The IF were hated by those who were communists, and those who did not believe then as now, in the Russian Imperial rule, but that did not make it all of Russia. Yes, these were, and still remain people who hated the family, not necessarily the children.
For these above people the IF were deemed not worthy, but for a goodly amount of millions of people, they were also revered and loved, and judging by the amount of peoples who have dropped by to view this AP forum, they are still certainly remembered, and loved by many today. As well today, in the new Russian Federation, their names, their graves, and their persons are again being addressed, and revered. So, again it matters from whose perspective that one gains understanding. They have already paid a high price that they were slaughtered, and need not to have added insults thrown on them in death. You cannot say the world has forgot them, quite the contrary, and they are not at all insignificant, not at all !
For those on this forum who do not care for them, that is certainly your choice, but for those of us who don't, you cannot speak for all the forum, but only of how you independently feel, and neither can you make a blanket statement of those in the world outside this AP Forum.
There are many of in the past, and present who have addressed them not because of their royalty, but because of how they addressed their lives, and were able to transend any human issues personally of harboring hate, especially to those who were their persecutors. They lived their lives in faith to the very end, and in this regard for many in the free world, and for those in Russia as well, their lives have more than 100% significance and always will !
