Synopsis

Shows the latest grim discoveries related to the tragic fate of the last Russian Imperial family, including evidence that puts to rest one of the most romantic legends about the miraculous escape of the youngest daughter of the Tsar, Anastasia, from the Bolsheviks' bullets and bayonets, claimed by several pretenders. At a time when many countries are questioning the value of Kings and Queens, Russia's monarchist movement is spreading through all levels of society. From Australia comes a Romanov family, tracing their history, which claims a link to the non-ruling Romanov line.
