I can comment on one point here, the gold deposited at Baring's Bank in London. It was not the personal property of the Tsar, but money deposited by the Imperial government. The money was frozen by the British government when the Bolsheviks seized power in Russia, and remained so until the 1980s, when the money and the accrued interest was used to compensate British and Commonwealth citizens for money lost through non-payment of Imperial Bonds and confiscation of personal property in Russia after the revolution. The delay in dealing with the matter had nothing to do with whether or not Nicholas II was deemed to be dead (a bizarre interpretation of British law there), it was determined by considerations of politics and foreign policy.

Все что там в банках лежало потрачено Ксенией и Ольгой.
Издана же их переписка и по этому поводу тоже.
А потом не отец Елизаветы был кузеном Николая II, а дед.
Исследования японцев и немцев интересны безусловно.
