Russia belives (I think, I may be wrong ) that the missing body of the last Tsar's children is Maria, while the US believes its anastasia. What do you think it is..?

I kinda think its Anastasia, but I'll never know for sure I guess. xD

I think it was Maria, but I also think it was Anastasia. It's 50-50 to me. *shrug*

Ah yeah, weren't they pretty close in height?

Yeah, but Maria was taller than Anastasia. But the female body found in 2007 was short (I think) so it must be Anastasia but I'm not sure.

Ah I see. Then I don't know why Russia thinks its Maria then. But oh well xD

It could have been possible that over time the body began to decay and shorten a bit in height and such, which is a good point for an arguement. Personally, if I had to choose, I'd still pick Anastasia. I'm sure it'll forever be an unsolved mystery though.

All members of the Romanov Family have been accounted for. Anastasia and Maria are both buried with their parents
