The Romanovs' Last Summer: Ekaterinburg 1918

In July 1918, the Romanov family—Tsar Nicholas II, Alexandra, and their five children—were executed in a basement in Yekaterinburg. But how did they end up there? This episode traces the final months of the imperial family: their comfortable exile in Tobolsk, the harsh transfer to the Ipatiev House, the identity of the guards who watched them, and the cryptic order that sealed their fate. Lucas and Luna unpack the contested evidence around the Ural Soviet's decision, the role of Yakov Yurovsky, the possibility of a rescue attempt, and the aftermath that left Russia without its royal family. With careful attention to the myths and the archival record, they offer a clear-eyed view of one of the revolution's most consequential acts.
