Abstract

Results of expert studies of bone remains found at the site of burial of the family of late Emperor Nicholas II and subjects in their attendance are presented. All expert evaluations and identification studies (forensic biological, microosteological, forensic dental, medical anthropological, molecular genetic analysis, computer photoblending of the skull and life-time photographs, plastic reconstruction, etc.) are listed. Gunshot and other injuries on bone rudiments are described. Signs of long stay of bone remains in soil are detected. Signs of exposure of some remains to aggressive chemical medium (probably inorganic acid) at the site where they were found are noted. The remains of 9 subjects from group burial near Ekaterinburg are identified as Russian Emperor Nicholas II and his family members (N. A. Romanov, A. F. Romanova, O. N. Romanova, T. N. Romanova, and A. N. Romanova) and persons in their attendance Ye. S. Botkin, A. S. Demidova, A. Ye. Troupp, and I. M. Kharitonov. Official documents of the State Commission are offered.
