that's certainly possible: maybe one of the daughters ends up hating her father (not uncommon among children in their teens and twenties...) and go to Moscow as a sort of propaganda coup by the Soviet regime. Maybe she becomes an actress in one of the Soviet propaganda films (directed by Eisenstein?) perhaps even playing herself in a movie about the Russian revolution (wouldn't be horribly ironic).I also wonder if there would be the urge for Nicholas to be Tsar again, particularly when the civil war breaks out in the twenties. This perhaps would be led by Alexandra.
I also can't see Nicholas supporting the soviets as that would mean siding with the Bolsheviks. Just for some irony, I think it would be fun if one or more of his daughters was fairly progressive with fairly socialist leanings. He would see this as the worst sort of betrayal.
And I could even see him have Nazi sympathies in the 30s. Fair few people did.
If she goes in the 30s she might actually be caught up in the stalinist purges and is shot by the bolsheviks 20 years after she was otl.
Or maybe he gets shown some Potemkin villages and come back to the US convinced about the success of Soviet socialism. She goes to Hollywood (her family connections help her get parts in films) and runs in leftist cycles and maybe even ends connected with some sort of Communist spying plot in the late 30s and 40s. She finally gets her eyes opened in the 1950s during the red scare and as information about the extent of Stalin's purges gets leaked out more and more, she converts to becoming ardent anti-communist and finally make peace with her elderly father (now in his 80s). She testifies before Richard Nixon and the House Committee on Unamerican activities. Many of her former friends in Hollywood abandons her for that but she ends up meeting and befriending a president of the screen actors guild named Ronald Reagan....
