In the upbringing of offspring of the head of the family, always busy in the service of, is not particularly involved, but in which case punished severely. All heirs have received higher education.

Jacob was very fond of daughter-the honors pupil, the black-haired beauty. She gave him a grandchild Anatolia. But, apparently, indeed, the descendants have to pay for the sins of the fathers.

Where he is buried Yakov Yurovsky

In Vain to look for the burial place of the notorious “hero of the revolution" in the popular Metropolitan cemeteries-Vagankovskoye, Novodevichy… for a long time it was not known where the tomb of Yakov Yurovsky. As it turned out, his body was cremated and carefully concealed the ashes from third-party eyes on a special area of the cemetery – spectrumware at the New Donskoy cemetery in Moscow's historical district.

There is evidence that this isolated mausoleum-columbarium organized thanks to the assertiveness of Paul Dauge – a prominent party member and the first maker ORREC. Equipped with seat «VIP-graves” in the former building of the Church. In Stalinist times, dashing here was placed the urn containing the ashes of the honored individuals who managed by some miracle to avoid total repression and died a natural death.grave of Yakov Yurovsky

Many cells are now “nameless” as firmly imbedded in the wall of the glass fogged up from the inside and covered with a murky tinge, which does not allow anything to see.

In the depths of the structure in the alcove stand two urns, draped in red-and-black mourning ribbons so that there are no visible inscriptions. These are the ashes of Yurovsky and his wife. Around the boxes, several of artificial flowers with faded fabric – all visible neglect, it is noticeable that the burial was renovated not long ago.

They Say that fire erases all traces. But for regicide, the remains of which were in spectrumware, this law did not work: his trail disappeared. At the time Yurovsky did everything to hide forever the bodies of the Imperial family, but his own grave in the end, was carefully hidden from the people. Former hero-the Commissioner is now forever turned into a pariah.
