Introduction

On October 10, 1917, Lenin led the Bolsheviks party in the “Great Russian October Revolution”, building the Union State of the Soviet Socialist Republic.

In the early days of building the Soviet Revolution, many childish, hasty, and wrong things happened, and one of those mistakes by the Bolsheviks was to kill Tsar Nicola Romanov II, along with the rest of his family members.

His family, including his wife, five sons and daughters of the Tsar, and four servants, eleven in all, on July 17, 1918, were killed in the city of Yekaterinburg.

After the October Revolution, Tsar Nicholas II’s family was arrested, placed under house arrest, and taken from Moscow to the distant city of Yekaterinburg, 2000 km from Moscow, where they were imprisoned in the Ipatiev House of a private official’s property in this city.

At approximately 1:00 a.m early morning, on July 17, Tsar Nicholas II, his wife Alexandra, and their children Princess Olga, age 23, Princess Maria, age 19, Princess Anastasia, age 17, and Prince Tsarevich Fourteen-year-old Alexei was shot and bayoneted by the Bolsheviks in the underground bunker of the Ipachiev mansion.

Other members of the Romanov family were killed in the small city of Alapayevsk, more than 120 km from Yekaterinburg, a day later, on July 18, 1918, including a nun and the Tsar’s servants, who were also killed, shot and killed by grenades.

This was the insidious work of the local Bolsheviks in Siberia, without the knowledge of Lenin’s Central Government, as the Soviet State later explained.

Yekaterinburg city is the administrative center of Sverdlovsk Oblast and Ural Federal District, Russia, about 2000 km from Moscow, bordering the Sebiria region.

Yekaterinburg was founded on November 18, 1723 and named after Yekaterina I, wife of Russian emperor Peter the Great.

We should remember that Vietnam also carried out the “Great August Revolution” in 1945, but did not kill King Bao Dai, but President Ho Chi Minh also invited former Emperor Bao Dai to be an Advisor to the Vietnamese Provisional Government. Male.

80 years later, on July 17, 1998, Russian President Boris Yeltsin attended the reburial ceremony for the Tsar Romanov family, and read a speech vindicating the Tsar’s family, publicly accepting on behalf of the Russian Government guilty for unjustly killing the Tsar, the Tsar’s family, and his servants.

daivietnam.com would like to translate this speech of Russian President Boris Yeltsin verbatim from the English version, the title of the English version is “May they rest in peace”

Following is the English text of President Boris N. Yeltsin’s speech at the burial ceremony of 17^th July 1998, for Czar Nicholas II.

“Dear fellow citizens:

It’s a historic day for Russia. Eighty years have passed since the slaying of the last Russian emperor and his family. We have long been silent about this monstrous crime. We must say the truth: The Yekaterinburg massacre has become one of the most shameful episodes in our history.

By burying the remains of innocent victims, we want to atone for the sins of our ancestors.

Those who committed this crime are as guilty as are those who approved of it for decades. We are all guilty.

It is impossible to lie to ourselves by justifying senseless cruelty on political grounds. The shooting of the Romanov family is a result of an uncompromising split in Russian society into ”us” and ”them.” The results of this split can be seen even now.

The burial of the remains of Yekaterinburg is, first of all, an act of human justice. It’s a symbol of unity of the nation, an atonement of common guilt.

We all bear responsibility for the historical memory of the nation. And that’s why I could not fail to come here. I must be here as both an individual and the president.

I bow my head before the victims of the merciless slaying.

While building a new Russia, we must rely on its historical experience.

Many glorious pages of Russian history were connected with the Romanovs. But with this name is connected one of the most bitter lessons: Any attempts to change life by violence is condemned to failure.

We must end the century, which has been an age of blood and violence in Russia, with repentance and peace, regardless of political views, ethnic or religious belonging.

This is our historic chance.

On the eve of the third millennium, we must do it for the sake of our generation and those to come. Let’s remember those innocent victims who have fallen to hatred and violence.

May they rest in peace.”///
