About this episode

The episode discusses the execution of Tsar Nicholas II and his family by the Bolshevik Revolution and its implications for moral and political order.

In the early hours of July 17, 1918, members of the Bolshevik Revolution executed Tsar Nicholas II and his family. The execution of the Romanovs was a declaration to the entire world that the Bolshevik Revolution was going to do more than transfer political authority. It was going to, by bloodshed, destroy the entire moral and political order grounded in Christianity and natural law. Marcus has more. This is a public episode.
