The Tsar was awful and deserved his brutal death and "proper" burial (for him). Sad about the children though.Awful as it may sound, Lenin had no other choice. Civil War would continue to rage as long as Monarchist dead-enders thought there was any chance of installing a rightful Romanov heir back to the Throne even if it were one of the children. Part of governing is making tough decisions that ordinary people don't have to make. One of those decisions may involve the death of innocents in order to end a terrible war that is costing an even greater loss of innocent life. But it was the FEBRUARY revolution that overthrew the Tsar. The October Revolution was unnecessary for getting rid of him. True but that shows that inaction = suicide. If the Provisional Govt was so detached to not realize that a revolution was brewing right in front of their eyes, they would have been too incompetent to govern a nation as complex as Russia anyway. With a crew like that, revolution was inevitable. At least the Commies can claim credit for changing that backwards nation to the Gregorian Calendar. |
