When Emperor Nicholas II abdicated the Russian Throne in March of 1917 there were fifty-three Romanovs living in Russia. One of these, the Grand Duke Nicholas Constantinovich died of natural causes at Tashkent in February 1918. Of the remaining fifty-two, seventeen were murdered by the Bolsheviks! The remaining thirty-five members of the family all escaped by various methods narrowly managing to escape the same fate as their relatives.
In addition to the thirty-five full-fledged members of the family, there were also a number of quasi-Romanovs resulting from morganatic marriages of various male members of the family. Of these, only Prince Vladimir Pavlovich Paley and the Prince Artemi Nicholaievich were murdered.
This examination of The Survivors begins with those members of the family that did not survive the Revolution.
1. Emperor Nicholas II
2. Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, former Princess of Hesse and their five children:
3. Czarevich Alexis Nicholaievich
4. Grand Duchess Olga Nicholaievna
5. Grand Duchess Tatiana Nicholaievna
6. Grand Duchess Maria Nicholaievna
7. Grand Duchess Anastasia Nicholaievna
These seven, the immediate Imperial Family were murdered in Ekaterinburg in July 1918.
8. Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovich, the Emperor's brother, was murdered at Perm in July 1918. He was technically the last Emperor since his brother abdicated in his favour and the Grand Duke Michael did not himself renounce the throne for twenty-four hours.
9. Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna, Princess of Hesse. She was a sister of the Empress Alexandra and widow of the Emperor's uncle, Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich, who was murdered in 1905 by a terrorist bomb. His remains were found beneath a parking lot in Moscow in 1995 and were reburied on 17 September 1995 in the chapel of the Novospassky Monastery. Grand Duchess Elizabeth was the Abbess of the Convent of Sisters of Mercy of Martha and Mary which she founded in 1910. The Order was re-founded by her niece, Princess Alice of Greece, the mother of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, in 1949.
10. Grand Duke Sergei Mikhailovich, cousin of the Emperor.
11. Prince Ioann Constantinovich.
12. Prince Igor Constantinovich.
13. Prince Constantine Constantinovich
The three princes were sons of the Emperor's cousin the late Grand Duke Constantine Constantinovich. These five, along with the Prince Vladimir Pavlovich Paley, son of the morganatic marriage of Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovich, were thrown down a mine shaft at Alapaevsk in July 1918. Their bodies were later recovered and the Grand Duchess Elizabeth was buried in St. Mary Magdalene's Church, Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. The others were buried at the Church of the Martyrs near Beijing, China.
14. Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovich, the Emperor's uncle.
15. Grand Duke Dmitri Constantinovich, cousin of the Emperor.
16. Grand Duke Nicholas Mikhailovich, cousin of the Emperor, along with his brother
17. Grand Duke George Mikhailovich.
These four Grand Dukes were murdered at the Fortress of Peter and Paul in Petrograd in January 1919. The Fortress was the traditional burial place of the Romanovs.
All the murdered Romanovs, with the exception of Grand Duke Nicholas Mikhailovich, were canonized by the Orthodox Church in 1981. Grand Duke Nicholas was considered to be too leftist in his leanings by the Church.
