1918 July 17 may be called "the end of the world" for the family of Russian Tsar Nicholas II Romanov. On this day, the Bolshevik army shot and killed all the members of the last czar's family, their physician, chef and two male and female servants. Nearly 90 years later, the descendants of the tsar are still full of "hatred" for this massacre and demand to rehabilitate the royal family. Lenin issued1965438+March 8, 2007 (February 23, Russian calendar), and a democratic revolution broke out in Russia. As a result, Tsar Nicholas II was forced to abdicate and the Russian Empire perished. After Nicholas II abdicated, King George V of England refused to accept his family to take refuge in Britain, so the Tsar family was placed in Tobolsk, Siberia by the provisional government of kerensky. In the same year165438+1October 7th, the October Revolution broke out in Russia. The czar's family includes the Tsar couple and five children. A doctor, a cook, a footman and a maid were imprisoned in Yekaterinburg by the Bolshevik army. After the family portrait of the last czar was transferred to Yekaterinburg, the White Army tried to rescue him. 1965438+At the beginning of July 2008, the White Army gradually surrounded Yekaterinburg, and the situation here became very urgent. The Bolshevik army believed that once Yekaterinburg fell and the Tsar was rescued, the new Bolshevik regime might be doomed. The book Days that Shocked the World describes the situation like this: Bolsheviks wanted to take Nicholas II to Moscow for trial; Now, the forces of Belarus are gradually approaching and surrounding the Ural Mountains. Lenin, the leader of Bolshevik Party, believes that the existence of the Tsar family provides a dangerous appeal for the royalists to launch a civil war. Trotsky, Lenin's good friend and one of the founders of the Red Army, said in his memoirs that the upper class of the Bolsheviks had two opinions on the tsar at that time ... Lenin saw that the existence of the tsar was extremely unfavorable to the new Soviet regime, and only by executing the tsar's family could the old dynasty be completely destroyed. Trotsky said, "Lenin personally ordered the execution of the tsar." The Soviet Production Party later explained that the move was to "prevent the White Army from robbing prisons".
