From the beginning of the 1990s and to the present time, the official version of Prosecutor General’s Office and Investigative Committee RF is based on the so-called. «The note of Yurovsky», which for the first time after the opening the party archives was found and published at the end of the 1980s by the writer Edvard Radzinsky (he himself, as far as I know, never claimed unequivocally that all the facts in this note of Chekist-regicide were absolute truth).

In the shortest form, the essence of this note is as follows: on the night of July 17, all members of the Tsar’s family (seven person), Dr. Botkin, and three servants were woken and assembled in the basement of Ipatiev’s house under the pretext of the riots in the city; into the basement, Yurovsky had read them the decision of Ural Council about their execution; immediately afterwards they were shot; the shooting was complicated by the gunpowder smoke, filling the basement – several prisoners were still alive and they were brutally finished off with bayonets; after that all the bodies were taken to the forest (Koptyakovsky forest); a part of these bodies was dismembered and then were burned; the remains were doused with sulfuric acid and buried. The place of the burial was also indicated in the Yurovsky’s note.

Just at this place (near the «Ganin Pit» in the Koptyakovsky forest) in 1979, the remains of nine people were found by Avdonin and Ryabov;

In 1994—1998, the government commission identified these remains as the remains of Nicholas II, Alexandra Fyodorovna, their daughters, Olga, Tatiana, Anastasia, Dr. Eugene Botkin, and three servants of the royal family. In summer 2007, near with the same Ganin Pit, there were found 46 small fragments of bone remains of two more (boy and girl) – presumably (or alleged) of Alexei and Maria.

Critics of this release, and of «Note of Yurovsky» are pointing to the many contradictory facts, as well as on several dozens of discrepancies between this Note and the known (from other party archives and publications) memories of witnesses and other participants of the murder (the memories of Ermakov, Strekotin and others). Also it proved that the «Yurovsky’s Note» was composed by main Bolshevik historian (Pokrovsky), who is known with his participation in the fraud of alleged historical texts. Even the Bolsheviks called this historian as «the dashing olderman.» Although the «Note» was signed by Yurovsky himself and the original contained his own editing, however the main Bolshevik historian might well convince Yurovsky to sign up what the Central Committee of CP considered as necessary, rather than what was actually.
