I just noticed this thread.
History and political science are my major interests. This means I
agree with you, but the entire country suffered from World War 1, too.
That wasn't all the Tsar's fault, but most of the surviving poor didn't
care about the details, and who would blame them?
After a successful totalitarian revolution, political necessity
(survival) would require the elimination of any possible direct royal
descendent, to prevent the survivor being used as a nucleus of a
royalist counterrevolution. We don't like that, but reality doesn't
care how we feel. There was so much animosity against the royal family
that their murder probably served to help heal the county after the
war, and prevent another war inside the country. Then Stalin became
worse, but that's another story.
I just wrote a Stevie story which is coincidently about some of the
other issues in this thread which I will post after the two stories
that come before it. The theme happened accidentally and took on a life
of it's own. I have seen authors say that before and thought it was
crazy. Now I have to believe it really does happen. LOL
There is another story I plan to write, about bullying by an adult.
While Stevie isn't real, but is a combination of many people and my
imagination, I want his stories to mean something to us more than just
fun. I hope you will agree and like my contribution to the fort. I
can't stop writing them anyway. LOL
Whoever you are (LOL), I have to say to you I think your English
writing is better than mine in some ways. This motivates me to do
better, just as much as learning how to write better for the stories is
doing. Thank you.
ps to Doc
There is going to be a VERY nice nurse in one of the stories!
