Yekaterinburg, Russia
Ipatiev House
Ipatiev House was a merchant's house in Yekaterinburg where the abdicated Nicholas II, all his immediate family, and other house members were executed in July 1918 following the October Revolution. By chance, from 1908 the house's name was identical with that of the Ipatiev Monastery in Kostroma, where the Romanov dynasty had come to the throne. In 1977, on the 60th anniversary of the Russian Revolution, the Ipatiev house was demolished by order of the Politburo to the local Soviet government, almost 59 years after the Romanov family murder and 14 years before the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
