THREE INVESTIGATORS AFFIRMED THAT THERE WAS NO EXECUTION, THE VERSION OF THE EXECUTION WAS CREATED OVER TIME

Researchers Tom Mangold and Anthony Summers published the book The Romanov Case, or the Execution That Wasn't in 1979.

They started with the fact that in 1978 the 60-year secrecy seal of the Brest peace treaty signed in 1918 expires, and it would be interesting to investigate the declassified files.

The first thing they unearthed were telegrams from the British ambassador announcing that the Bolsheviks had evacuated the royal family from Yekaterinburg to Perm.

According to British intelligence agents in the army of Alexander Kolchak, upon entering Yekaterinburg on July 25, 1918, the admiral immediately appointed an investigator in the case of the execution of the royal family. Three months later, Captain Nametkin put a report on his desk, where he said that instead of being shot, it was staged. Not believing, Kolchak appointed a second investigator, Sergeev, and soon got the same results.

In parallel with them, the commission of Captain Malinovsky worked, who in June 1919 gave the following instructions to the third investigator Nikolai Sokolov:

"As a result of my work on the case, I was convinced that the august family is alive ... all the facts that I observed during the investigation are simulated murders."
