Why did the Bosheviks not arrange a trial before killing Czar Nicolas II?
In OTL the Soviet Union did a lot of such trials later on. Previously both Charles I and Louis XVI were both tried before they were beheaded.
I recall hearing that the English revolutionaries made a point of saying something like they had not had killed the King 'in a corner'.
By the way was there anything the Bolsheviks could plausably have brought up in such a trial?
Would such a trial have made any difference either way to subsequent events?
