n
July 16-17, 1918 at night in a basement of the house of Ipatev in
Boznesenskaya avenue in Ekaterinburg according to the resolution of the
Presidium of Council of Ural the following people were executed:
Russian Emperor Nicholas II (Nicholas Alexandrovich Romanov), Empress
Alexandra Feodorovna, tsarevich Alexis Nikolayevich, Grand Duchesses -
Olga Nikolaevna, Tatyana Nikolaevna, Maria Nikolaevna and Anastasia
Nikolaevna, the physician E.S.Botkin, the indoor woman A.S.Demidova,
the cook I.M.Haritonov and the man - servant A.E.Trupp. Their bodies
were removed to the region Ganina Yama, where on July 17, 1918 they
were separated and thrown into an "open mine". As the place of the
concealment of the bodies wasn't good, at 10 a.m. on July 17, 1918
having set the guards, Y.M.Yurovsky left for Ekaterinburg to settle
with the Ural Councl the problem of finding another burial place.
G.I.Safarov, I.I.Goloshchekin and others made a decision to burn down a
part of the bodies or to disfigure them by an acid and to bury them in
different places while to throw the other part in mines near Moskovsky
trakt. Yurovsky in his memoirs described their actions: "Then the
remains were buried just there, under the fire, and then the fire was
lit up again and it completely concealed the traces of our digging. At
the same time a common grave was dug for the rest. By 7 o'clock a.m.
the pit had been ready. It was about 2 arshins (about 56 inches) deep
and 3 (84 inches) long and wide. The bodies were put into the pit, the
faces and bodies were poured with a sulphuric acid so that they were
unrecognizable as well to prevent the stink of decomposition (the pit
wasn't too deep). Having thrown the pit with earth and brushwood we put
over sleepers and passed by several times so that no traces of the pit
were left". The secret was well kept - the White didn't find that
burial place...
