According to the version of the historian Sergei Zhelenkov, there was no execution of the Romanovs. All members of the royal family survived the civil war, and Tsarevich Alexei Romanov grew up and became a prominent statesman Alexei Kosygin, who during his successful career served as chairman of the Council of People's Commissars and Ministers of the USSR.
Miraculously saved
The historian Zhelenkov in his work published in the magazine "President" claims that the Rothschilds, who were leading the Bolsheviks, decided to shoot the Romanovs, but they managed to escape through a secret tunnel in the Ipatiev house. The passage led to the building of the nearest factory, the owner of which dug an underground passage back in 1905.
During the demolition of the Ipatievs' house in 1977, the builders discovered an underground passage not specified in the building plans. The family's escape was organized by a group of officers of the tsarist General Staff. Stalin, whom Zhelenkov made a relative of the Romanovs, also knew about the operation. According to the historian, a special department was organized on the basis of the 2nd Main Directorate of the KGB to supervise the children of the Romanovs.
The Bolsheviks believed that in the future the family could be used for political purposes. A dacha was built near Sukhumi, where Stalin met with his relative Nikolai. The last emperor visited Moscow and died in 1958. Nikolai was buried at the Krasnaya Etna cemetery in Nizhny Novgorod. Tsarina Alexandra died in 1948 and lived in Ukraine. The emperor's daughters also quietly lived in the USSR, and only Alexei made a career.

Tsarevich Kosygin
Left to live in the USSR, the heir to the throne resigned himself to the revolution and decided to serve the Fatherland. Under the cover of the Cheka, he becomes the Red Army soldier Alexei Kosygin, whom, after the end of the war, Stalin begins to promote not along the party line, but on the economic line. In two years, from a foreman at the Oktyabr textile factory, Aleksey Nikolaevich grows up to its director.
Two years later, in 1938, Kosygin was the head of the executive committee of the Leningrad Soviet, and a year later, the people's commissar of the textile industry of the USSR. Zhelenkov explains such a career rise not only by the talents of the surviving Romanov, but also by the personal patronage of Stalin. During the war, Aleksey Nikolayevich organizes the evacuation of industrial enterprises in Leningrad and is engaged in laying the "Road of Life".
According to the recollections of eyewitnesses, Stalin half-jokingly called Kosygin "Tsarevich" in front of everyone. Kosygin did not participate in the party struggle and retained his position under Khrushchev and Brezhnev. He was the only one from the Politburo who did not support the introduction of the Soviet military contingent into Afghanistan, and Kosygin held the post of head of government for 16 years. From 1966 to 1970, Alexei Nikolaevich developed and implemented a number of reforms, this period was called the "golden eighth five-year plan".
Romanov hostages
Historians Tom Mangold and Anthony Summers have published a book on the fate of the Romanovs. According to their conclusions, after the capture of Yekaterinburg by Kolchak in 1918, he begins an investigation into the circumstances of the death of the Romanovs. A few months later, the investigator Captain Nametkin reported that there was no execution, the second investigator Sergeev came to the same conclusion.
In parallel, the commission of Captain Malinovsky worked, which a year later reported to the third investigator Sokolov that the imperial family had survived, and the evidence of the execution had been rigged. Admiral Kolchak, who had proclaimed himself the Supreme Ruler of Russia, did not need the living Romanovs, and he put pressure on the investigation, which, contrary to the facts, recognized the death of the imperial family.
Western writers believe that the German emperor Wilhelm II, agreed with the revolutionaries to export the female part of the Romanov family from Russia. The empress and her daughters could not claim the throne, which means they were not dangerous for Moscow.
Nikolai and Alexei remained with the Bolsheviks as hostages. At the same time, Lenin understood that Nikolai would give access to family and government deposits stored in banks in Europe and the United States, which the young Soviet republic needed.
The study of Mangold and Summers does not exclude the possibility that Alexei Romanov could recognize Soviet power and, under the patronage of Stalin, reach the very state posts under the name of not Romanov, but Kosygin.
