∙ 13y agoGrand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia (Velikaya Knyazhna Anastasiya Nikolayevna Romanov) was executed because Vladimir Lenin and the Bolshevik Red Army forces wanted to ensure that no descendant of the Romanov family could ever be restored to the throne.
The Tsar had been deposed after the February Revolution and were being held by the Provisional Government with an aim to exile them to England. The Bolsheviks overthrew the Provisional Government in the October Revolution and took custody of the family.
During the ensuing Russian Civil War, they were moved around often and in July, 1918, they were being held in the Ipatiev House in Ekaterinburg. A Czech unit of the White Army forces was nearby looking to capture the family. Vladimir Lenin decided the family had to be killed before the White Army could capture them and possibly restore Nicholas to the throne so he gave the order.
They decided to kill the whole family. That is why Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia and all of her family were murdered.
