I don't know why it's so satisfying to watch Romanovs, powerless, begging Bolsheviks not to shoot them. I was like ''nice move Yurovsky'' (lemmygrad.ml)

I feel like this is giving them a bit too much credit, it's pretending like they had the dignity to be indignant in the first place. In reality Nicholas had no idea what was going on, his last moments weren't begging in powerless rage. His last words were literally "what?... What?".

I feel like most people like to portray the romanovs like they were from game of thrones, when in reality it was a lot more like if Buster or Gob from arrested development ran a totalitarian empire.

Nicky had a lot of "kill them all, bring me their heads" moments.

I think that's par for the course for most fail sons in situations where they are in it over their heads.
