Czar Nicholas II Abdictates
This marks the end of a thousand years of Romanov ruling. Nicholas was a very conservative ruler and ruled the same ways as his ancestors while times were changing and becoming more modern. His ancestors ideas weren't working for Russia at that time anymore. He was too weak and abdictated in favour of his brother, Grand Duke Michael, except that didn't work out in the end either. -

Royal Family Murdered
After Tsar Nicholas II abdictated, they were kept prisinors near St. Petersburg and then transported into the town of Ekaterinburg in the Spring of 1918. They were kept in the house of a successful local merchant. By mid-July, gunfire of the White Army could be heard from the house they were staying in, which sealed their fate so their potential miberators couldn't free them. During the morning of July 27, 1918, the royal family was herded into the celler of their prison house and were killed.
