Remains Of The Romanov Family Authenticated By DNA Tests

The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for looking into heinous
crimes, revealed that the latest round of DNA testing confirmed the authenticity of the imperial family's
remains.
The tests were ordered by the Orthodox Church after disputing the results of the previous testing done in
2015 where the clergy said they felt sidelined.

The investigations also included exhuming the remains of Nicholas's father Alexander III, who himself
was assassinated in 1881. This was to confirm that both remains belonged to father and son.

Vladimir Legoida, the spokesperson for the Church, said they will consider the results of the latest tests.
He also praised the manner in which the investigation is being conducted.
