the USSR in red alert is a villain in the same way Dr Robotnik is

sure they're the bad guys but like, they absolutely rock

sure. the monarchist powers of europe would totally have left revolutionary france alone if they had just let the leeches keep their heads. totally.

did you not read the meme in this post?

you have the benefit of hindsight which the bolsheviks did not have. in their situation of course they did what they did.

perhaps, but it was an ongoing civil war where leaving one of them alive could have led to them being captured by the Whites which would have been a huge boon and rallying point for the disunited White movement. with Puyi it was different because the right KMT were republicans too and would have probably executed Puyi, especially since he had been a collaborator of the highest order with the Japanese. if he'd been captured by the enemy then it wouldn't have been potentially disastrous for the CPC in the way that capture of a Romanov by the Whites would have been for the Bolsheviks

no lol, she deserved what she got just like every unrepentant royal does

the closest to sympathy i get for royals is feeling bad that the romanov children had to be executed, but that was a matter of pragmatism rather than justice
