Does the modern nation of Russia in any way honor the memory of Czar Nicholas II and his family that were murdered by the early Soviet uprising?

The Russians have been, understandably, extremely ambivalent about honoring the memory of Nicholas and his family. Though it is accepted that Nicholas was a decent man, historians and others excoriate his weaknesses and the imperial system that prevented the implementations of reforms that might have held off the Revolution. The bones found in 1991 and subected to exhaustive DNA and other forms of testing were buried in the SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral in St. Petersburg in 1998. The Russian Orthodox Church Abroad canonized the members of the family in 1981, and the Russian Orthodox Church within Russia did so in 2000. I believe that there is a memorial in Ekaterinburg, on the site of the now-destroyed Ipatiev House, where the Imperial Family and their retainers were executed in a semi-basement room. But most articles I've read have said that Russians pay little or no attention to the subject. They have other and more important things to worry about: http://www.romanovfundforrussia.org/family/funeral.html May 06 06, 8:22 PM

On Nicholas II, see the site below. An interesting book involving not only the discovery of the bones and the testing done on them, but also attitudes current in Russia in the early-to-mid 1990's is Robert K. Massie's "The Romanovs: The Final Chapter" (New York, 1995). Massie is the author of "Nicholas and Alexandra." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_II_of_Russia May 06 06, 8:27 PM
