I got to the part of the Revolutions podcast where the royal family died. He said the consensus is that Moscow ordered the death of the whole family. Is that pretty much agreed on by serious historians nowadays or is that Cold War historiagraphy?

It seemed kind of split when I looked in some Ask Historians thread on Reddit from years ago, but I also might just be seeing what I want to see. What do historians think? What do you think? If Lenin and company in Moscow ordered it, why?

Who cares? The Romanovs were monsters that lived in opulence off the backs of their people who they forced to live in poverty and ignorance.

Monarchies are a crime against humanity.

I mean the best situation is if you can do a Puyi like the Chinese, if only so fuckers aren't complaining a century later.

Still blows my mind that they made a le wholesome children's cartoon about Princess Anastasia. Like damn, imagine if they made a Disney movie about Hitler's daughter escaping from the mean old allies.

Hands off the lathe, there's already a critically acclaimed alt fiction they could adapt

Is that supposed to be fucking 1990s Anne Frank on the right?

Anna finishes her story with Heidi [Hitler's daughter] escaping from the ruins of Berlin and emigrating to Australia, where she grows old and eventually reveals the truth to her granddaughter.

Damn it, Australia.

What's funny is that the creator of Anastasia also made another movie in which the inciting incident is the pogroms and cossack raids.
