text: In this photo taken in spring-summer of 1917, provided by Russian State Documentary Film and Photo Archive, Russia's deposed Czar Nicholas II, sits on a tree stump, three of the soldiers that held him captive standing in the background in Tsarskoe Selo, the residence of the Russian czar, outside St. Petersburg, Russia. Nicholas, his wife Alexandra and their five children were executed by Bolsheviks in 1918 . The 1917 Bolshevik Revolution was long before the digital revolution allowed anyone to instantly document events. But the clumsy cameras of the time still caught some images that capture the period's drama. (Photo by Russian State Documentary Film and Photo Archive via AP Photo
