The Murder of the Romanov Imperial Family

About this episode

In July 1918, Russia's former imperial family was led into a basement in Yekaterinburg and murdered alongside four attendants. How had Nicholas II, Alexandra and their five children gone from palace life to imprisonment in the ominously named House of Special Purpose? This episode follows their final sixteen months, the attempts to conceal their bodies and the investigation that followed. It also explores the survival stories that captured the public imagination, before forensic science finally established the family's fate.
