The Final Days of the Romanovs Before the Basement

A diary entry about the weather. A dinner served two and a half hours late. Forged letters promising rescue, and a priest who watched a family kneel. What did the last Romanovs live through inside the Ipatiev House before the night they were told to come downstairs? Which small detail from the seventy-eight days stayed with you: the painted windows, the late dinner or the kneeling? Tell us in the comments. Transparency note: this script is based on research of public reports, data and news, with real photos and footage and AI-generated illustrations where no real photo or footage exists.
