0 Comments | AFP, April, 2008
MOSCOW (AFP) — Forensic testing of bone fragments found in Russia's Urals region last year has confirmed they belonged to the last tsar's murdered children Alexei and Maria, Russian news agencies reported Wednesday.
"Now we have found the entire family," Sverdlovsk regional governor Eduard Rossel was quoted as saying by Interfax.
In 1918, Bolshevik revolutionaries shot Nicholas II, his family and their entourage near Yekaterinberg.
Remains identified as those of Nicholas II, his wife Alexandra and three of their daughters, were buried with a lavish funeral in 1998 in the former imperial capital of Saint Petersburg.
