They all (the Czar family) should be buried, only after that we can say that the civil war is over in Russia, which is very important for the country. I want to stress that more important than the formal legal procedures is the moral sense, which must emerge and become sharp. We must say to each other - yes, we committed a terrible crime, but we repent and we draw a line (under it).

LEAD IN:
The mysterious history of the Romanovs, the Russian royal family, seemed to end in 1998, when the remains of Nicholas II, his wife, Alexandra and their three daughters were laid to rest with state honours in Saint Petersburg.
In 1918 the whole family was shot dead in a basement in Yekaterinburg.
But just a few days ahead of the 90th anniversary of the royal family massacre, the question of authenticity and rehabilitation of the Czar's family is once again in the spotlight.
STORYLINE:
The funeral service for Nicholas II, his wife, Alexandra and their three daughters was held in St. Catherine Chapel in the St. Peter and Paul Cathedral, where all other Russian Emperors since Peter the Great lie.
Nicholas II abdicated after the Bolsheviks came to power in 1917. The Czar, his wife, their son and four daughters were detained.

Волгоградцы почтили память жертв политических репрессий.
30 октября в России отмечается День памяти жертв политических репрессий.
Центральное благочиние Волгоградской епархии присоединилось к всероссийской акции «Молитва памяти». Акция носит не политический характер, заключается в совершении поминовения безвинно убиенных в советские годы.
В прошлом году данная акция проводилась рядом с храмом Урюпинской иконы Божией Матери. В течении 2 часов были помянуты имена репрессированных жителей Сталинградской области, записанные в первой (из трёх) книге «Петля: Воспоминания, очерки, документы».
По данным епархиальной комиссии по канонизации святых, в Царицыне и Сталинградской области при советской власти было репрессировано более тысячи священнослужителей. Среди них первый святой, прославленный в Волгоградской епархии, священномученик Николай Попов; местночтимый святой Калачевской епархии, священномученик Петр Никотин (расстрелян в 1937 году на Бутовском полигоне); последний настоятель Александро-Невского собора Царицына, новомученик, протоиерей Иаков Горохов; настоятель Вознесенской церкви протоирей Алексей Лебедев, священнослужители Казанского собора Царицына — протоиерей Алексей Могилин и протодиакон Тимофей Акимов и сотни других имен.
Всероссийский день памяти жертв советских репрессий — 30 октября официально установлен в 1991 году. В этот день имена репрессированных традиционно читают у Соловецкого камня и на Бутовском полигоне в Москве, в Петербурге и Екатеринбурге, в других регионах России — у памятников жертвам политических репрессий, в местах массовых расстрелов, а также там, где стояли раньше взорванные и разрушенные в советское время храмы.

