Ipatiev House

Ipatiev House, Yekaterinburg (city later renamed Sverdlovsk)

Ipatiev House (Russian: Дóм Ипáтьева) was a merchant's house in Yekaterinburg (city in 1924 renamed Sverdlovsk, in 1991 renamed back to Yekaterinburg) where the abdicated Emperor Nicholas II of Russia (1868–1918, reigned 1894–1917), all his immediate family, and other members of his household were murdered[1] in July 1918 following the Bolshevik Revolution.

By chance, from 1908 the house's name was identical with that of the Ipatiev Monastery in Kostroma, whence the Romanov dynasty had come to the throne. In 1977, on the 60th anniversary of the Russian Revolution, the Ipatiev house was demolished by order of the Politburo to the local Soviet government, almost 59 years after the Romanov family murder and 14 years before the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
