Celine J Thats not how the leader of the Bolsheviks, Vladimir Lenin, saw it. He thought that as long as some member of the Romanov family were alive, there would be a risk of opposition to re-establish the autocracy, which would in turn hinder the Communist revolution he so much strived for.

[@nhuquynhnguyenbui5531]

Yes they're innocent and may seemed to have nothing to do to the war, but you have to understand that the Communist has no choice,with only one rightful heir to the throne can be enough to start a rebel. I'm truly sad for them but I also understand the choice

[@ronnkenan1088]

[@mime514]

Well , the bolsheviks new that the regalist would use any chance to regain the lost power, and if one of the romanovs survived , they will try to use that person against them . The people still respected the royal family , and so they would depart themselves from the bolsheviks ideology at any given oportunity . It is , nonetheless , hearthbreaking ...

[@JMWxx]

Depressed Gamer I agree with you. But sadly those that killed them had to kill them, as with monarchy if they just killed the Tsar then his son would take over. If they killed the son, then the eldest sister etc. It’s a shame. It’s the Tsar’s wife’s fault, because when her husband was away fighting she basically let Rasputin rule. Which was unpopular.

I have just finished reading a book called the Romanov Conspiracies by Michael Occleshaw and am now convinced that at least one, if not two, of the daughters were got out of there. The Russians would like us to believe that it is all done and laid to rest, but after reading this book I doubt it.

[@syedzainulabidin6935]

I️ am 99% sure Anna Anderson was Anastasia and the government of Russia just pretended that her dna did not match with the remains of the royal family.

[@AnimeEpisodesDutch]

Angie Aligo I saw a documentary about the English royal family and George V was adviced by even outsiders not to help his cousin, even though he wanted to. He chose his own family over his cousin’s in the end, due to rising unrest about Germans in his own country. (If I remember well)

[@Edmonton-of2ec]

You’re all wrong. George V was well aware that Nicholas was very unpopular in England, but it wasn’t because of his German blood, it was because the British public saw him as a tyrant. And sheltering a tyrant threatened the stability of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (it wouldn’t become the House of Windsor for another 4 months by the time of Nicholas’ death) and George but the survival of his dynasty over the survival of his cousin, cousin in law, and his 4 nieces and 1 nephew....

[@iasnaia-poliana]

It's a very challenging point of view to keep in mind that the two kings that have been killed by the so called "defenders of freedom" were, on each side of the continent, those who swore to protect the church (the Roman Catholic church for the king of France, the Orthodox church for the Tsar of Russia). What a "strange" coincidence... one might say!

[@exoticlonghair]

aqui no hay "coincidencias", los defensores de la libertad(?) sabian muy bien lo que hacian y porque lo hacian.

[@theodoreclark6285]

Very strange indeed. Also, in the case of both, the defenders of freedom eventually became the ones who took it all away. France was Napoleon who was a dictator in disguise. For Russia, it was the Communists led by Joseph Lenin; the most brutal people to ever exist. In both cases, people died discovering the truth

Two bodies were missing and remeber the girls were wearing 2pounds of diamonds in their clothes which could easily protect her from the bullet and might just knock the person out for a while.

You can see the point that the regular folk didn't even have anything to eat while royalty had everything but could something not have been done to make it better and fairer for everyone without murder for food? The Tsar had all the power and change was needed possibly to a similar system that we have (UK) to make things better. He didn't want to change things like that and stay in full power but didn't want to use it to help. The didn't have to be so cruel

My mum I call her Russia she knows!

[@EvanescenceOverload]

The whole family did die. Two of the 11 bodies were buried a few hundred yards away from the rest because they were the two that were burnt. The morning started rising whilst the two bodies were still burning so the remaining 9 bodies were buried further away from them. That is why people had assumed Maria/Anastasia and Alexei had escaped. The two bodies that were found were Alexei and Maria/Anastasia. (The bodies of Maria and Anastasia were too close to tell which of them were one of the two)

[@BolshevikCarpetbagger1917]

It all started with rumors that then became theories which then some said were fact. Franziska Schanzkowska (Anna Anderson) was one of some 10 women claiming to be Anastasia. The only mystery is why Anastasia was chosen out of her sisters.

George the 5th had enough time. Before Nicholas and his family were moved to Jekateringburg. Kerenski wanted to protect them. The king of the GB had time about six months before Lenin took the power.

There was a number of reasons (based on my longtime interest and research) but its said that Lenin directly ordered the exaction, as the family being alive was a threat per say if the White Army wear victorious. Nicholas II strongly desired to seek refuge with his family in England, but George V denied him it based on being advised it could cause a uprising in England for harboring the former Tsar of Russia. With the family out of the way completely, there would be possibility of them returning.

Although I fail to see why we're talking about Hitler here, he himself was not elected. He lost the 1932 presidential election to Hindenburg. However, in the July 31, 1932, election Hitlers National Socialist Party (aka the nazis) won 230 seats in the Reichstag, making it the largest German political party. He then put pressure on Hindenburg to make him chancellor and proceeded from there. Basically the nazis as a party were elected to power.
