When Tsar Nicholas II was executed in 1918 the Bolsheviks pumped the Russian
media full of misinformation. The official story was that the Tsarina and the
Prince had been spared and moved to a safe location. Absolutely nothing was
said about the four imperial princesses. This would give rise to one of the
most robust historical myths of the twentieth century--- that the Princess
Anastasia had escaped the execution and made her way to freedom. Soon
impostors started popping up all over Europe claiming to be the missing
princess. But were any of these claims legitimate? Tune in find out how "Dad
behaviour", Jamie Lee Curtis, the German Kaiser, and the best brother in the
world all play a role in the story.