Volgograd Arena - Mamayev Kurgan walk [4k]
Walk from FIFA World Cup 2018 Stadium - Volgograd Arena to memorial complex Mamayev Kurgan in Volgograd city. This is one of the most sad and at the same time memorable places in Russia, where you are pierced by all the sorrow that the Soviet people experienced in World War II.
To find on Google Maps:
Mamayev Kurgan (Russian: Мамаев курган) is a dominant height overlooking the city of Volgograd (formerly Stalingrad) in Southern Russia. The name in Russian means tumulus of Mamai. The formation is dominated by a memorial complex commemorating the Battle of Stalingrad (August 1942 to February 1943). The battle, a hard-fought Soviet victory over Axis forces on the Eastern front of World War II, turned into one of the bloodiest battles in human history. At the time of its installation in 1967 the statue named The Motherland Calls on Mamayev Kurgan formed the largest free-standing sculpture in the world; as of 2018 it is the tallest sculpture of a woman in the world
When forces of the German Sixth Army launched their attack against the city centre of Stalingrad on 13 September 1942, Mamayev Kurgan (appearing in military maps as Height 102.0) saw particularly fierce fighting between the German attackers and the defending soldiers of the Soviet 62nd Army. Control of the hill became vitally important, as it offered control over the city. To defend it, the Soviets had built strong defensive lines on the slopes of the hill, composed of trenches, barbed-wire and minefields. The Germans pushed forward against the hill, taking heavy casualties. When they finally captured the hill, they started firing on the city centre, as well as on the city's main railway station under the hill. They captured the Volgograd railway station on 14 September 1942.
On the same day, the Soviet 13th Guards Rifle Division commanded by Alexander Rodimtsev arrived in the city from the east side of the river Volga under heavy German artillery fire. The division's 10,000 men immediately rushed into the battle. On 16 September they recaptured Mamayev Kurgan and kept fighting for the railway station, taking heavy losses. By the following day, almost all of them had died. The Soviets kept reinforcing their units in the city as fast as they could. The Germans assaulted up to twelve times a day, and the Soviets would respond with fierce counter-attacks.
The hill changed hands several times. By 27 September, the Germans again captured half of Mamayev Kurgan. The Soviets held their own positions on the slopes of the hill, as the 284th Rifle Division defended the key stronghold. The defenders held out until 26 January 1943, when the counterattacking Soviet forces relieved them. The battle of the city ended one week later with an utter German defeat.
When the battle ended, the soil on the hill had been so thoroughly churned by shellfire and mixed with metal fragments that it contained between 500 and 1,250 splinters of metal per square meter. The earth on the hill had remained black in the winter, as the snow kept melting in the many fires and explosions. In the following spring the hill would still remain black, as no grass grew on its scorched soil. The hill's formerly steep slopes had become flattened in months of intense shelling and bombardment. Even today, it is possible to find fragments of bone and metal still buried deep throughout the hill.
After the war, the Soviet authorities commissioned the enormous Mamayev Kurgan memorial complex. Vasily Chuikov, who led Soviet forces at Stalingrad, lies buried at Mamayev Kurgan, the first Marshal of the Soviet Union to be buried outside Moscow. Soviet sniper Vasily Zaytsev was also reburied there in 2006.
The monumental memorial was constructed between 1959 and 1967, and is crowned by a huge allegorical statue of the Motherland on the top of the hill. The monument, designed by Yevgeny Vuchetich, has the full name The Motherland Calls! (Russian: Родина-мать зовёт! Rodina Mat Zovyot!). It consists of a concrete sculpture, 52 metres tall, and 85 metres from the feet to the tip of the 27-metre sword, dominating the skyline of the city of Stalingrad (later renamed Volgograd).

Mundial de Fútbol Rusia - World Cup Russia 2018
La Copa Mundial de la FIFA Rusia 2018 - FIFA - será la XXI edición de la Copa Mundial de Fútbol.
Esta edición del evento se realizará en Rusia entre el 14 de junio y el 15 de julio de 2018, siendo la primera oportunidad en que dicho país organiza el campeonato y la primera vez en la historia que se celebre en un país de Europa Oriental.
Rusia confirmó 12 estadios en 11 ciudades: Ekaterimburgo, Kaliningrado, Kazán, Krasnodar, Moscú, Nizhni Nóvgorod, Rostov del Don, San Petersburgo, Samara, Sochi, Volgogrado y Saransk, las cuales albergarán los 64 partidos de la Copa Mundial
Kazán. Situada a orillas del majestuoso rio Volga, a unos 800 km al este de Moscú, Kazán fue fundada en 1005 por los protobúlgaros como una fortaleza y un importante centro de comercio. Kazán fue conquistada para Rusia por el zar Iván el Terrible en 1552. Hoy es una de las ciudades más prosperas de Rusia, capital de la región de Tartaristán, y posee un elevado grado de autonomía dentro de la Federación Rusa. Muchos de sus habitantes se expresan en su idioma propio, y mantienen su religión, cultura, tradiciones y costumbres. Kazán es oficialmente denominada la “Tercera Capital de Rusia”, tras Moscú y San Petersburgo. En su Universidad estudiaron personajes históricos como Lenin y Tolstoi. Kazán es un punto de encuentro de los mundos Oriental y Occidental, un cruce de culturas y tradiciones europeas, rusas y tártaras. La ciudad está dividida en dos barrios principales, el ruso y el tártaro, separados entre sí por el lago Qaban y el canal Bolaq. El contraste entre las cúpulas de las iglesias ortodoxas rusas y los minaretes de las mezquitas tártaras le da a la ciudad un carácter y una atmósfera únicos. Kazán es un importante centro cultural y educativo, con numerosos teatros, museos, salas de conciertos, festivales y eventos internacionales, bibliotecas y universidades. Kazán ha sido declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO.
El centro histórico lo constituyen antiguas mansiones, casas de comerciantes, edificios culturales e industriales del siglo XIX y principios del XX. Pasearemos por la calle Bauman, principal arteria peatonal del centro, donde se encuentra la catedral de Pedro y Pablo, en estilo barroco ruso, que se alza en perfecta armonía con el vecino edificio clásico de la Universidad Estatal de Kazán. La calle Kremlyovskaya es el centro cultural de la ciudad, muy cerca se encuentran el Teatro Dramatice Bolshói, la Opera de Kazán, la Biblioteca Nacional y el Ayuntamiento. Al otro lado del canal Bolaq y del lago Qaban entraremos en el antiguo barrio tártaro de la ciudad, donde los tártaros debieron instalarse tras la conquista de Kazán por los rusos. La mezquita Mardzhani, la mezquita Azimov y muchas otras elevan sus minaretes en esta área históricamente musulmana. En la confluencia del rio Kazanka con el poderoso Volga admiraremos el Monumento a los Soldados Caídos, el Palacio de la Agricultura, y el moderno edificio del Circo de Kazán. Finalizaremos nuestra visita panorámica en el Kremlin de Kazán.
Visita del Kremlin de Kazán. El antiguo Kremlin domina la ciudad, e impresiona por su magnitud y poderío. En la confluencia de los ríos Kazanka y Volga, el fuerte protobúlgaro de madera del siglo XII, destruido por los mongoles, fue reconstruido por los tártaros como una fortaleza que protegía su principado. Tras la conquista de la ciudad, Iván IV el Terrible ordeno la reconstrucción del Kremlin de Kazán siguiendo el mismo modelo. Fue completado entre 1556 y 1562 por maestros de Pskov. Dentro de su recinto amurallado se encuentran numerosos edificios históricos, el más antiguo de los cuales es la Catedral de la Anunciación (1561-62). Al igual que muchos otros edificios de la época, fue construida en la tradicional piedra de arenisca local, en vez de ladrillo, material utilizado en casi todo el resto de Rusia. Junto a ella se encuentra la Casa del Obispo (1829). Otro monumento de gran importancia es la mezquita Qol-Sharif, recientemente reconstruida en el interior del Kremlin. El Palacio de los Gobernadores (1845-1848), edificado en el lugar donde estaba el palacio del Jan, es hoy en día el Palacio Presidencial. Cerca de la Torre Spasskaya se encuentra el Monasterio del Salvador, de 1557. Fue el principal foco misionero cristiano en estas tierras predominantemente musulmanas. Entre los numerosos edificios militares destacan el Cuerpo de Guardia, la Escuela de Cadetes, la Escuela Ecuestre y la Fundición de Cañones de Artillería. Entre las imponentes murallas y torres de sus fortificaciones se eleva la más alta estructura del Kremlin de Kazán, la Torre Inclinada Soyembika, llamada así en honor de la última zarina tártara. El Kremlin de Kazán ha sido declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO.

