There is significant research to prove on the basis of the actual materials that
Nicholas II had abdicated the throne. See here:

I just yesterday found this article. And indeed, there is simply no so-called "abdication" on stamped paper. There was a telegram to General Headquarters. Typewritten text on plain paper, which is located in the State. archives of Russia, signed in pencil for some reason (such a case the signature pencil was not for all the board of Sovereign!). In addition, the signature looks fake (other hand) when compared with the original signatures of Nicholas II. See for yourself.
From all this it follows that Tsar Nicholas II was betrayed and arrested illegally at the station "bottom".
