4. Leaving the Mansion
Despite the Romanov’s constant belief that there were plots to save them from their captivity, the rescue never came. By the spring of 1918, the time came to move the Romanovs from the Mansion in Tobolsk. Then a man named Yakov Yurovsky would move them to the Ipatiev house in Yekaterinburg, Russia, in the Ural Mountains. This image is of the formal dining room of the Ipatiev house. That would be the last place the Romanovs would ever live. Yurovsky advised the Romanovs that they would be safe from the chaos erupting in Russia in this house. He was lying through his teeth.
