"Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts"

This Website says Stalin lost his faith after reading  "The Origin of Species" like a lot of eugenicistshttp://www.darwinistdictators.com/articles/stalin.html

But Anastasia's faith says she didn't scream in vain

"They reported that Anastasia and her family, contrary to custom, fell on their knees during the prayer for the dead, and that the girls had become despondent, hopeless, and no longer sang the replies in his service. Noticing this dramatic change in their demeanor since his last visit, one priest told the other, "Something has happened to them in there.'" ^[46] 

"Ermakov then struggled with Anastasia, failed to stab her, and said he killed her, too, with a shot to the head. Maria's skull shows no trace of bullet wounds and it is unclear how she died. Ermakov was quite drunk during the murders and possibly his shot only creased Maria's scalp, knocking her unconscious and producing considerable blood flow, but not killing her. Then, as the bodies were taken out of the cellar room, two of the grand duchesses showed signs of life. One sat up and screamed, throwing her arm over her head, while the other, bleeding from the mouth, moaned and moved slightly.

Looks like Stalin lost his faith after reading "The Origins of Species" like a lot of the era's 'men of steel' eugenicists

And according to wiki, Anastasia didn't
