The murder of the Russian Tsar and family

The Russian Tsar Nicholas II and his entire family were killed by a firing squad in 1918. For many years, the circumstances of their death were shrouded in mystery. Their bones were eventually found in a swamp outside the Siberian city of Ekaterinburg where the Royal Family were held in captivity. In 1998, they were reburied in St Petersburg. Olga Romanoff, the great niece of the Russian Tsar, spoke to Witness.
