Because the British Royal family rescinded plans to evacuate the Romanovs by warship. They, the British, felt that having two families of royal blood in England would not be good PR for them. So the cousins were abandoned. Sic transit gloria!

The Bolshevik party wanted to snuff out the "royal" line. There was still enough support for the Romanovs that even with the abdication, there was a chance they could have been reseated (Nicholas, a married daughter -maybe- or another relative). The fact that the whole family was canonized as martyrs shortly after their deaths speaks volumes.
Nicholas II was not liked (he was considered a rather weak leader, and his decisions were disasterous to Russia in World War I). But his wife Alexandra was despised. She, according to most of what I've read, was very haughty and unsympatetic to the commoners. Many were also suspicious of her relationship with mystic Rasputin, who was called on to treat her youngest and heir, Alexei. Alexei had hemophelia was was often very ill. While the boy's condition was officially a secret, I personally suspect Alexei's health was a matter of concern and more widely known then his parents would have liked to have believed. Alexandra's increasing reliance on Rasputin is believed by many to be a major factor in the Romanov's downfall (see source list)
The commoners lost faith in the Romanov dynasty, so the revolutions swept the country.

Simple war, they didn't want any heirs in straight line of the throne to rule, people had hunger.
I wonder if it's any better now? Communism is also gone but people have still hunger over there.
