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.

It of course didn't. Where do you all get this thought that monarchies relied on one particular family to work? There were shit ton of aristocrats everywhere. Just pick one to be your new king? Royal families died off all of the time in European history. If Swedes can pick Marshal Bernadotte to be their king, then sky is the limit on who can become one.
