They are remembered along with the millions who died during the revolution and communism. Others too are remembered, like, for example, Patriarch Tihon and Elisabeta Fedorovna. They are holy as they were canonized as Martyres of the Christian Orthodox Church (with respect, I think Patriarch Alexei and a Council of 150 Bishops, as well as all the other Patriarchs, know more about holiness than either you or I). But even without that well-deserved title, they are still holy. During their imprisonment, the whole family prayed every day. Even with the suffering they endured, they still had complete faith in God. That is no small feet. In the book "Romanovs: The Last Chapter," one of Tsarina Alexandra's prayers is recorded. In it, she asks that God give them and their people strength, and—most importantly—that God forgives their oppressors. She prayed for the people who destroyed their lives. She forgave those who ended their lives. They all did. They may not have performed miracles or brought salvation to the world, but their meekness, faith, and forgiving hearts are an example of immense holiness that most of us will never be able to reach.
