Did Moscow Order the Death of the Romanovs or the local Soviet? (hexbear.net)

I got to the part of the Revolutions podcast where the royal family died. He said the consensus is that Moscow ordered the death of the whole family. Is that pretty much agreed on by serious historians nowadays or is that Cold War historiagraphy?

It seemed kind of split when I looked in some Ask Historians thread on Reddit from years ago, but I also might just be seeing what I want to see. What do historians think? What do you think? If Lenin and company in Moscow ordered it, why?

Still blows my mind that they made a le wholesome children's cartoon about Princess Anastasia. Like damn, imagine if they made a Disney movie about Hitler's daughter escaping from the mean old allies.

Hands off the lathe, there's already a critically acclaimed alt fiction they could adapt

Anna finishes her story with Heidi [Hitler's daughter] escaping from the ruins of Berlin and emigrating to Australia, where she grows old and eventually reveals the truth to her granddaughter.

What's funny is that the creator of Anastasia also made another movie in which the inciting incident is the pogroms and cossack raids.
