Search for the Remains of Michael Romanov

With the goal to find the remains of the Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovich Romanov and his secretary, who were killed by the Bolsheviks in June 1918, the SEARCH Foundation has sponsored archaeological expeditions (2009, 2012-2019) to Perm, Russia. The goal was to return to Russia in the summer of 2020, but due to COVID-19 restrictions, the search will continue in the summer of 2021. It will be a joined effort of Russian and American forensic experts as well as the Russian Orthodox Church and the local Perm Government, in order to finally close a very sad chapter in world history. ---------------- - ---------------- This video is produced as part of the project for the book “The Romanov Royal Martyrs”, which is an impressive 512-page book, featuring nearly 200 black & white photographs, and a 56-page photo insert of more than 80 high-quality images, colorized by the acclaimed Russian artist Olga Shirnina (Klimbim) and appearing here in print for the first time.
