Or if you're interested in the people themselves, Helen Azar has published several translations of most of the daughter's diaries, or rather the volumes that they didn't burn. Helen Rappaport has a new book called The Romanov Sisters but I'm not wild about some of her interpretations.

Should happen to his cousins in the UK and to all royal families in the world as well.

Interestingly they used Prince Philip's DNA to check if some Romanov pretenders were legit.

Nicky kind of deserved to be dethroned but killing was totally a dick move from commies.

>The two families are related? That's interesting.

Every European royal family is the same family since they've married mostly each other for centuries. They are as inbred as an uncontacted tribe and have no particular genetic connection with the countries they variously rule over.

Hell, their descendants would be bitching about losing their place to this very day.

Other members of the Romanov family survived. They weren't used as figureheads for any opposing movement.

The daughters and Alexandra had no claim to the Russian throne, and would have to jump through a lot of hoops in order to be considered heirs themselves or even for their children to be considered heirs. No opposing movement would have used them as a figurehead without one of them being a secure claim to the Russian throne, due to the necessity of having the support of local populations in any sort of movement to retake Russia under a monarchy. Think about the crowning Jane Grey, named in Edward's succession--yeah she was technically given the right by the current king, but the people didn't care that she was suddenly named heir, they cared that Henry VIII's daughter(s) were the first heirs, according to law.

Why wouldn't the royal family have right to the throne?

After Catherine the Great, the Russian secession laws were changed. The new laws made it very difficult for women to be considered a contender to the throne in their own right. For example, in order for Nicholas' oldest daughter to be considered an heir, all the legitimate male members of the family would have to be dead (so in this case, not just Nicholas and Alexei but uncles, cousins, nephews, etc, a good chunk of whom escaped Russia).

Male children of women could be considered heirs, but there was criteria for that as well. In order for any male children of the daughters to be considered heirs, they would have to marry a royal of an equivalent rank. So let's say they married a count, which is socially below a grand duchess, and had a son--that son would not be considered eligible for the Russian throne due to the unequal rank. Also the emperor's consort could not inherit the throne even if the criteria of all the male members being dead was met, so Alexandra would not be eligible.
