    Yes exactly, because no other such peculiar situation as I have described has happened to progressive revolutionaries AFAIK. Is that so hard to understand?

      … you think… foreign invaders attempting to re-instate the old dynasty on the throne during a civil war over progressive revolution… is a peculiar situation that had never happened before or since the Russian Civil War?

      Are you fucking serious right now?

      Is that so hard to understand?

      It is extremely hard to understand why you insist that it’s unique, yes.

        Yekaterinburg was about to be captured by the whites, that’s my whole point. The situation in the ground is complementary to the overarching political one

          It’s a good thing no one involved literally and personally went to Moscow, and then back to Yekaterinburg. That would really reveal a stunning solution of ‘moving the royal family’ that might render the “Yekaterinburg is about to fall!” excuse utterly hollow.
