THE LAST DAYS OF THE ROMANOVS BY GEORGE GUSTAV TELBERG PROFESSOR OF LAW IN SARATOV UNIVERSITY AND FORMER MINISTER OF JUSTICE OF THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT AT OMSK AND ROBERT WILTON SPECIAL RUSSIAN CORRESPONDENT FOR THE TIMES. LONDON ILLUSTRATED NEW XBir YORK HEORGE H, DORAN COMPANY PUBLISHERS NOTE During the night between the i6th and 17th of July, 1918, the former Russian Emperor Nicholas II, his family, as well as all the persons Attached to it, were murdered by the order of the Yekaterinburg oviet of workmens deputies. The news of this crime broke through the closed ring that surrounded Bolshe vist Russia aad spread over the entire world. At the end of July, 1918, the town of Yekaterin burg was taken from the Bolsheviks by the forces of the Siberian Government. Shortly after their occu pation of the district an investigation was ordered to be made of the circumstances attendant on the mur der. A judicial examination therefore took place of the witnesses connected with the life of the imperial family at Czarskoe-Selo, Tobolsk and Yekaterinburg by N. A. Sokoloff, the Investigating Magistrate for Cases of Special Importance of the Omsk Tribunal. Upon the fall of the Kolchak regime, copies of the depositions were taken from the archives by M. George Gustav Telberg, Professor of Law at the University of Saratov and Minister of Justice at Omsk, when he fled with the other ministers of the Omsk government. These combined statements re construct the life-story of the imperial family from the time of the emperors abdication until the murder PUBLISHERS NOTE of himself, his wife, his children, including the czare vitch, and their few faithful servants in IpatiefFs house at Yekaterinburg. The translator has endeavored to preserve the orig inal simplicity, and in some cases the crudeness and lack of education apparent in the witnesses. Colonel Kobylinsky, M. Gilliard and Mr. Gibbes are edu cated men who apparently gave their evidence with out displaying any outward emotion, but, though they did not exaggerate the sufferings of thd imperial family, they were not eye-witnesses of the final hours of their captivity. The testimony of the soldiers strikes a more sin ister note. Two of them witnessed most of the daily happenings at IpatiefFs house, but they display cer tain evidences of pity and of having been well-dis posed towards the prisoners whose murder they condemned. Indeed these men are most insistent that the crime was committed by the Letts. The third soldier Medvedeff took an active part in the murder. The narrative of Mr. Robert Wilton which sup plements the translations of the official records is, we think, a document of incalculable value. Written by a man who for sixteen years was correspondent for the London Times in Russia, and who not only speaks Russian but was present throughout the inves tigation of the scene of the murder and during the search for the relies, his story has a poignancy and an intrinsic value that cannot be overestimated. vi PUBLISHERS NOTE It is proper here to explain to the reader that the contents of this volume as represented by the Official Depositions in Part I and Mr. Robert Wiltons Nar rative in Part II came into existence quite independ ently and without the design, originally, of publish ing them together. Mr. Wilton, who escaped from Siberia after the fall of the Kolchak Government, took with him one of three copies of the dossier of the official investigation. Upon this original source he based his story, adding to it certain facts which he had personally gathered. By a most fortunate circumstance, George H. Doran Company, who were preparing for the press the depositions secured by M. George Gustav Telburg, learned of Mr. Wiltons narrative, and arrangements were immediately made to combine the records in one volume. As the two parts of the book are from different sources, no effort has been made to secure uniformity in certain minor variations in the spellings of proper names...

A Shocking True Story

Complete, shocking story of how, and why, the Soviet secret police massacred Tsar Nicholas II, his wife Alexandra, and their five children. As head of the dynasty that had ruled Russia for three centuries, Nicholas II personified his land and people. His cold-blooded murder by order of Lenin and Sverdlov was thus symbolic of the Communist effort to obliterate a rich national and cultural heritage, and presaged the terrible Soviet bloodletting of later years. Dramatic yet meticulous account by a veteran British journalist and historian, based on the official on-site inquest of Russian investigator Nikolai Sokolov -- the most thorough ever conducted. As special correspondent in Russia for the London Times during the years of revolution and civil war, the author writes with authority and rare candor. He forthrightly assigns responsibility for the historic crime, showing the role of racial-ethnic revenge in motivating the killers. The crucial Jewish role in the Communist takeover of Russia and the early Bolshevik regime is detailed in an eye-opening introduction by historian Mark Weber, and an appendix by the author. Attractive, updated new edition of an authoritative but long-suppressed work. A generous selection of rare and revealing photographs supplements the text.

