Why did the Tsarist government collapse after Czar Nicholas II stepped down?
On 15th March of 1917 Tsar Nicholas II abdicated from the Russian throne first in favour of his son Alexi, who was severly ill with Haemophilia, before swiftly changing his mind in favour of his brother, Grand Duke Mikhail Alexandrovich.
The Grand Duke refused to accept the crown and, in doing so, brought three hundred years of Imperial Romanov Russian rule to an end.
Who led the Russian revolution and what did he want?
The Russian revolution is typically seen as being carried out by the Bolshevik party, though it was, in essence, a movement brought about by the Russian workers and merely sparked and aided by the Bolsheviks.
The man typically seen as the leader of the Bolsheviks is known as Vladimir Lenin, but his next-in-command Leon Trotsky was the leader of the Petrograd Soviet (socialist union of workers in the capital city of Petrograd) at the time of the revolution.
The common aims of Lenin, Trotsky, and the whole of the Bolshevik party was to overthrow the opressive Tsar (Basically a king), take from the rich, give to the poor, and (in the distant future) have a world without nations, hate, greed, opression, classes, or property.
Stalin stole power from Trotsky after Lenin died of a stroke and un-did most of the progress that Lenin made towards the Communist goal.

Was Nicholas II assassinated after he lost the support of his army and people?
He wasn't assassinated immediately after losing the support of the army and people. He abdicated in March 1917 once he realized that he did not have that support. He was murdered in July 1918, well after his abdication, during the Russian Civil War. This was done so that the pro-monarchist/anti Bolshevik forces could not rescue him and either restore him to the throne or use him to rally the rest of the country against the Bolsheviks.

Was killing the Romanovs necessary?
This is clearly a question that can only be answered on a subjective basis, because if they were not killed, no one can provide any evidence on what the impact of that would have caused. It's clear that the Russian people no longer had an allegiance to the Romanov family. Czar Nicholas had harshly crushed riots by having his soldiers fire into the crowds, killing many people, especially in the riots of 1905. An imprisonment in Siberia would in my opinion would have taken care of any return to a monarchy.
How did the Russians feel about the czar before the Russian revolution?
They hated his guts. That's why the revolution happened in the first place.
Who supported the czar during 1905 to1917?
The revolutionary parties did not support the Tsar, and the Liberals were not too happy with him after he broke his promises about the October Manifesto. THe Black Hundreds and other such like people did support him however. I hope this is helpful :) let me know if it is ;)
Why did George V not try to save the czar of Russia?
When the Czar was overthrown Great Britain wasn't doing too good. Conditions were worsening in the UK because of the war and the nation was nearing a revolution, therefore King George thought it wouldn't be appropriate to bring the whole Royal family to Great Britain. He thought it would probably just anger the British people. FYI the revolution never happened in the UK as they feared at the time, as the UK prospered after the war.
Did Anastasia die with here family?
Yes she did, all the bodies of those killed in the Ipatiev house have been recovered
and DNA has revealed Franziska Schanzowska (Anna Anderson) was in no way related to The Romanovs, therefore not Anastasia
Many say yes, but I say no.
Read about Anna Anderson, I believe she was Anastasia.
Is there any distant relative of Czar Nicholas who carried the Haemophilia gene?
No. It is a disease carried and transferred through the female line. Tsarina Alexandra passed it on to her only son, Tsarevich Alexi, from her Grandmother - Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom.
Did the grand dutchess Anastasia live?
Having read several books on this subject both pro-Anastasia and pro-Ortho history- e.g. all the family died in the Massacre, but one notices a paucity of details in the latter tomes, liike news events that might report heavy casualties of, say an earthquake but omit details as to Richter scale magnitude, location etc. My feeling is Yes, she survived the Revolution and first went to Berlin, then arguably Paris, and in Nineteen Hundred-Twenty-two, like the catchy parody-she left the Old World For the New and surfaced in Manhattan. Incredible as it sounds in one account, from the mother-in-law of a friend of mine, Anastasia re-entered the Soviet Union (accopanied by White agents) in the year l928 and was sighted on the Moscow transit system by the then young lady cited. ( It was like seeing a ghost but there was pomp and splendor neath her shabby trench coat) she was Anastasia! Regardless of survivsl the White Movement was politically null after l922 though she kept a so-called GOVINEX going in it is rumored, Philadelphia. the State song of PA. is a Czarist Russian political anthem penned by Tschaikovsky, by the way! an interesting sub-fact as far as is known Anastasia Romanov and Amelia Earhart never met though it is just possible they may have seen each other during the war. iIt is known Queen Marie of Romania knew personally BOTH the elusive Czarina and the equallky evasive Aviatrix on totally different occasions, she knew the Russian Royal family as visiting relatives last seen in l9l6 , and she awared Amelia the aeronautics merit cross in about l934 or l935. thus she knew both women of mystery! Marie died of some form of cancer in l938.
How did the Kadets criticize the tsar's rules?
The Kadets criticized the Tsar's rules as being autocratic in nature and un restrained by any sort of written constitution. In short, they criticized the Tsar acting as a king.

Who was Russian ruling family before the communist revolution?
The Romanov family ruled Russia for 300 years before Tsar Nicholas II abdicated in 1917. However, the communist revolution did not end this dynasty. Nicholas II abdicated the throne in March 1917 as a result of the February Revolution. The Communist or Bolshevik Revolution did not take place until the following October eight months after the dynasty had ended.
It is not possible to make the same kind of casts at Herculaneum as Fiorelli made in Pompeii. In Pompeii, the ash fallout settled around bodies then hardened, creating a cavity in the shape of the body. Herculaneum experienced different conditions to Pompeii in the eruption; it was covered in a thick layer of hot volcanic material sometimes described as 'mud' which did not harden around the shape of the bodies in the same way as the ash did in Pompeii. So the remains that have been found in Herculaneum have been skeletons, (remembering that of course in Pompeii a skeleton is inside the plaster cast, and many skeletons were also found there that were not cast).
Interestingly, the casting technique is today being used to make a modern cast of the actual remains; these can be displayed without the issue of whether human remains should be viewed. Some of the skeletons of Herculaneum from the beachfront have been recently cast in this way for display purposes.
