Also, "murder" is defined as the unlawful killing of a person. Whoever wrote the article states that the members of the Royal Family were "murdered" by Yurovsky's comrades. If the Soviet ruled they were enemies of the state, they were therefore lawfully executed, and "killed" rather than "murdered." I guess it's all whose perspective you take.

I think they mean unlawful in the sense of an extra-judicial killing, hence murder and not lawful execution.

Any sources proving that his grandfather was a Rebbe and his father was a criminal? 71.252.104.108 21:41, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You'll will only find that information in czarist and antisemitic books. 19:58, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Poor Research

The Yurovsky family were Russian Orthodox This is very poorly researched

The above comment is confirmed by the content of one of the links in the article itself http://www.alexanderpalace.org/palace/yurovski_bio.html

Authors should read their ownsources before submitting articles. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by SMBreitstein (talk • contribs) 11:24, August 20, 2007 (UTC).

Needs More Work

I corrected a couple of minor factual errors. Unfortunately, there is a reference to questionable, probably forged documents relating to the execution squad. Researchers are now able to determine more facts relating to the execution. This page really should be re-evalutated for accuracy. Kate Singh

I recently read: "The Fate of the Romanovs" by Greg King and Penny Wilson (Wiley, 2003) that suggests that Yurovsky's death was due to a heart attack, and not an ulcer. Although, the text did mention the fact he had an ulcer at the time he died.

Needs to stay objective

I edited out the word "scumbags" after the term Bolsheviks. I don't feel that is appropriate here.