Amazing!

I have been meaning to get around to this book for a long time and am happy now to have finally read it. The book is well written and meticulously documented. Wilton's perspective in writing this book in the 1920's just after the Great War, is extremely important for one who would evaluate it objectively. Keep in mind that this book was written at a time when anti-German propaganda in England was at its height. If anything, the book is anti-German in tone. That some reviewers have chosen to style it "anti-Semitic" merely demonstrates how frightened certain individuals are of any relevation of the truth.

Within the corpus of this important book is laid bare the monstrous plan of the fiends who usurped Holy Russia and who ritually murdered the entire Romanov family. This included not just Saint Nicholas II and Alexandra, but also their daughters and son. Included in the carnage were also the surviving close relatives of the Tsar. The monsters who took over Holy Russia felt that they had to kill the entire family. This demonstrates for all to see the level of their deviltry.

The destruction of Holy Russia was symbolized by the murder of the Romanov family. And this act symbolically signified the end of the Constantian era. Moscow was truly the Third Rome, following Rome itself and then Constantinople. The final symbolic act, which revealed the mind of the murderers was the consecration by the bloody Bolsheviks of Judas Iscariot. What more significant sigil could there be of the anti-Christian mind set of the monsters who destroyed Holy Russia?

The book is excellent. Read it. And be enriched and blessed by the experience.

The Last Days of the Romanovs - An Account of the Murder of the Russian Tsar and His Imperial Family.

_The Last Days of the Romanovs: How Tsar Nicholas II and Russia's Imperial Family Were Murdered_, first published in 1920 and republished here by the Institute for Historical Review, written by British journalist Robert Wilton is a fascinating account of the untimely murders of the Russian tsar Nicholas II and his family which fully explores who was really behind these murders. Robert Wilton was the correspondent of the London _Times_ in Russia for over 17 years and this book details his account of what happened to the Russian tsar which led to the rise of Bolshevism. As Mark Weber notes in his Preface, while Russia was not without its problems during the time of the tsar, his untimely murder and the murder of his own family was entirely unnecessary and indeed for many the tsar has come to take on the status of a martyr. Indeed, according to this Preface, Tsar Nicholas II has been canonized by the independent "Orthodox Church Abroad" in 1981 and the Moscow-based Russian Orthodox Church has been under similar pressure to break taboo and take the same step. This book maintains that an overwhelming Jewish presence was behind the murder of the tsar, but also tries to blame the German Kaiser for involvement in the "Red Revolution". As has been pointed out by Igor Shafarevich, a dissident Russian mathematician, in his book _Russophobia_, an amazingly large number of Jews were involved in the personnel of the Russian secret police. However, it should be noted that ultimately the Soviet state turned on the Jews when Stalin began persecuting them. This book offers a fascinating account of the untimely death and murder of the Russian tsar Nicholas II and his entire family. This truly tragic and hateful incident represents a low point in Russian history which ushered in the Bolshevik terror. This book also includes several important pictures showing details from the activities of the royal family, their servants, their murderers, and some of the forensic evidence involved in the case.

