The Romanovs

i have first known about the Romanov's in a documentary aired by the discovery channel when i was 12 0r 13. and ever since i had been greatly interested about them and their life and untimely death [July 16, 1918 Ipatiev House, Ekaterinburg], especially that of the Grand Duchess Anastasia and Tsarvich Alexei - who's still rumored [and believed] to have survived the massacre of their family, although, according to recent news Anastasia and Alexei's burned bones had been found at a bonfire site not too far from where their family has been buried.
the Romanov's [including 4 servants] died of gun shot wounds, with the girls shot at the head.

NOTE:
although it is considered one of the most tragic story/event of the the 20th Century -
it is on their story that i had increasingly became more inclined and interested towards history [especially that of those the Royal bloods]; and hemophilia [a rare bleeding disorder in which the blood doesn't clot normally which often leads to hemorrhage or severe bleeding that if left uncured (no treatment is available yet)could lead to death. the abnormal gene that causes, is usually carried by the mother and passed on to the male offspring] - it is the disease that has burdened Tsarvich Alexei until his assassination in 1918 [along with his family]..
May they all Rest in Peace.
