And.and the night they were executed I was sent away. What I wish to confess is that I was the kitchen boy in the Ipatiev House where the Tsar and Tsaritsa, Nikolai and Aleksandra, were imprisoned. Please forgive my years of lies, but now I tell you the truth. No, my real name-the one given to me at birth-was Leonid Sednyov, and I was known as Leonka. I was born in Tula province and my name then was not Mikhail or even Misha, as I am known here in America. I was born in Russia before the revolution.
