The author of the book went to those places where in 1918 the murder of the royal family and members of the Romanov dynasty was carried out in an organized and systematic manner, met with old-timers, wrote down their stories, and most importantly, found documents in local archives that shed new light on this crime, allowing you to recreate portraits of the participants in the murder of the emperor of Russia and his relatives. A number of documents and photographs are being published for the first time.
