the February Revolution of 1917 resulted in abdication of Nicholas II in favor of his brother Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovich. The latter declined to accept the throne, terminating the Romanov dynasty's rule over Russia.
On July 17, 1918, Bolshevik authorities, led by Yakov Yurovsky, shot Nicholas II, his immediate family, and four servant members in the cellar of the Ipatiev House in Ekaterinburg, Russia. The family was told that they would be photographed to prove to the people that they were still alive. The family was arranged appropriately and left alone for several minutes. Soon the very people that were protecting them entered and shot them.

1. It symbolized communist power
2. It guaranteed that the monarchy could never return to power

Actually there are telegrams from Moscow authorizing this. Read any of the accounts of Yurovsky. It is a near fact that his account is true, especially now that the last two bodies (of Alexis and one of his sisters) have been found pretty much where he said they would be. There was no reason to lie as his accounts were give to his superiors.
Most likely this was to simply keep people from rallying behind them. The white army was close to Yekaterinburg and had they found the Tsar and his family there, would have no doubt made them rallying points for the country. This would have increased their numbers as many in Russia probably would have felt bad for defying their Tsar. He was seen as appointed by God. It is sad that the entire family was killed, but any of the children could have been used as a rallying point even if it wasn't Alexis. Any of the girls (though not really allowed to rule) could have been hailed as pretender to the throne. Certainly any son any of them had, even out of the country could be said to be the true ruler of Russia and the Tsarvitch.

They feared that Romanovs might return to power. There was a civil war going on. On one side, you have the Bolsheviks or Red army then you have the government troops or White army. The Bolsheviks had the family killed because "We decided it here. Ilyich [Lenin] believed that we shouldn't leave the Whites a live banner to rally around, especially under the present difficult circumstances."-Yakov Sverdlov
Shifter says
So that there was no question of who was in charge. There could be no contest of power.
