RUSSIAN PRINCESS ANASTASIA

Russian Princess Anastasia was born on June 5, 1901, in the Petrodvoretz Palace on the outskirts of St. Petersburg, Russia. However, it must be noted that the Russian calendar at this time in history was 13 days behind the rest of the world. Anastasia father was Nicholas II, and her mother was Alexandra. She had three older sisters: Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and one borther, Alexei.

On March 15, 1917, Nicholas II abdicated and Princess Anastasia and her family were held prisoner in the Palace. Later, they were moved to Siberia. On the evening of July 16, 1918 the family were taken to the cellar. Just exactly what happened here is open to some debate. Armed men shot the family dead, including their doctor and two servants. Princess Anastasia had diamonds sewn into her clothes, so the bullets were said to have bounced off. It is thought she was bayoneted to death.

Later, several women who claimed to be Russian Princess Anastasia appeared over the years. Finaly, in 1998, the remains of the Royal Family were buried in St. Catherine Chapel of St. Peter and Paul Cathedral in St. Petersburg
