This was a kind of genocide. they wanted to eradicate the whole family to prevent any chance of a Romanov regaining the throne of Russia.

The Tsar was a figure of authority. Anyone opposed to the Bolsheviks would automatically recognise the Tsar as a leader- maybe absolute, or maybe as a constitutional ruler- but he would be on the top
What the communists did was to murder the natural leader and all his family, then propose alliances to various "white" leaders- only to make them quarrel between themselves. In the end they murdered each of them, one by one.
That is real life politics- because if you aim to steal a whole country then a few murders can be justified… also treason (Bolshevik co-operation with the Germans) may be presented as avirtue…

I believe that the people thought that Tsar Nicholas II was unfit to be leader (His families extravagant lifestyle while many of the people were in extreme poverty, rumors that his wife, the empress, and Rasputin were lovers, and the fact that he didn't know very much about the war he was all but leading,) So they decided to kill the whole family, eliminating the possibility that a Romanov could become a Tsar. It was a revolution…………….
All of this i'm recovering from memory, from a book I read a while back……..
