Ipatiev house update,
continued.
1. Path taken by the family and the servants early Wednesday morning, July 17, 1918, to the basement. The letter "F" indicates where the Fiat truck was parked after they entered the ground floor area.
2. They descended the twenty three steps of the staircase and entered the courtyard through the door on the left, and then entered the ground floor area through the door on the right.
3. Photo of the floor in the cellar where the regicide took place, showing bullet holes and a bayonet mark.
4. The actual Fiat truck driven by Serge Lyukhanov that carried all the victims plus five guards to the Four Brother's mine and subsequently to Pig's Meadow.
5. The Ipatiev house being razed in July of 1977.
6. For more than twenty years, a small memorial was at the spot of the massacre, i.e. between the time that the house was razed and the time that work on the Cathedral of The Blood began.
7. Ascension Cathedral, which was directly across the street from the Ipatiev house. As far as I know, it still stands today.
