bummed when someone told me she had been accurately I.D.'d.
Storytellersrus: You are so welcome and I will always believe that the woman who was Ann Anderson was none other then Anastasia. I hope that one day the truth will be known and they (Russia) will tuck there tails in and be honest. A woman would never fight for something unless it was the truth. :)
A,I recall reading years ago, that one of the reasons that people don't believe that Anastasia was killed was because when they lined up the family for the firing squad, Anastasia was left standing (according to witnesses) because she was so beloved by her captors, no one could bring himself to do the deed and kill the child. Whatever really happened, that is a touching, heartbreaking story.
Dolores: Now that is an interesting fact and I believe it to be true hopefully one day the truth will be known. :)
Shes brown bread- now get over it.The Russian royal family was corrupt.
khoustello: Thanks for your opinion but children should not have heartless been murdered nor a survivor ignored, children are innocent and regardless of how corrupt they were so was Russia for many years. :)
There's a really good book about her titled Anastasia the Lost Princess by Blair James Hovell and a book titled the secret plot to save the tsar, has a lot of information about the DNA whicih coincidentally was only mitochondrial DNA and is not conclusive or universally accepted for identification of bodies. I have links on my page. And in case you wondered I do believe that Anastasia did escape. good hub!
nrgalloway: I will certainly check that book out and thank you so much for reading about her. :)
They actually found a brush with Anna Andersons DNA. It has been fproven that she was not Anastasia. Her name was Fransiska, er something and she wasnt even russian she was polish. she was from a poor family of farmers. she attempted suicide and had mental issues. she ended up convincing herself she was asnstasia...but its been proven she is indeed not(: but this was an amazing mystery and my class had tons of funn trying to figure it out. i believed it was anastasia(: haha, i was wrong though.
cheyann: Interesting but how are the pictures so eerily similiar? Thank you so much for your thoughts but I believe it certainly is still a mystery Russia who certainly be emberassed if the truth were told. :)

Very interesting. I wonder if she had children to fallow DNA pattern.
