As long as a Romanov lived, there was an heir to the "throne" that had been vacated by revolution. I'm a pretty big fan of revolts, especially when it comes to monarchy. However, I agree that the extermination of the Romanov family was brutal and unnecessary. They were already in a sort of guarded exile, which would have sufficed. Moreover, Nicholas II wasn't exactly a charismatic leader who could've easily undone the revolution. From what I've read about him, he was sort of ineffective. Everything with his child and that horrible fraud his wife let into the family is just sad. The execution just cemented their place as the saddest royal family in Russian history.
