    Although the massacre of the Romanovs was a moral failing, it does not delegitimize the right for the workers, peasants, and soldiers who suffered under the feudal class dictatorship that saw them as expendable, to rise up for their freedom from such a system and towards their own self-government. Denying this is like condemning the end of slavery in North America because of slave revolts.

      I wouldn’t call it a moral failing of the revolution but an act of necessity to defend themselves from the wolves that would use any one of these children as a symbol of the Russian Empire to revive it with the support of every monarchy in the region. I mean just look at Miami and how bloodthirsty the children of gusanos are for losing their plantations, I can only imagine how bloodthirsty a child denied their right to an empire would be.

        Yup moral failing of their parents to say God says this kid gets to rule you.

        What the revolutionaries did is the only logical conclusion to the system the Romanov set up.

      Those kids had dozens of pounds of precious gems stuffed into their clothes because their parents were so concerned for their well being and weren’t trying to cling to their wealth to their last breath.
