metadata.value: By the end of March 1917, 20 out of 65 members of the Romanov Imperial House gathered on the
  estates Ai-Todor, Diul’ber, and Chair near Yalta in the Crimea. There were among them: a widow of Alexander III
  Maria Fedorovna; sisters of Nicholas II Xenia and Olga; Grand Dukes Nicholas Nikolaevich, Alexander Mikhailovich,
  Peter Nikolaevich. On April 26, 1917, representatives of the Sevastopol Soviet, with the support of the forces
  of the Black Sea Fleet, conducted massive searches in the places of residence of the relatives of the former
  tsar in order to identify a possible counter-revolutionary conspiracy. On the basis of the published sources, as
  well as previously unused materials from the Russian State Archive of the Navy, including inspection protocols,
  the article reconstructs the circumstances of this only search of the Romanovs in the Crimea. The names of the
  main participants in the events are restored, the key role of Lieutenant Colonel A. I. Verkhovsky is described, who
  at that time was a deputy chairman of the Sevastopol Soviet. A. I. Verkhovsky has been underestimated until now
  as a participant in the revolutionary events in Russia between the February and October revolutions. At the end of
  August 1917, he became the last Minister of War of the Russian Empire in the rank of Major General. The search
  in estates on the southern coast ended with the Sevastopol City Council taking charge of the protection of the
  “Crimean group of the Romanovs”. Afterwards, despite the fact that the Red Terror did not bypass the Crimean
  peninsula, Sevastopol sailors and representatives of local Councils helped save the lives of the relatives of the
  former tsar who ended up in the Crimea. All of them emigrated in 1919.
