-state the facts to prove that Natasha Romanoff is the last living descendant of the Romanov family. The Royal Family of Yekaterinburg, Russia, was the family of Romanovâs. They had been ruling for three centuries until one night the family was brought down to their cellar for a picture to prove that they hadnât been escaped and were, in fact, still in their castle. When the family was in the cellar being organized in rows for the photograph, the castle was invaded and a dozen men stormed in, shooting everyone in the basement, and anyone who was still alive was then reportedly stabbed to death.
The bodies of Nicholas, Alexandra and three of their children were excavated in a forest near Yekaterinburg many decades later and were identified as the family through DNA testing. The Crown Prince Alexei and the youngest daughter, Anastasia Romanov, bodies still hadnât been found. Thatâs where everything begins to go a little blurry. What if one of the attackers had taken pity on the 17-year-old girl, and decided she was worthy of saving or at least could be used as a pawn? Anastasia and Alexei couldâve been taken and hidden for many years until they either escaped from their captors, were sold, or many other things.Â
Anastasia couldâve escaped, fleeing to any town that she knew she wouldnât be recognized, and start a new life. Possibly even escaping to a town called Stalingrad. There she couldâve married and lived her life, and had a daughter, naming her Natalia Alianovna Romanova, a name that didnât raise any suspicions, but still held her origin as a Romanov. In 1928, Stalingrad was invaded by Naziâs, Anastasia mightâve thrown her daughter out of the burning house in an attempt and final wish to save her daughter, in hopes that someone would see the child and take it in, raising her daughter as their own.
During the Nazi invasion, a soldier named Ivan Petrovich Bezukhov found the baby, and took it in, raising and protecting the girl as if it were his own child. But after the girl was abducted, when Ivan got her back, he enrolled her in the Soviet government to join the U.S.S.R.âs âBlack Widow Opsâ program. There the young girl was trained in combat and espionage at the covert âRed Roomâ facility. Later, she was bio-technologically and psycho-technologically enhanced, receiving super soldier serum years later. Â
Other similarities between Natasha and Anastasia are their hair colours. Anastasia was described as having strawberry blond hair, and Anastasiaâs mother was described as having red-gold hair. I wasnât able to find any other physical similarities, but I do believe Iâve made up for it in other historical facts.
For all the reasons, facts, and explanations that Iâve mentioned and elaborated upon above, I hope you all see why I truly believe that Natalia âNatashaâ Alianovna Romanova âRomanoffâ is the last living descendant of the Royal Romanov Family of Yekaterinburg, technically meaning the crown should fall to her. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk essay.
