This is not to far fetched, let's say the white army advances earlier than thought and the guards watching the Romanovs got drunk and Romanovs attempted to make it to safety but soviet soldiers else where saw them shot at them killing some, Alexei amd Annastasia play dead while the guards get a wagon and then make a run towards the white army. Assuming that Alexei and Annastasia are able to survive the attempt on their life at the Ipatiev house, how would this play out? Would Annastasia and Alexei go into hiding in Ukraine or would they head to Paris towards their family? Would the Alexei want it known he was alive? Would Alexei and Annastasia be killed by Joseph Stalin like he killed Trotsky? Would they ever be safe? Would they live a quiet life like Vasili Filatov did who was thought to be Alexei? Would Alexei come out with Annastasia to disprove people like Heino Tammet and Anna Anderson?
