14. The commissars of the Ural Regional Soviet. From left: Alexander Beloborodov, Georgy Safarov, Philip Goloshchokin. The preponderance of evidence, indicates at least to me, that they acted alone in giving the order to proceed with the regicide to Yurovsky and did so without the formal approval of Moscow. They did so while staying in Room 3 at the Hotel Amerika in Ekaterinburg, which was only a short distance from the Ipatiev house.
