Does anyone know if Russia's current president is any relation to the Medvedev that was one of Nicholas II's executioners?

At least I'm not the only one who noticed that. /
I feel really strange about this subject. I've learned that people like Adolp Hitler and Josef Stalin killed millions of innocent people like you and me, and I've accepted it. I've learned that Empress Sissi was assasinated and I've accepted it. I've learned that Eva Peron died of cancer at an unfairly young age and I've accepted it. Why is it that you can give me so much evidence and information that the Romanovs were killed that night, yet it seems more like a clip from movie or a paragraph from a book that isn't true? Somehow, I feel that that isn't what happened. Maybe I should have listened to that ignorant teacher last year. Maybe I need to stop day-dreaming and see the truth. but either ways, I still feel like it couldn't have happened. Cally me crazy, but that's just how I feel.
If I'm wrong and all of you guys have been right all along (which is most likely the case), it's so saddening. Underneath all of the grandeur, the jewels, and the power, they were human. They ate, they slept, they bled, they cried, they laughed, and they died. Why must history be so cruel? Why is it the innocent and the perfect couple must die? When shall we know the answers to these question? Nevermore.
(P.S. If you like my poetry and writing, tell me)
I feel the same way. I think it is the countless photographs of them that make them more real to us. Being a mother, my heart breaks looking at their pictures sometimes, especially their early photos of them, as babies and young children, much like my own.
Seeing those gorgeous children and knowing that in a decade, or more or less, they are going to suffer a horrible murder, and they had no idea.
It makes me go into denial, too. One time when I first visited the site, I saw a photo of OTM, when O and T were just little and M a baby, about one year old. I remember thinking, "No. It's not them. These are not the Romanovs, they are someone else's kids. Some other cute kids of a century ago- and they live in America or England, and they will all live to be ninety or a hundred, and will have happy lives. Just, no!" I was almost in tears, and sometimes I have to stop looking at Romanov photos because they do depress me. It makes me feel that God had no mercy.
