Yes, the tsars were like royalty, but much more than that (atleast until 1917 when the tsar, Nicholas II was forced to abdicate. Definitely include in your research the February Revolution...this really marked a turning point in public opinion on the figure of the tsar. Up until this point, Russia's population, while still unhappy, continued to have faith in their tsar, commonly known as the "little father" or "father" of the Russian people. During this particular revolultion, a number of riots and rallies escalated and were put down with force by the tsar, permanently shattering the monarch's image as the nuturing "father" of his people. Below is an excerpt from Lenin's collected works, which very plainly displays the tsar's fall from "father" to despot, in the eye of the public. There are a lot of documents like the one below that will be helpful in showing the rise of communism as faith in the tsar plumeted.

I would guess that, since Czars were monarchs (the only ruler-no democracy), it would have easily paved the way for a such a powerfully government-controlled system like Communism.
But that's just a thought off of the top of my head.
I hope I helped. =)
