Best Answer

The last Tsar of Russia, and his entire immediate family, were killed by revolutionaries, and in fact, were murdered. Previous to the First World War, Russia was a Tsarist empire (ruled by a single monarch, the Tsar). However, during the First World War, the Russian Revolution occurred, and Russia's political system was changed to that of a communist country. Since the new government is not ruled by a Tsar, Russia is no longer led by any monarch. There is a current Grand Duchess of Russia, whom I think would be the nearest blood relative from the Romanov line, but all the Tsar's relatives that escaped the revolution have never proclaimed nor have been called upon in that type of capacity, but the blood-lines are proven through previous marriages with other royal families. Notably, there is a Grand Duchess from Russia that is currently in the line of succession to the british throne.
