Tsar Nicholas II's Cover up

“No articles could be foundTsar Nicholas II was the last of the Russian monarchy, he renounced the throne during a bloody civil war between the Bolshevik “Red Army” and the anti bolshevik “White Army”. He and his family was then taken under custody of the White Army and fled into the rural countryside. When he was found in July 1918, his family, servants and himself were slaughtered in the cellar of their home. Their bodies were then burned and thrown in a mine shaft (TS). The murder of the family was hidden for many years under Lenin’s and Stalin’s regime, because of its brutality. The bodies were found many years later after the fall of the Soviet Union, yet so much is still unknown about the reality of the murders.”
