The Imperial Family of Russia all died in 1918,
right? Wrong! While the Tsar, his wife and five
children were indeed shot to death in Yekaterinburg
on July 17, 1918, many nieces, nephews, and cousins
escaped the murderous hands of the Bolsheviks.
Whatever happened to them?

Romanovs in the 21st Century answers that very
question. This work is not the story of any one
person, but is the biography of a family. Emperor
Nicholas I died in 1855 and is the common root of
all of the branches of the Romanov family tree. As
we travel up and down each branch like a squirrel we
will examine each of the leaves that are still
attached, and maybe even find a nut or two.

The Romanovs have spread across the earth and now
live on all continents, including a few who have
remained in Russia. The current generation is no
longer living in the gilded palaces of St.
Petersburg, but do make up a good cross-section of
21st century society. They include everything from
runway models to the crowned heads of Europe; from a
Broadway star to a farmer in Tuscany. This is their
combined story.