The first chapter of this book is entitled "Prologue" and explains how Nicholas II, his wife, and family came to be martyred at Ekaterinburg on the night of July 16, 1918 along with their faithful attendants by the Bolsheviks. The author explains that fear of plots by anti-Bolshevik forces (the Whites) to rescue and free the tsar cannot be used as extenuating circumstances to excuse this heinous act. The author notes that many tales have circulated about this ghastly series of murders and explains how he came to be involved in reporting on them. He notes his visit to the Ipatiev house where the victims had lived, noting the forensic evidence of the case including bullet-holes in the wall and bloodstains as well as inscriptions in Hebrew, German, and Magyar. The second chapter of this book is entitled "The Stage and the Actors". Here, the author explains the critical actors that were involved in the killings. The author explains the alleged German and Jewish role behind the killings noting the influence of the ideology of Karl Marx on the revolutionaries. The author notes the role of Ludendorff as well as some of Lenin's "fellow travelers" in the Bolshevik revolution. The third chapter of this book is entitled "No Escape: Alexandra Misjudged". Here, the author explains the special role of Rasputin for the Russian empress, noting also the hatred that was felt for the empress, and her pro-German sympathies, as well as the role of the Hesse disease on the imperial family. The fourth chapter of this book is entitled "Rasputin the Peasant". The author shows how this peasant Rasputin came to have an obscure relationship with the Russian empress. The author details Rasputin's alleged occult powers which he dismisses as well as the tendency of the empress to dabble in black magic, including the visits of occultist individuals like Philippe, Papus, and Badmaiev (a dabbler in Tibetan medicine) to the Russian palace. The author also notes the details of Rasputin's murder by Purishkevitch. The fifth chapter of this book is entitled "'The Tsar is Innocent'". Here, the author explains how various rumors circulated about the tsar some maintaining that he was a traitor and in secret communication with the Germans. The author explains how the empress and her family came to be arrested by General Kornilov and how subsequently the tsar was arrested too in the palace. From there, the prisoners were taken away to Tobolsk. The sixth chapter is entitled "Exile in Siberia" and explains the exile of the tsar and his family in Siberia in the period between August 1917 and the following spring. The author explains the life of the family at Tobolsk including their relationship with the priest Father Vasiliev. The seventh chapter of this book is entitled "Moscow and Berlin" and explains the connection between these two cities as well as the role of the Germans. The eighth chapter of this book is entitled "Via Crucis" and further details the cruel treatment of the tsar and his family at Ekaterinburg at the Ipatiev house. The ninth chapter of this book is entitled "Calvary" and explains how the tsar and his family came to be shot as witnessed to by three eyewitnesses. The author explains the smears against the tsar that he was an "arch-capitalist" and "drinker of blood" used against him to justify his brutal murder. The ninth chapter of this book is entitled "'Without Trace'" and explains what happens after the murder and some of the forensic evidence involved in the case. The tenth chapter of this book is entitled "'Murder Will Out'" and details some of the evidence found at the death-house. Among other details this chapter examines the various clues and articles of the Romanovs which were found. This chapter also explains the inscription from Heine in German found in the death-chamber. This inscription from a poem by the Jew Heine explains the fate of Belshazzar, a Gentile king slain for having offended Israel. The twelfth chapter of this book is entitled "All the Romanovs" and explains the murders of the rest of the Romanovs and the "Red Inquisition". The thirteenth chapter of this book is entitled "The Jackals" and explains the failure of the Omsk Government largely composed of Socialist Revolutionaries to concern themselves with the murder of the tsar and his family. The fourteenth chapter of this book is entitled "By Order of the `Tsik'" and explains the "Tsik" (the Central Executive Committee) in trying the tsar and "sentencing" him to death. This committee feared the Russian people and the Romanovs and was largely composed of Jews. As the author notes, Soviet Russia consecrated three individuals and erected monuments to them - Karl Marx, Judas Iscariot, and Leo Tolstoy (reprensenting respectively the Revolution, Apostasy, and Anarchism; two of them being Jews). The fifteenth chapter is entitled "The Red Kaiser" and explains the alleged role of the German Kaiser in promoting the Red Revolution (though as Mark Weber notes in his Preface some of these claims may be problematic and have been prompted by anti-German hysteria brought on by the First World War; afterall, it should be noted that the Russian Tsar Nicholas II, the German Kaiser Wilhelm, and England's King George were all first cousins!). The sixteenth and final chapter is an "Epilogue" which goes through some of the relics found at the Ipatiev house and explains the suffering of the royal family there, where even their poor dog was brutally killed. The author notes that in addition to the words of Heine concerning "Belsatzar", various mysterious inscriptions were found in the death chamber that remain indecipherable as well as the swastika used as a symbol of good luck by the empress Alexandra. The book ends with appendices detailing the members of the imperial family, a chronology of events, and some of the other many names that have appeared in connection with the murders, as well as the Statement of Pavel Medvedev, a Brief History of Russian Jewry, and an appendix detailing the Jewish Role in the Early Soviet Regime.

This book offers a disturbing account of the tragic events that led to the brutal murder of the Russian tsar and his imperial family. These murders were truly brutal and entirely uncalled for. Further, this brought in a reign of tyranny under the Bolshevik oppressors and the rise of the Soviet state. As such, this remains an important story to be told for all those who seek to reclaim the true history of Russia.

This is a wonderful book

When I was in high school, I found "Last Days .. " in the library and every time I came across it could not put it down. I tried and tried to find copies in used book stores, but it was never available until the new edition came out. I was exceedingly happy to find this book available.

Mr. Wilton gives the best account of the murders of the Royal Family available until the fall of communism, when the work of researchers who had labored secretly to solve the mystery and find the remains of Nicholas and his family was revealed. And Yurovsky's report of the murders was retrieved from the archives.

This book is not anti-semitic. It is factual: the new appendice is very useful in illustrating the prominence of jewish individuals in the creation of soviet Russia. There is nothing wrong with pointing out that information. Karl Marx himself was jewish.
