Romanov All Russian Tsars after Michael I claimed the name Romanov, and it was politically acknowledged. However, according to the technical laws of descent, the right to the name Romanov was lost after the reign of Catherine the Great due to marriages by Empresses. The legitimate name of the family was Holstein-Gottorp, sometimes called Holstein-Gottorp-Romanov.

The Romanov Family
It is pretty much universally accepted now that Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov died together with the rest of her family on July 17, 1918 when they were executed by the Bolsheviks. Numerous pretenders to the Romanov fortune came forward, but all have been shown to be fakes (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anastasia_Romanov#False_reports_of_survival_and_identification_of_Romanov_remains) and DNA evidence has now confirmed that Anastasia died and was buried with her family.
The execution of the Romanov family was ordered by the leader of the Bolshevik revolution, V.I. Lenin.
Anastasia Romanov was killed purely because she was a Romanov. When the Bolsheviks eventually came to power after Tsar Nicholas abdicated, Lenin ordered that Nick and his family were to be killed to end the Romanov dynasty and family line.