Kolya Derevenko's Nightmare
Kolya Derevenko's Nightmare
Kolya was interviewed sometime in the 1990's, as part of a promotion for the release of Romanovy: Ventsenosnaya Sem'ya, in 2003.
Rough translation: I was a little boy, just 12 years old. I didn't know anything about the evil in people's soul. We were living at the Popov house, nearby the Ipatiev house. In the middle of the summer of 1918, I was afraid and worry for Alexei. I wanted to see him and at the same time I'm sure, he wanted to see me. Until that sad day of July 17, 1918. My father, Gilliard, Gibbes and others knew everything, but I knew nothing. Something terrible was going to happen, but I didn't know what... In the last week of July 1918, Me, my father, Gilliard, Gibbes, etc. entered the Ipatiev house. A terrible scene there... The house was in complete chaos; diaries, letters, albums, and other items were all around in the house.. But where is Leskela? I asked my father, but he stayed quiet. Leskela's diary was found by a White guard, I think his name was Nemetkin, I'm not sure. But Leonid Sednev... I saw him. He cried. His cry was so loud... so loud!
I was confused. Papa, where is my Leskela? - I asked.
They killed him. He said, and then I started to cry.
But how? - I replied
They killed the Tsar, the Tsaritsa, and the Grand Duchesses also. All are dead. - said my father.
But I don't understand. Where... where are their bodies?
We don't know, maybe we'll never find them
I then realized that life could become brutal... I found Leskela's last letter written to me. One sentence in particular in that letter - I hug you warmly - made me cry so much. I thought And I hug you warmly, too, my dear friend, my tsar... I was in shock.
The following years, I thought just about him. Why did they killed you? In the USSR, there is no place for my Leskela. We'll be forever friends, my dear Tsesarevich... If I could see you just one more time, then I can die in peace...
Alexei and Kolya would sign their names backwards in their letters, that is why he refers to Alexei as Leskela. Kolya died in 1999 without knowing where Alexei was buried.
