While it is awful what the Communists did to these people and millions like them, it is important to remember that the Romanov Dynasty was a dictatorship vested with absolute power just like the Bolsheviks. The Revolution of 1917 simply replaced one regime with another.

Nicolas was a weak an inept leader with a fool for a wife. But what the communists did to the czars family was a precursor to what they did to Russia. A very sad story about the end of the Romanovs.

That is exactly the story that the Bolshi’s gave about how they tried to “dissolve” the bodies.

I’m glad they have finally been found if true.

It’s not that the Russians want the Empire back. What they are getting back is their history, which Communism took away from them.
