ROMANOV FAMILY: Is Russian Orthodox Church “Not Convinced Remains in Tomb of Alexander III Are His”?
ROMANOV FAMILY REMAINS INVESTIGATION CONTINUES:
Is Russian Orthodox Church “not convinced remains in tomb of Alexander III are his”?
Vladimir Soloviev, the head of the Committee of the Investigation of the murders of the Romanov family has been replaced. The new head is Igor Krasnov, Acting Head of the Main Investigation Department of the TFR. According to sources, the decision was made at the insistence of the Patriarchate management.
These recent personnel changes are undoubtedly a blow to Soloviev, who has reportedly been a “long-time eyesore to the Church,” and whom they “are now trying to push out of the game completely.” Sources of this information do not exclude the possibility that this replacement may be followed by the removal of a number of experts engaged by Soloviev, and accordingly by retention of new ones recommended by the Church instead.
