BBC ALBA - Tuiteam an Teaghlaich Romanov/Last Days of the Romanovs

Sgeulachd bàis an teaghlach Romanov The story of the Romanov's assassination.

Sgeulachd bàis Nicholas Romanov II agus a theaghlach. Documentary following the investigation into the story of one of the world's most fabled royal families.

Tràth sa mhadainn air an 17mh là den Iuchar, 1918, chaidh Nicholas Romanov II, a bhean, a mhac, agus a cheathrar nighean a chur gu bàs le sgioba losgaidh Bolshevik. Ann am fras de pheilearan, chaidh an teaghlach rìoghail a mharbhadh. Airson bliadhnaichean an dèidh làimh, bha mi-chinnt ann mu dè thachair dhan teaghlach. Ann an 1991 chaidh cuirp a' lorg ann an coille Sibereanach agus thòisich an Caidreachas Ruiseanach air an rannsachadh foireansach a bu mhotha ann an eachdraidh na Ruis. An dèidh bliadhna a' rannsachadh an fhianais thàinig iad gu co-dhùnadh ach, an ann dha rìreabh leis an teaghlach rìoghail Romanov a bha an dust? Carson a bha dà chorp a dhìth a-mach as an aon corp deug a bha air chall? An d' fhuair dithis dhen teaghlach Romanov air falbh air an oidhche dhorch a bha siud? Dè tha ri ionnsachadh mu dheidhinn an sgeulachd dhuilich a tha seo? Tha am prògram a' leantainn an rannsachaidh airson freagairt fhaighinn air na ceistean dhomhainn seo.

In the early hours of July 17, 1918, a Bolshevik firing squad massacred Nicholas Romanov II, his wife, four daughters and the young prince regent. In a volley of shots the dynasty was assassinated, only to be replaced by years of theory and speculation. In 1991, gruesome remains in a Siberian forest spurred the Russian Federation to mount the biggest forensic investigation in Russian history.

After a year analysing the remains, a verdict was decided but were the bones those of the Tsar and his family? Why were the scientists only able to reconstruct 9 skeletons when there should have been 11? Did two young Romanovs escape the massacre in the darkness? What is the real story of one of the world's most fabled royal families? This documentary follows the investigation to try and answer these questions once and for all.
