Dear Grant,
I would note that the Bolsheviks under Lenin did not directly inherit
power once the Tsar was overthrown, but rather the Mencheviks, who
attempted to establish a socialist-democratic regime. They, in turn,
were overthrown by the Communists, to a great part due to the
government's failure to pull Russia out of the War. Also, there was a
counter revolution underway almost immediately after the fact, as well
as foreign intervention against the new regime. I think the book and
film Dr. Zhivago said it all best in reference to the criminal
execution of the royal family ... it meant there was no going back.
Still, I feel political necessity can never justify cold blooded
murder.
V
God Save the Queen.
God Bless the Prince of Wales.
God Preserve the Windsors.
Rule Britannia!
