Anastasia discussion

I never all the truth about Anastasia. I had only really seen the cartoon movie. I knew that all of her family was dead and that it was never really proven that she lived on. I found the history ver interesting.

i heard somewhere and im going back a few years here that her brother survived as well

if i remeber correctly then you might want to look for a sepecific episode of Mystery Hunters that was once on discovery kids (as i said going back a few years)

it also touches on the possibility that she went to live in america after the revolution

i remember!!!!!!!!!! its series2,episode 19

it was a good watch
anyways hope that helps :P

I watched a documentary and they did find the two missing bodies several years ago. Scientists believe they're the bodies of Maria and Alexei.

There are many books on the russian revolution.But in my mind I believe they all died that terrible night. Here's more historical fiction to read on this era.

No, she did die. They found her bones. The women that were impersonating her really weren't Anastasia. Anastasia died in 1917 with the rest of her family.

Her family definitely was killed. About a decade or two later, an impostor named Anna Anderson showed up, saying she was Anna. At least, I believe she was an impostor because her DNA samples had no connection to the Romanovs at all. That's where Anya and one of the most persistent legends of Russian history come in.

Turns out (and sorry if I scare you about this) that the soldiers who executed her family used different methods to kill the offspring of the Czar, because his daughters wore jewels in their corsets to protect them. The people responsible for the killing said they killed the Romanovs using certain methods, but physical evidence shows little prove that what they said are 100% correct.

The reason for Anastasia's family's downfall is that the Russian commoners were living an unusually hard lives, while Russian royalty had really special privileges. Keep in mind, Anastasia was Queen Victoria's great-granddaughter, so she even had connections to other parts of European royalty.

I almost cried when I found out. I refused to believe that Anastasia, the princess I would have died to be when I was a child, could have died that way. by now she would probably have been dead anyway, but I wanted her to have lived a happy life.

The cartoon is kinda cliche, but I still prefer that over actual Romanov history, or at least the last part of the history. This is an ongoing case, I just hope there's is something I find out that can put me at peace. Too bad, so few people my age know about Anastasia, or at least the truth about her.

*Which is why I love the Royal Diaries so much :D

Yeah. I really wished that she didn't die, but we have to be honest with ourselves, I guess. All of the proof points that way. It really is too bad, although you're right, she'd probably be dead by now anyways. *sigh... And, Elsie, you are so right that hardly anyone knows about her these days. (especially teens my age who don't care about history, which is really sad...)

Yeah, teens are like worst-case scenarios for learning history. lol. BTW I'm a teen too!!!

Yeah, I sort of assumed. And it's really sad because I absolutely love historical fiction, and there are only a few of my friends who I can talk into reading it. (We have to read some historical fiction for school, but some of it is really crummy, generic stuff anyways. I wish that students could, like, nominate books to read in English and then the teachers vote. That way at least some of our book choices would be interesting.) However, to their credit, when I force an exceptional historical novel down the throats (that idiom does not make sense because they are reading it, but Oh Well...) they do read it, and they like it. At least they say they like it and I believe them. I do have one friend, however, who likes historical books a lot (although she can't stand the generic ones) so when I read one that is decently original or better, I lend it to her. And, SURPRISE, some times she's actually read it before!!! Meaning that there's one more person who pursues historical fiction on their own!!! Victory!!! ;-)

:))))) Unfortunately, I don't have many friends at my school who are interested in historical fiction, although I have some acquaintances who are. Its so cool that you do have a few friends who have the same interests as you!!! :D

Yeah, I count myself as very lucky. My best friend is the main one, but I can pretty easily convince others to read historical books. Like, in the third grade, I got my friend to read a book (won't say which one because I don't want to spoil it) and after finishing it, she says, "Actually, my favorite part was in the historical note when they told about lining up all the men on mattresses and killing them all ten at a time." And I thought, "Okay..." She enjoyed the book, too, though. She just discovered something interesting. (She loves interesting things.) My best friend was really into the plot, like me. She had the same types of questions that I had throughout the book. Now, these two agreed to write a book (the three of us) about three girls immigrating to America. Sadly, they haven't followed through quite yet (I think we all forgot about it over summer) so I've started it on my own... So, yes, my point being, I am very glad that there are others around who I can talk to about historical fiction. (And I also e-mail my elementary school librarian for suggestions, because let me tell you, the librarians at my current school are really busy and don't talk to the kids that much, so I can't ask them.) ;-)
