Helen Rappaport, author and historian, takes a close-up view of the murder of the Romanovs in Ekaterinburg in July 1918, examining the nature of the family’s captivity inside the Ipatiev House, the botched and hasty disposal of the bodies afterwards and the subsequent search to uncover the remains and subject them to DNA testing. She will also bring the story up to date by explaining how the Romanovs, now elevated to sainthood, are at the heart of a massive revival of the Orthodox Church in Russia.
