On 17 July 1998, eighty years to the day after their murder, the remains of Emperor Nicholas II, his wife, three of his children, and the four faithful retainers were finally laid to rest in St Petersburg´s Saint Peter and Paul Cathedral. The remains were interred in the crypt of the cathedral's St Catherine Chapel, the resting place of Russian emperors since the reign of Peter the Great. Over fifty members of the Romanov Family and their close relatives traveled to Russia from all corners of the world, from Australia, North and South America, and Europe. President Yeltsin announced his presence at the ceremonies as well as many ambassadors, politicians, and prominent personalities. From Britain, Prince Michael of Kent and from Germany members of the Oldenburg dynasty, both closely related to the Romanovs.

Addressing the funeral ceremony, President Boris Yeltsin described the murder of the Russian royal family as one of the most shameful pages in Russian history, and urged Russians to close a "bloody century" with repentance.
