Experts believe they have found her remains near the rest of her family. She was probably in the same room with them when they got gunned down, instead of being seperated from them par getting amnesia par hitting her head at the railroad station. DNA testing debunked the idea that some woman who claimed to be Anastasia (a lots of people believed her) was. I just think of the movie character Anastasia as that--a fictional character--and enjoy the movie as a good story even though not true. I feel the same about Disney's Pocahontas.

I had a hard time learning that the last Grand Duchess didn't really live. Makes me hate Russia when I think about it, but I don't really know why. It's all so tragic. Even worse, that Disney would twist the facts around so badly. While it is a good story, I was heartbroken when I discovered the real Anastasia was murdered, so young.
Thats how I look at it too, as a fictional story. It cracks me up when people get so worked up about it not being realistic. It is after all a fictional children's movie about what might have happened had Anastasia survived, not a documentary.
actually musique maker 95 the film was just a version of events some people at the time did believe that Anastasia survived at the time there were many young women claiming to be her
MusicMaker95 - I don't condone the deaths of children. However, one thing that toi must realize is that Nicholas II was a horrendous ruler. Yes, a nice guy, but he allowed people to starve and preferred to deprive them of a constitutional government and their own rights just so he could have his divine right. He helped to see to it that many people were executed and didn't do Russian many favors. toi must also consider that the Romanov assassination occurred during a time of WAR.
Sort of she did not die with all her family, she was burned with her little brother away from the castle

No, she was shot and bueried with her family. The bodies of one of her sisters and her brother were burned after death in order to mislead anyone who found either graves.
Accounts from the soldiers indicate that they were all shot, though bayonets were used to finish the members who didn't die from the shots fired. So it's assumed that they were all shot, though not all were fatal.
Anastasia was murdered with her family. While the shots were not fatal, a lot of ballistics studies are basically saying that Anastasia was bayonetted, and when they did not kill her, she was believed to be killed par a shot to the head. The testing is still inconclusive, though on Anastasia's specific cause of death.
Yes, she did die with her family. However the communists separated the bodies and buried them at different sites in order to give credence to the rumours (which the communists started to avoid trouble from the Germans) that one ou plus of the Royal Family had survived and escaped.
yes the real Anastasia whose real name was Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia was the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, the last sovereign of Imperial Russia, and his wife Alexandra Fyodorovna.
Anastasia was a younger sister of Grand Duchess Olga, Grand Duchess Tatiana and Grand Duchess Maria, and was an elder sister of Alexei Nikolaevich, Tsarevich of Russia.
She was murdered with her family on July 17, 1918 par forces of the Bolshevik secret police, she was 17 years and 29 days old
(the picture is of Anastasia in 1904 she was 3 at the time)
Yes, sadly. Her remains were found near her family's, but this wasn't certain until DNA testing was available. That's why it was believed that she could've survived.
