Was Anastasia's death ever avenged?
Two wrongs never make a right, only in Algebra ( a concept I never could rationalize where say -20 X- 20 equals positive 400) There is no bonafide proof Anastasia was killed in the Ekaterinberg ( sometimes improperly styled Saint Petersburg massacre) but none of the the NKVD men in the murder squad were ever charged with war crimes which is what they did. Imagine American Secret Service men- at the height of Watergate, confining the whole Nixon family to the basement of the White Hiouse then letting fly with automatic weapons! Thankfully it never happened here- but in Russia,well. Nobody was ever brought up on charges of history's most shocking, indeed Family-Plan assasination! It is no laughing matter after al these decades. personally, I believe Anastasia survived.
Tsarevich Nicholas sought the hand of the beautiful German princess Alix of Hesse, who was the favorite grand daughter of Queen Victoria of England. Now, the Queen wanted Alix to one day take the British throne, but she fell in love with the handsome and charming Tsarevich of Russia. Nicholas' father, Tsar Alexander was not overly excited by Nicholas' choice in a bride, but with his health failing, he agreed to their union. Shortly after the Tsar passed away, the two were married, and crowned Tsar and Tsarina of all Imperial Russia. Moving from Britain to Russia also meant that the young princess had to convert from Lutheranism to Russian Orthodoxy. She took the new name Alexandra Feodorovna, as was customary, and thus began the rule of Tsar Nicholas and Tsarina Alexandra. However, Alexandra was a shy and introverted woman who was uncomfortable and awkward in public. She rarely made public appearances, and failed to win over her new people, and she quickly became the victim of rumor and gossip. It did not help that she was married so soon after a funeral, and the people of Russia saw her and Nicholas' union as an ominous premonition for the future of Russia.

What are the side effects of Anastasia?
I am not quite sure what you mean, Comrade. the cartoon film had many historical distortions. Communism, and Lenin and Stalin were not even alluded to. there was too much villainly laid to Rasputin, who was an evil man.. but so was Joe Stalin. a positive side effect was a ( spike) of interest in Czarist Russia and this would have been much greater if this was a live action film which the saga cries out for -in Russia and all , err Satellite republic languages/ do it now!

Why is Russia no longer led by a Czar?
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.

To basically rally the troops. Also to replace Grand Duke Nicholas as Supreme Commander. Big mistake for several reasons. One-he didn't have the military background.
