TWENTY-SEVEN
LORD SAW TEARS IN VASSILY MAKSâS EYES. HE WONDERED HOW many times the events had played out in the old manâs mind.
âMy father served in Nicholasâ guard. He was assigned to Tsarskoe Selo, the Alexander Palace where the imperial family lived. The children knew his face. Especially Alexie.â
âHow did he come to be in Yekaterinburg?â Akilina asked.
âHe was approached by Felix Yussoupov. Men were needed to infiltrate Yekaterinburg. Palace guards were favored by the Bolsheviks. They were showpieces the propagandists used to legitimatize the revolution â how Nicholasâs most trusted men turned on him. Many did turn, weak souls scared for their hides, but a few were recruited as spies, like my father. He knew many of the revolution leaders, and they were glad to have him as part of the movement. It was simply luck he arrived at Yekaterinburg in time. Even more luck that Yurovsky selected him as part of the execution squad.â
They were sitting at the kitchen table, having finished their lunch.
âYour father sounds like a brave man,â Lord said.
âEnormously so. He took an oath to the tsar and lived that oath until the end.â
Lord wanted to know about Alexie and Anastasia. âDid they survive?â he asked. âWhat happened?â
The old manâs lips curled into a thin smile. âSomething wonderful. But first, something awful.â
