Bayonetted and shot by drunken assassins, the slaughter of the Russian royal family shook the world. Now a new book reveals in compelling detail the horrifying final days of the Romanovs.
As the light faded, a train halted in the siding near the remote railway station of Lyubinskaya on the Trans-Siberian railway line.

Same here, I read everything about the Romanov’s as a teen. I always felt Rasputin had way too much influence on the Czarina and ultimately the family.
My heart broke at the brutality of their treatment and their deaths....I do not think I can read this new book....
Yes, if whoever becomes POTUS promotes amnesty and perks for illegal aliens, it will be horrible for this country.
My College History professor blamed her for the fall of the Romanovs.
“communists are liberals who mean it...”
and nasty scu&bags, one and all.
IMHO
If you are stupid enough to believe that John McCain would be a worse choice for POTUS than nObama, then enjoy watching this nation surrender to terror. Hold your hand up high when the dead and dying from the radioactive ruins of NYC and DC ask who let this happen?
Pudknockers like you are totally without any honor or common sense. And, Dante3, you certainly live up to your namesake in you believe it is better to rule in hell, than it is to serve in heaven.
Have at it, old sport! You earned it.
Same as it ever was..... same as it ever was....
Really? It'll go like this:
Man-made global warming melted the Russian permafrost and caused the people to starve and riot and the tsar to abdicate.
I refuse to watch National Gore-ographic, that bunch of jerk posers.
“liberals are communists without total power.
Communists are liberals who mean it.”
During the 30s there was an actual saying that went: “Communists are Liberals who are in a hurry”. Oddly enough the Liberals, who spent the 30s, 40s, and part of the 50s doing everything they could to justify and cover up for Stalin, no longer use that phrase. I have no idea why.
Perhaps if he’d accepted the Duma, Nicholas II could have carried on as a constitutional monarch. But his grandfather Alexander II, freed the serfs, and for his trouble got his leg blown off by an assassin’s bomb in St. Petersburg.
R.I.P. Romanov family. You lost an empire, but gained the Kingdom of Heaven.
May the deeds of the foul worm, V.I. Lenin, tool of the Devil, mass murderer of innocent millions, be remembered until the end of the world.
I came to that same conclusion years ago.
It’s happening incrementally via the tyranny of the Supreme Court.
How many of the rights in the Bill of Rights still exist? Kelo killed the 5th Amendment. Do the American people know how to recognize a Communist? Millions are going to vote for one — B.H.O.
“liberals are communists without total power.”
Be careful what you say.
They may soon have it...

Unlike you, I do NOT want to see our leaders lose to Communists. Why don't you go to one of the Bolshevik websites, like the Obama campaign or DU?
Yet FReepers have recently been calling for weakening of the Constitution...one of the very protections against the takeover by any one faction. (In one stunning example, it's often those who are afraid of a Islamist takeover that call for such a counterproductive move.)
Of course, they had a great internal split when Stalin’s atrocities could no longer be denied...many turned strongly away from Communism, while others covered.
Well, she was a focal point, but you could also fault Nick II for standing by his woman.
