The Romanovs absolutely deserved a slow death in a smoky basement, and if Lenin ordered it, that only makes me respect him more.
Maybe their deaths would have been more merciful had they not had actual diamonds sewn into their clothes.

I will only accept a condemnation of the Bolsheviks if it begins with "I know the Czar was worse and all alternatives were worse and the circumstances of that era were a civil war between two world wars while all the remnant empires sabotaged them, but...". I'll only cry for any Romanov if that person begins their spiel by crying for all of the peasant children whose blood bought those Romanov kids their fancy clothes and fancy palace. The disruption of a benign violence is not the creation of new violence or a new injustice, it's the correction of injustice and restoration of peace.
