When archivists in Yekaterinburg uncovered a forgotten leather-bound diary, they had no idea it once belonged to Yakov Yurovsky—the man who led the execution of Tsar Nicholas II and his family. Hidden between the brittle pages was a coded telegram, its message cold and simple: “The heirs must not awaken.” What followed was a discovery that blurred the line between confession and conspiracy. The diary reveals a man torn between duty and guilt—a witness to history who couldn’t silence his ghosts. This is the story of a revolution’s darkest secret, a code that outlived an empire and the man who realized too late that obedience can be the most dangerous sin of all.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
