Russian Monarchy Rising Again?

Emperor Nicholas II of Russia was unceremoniously deposed of his crown on July 17, 1918 by the Bolsheviks. Since that time, there has not been a Russian Monarch, but recently there has been talk of re-establishing the Monarchy in hopes of unifying the country during these troubling times.

The idea is rather enticing and will need approval from the Russian parliament as well as the Russian people, but it would be rather interesting to see the Romanov's rise to power once again (albeit in a constitutional role).
