CoachGrand 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.

Yeah, There's a million of Anastasia Nikitinas
What was the war that caused the death of Anastasia?
World War I
What was a laudable nickname for Anastasia in the twenties?
The Great White Hope. Do not confuse with the Boxer or the Hospital ship! Anastasia advocates saw her almost as a saintly figure, a Great White Hope against the Red darkness of her Home Country.
Why is Anastasia Romanov daughter of the last Russian Czar who was murdered along-with her family in the 1917 Russian Revolution so sought after in World History?
Seeking Anastasia is a romantic notion that takes some of the harshness from the reality of the true story. For the better part of the twentieth century following the Russian Revolution, life in Russia, the Soviet Union and the better part of Europe between WWI and WWII and immediately following were difficult and uncertain socially and economically. Until the use of DNA for positive identification came into use, there was no real harm in the fantasy that Anastasia be could found alive.
Who was killed in the peasants revolt and how?
Wat Tyler was killed.
