The Last Days of the Romanovs: Secrets of the Ipatiev House

In this episode of The Russian Revolution: How the Tsars Lost Everything, we revisit the final weeks of the Romanov family in the Ipatiev House in Yekaterinburg, July 1918. We focus on the lesser-known details: the guards' crude graffiti, the family's attempts to maintain normalcy, the coded letters smuggled in by loyalists, and the logistics of the execution itself. We examine the role of Yakov Yurovsky, the commandant, and his meticulous notes, which contradict some long-held myths. We also explore the question of whether any of the family could have survived, and how DNA testing in 1991 finally put the mystery to rest. With the events of the Russian Revolution already covered in earlier episodes, this one narrows the lens to a single house and a single night, revealing the human tragedy behind the historical headlines. Join us for a close look at the Ipatiev House, the last summer of the Romanovs, and the secrets that were nearly lost to time.
