Genetic laboratories in the USA and Austria completed the research of the "royal remains"

The genetic laboratories in the USA and Austria completed the research of the so -called "royal remains", but a number of examinations continues in the Sverdlovsk Bureau of the Judge of Journal, Interfax reports.

The head of the Sverdlovsk Regional Bureau of Forensic Medical Examination, Nikolai Nevolin, said that a number of examinations are completed, and a number is not yet and, apparently, the studies will have some continuation. "For example, an examination has not yet been completed related to the possibility of allocating in the DNA of the areas responsible for the development of hemophilia (this disease was suffered by the son of Nicholas II Alexei)," Nenolin said.

The results obtained will be sent to reviewers so that they determine how fully and reasonably these studies are conducted. Accordingly, the results will be voiced closer to mid -July after the reviews are received, Nenolin said. “Well, the studies are likely to continue further,” the expert said.

Fragments of the bodies of two people with signs of violent death - a child 10-14 years old and women aged 20 years - were discovered on the old Koptyakovsky road in the vicinity of Yekaterinburg during the survey work in July 2007. Currently, the version is considered that the discovered remains may belong to the Tsarevich Alexei and Grand Duchess Maria Romanova shot in 1918.

Genetic studies of the “tsarist remains” were conducted in the Sverdlovsk Regional Bureau of forensic medical examination, laboratory in Moscow, the DNA identification laboratory of the US Armed Forces, the Genetic Laboratory of the University of Massachusetts and the Laboratory in the city of InSbruck (Austria).

The last Russian emperor Nicholas II and his family members were shot by the Bolsheviks on the night of July 17, 1918 in Yekaterinburg.

In July 1991, near Yekaterinburg, the remains of Nicholas II, his family members and persons from their environment were discovered under the embankment of the old Koptyakov road. In 1993, the Prosecutor General opened a criminal case.

After three genetic examinations conducted in 1993 in England, in 1995 - in the USA and in 1997 - in Russia, a special commission came to the conclusion that the found remains are the remains of 9 members of the family of the last Russian emperor Nicholas II. On July 17, 1998, they were buried in the Peter and Paul Cathedral of St. Petersburg. The criminal case was thus terminated.
