WI- Romanovs escape Execution

What if in the early stages of the Communist Revolution, Tsar Nicholas and his family flee to Germany or England, would they be able to rally support against the Bolsheviks. Please post a scenario, since I am unsure about mine and would accept some criticism.


I have this scenarios...

In 1917, the Romanovs flee Russia to London. In a meeting with King George (In Picture)

(Strangely the two look alike since they were cousins.)


In the meeting with several politicians and American representatives as well, they agree to intervene in Russia after the 1st World War. The Civil War in Russia, as well as the First World War go on as usual. Brest Litovsk is signed, America enters the war as a result of the Zimmerman Telegram. The war goes its normal path and on November 11th, 1918, Armistice is declared, and the war ends.

Now the Allies must face the Communist threat and return the Romanovs to their throne. (From This point, it can break into several scenarios)...

Scenario 1-

In early 1919, the first Allied Actions in Russia begin. Royal Army Soldiers cross the former Ottoman Border into the Caucus'. Using territories from the Brest-Litovsk Treaty, the Allies begin a massive assault into Russian Territory to assist the White Army. Within several months, Japanese-American forces start to take ports on the Pacific Coast, eliminating Communist threats from Siberia. By the end of the year, Allied forces are at Moscow and St. Petersburg, and most of Southern Russia is in White Army control. In Early 1920, Moscow is taken, as well as most of the former Russian Empire. The Allies reinstate Tsar Nicholas as the Ruler, but turn him into a figurehead in a democratic nation, but the Romanovs still hold great influence.

With the war over, the territory lost by the Russians in WWI are returned, except for Poland. The Romanovs live under close watch by the Americans and other Allies who support the Limited Monarchy over a Communist state. The Russian monarchy remains until modern times like most other constitutional monarchies. Tsar Nicholas would probably live until the early 1920's and give the throne to his young son, Alexei, who would be between 17-20.

Scenario 2-

With the war over, the ideas of overthrowing the Communist state are long forgotten, and the monarch is long forgotten. The Royal family marries off with the English royal family, and Tsarevich Alexei's son, or possibly daughter would become the future monarch of England. Other than that, world history would relatively be unchanged with the exception of one bad Disney movie never existing.

My Scenario:

1940s: The Stalinist KGB infiltrates several monarchist organizations and eventually kills the Imperial family in London.

The End.

Yes, I'm a horrible cynical and negative man.
 
my only thought is that even with the Romanovs in London, the allies wouldn't be that interested in continued fighting during and after ww1. during OTL's revolution, the Brits and French did send an epiditionary force into Archangel, but didn't seem that interested in sending troops to Russia when they were more needed in France.
 
maverick if your Scenario 2.5 will happen, i think that can maybe be a Causus Beli between both nations(more if Alexai is married with a English Noble, that will be a Insult to the Britons).

I think the most realistic option is the scenario 2, the romanov know now than they any longer NOT will be accepted in Russia and try to make a new life with their possesion in Britain(and yes, Anastatia was a shit, that was maybe the worst diney movie)

Anastasia was made by FOX, if I remember correctly.
 
Only thing about Fox I hated. I could also picture maybe that neither side wins, and a democracy is formed with the Romanovs much like a Constitutional Monarchy, like the English or Japanese Monarchy.

Big problem is that Alexei is Orthodox and any heir to the throne is of the Church of England.

To be fair, it is much better than The Secret of Anastasia. My God, I felt like I was watching that Titanic movie with the rapping dog again.

At least, Anastasia had a cool ballroom sequence.

Anyways, I too see Russia becoming like England or Japan, perhaps with a slightly less powerful throne.
 
Yeah, Magical Communists!!!!!


That is such a rip of the original movie, at least the original tried to be good. They can't even say her name right!!!!
 
IF the all of the immediate Imperial Family (The Czar, his wife and children and his brothers and their families) escaped they might have tried to rally the Whites in the Civil War.

However, they probably would have led live in exile in Spain or another country just as the OTL heirs did, though the Romanov family would not be split as it is today.

It would have been interesting to see the reaction of the exiled Nicholas II to the German invasion of the Soviet Union...

The Problem with both of these is that it overlooks the fact that Anastasia was 17 in 1918.
