Commandant Yurovsky personally invites us all to go downstairs. I believe they realized Ipatiev House is no longer safe to keep high-ranking prisoners in here. Car with working engine in the yard must be waiting for us

I’ve written a goodbye letter to my brother, just in case. I feel uneasy & believe I’m dead to my children, friends and job. Dead, yet not buried - or buried alive. The outcome to be practically the same. I cherish no illusion and look the reality in the eyes
