  There are a great many websites about Alexei Romanov, Rasputin, and the Russian royal family, where members and visitors can study these subjects—and debate issues such as whether Alexei or any members of his immediate family could have survived the assassination.

  Some websites of interest include:

  The Alexander Palace Time Machine http://www.alexanderpalace.org/palace/ This beautifully designed Web site also has a discussion forum.

  Alexei’s Hemophilia: The Triangle Affair of Nicholas II, Alexandra, and Rasputin http://it.stlawu.edu/~rkreuzer/pcaron/alexisillness.html

  The First Alexei Nicholaevich Romanov Web Page http://members.aol.com/Dangit0/Alexei/main.htm

  Alexei Romanov Page http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/9463/alexei.html

  ‡ The one exception is Alexei’s fourteenth birthday, which, in my story, the tsarevich believes will take place on July 30,1918, because from his perspective the Julian calendar was never replaced.

  ‡ ‡ and many others, of course, around the globe. About 1 in 5,000 males is born with hemophilia.

  ‡Those with mild cases of the disease might be treated with the synthetic hormone DDAVP, which stimulates the body’s own production of factor VIII.
