I got to the part of the Revolutions podcast where the royal family died. He said the consensus is that Moscow ordered the death of the whole family. Is that pretty much agreed on by serious historians nowadays or is that Cold War historiagraphy?
It seemed kind of split when I looked in some Ask Historians thread on Reddit from years ago, but I also might just be seeing what I want to see. What do historians think? What do you think? If Lenin and company in Moscow ordered it, why?
As a sidenote: good luck with the rest of the podcast from this point foward. The quality drops a lot, he starts mixing up a lot of key facts and becomes way too reliant on anti-communist sources like “A People’s Tragedy”.
Damn that’s too bad. I was warned that would happen at some point, but up to now, it has been entertaining hearing him get radicalized more and more every season just from reading straight facts from history lol. It’s going to be disappointing if that trend reverses now. But it’s been part of the reason I’ve been slow rolling the end of this season so much, because I’ve been apprehensive of when that will happen =(
