ROMANOV FAMILY: “HOUSE OF SPECIAL PURPOSE” – THE IPATIEV HOUSE IN EKATERINBURG

 ROMANOV FAMILY: “HOUSE OF SPECIAL PURPOSE” – THE IPATIEV HOUSE IN EKATERINBURG

In spring of 1918, the Romanov family was moved to Ekaterinburg, a city in Russia’s Urals. There they were held captive in a house which belonged to engineer Ipatiev, where they would ultimately be killed.

The words “Ipatiev house” have since become associated with the murder of the Russian imperial family.

Below are the descriptions of the house from the letters of Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna, as well as photographs and rare contemporary video footage of the last residence of the Romanov family.
