No accident. Look to Putin to take the holy relics on tour.
Putin is just disappointed that it was not him that had the entire family executed.
Hm, clone the DNA and re-install the Czar, that would torque the bolsheviks huh
Now watch Putin have a DNA test done, and then a wonderful thing will happen! They will find that he (Putin) is related to the Czar’s and declare himself the rightful heir to the Czars throne and then claim it for himself Czarist russia will be back!!!! I oughta write a book
I need memory help here, so please jump in.
Was the Czar’s wife Queen Victoria’s daughter or was it a granddaughter?
Does the ex czar have direct descendants today?
If not, then nutty Charles is the direct descendant to the Russian throne. If so, put a bow on him and gift him to the Russians.

All this hand wringing over the execution of the Czar and his immediate family is an exercise in fascist nostalgia. From what I’ve read of history, the Nicholas II was as much an airhead as Obama. He was murdered why? because his subjects were happy, contented workers living fulfilling lives under a benevolent monarch?! As a Republican, I find monarchy a hideous concept that needs to be wiped off the face of the Earth. I have no sympathy for monarchs, oligarchs, royalty, aristocracy, plutocracy or kleptocracy. European history is one long tale of discontent, rebellion and hatred for the tyrannical excesses of the nobility. Frankly, the Czar got what he deserved. Had his assassins been religious mystics, lone nuts or midget circus clowns, I’d raise my flagon to them with a “well doneâ€.
