I don't know about the "Restoration of the Monarchy" part....

If you know your Russian history, the Tzar's where almost as bad (and maybe worse in some respects) that the Communists. Up until the late 1880's Russians couldn't even own land and were essentially the property of the various Nobles, who they had to ask for permission to do even engage in day to day activities like travel, get married, or engage in commerce.

The Soviets pretty much murdered the Tsar’s bloodline to avoid any chance of the return of the Monarchy.

That was only certain Russians, called "serfs," not all Russians. Up until the mid 1860's, there was an entire class of similar people in the USA, you'll recall.

It was a Czar who ended serfdom. He was rewarded for that act by being blown up with a bomb.
