The Soviets and the Assassination of the Czar

The soviet government officially maintained that the rest of the family was still alive. The communist party also concocted a cover story about who had done it. After siberia briefly fell completely out of soviet control during the civil war, admiral kolchak ordered an investigation. Ahi was forced to flee russia in 19 20 as the civil war turned decisively in favor of the reds. But he published everything he had accumulated in paris in 19 26, forcing theSoviet government to admit that the romanots were dead and buried.
