@gavjnlol3: Contrary to popular belief, the Romanovs were not murdered by the Bolsheviks, however they were by the Social-Revolutionaries who masked themselves as the Bolsheviks. At the time of the ritual murder of the Holy Romanov Family, Yekaterinburg was under the jurisdiction of the Ural Soviet, which was headed by the Left SR. Already 10 days prior to the murder, a uprising took place in Moscow by the Left SR who tried overthrowing the Bolshevik Government. The Social-Revolutionaries killed the Holy Romanov Family out of spite and hate towards everything Holy, including the Bolshevik Government. Lenin never wanted an execution, he valued the family as a piece of Russian history and he could just not let it be erased from this world in such a way. #tsar #russia #bolshevism #orthodoxchurch #orthodoxy
