Never mind the Tsar -- the biggest mistake the *Russian Communist Party*
made was not having Lenin assassinated.

(Lenin got a very chilly reception from the local party leaders when he
arrived in Moscow after years in exile, calling for immediate violent
revolution. They were trying to work something out with the rest of the
fumbling factions then struggling to create a workable post-Tsar
government. Only Lenin and his immediate followers, who were initially
not very numerous and not very convincing, were totally opposed to deals
and power-sharing. Had the more moderate Communists realized what was
coming, inconspicuously murdering Lenin would have looked very attractive.)
