execution because it was during wartime and happened for political reasons. During war there doesn't have to be a trial. It still sucks though because they were children and it wasnt their fault that their parents were despots.

Any execution without a fair trial for the accused is murder.

After the Tsar abdicated the thrown he and his family were kept at Tobolsk. They were later moved to Yekaterinburg were they remained until their execution. They were executed at 2:33 am on the morning of July 17, 1918. Tsar Nicholas was the first one to die with multiple bullets to the head and chest. The whole families bodies were soaked in acid and burnt and later people believed that their bodies were disposed down a mineshaft site called four brothers. This in reality was true that's why Yurovsky a watchmaker from Perm who led in the execution removed the bodies and was going to dispose them at a secret site. But the vehicle carrying the bodies broke down on the way and so the bodies were disposed in a concealed pit on Koptyaki Road which is now abandoned. Their bodies were found in 1991 and were reburied by the Russian government in 1998. For the bodies to be identified they were taken to England and the USA for proper identification, at the end of the DNA test it was concluded that the bodies were really those of the tsar and his family.
