Czarist , later Soviet Russia. there is some evidence ex-Bank Robber Joe Stalin was intimately involved in the execution of the St.petersburg Massacre-but he was not on the immediate scene. NKVD Lieutenant Jacob Yurovsky commanded the infamous (Death Squad) by one account the lieutenant himself started the shooting with a slick black .45 Automatic- made in USA and (Lend-Leased) to then Czarist Russia for military and Police usage- but not in that matter! accounts differ but between 43,000 and 48,000 M-l9ll Colt .45ACP automatic pistols were delivered to Czarist Russia before the revolution and these were intended, as is mentioned above for military and police usage and such things as tank troopers, armored car drivers, and others who needed a compact, hard-hitting weapon. sadly at least one .45ACp was used ont he fateful night. Years ago Gun Digest magazine did an article about Colts made for issue to foreign allies- including Great Britain (manyh marked to the RAF for airman usage) and also Russia. British .5"s were a slightly different caliber- .455 with wide rims, would not interchange with US .45 shells.

Anastasia Romanov was killed purely because she was a Romanov. When the Bolsheviks eventually came to power after Tsar Nicholas abdicated, Lenin ordered that Nick and his family were to be killed to end the Romanov dynasty and family line.
I think Lenin was succeeded by Stalin.
It was a revolution; Lenin wanted to overthrow the Romanov dynasty, and establish a Worker's Paradise. He was an insane megalomaniac, of course, but he did manage to overthrow the monarchy, and execute the entire Romanov family, and plunge the world into nearly a century of chaos, violence, and bloodshed.
There was no-one there to rule so Stalin thought it would be an "Amazing" chance to rule.
Tsar Nicholas II Romanov was executed by Lenin's forces in 1918. The Tsar was not executed during the Russian Revolution in 1917.
Karensky - Lenin - Stalin The three leaders were Prince Georgy Lvov, then Alexander Kerensky (as the first two ministers of the Provisional Government) then Vladimir Lenin.

Lenin's SuccessorJoseph Stalin succeeded Lenin. However, immediately after Lenin died, a troika of Stalin, Grigori Zinoviev and Lev Kamenev succeeded him until Stalin took over complete control in 1929. Stalin was also very mean and killed a lot of people the people who disagreed with him.
Lenin was leader of Bolsheviks and Trotsky was second in command until Lenin died in 1924. Lenin had appointed Trotsky People's Commissar for External Affairs after the October Revolution. Then, when the Russian Civil War broke out, Lenin appointed him Commissar of War. Lenin had picked Trotsky over Stalin to succed him but Trotsky lost out to Stalin and others for the right to succeed Lenin. Stalin managed to expel Trotsky from the Communist Party and then from the country. In 1940, Stalin had a Russian agent murder Trotsky.
Vladimir Lenin, then Joseph Stalin
Stalin was Lenin's successor, even though Lenin didn't actually like Stalin much. Before that, Stalin had been in charge of the Communist Party's administration.
