Vladimir Lenin led the communists and made the final decision to murder the entire Romanov family, although he was very careful to keep his name out of official records.
Nicholas Romanov II was Czar before the Russian Revolution.
The Romanov Family
The Russian royal family
Communists (advocates of a classless stateless society) have never murdered anyone.
The execution of the Romanov family was ordered by the leader of the Bolshevik revolution, V.I. Lenin.
Romanov pronounced Ro-marn-ov
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.
She was killed by the Bolshiveks/communists/military to anihilate the Romanov Family who had ruled Russian for hundreds of years. She was married to the ruling Romanov and they did not want her to produce any more Romanov's or take over the throne. The Russians wanted freedom from the Romanov rule.____No.. Anastasia was not married to anyone, let alone the ruling Romanov - who was Nicholas her father.The entire Romanov family was murdered by the local Bolshevik leader. It had nothing to do with not wanting her to produce heirs. The Bolsheviks were afraid the Allied armies and White Russian army were going to liberate the family and use them to mobilise support to over throw the Communist government.FYI Nicholas and Alexandra were married, Anastasia was one of the daughters.

The Romanov family ruled over Russia for nearly 300 years. So it's a good bet that they were Russian. Otherwise they had a lot of explaining to do.
The Bolsheviks had the Romanov family assassinated in 1918 when a civil war broke out between the communists and monarchists. The communists' plan was to put a damper on the Tsarist war efforts by deleting the tsar they were trying to reinstate.
