CNN reports, "One of the most enduring mysteries of the 20th century has been put to rest: DNA analysis of bone fragments has proven that two of Czar Nicholas' children believed to have escaped were killed with their royal family during the Russian Revolution." One of the most enduring ideologically-inspired delusions continues. The Communists didn't overthrow the czar. They overthrew the people who overthrew the czar. Later, they characteristically murdered the czar and his family, a cowardly act that gets spun into some vaguely heroic stand against tyranny by revisionists. Instead of referring to the Bolshevik seizure of the state as the Russian Revolution, as so many mistakenly do, it would be more accurate to call it the Bolshevik coup d'etat. It more closely resembled the phrase Messrs Merriam and Webster define as a violent power grab by a tiny group. The real Russian Revolution, in which czarism was deposed, occurred in February 1917 and not November (so-called the October Revolution because of Russia's belated acceptance of Pope Gregory XIII's calendar).

It's always amazing to me when murderers of children are called heroes.

It was recently pointed out to me that while fleeing justice in Argentina, Josef Mengele (among other things) worked as an abortionist.

I would have thought that someone like Mengele would have drawn the line at abortion.

I have long felt a similar thing about the Russian "Revolution". Coup d'etat is a good substitute. They hunted these people down.
