On a hill in Yekaterinburg, the Auf der Blute church stands in white and with golden domes. 67 meters high and completed in 2003. It stands in the place of the metropolis of Ural, where a crime took place 100 years ago and continues to occupy the Russian society. On July 17, 1918, shortly after midnight, captured Tsar Nicholas and his family were awakened by their squad of guards and ordered to shoot. In the cellar of the old Ipatjew house, the Romanovs, among them five children, were literally slaughtered
In the churches, the Tsar hangs like an icon
Next, the murderers were looking for a secret place to get rid bodies. The choice was focused on a coal mine, called Ganina Jama, 20 kilometers from Yekaterinburg. Nowadays Nikolay Romanov is ubiquitous: in the cafeteria he looks in a blue uniform of a photo, in the monastery shop one can buy his face as a gold pendant or buy Tsar water – 0 , 5 liter for 50 rubles. In the churches, he hangs a hundredfold as an icon.
The Ganina Jama Monastery near Yekaterinburg honors the last Tsar as a saint to whom the Orthodox Church declared it in 2000. Seven wooden chapels are built here in the forest, equipped the most modern electrical installations, so it's hot in the winter and cool in the summer. The heart of the complex is a hilly and grassy clearing, around which circulates a circular covered path: the former well number seven, place where the Bolsheviks brought the bodies of Nikolai and his family after the execution on July 17, 1918.
He still has not found his last resting place
In the monastery, whose first stone was laid in 2000, the monarchists believe they can trace the martyrdom of the Romanovs. On the contrary, the complex is a place where one can feel that the fate of the Tsar's family still haunts Russia – and that Nikolaj has not yet found his last resting place.
Indeed, Romanov's bones lie in the pit for a short time before being transported to another place. This is not mentioned in Ganina Jama. The church adheres to the "Burning Thesis", which states that the bones of the tsar's family have been "destroyed" here, as the information board says. It maintains a preliminary version of the crime, as reported by the investigator Nikolai Sokolov, which ignores the facts of today.
Snow was shoveled for physical training
After his abdication in March 1917, Nikolay and his family were placed under house arrest by the Provisional Government. They sat in their residence in Tsarskoye Selo near St. Petersburg in a "golden cage". Nikolaj read to the family of "Count of Monte Cristo", embroidered Alix, the children received lessons of French, for the physical training of the snow was shoveled.
In August 1917, the family and their servants were evacuated to the Siberian town of Tobolsk. When the Bolsheviks came to power in November and the civil war broke out, the family's situation became even more difficult. In April 1918, the Romanovs arrived in Yekaterinburg in the Urals.
They were stuck in the so-called Ipatjew house, isolated from the public. "The supply was miserable, the treatment more rudimentary and the range of motion even closer – even the services held at a guest clergy in the house," says Dalos.
The bones were identified by genetic tests
After the murder, the Bolsheviks burned their clothes and transported the bodies to the well around which the monastery is today. A little later, they were relocated elsewhere. On July 25, 1918, Ekaterinburg fell into the hands of the White Army. The following year, the investigator Sokolov wrote his account of the fire.
As long as the Soviet Union existed, the secret of the Tsar's family could not be revealed, although as early as the late 1970s, two men found the burial place. In 1991, human remains were found on this site, which were identified in genetic tests as members of the Tsar's family. The bones were buried in the St. Peter and Paul Cathedral in St. Petersburg – without the Tsarevich Alexei and his sister Maria, whose remains were found only in 2007 in the forest area Porosjonkow Log and which n & # 39; have not been buried until today. The first president of Russia Boris Yeltsin then organized the ceremony. The biography of Yekaterinburgers also crosses several times the Tsar's family. As head of the Sverdlovsk region, in the late 1970s, he was responsible for the demolition of the Ipatiev house as part of the redevelopment of the entire district of the city. Meanwhile, instead of the house is the huge Orthodox Church – the church on the blood. Once again, members of the Tsar's family are revered as martyrs.
Thousands of people are expected on Remembrance Day
Church leadership accuses Yeltsin of having removed historical traces because of the destruction of the House of Death. But it also opposes in its own way against the Enlightenment and does not recognize the authenticity of human remains, because for them there is none – the Romanovs have indeed been burned. This official version of the church is also followed by the thousands of pilgrims who, every year, visit Ekaterinburg Church on Blood at Ganina Jama Monastery. For the centenary of this Tuesday, many participants are expected.
A simple sign, next to the railroad dyke and a gas pipe
The place in the forest, where the bones of the Tsar's family rest for a long time, they leave out . Today, there is a simple sign called "Romanov Memorial", next to which is a railway embankment and a gas pipeline. Without the Ganina Jama orthodox pump, several wooden crosses and tombstones recall the place where the bones were found in the forest floor. There the spouses, three of their children and the servants and a few meters further in the forest of Tsarevich and Maria. "Here you have members of the Tsar's family and their hidden confidants of the people," said a commemorative stone. A phrase that, in some respects, also seems to correspond to the present.
