Spicy, but also a very complete understanding of the political purpose behind murdering the old regime in the course of seizing control of a state or monarchy. Surviving members of the monarchy or whatever become rallying points for political opposition, which is to say terrorists and insurgents.

On the other hand, China reforming Puyi is an extremely powerful argument against murdering the old regime, so your certainly have options.

To be fair, China had the luxury of having him safely in hands for years. Romanovs were few days of being freed by whiteguard army. Soviets did not had options.

Agreed. I wouldn't have done it, personally, but I understand why they did and I think it was a reasonable decision given what the guards knew at the time.

I mean they were correct, Yekaterinburg was surrounded and did fell less than week later.

I see a holy war spreading across the planet... a warrior religion that waves the American flag in my father's name... fanatical legions worshiping at the shrine of my father's skull...
