Definitely not the last photo.

Someone doesn’t know history.

One day you’re a czar sitting on a sunny veranda. Next you and your family…well you know what happened. 😬

The last photo you want to see of him.

I’m convinced he and King George were the same person. /s

Too bad he didn’t save his cousin!

George V. George VI looked very different.

buzz....wrong. There are photos from March 1918 at least.

Ehhhh.

Take's one to know one.

Death to all tyrants

The Tsarist system was undeniably flawed and oppressive, but Nicholas and his family did not deserve to be gunned down in the middle of the night. His son was just 13 and several of his daughters were children as well. If you think they deserved that fate then you need to reevaluate your values.

He sent millions to their deaths, and would have continued to do so. He absolutely deserved it.

As opposed to the 3.7 million Lenin killed?

Don’t get me wrong - personally I’m no fan of them, particularly Alexandra, who was even further right than her autocratic husband and really got what she had coming. But to say Russia was better off is like saying France was better off under the reign of terror.

OK, Lenin deserved it too. Not sure why you would consider that mutually exclusive. I didn't say it was better, that guy was shit and visited much worse on many more. His family didn't

Life to all tyrants? Fucktards

Has it ever occurred to you that maybe they disagree with your classification of him as a tyrant?

I'm going to side with the Soviet historians that considered him a tyrant.

You don’t see the irony in that?
