Post on War

I read this article about war on the internet.  This article actually takes place in the Russian civil towards the end of World War I.  Lenin was shipped to Russia to create disturbances in effect helping his own country's war efforts.  Lenin eventually took control of the capital Petrograd, and had wanted to destroy the Romonov family headed by Nicholas II.  After the moderates had been rooted out, Lenin sent the order to have the royal family executed.  The bolsheviks burned the bodies, tried to dissolve them in acid, and threw them down a flooded mine shaft.  This was an awful incident, and a thing of this kind should never happen again.  This is what happens in revolutions when people get out of control.  People rise to power who would other whys be common losers in a healthy society.  Revolution hardly ever accomplishes something good without a great price.  Besides, the new boss... same as the old boss saying always seems to hold true.  "Romonov's family Assasination in Ekaterinberg."  Ekaterinberg Travel.  2008.  12 March 2009.  < http://www.ekaterinburg.tv/Romanovs.htm >.
