09/26/2007: "Political executions ruled not political in Russia"
Family members of Russia's last czar should not be considered victims of political repression, a top prosecutor ruled Wednesday, again denying a request by royal family descendants.
Nicholas II and his family were sent to the Ural Mountains city of Yekaterinburg, where a firing squad executed them on July 17, 1918.
[ Yep, sure wasn't political. Yep. The crowd hates the aristocracy and anyone else smarter than the crowd. If these victims had been commoners, blacks, Jews, feminists or kittens, we would have a Holocaust Museum for them already. Instead, they are denied the truth of their deaths: they were killed for political reasons by an unruly mob that still rules. ]
