The execution of the Romanov family was a pivotal event during the Russian Revolution, reflecting the tumult of the era.

Following his abdication in 1917 amidst WWI failures, Bolshevik revolutionaries seized power and ordered the family's execution to prevent them from becoming rallying points for royalist sympathizers. On July 17, 1918, the royal family was murdered, marking the brutal end of imperial rule in Russia, with their remains later confirmed through DNA testing.
