In the early morning of December 19, a floating corpse was discovered on Malaya Nevka near the bridge. He surfaced terribly - his pulled-up shirt froze to his body, revealing bullet wounds. There is a bruise on the face - a mark from a kick to the temple...* * *The corpses were placed in a hole and their faces and entire bodies were doused with sulfuric acid both to make them unrecognizable and to prevent the stench from decomposition... Having covered them with earth and brushwood, sleepers were placed on top and We drove by several times and there were no traces of the hole left. (From the “Note” of Ya. Yurovsky, who led the execution of the Royal Family on the night of July 17, 1918)* * *...Well, I entered this room and looked through the open door to the small dining room, and there on the floor the Master was lying with his right hand picked it up... like this. - Here Lozgachev raised his half-bent hand. - ... He probably hadn’t lost consciousness yet, but he couldn’t speak either.
