World’s History

The brutal murder of the entire #Romanov family was the culmination of deep discontent across the #Russian #Empire with the persistently autocratic rule of Tsar Nicholas II (reign 1894-1917). Following the disaster of the First World #War (1914-18) and the tsar's abdication in 1917, Bolshevik revolutionaries took power. The new Soviet Russia was immediately split by a raging civil war, and as royalist sympathisers neared Ekaterinaburg (Yekaterinburg), where the Tsar, his wife, and their five children were being held, the Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin (1870-1924) ordered their execution. On 17 July 1918, all seven royals were shot and their bodies were then secretly buried. DNA testing has confirmed the remains of all seven members of the Imperial family.
