Synopsis

Vasily Filatov, a village teacher who lived under the harsh control of the Soviet Union, professed to have had knowledge of the private life of Tsar Nicholas II and his family, and of details surrounding their massacre in 1918, following the Russian Revolution. In the 1980s, when Soviet archives were opened to the public during perestroika, they were found to verify stories that Filatov had told his family.
