[TheBavarianAryan]

was he german?

[MadMonarchist]

@TheBavarianAryan Ethnically he was -a Baltic German (actually born in Austria) of whom there were many in the Russian aristocracy. Politically he was as a loyal a Russian and son of the Tsar as you would ever find, he just had German blood in his veins.

This man is maybe bloody maniac:) but true Mongolian Hero. From Mongolia.

[Baltvilks]

Я слышал, в монгольских унылых улусах,

Ребенка качая при дымном огне,

Раскосая женщина в кольцах и бусах

Поет о бароне на черном коне...

И будто бы в дни, когда в яростной злобе

Шевелится буря в горячем песке, -

Огромный, он мчит над пустынею Гоби,

И ворон сидит у него на плече.

[Galdankhaan]

Барон унгэрн бол монголчуудийн төлөө амьдарсан хүн юм байна шүү. Комунист Зөвлөлтийн тархи угаагчид бидний тархинд муу хүн мэтээр биднийг хуурж байсан байна. Баабар мэтийн новшийн хужаа барон унгэрнийг галзуу гэж хочилдог нь учиртай , Барон унгэрн монголийг хужаа солонгос еврэй мэтийн хувалзнуудаас монголийн цусийг аварж хадгалж үлдсэн юм шүү!

[BielajaArmija]

[EvzoniBBBB]

Truly a hero of epic proportions

2 weeks later the Red Army entered Warsaw and NKWD began to search Ossendowski. When they get to know he was dead, they dig up his buried body, compered the corpse with Ossendowski's photos they had and called for a dentist to identificate if this was really Ossendowski. When they finally assured themselves that it was him they left very unsatisfied.

[TheMuhulai]

@adam860212, your comments are very informative & interesting! As it happens I'm in the middle of reading Ossendowski's really fascinating book "Beasts Men and Gods". I think he was a great scholar and a very courageous man indeed.

[adam860212]

During Warsaw Uprising of 1944 Ossendowski left the city and moved to a manor house in Żółwin which was full of refugees from burning Warsaw. On day, a limo covered with tarpaulin arrived at the manor house. A young officer in a rank of a lieutenat got out of the car and asked about Ossendowski. Than he introduced himself as Unbeg von Sternberg. On the next day Ossendowski was ddead.

[adam860212]

After Ungern's death, when Ossendowski settled in Poland and led a quiet life of a writer-journalist he used to say, but rather in a manner of joke, that due to a prophecy of an old mongolian lama, who once foretold that Ungern would die within 16 weeks, Ossendowski is going to die no sooner than Ungern himself remains him to do so.

[adam860212]

Later Ossendowski denied that he had hidden Ungern's treasures but there were witnesses who claimed that he was the only person who could possibly know where all this gold was.

[adam860212]

It is said that gen. Kolczak gave the legendary treasure of tsars to Unberg. Than Unberg passed it to Ossendowski along with many more stolen gold and lamaist treasures hoping that this man, who brilliantly knew the geography of Asia and spoke fluently 8 foreign languages (among them chinese and mongolian) would be able to hide it somewhere.

[adam860212]

I really do not know what to think about him. I've just read Ossendowski's book on his escape from bolshevik Russia and friendship with baron. I think, I had to get to known something more about Ungern-Sternberg. By the way, do you Know that Ossendowski himself is a very misterious person. Specially his death seems to be quite enigmatic.

[lordcornwallis2]

this man was one of the best soldiers russia ever produced he was outstanding in every way then he went native fighting and winning his own way, he was operating with his ragtag army quite beyond any acceptable norm of human conduct and quite obviously he had gone insane!

[MadMonarchist]

Yes, he was the real-life Colonel Kurtz of northeast rather than southeast Asia.

[Alex128412]

He is a very interesting maniac. Очень интересный человек, маньяк, мечтавший объединить Монголию и ликвидировать большевизм.

[MadMonarchist]

All very true, wiping out the communists was the ultimate goal.

[Aksanazant]

1:54- Is that Ossendowski, isn't he? :)

Hail Ungern-Khan, last solar crusader against the bolshevism

[MadMonarchist]

Yes it is, that's the guy.

[VANDALICVS]

thank you for very rare photographies! May I ask you, what is the music used in the video?

[MadMonarchist]

It's just Youtube stock audio. They muted my first score so I had to replace it with some of their stuff.

[propellermann312]

A fascinating collage about one of the most controversial and glamerous anti-heroes of world-history !

[georgekostaras]

I read about this guy, he's the stuff of legend but he's a total wacko.

[MadMonarchist]

Trouble is, most of the stuff you read is legend -very, *very* little is known for sure about him. That being said, most likely had more than a few screws loose.
