Best Answer

Many people hated and blamed the Tsar for the war. A group of men, the Bolsheviks, decided to make a move. Around 1917 the Tsar abdicated and he and his family was soon captured. They were held captive for one year. Then, on a dark night of July 16, 1918, their captors led them down to the basement, and they started to shoot. There are two different sides as to whether one of the grand duchesses escaped along with her brother or not. In 2007, people claimed to have found two bodies belonging to the missing royal children.
