summary
Many of the citizens of Russia were quite unhappy with the Tsar Nichols Romanov. None of them had money to buy food because it was all used towards the war and weaponry. The Romanov's were forced to flee the winter palace during the Russian revolution, They were captured by the Bolsheviks and all of the family was taken far away from St. Perstersburg to a desolated cabin where they were kept for days. They were woken late and made to line up in front of the fireplace where they were all shot down and taken away to be buried in a forest north of Yekaterinburg. The Provisional government took over after the Tsar was out of the picture.
