Most of us have.
The 1918 execution of Nicholas II, the last Russian czar (before Putin, that is) and the Romanovs was the last chapter of true monarchy in Europe. These murders gave birth to the story that Anastasia survived and escaped to Paris, to Germany, to a convent, to the U.S., as attested in dozens of books, movies, plays, musicals.
