Example text
Then someone begins to sing the old Tsarist anthem, Lord, Save the Tsar! ’, so they hum the rest. Back in Moscow, Ryabov tried to have the skulls identified. In Sverdlovsk he had been so sure that as a well-known writer and a researcher for the Interior Ministry he could pull strings at the famous Gerasimov Institute. He expected that the ethnographers there would make for him plastic reconstructions of the skulls and magically re-create the features of the Tsar’s children, either Alexei or Anastasia from the smaller of the two skulls, he thought, and probably Tatyana, the second daughter, from the larger.
Now, in 1991, as the Soviet Union creaked and toppled, its authoritarian structure undermined by Gorbachev’s reforms, Avdonin had decided to take matters in hand and had approached Eduard Rossel, the powerful chairman of the Sverdlovsk region Soviet, to announce that he could identify the Tsar’s grave. Seeing the chance for self-aggrandizement as the boss of the region where the Romanovs’ bones would be found, Rossel had had a word with his predecessor in Sverdlovsk and obtained the invaluable support of Boris Yeltsin, now President of Russia, who was steering his country towards a head-on collision with the dying Soviet Union.
His wife Galya, moreover, had become nervous about why Ryabov had encouraged them to keep the skull with the gold teeth – proof that this was the Tsar’s grave – in Sverdlovsk, and hadn’t taken it with him to Moscow. Ryabov has brought the stuff for making plaster casts of the skulls before they return them to the earth. They make the castings at the Avdonins’s dacha, a basic wooden hut out in the countryside. They melt the formoplast resin in a bucket over a bonfire and pour it over the two larger skulls, placed in separate bowls.
