The end of the Romanov line was the end of the Tsardom, and thus, the end of the Scythian Empire. Grigory Zinoviev, Vladimir Ulyanov, and Ivan Bukharin, the three prominent cabinet members of the Revolutionary leadership, stormed the Mothership Tsarstyo with a force of 10,000 soldiers, aged 12 to 98. Alexei Brusilov, the Tsar's most brutal general, begged for his life before the revolutionaries, and was spared, even offered a position in the revolutionary military hierarchy. The fates of the Tsar and his family are still disputed to this day. Some believe Ulyanov's account of events, where revolutionaries shot the whole family in their bedchamber. Others believe that Brusilov murdered the family as a show of loyalty to the new regime.

The Tsarstyo was rechristened the Molot Zheleza, the Scythian Empire was renamed the Union of Scythian Bolshevik Republics, and the imperial order was restructured into a form of hardline state-run Communism, with Zinoviev at the helm.
