As I read the last post, I had a few questions pop into my mind and I wanted to share them with you. These questions are thought of to provoke discussion so feel free to reply.
1. Do you feel the Provisional Government had the right to decide that Nicolas II and his family were to be executed? If so why or why not?
2. How do you think the rest of the world responded and why did they view this difficult time for Russia the way they did?
A question I have for the author, Sheila Fitzpatrick. Why do you feel Zinoviev and Kamenev thought it irresponsible for the Bolsheviks to seize power by a coup and in what other way could the Bolsheviks have gained power?

No, I don't think that the Provisional Government had the right to decide to execute Tsar Nicholas II and his family because the Tsar didn't do anything bad enough to deserve getting executed and his faimily especially didn't to anything to deserve getting executed. The poverty of the people in Russia was not only the Tsars fault, the politicians beneath him were jus as much at fault as Tsar Nicholas II, therefore it is unjust for the Provisional Government to decide to execute the Tsar and his family.
