I have read that the Tsar and his family were a very close, loving family.

They were, and also very devout. They bore their cross with heroic fortitude up to very end.

Tsar Nicholas II was not a very competent ruler. But neither he nor his family deserved their fate. And it’s just another sad example of how willing Communists are to kill anyone who stands in their way, including children.

They entered into the joy of our Lord, the royal martyrs of Russia.

Lenin’s fate is far darker. The dying Stalin saw the gates of Hell opening before him.
