it was a form of ritualized murder, all monarchies of tha time were overthrown, they symbolically and literally killed the two lungs of Christianity, killing the Romanovs was the way of killing the Orthodox Christ's Crown of the East, such crown was represented by the Romanovs. the murder of them then was a form of transmutation, from a religious patriarchal country, to a country under marxist dialect of materialism, in that case the state is sort of a goddess, the son or daughter is lenin which transfers in the trinitarian inverted hegelian triangle under the revolutionary spirit of 'lenism' which is why lenin has his tomb in the capital of the country, and such is inside of a pyramid. that is an allusion to the apotheosis of a paganistic 'pharaoh.' same thing happened with washington, there's even a painting on this, in the case of the us and france, libertas is the spirit, and the state is still a sort of goddess.
