A friend just pointed out a small mistake in this essay: the Bolsheviks killed the Romanovs in 1918, whereas the USSR wasn't formed until 1922. In her words, it's important to remain aware of this progression "as part of remembering and retelling the stories of resistance to the Russian and then Soviet government's brutal repression of all dissenters, anarchist and anti-authoritarian resisters, as well as critics within the Russian Communist Party." Thanks!
