I do not mean to comment so much but I have strong opinions about this woman. 1, She is not an imperial 2. she is not an heiress and 3. she needs to quit while she's ahead. Maria Vladimirovna is only making a fool of herself and is using the last Tsar's family to boost her publicity which is quite sad. I seriously doubt this woman gives a damn about what happened in 1918 or the history of the dynasty..she is a fakeass Tsarina wannabe and isnt to be taken seriously her son is a Prince of Prussia
Maria Vladimirovna is NOT a Grand Duchess folks..she is a princess from what I've researched she shouldn't even be that. The senior members of the Imperial Family never recognized her grandfather Cyril as tsar. She is not an Imperial Highness but a Highness. Her mother Leonida Georgievna was not a royal but a noble. Her father was not even a Grand Duke he was born a Prince...that title was designated for children or grandchildren of the tsar which neither party were.
The monarchy should come back to Russia..but that country has a lot of cleaning up to do politically such as getting rid of Putin and Medvevlev. Putin is only using Medvevlev as a pawn for himself just or get back into the role of president and turning that country back into Communist times. BTW Maria Vladimirovna is not the head of the Russian Imperial House and the Pauline Law says so. Those who say she is do no understand the laws and from what I hear she is a very bitchy individual.
Perhaps the choices the Russian people made in the internet poll referred to in this interview (assuming the voting wasn't rigged) reflects how confused a people get when they've lived under abusive governments for centuries. They vote Czar Nicholas II as their #1 favourite, and as #2 Stalin (who murdered millions of Russians), and then as #s 3 and 4 they pick the people who ordered the death of Czar Nicholas and his family. Someone seems a bit rattled in the attic.

@MsTruNorth Obviously the votes came from people with different opinions, just as there are two or three political parties that will give different opinions. No surprise. Not all have the same opinion, so the totals show that.
This interview seemed like a promo piece for the Romonov family...no tough questions. Tough question: Where did St. Czar Nicholas come by the hundreds of millions of dollars in his personal accounts? Tough question: How does the Russian Orthodox Church figure someone is a saint when they possess that much money and make no move to reduce hunger and poverty in the country they bear responsibility for?
@FRAGIORGIO1 Saying Nicholas had vast holdings does not answer the question as to y what means he came into possession of them. As regards the Russian Orthodox Church, it is not my intention to malign it in any way, only to question what traits that institutions deems to be "saintly" if it deems Nicholas is deemed a Saint while he possessed enormous wealth from sources we know not and he did nothing to alleviate poverty and desperation in the land he governed.
@MsTruNorth Surely you are joking! The Romanovs were in power from 1640. Don't you think that they came into many possessions over the centuries by a diversity of means? When they opened up Siberia, conquered Ukraine (Little Russia), the Caucasus region, they surely acquired possessions, so Nicholas inherited a great deal. That should be obviousl What did he do with it? That's worth investigating, if you are interested. The Imperial family was canonized as martyrs of the Reds.
@MsTruNorth Let me say, that upon investigation, it was the Orthodox Church in Exile that declared them martyrs, but the Russian Orthodox Church considered them saints for bearing their sufferings with patience and good faith. As a Monarch, Nicholas seems to have been rather inept.
I recall reading that Tsar Paul (1976-1801) introduced a Salic Law whereby women were excluded from the succession . Did this also outlaw succession through females?
Would this be taken to exclude Maria Vladimirovna's heirs from inheriting the throne? Or would circumstances, namely the Revolution etc, be said ot mitigate this law?
This is a serious question from one deeply interested in Russia and its ancient monarchy
I am not sure what "rehabilitaion" really means. Didn't Yeltsin attend the Imperial familys funeral? Were made not made Saints. I am not a monarchist but I admit that Russia's image might be enhanced by having a Tsar. What was Ethiopia without Haile Sellasie. Ethiopia had more prestige internationally when the conquering lion of the tribe of Juda was on the throne
@Tsaravitch "rehabilitaion" refers to the Russian state apologising and atoning for the murder of the Imperial Family and apologise for the years of slander against the Imperial Family. The state must be made to answer for the injustice they inflicted on the Imperial Family.
A great Lady..who is trying to adress the serious issues from Russian's past and finally restore the good name of Nicholas ll and his much loved dear family... :-)
Give the monarchy back. It was a cowardly way to murder the family like that. IT was wrong and times have changed. Give the family their name and respect back they deserve.
@Armando7214 They had the Pauline Law which was like the Salic Law in which Paul I created making sure no woman inherits the Imperial throne...from what Prince Dmitri said a woman can only inherit the throne if all the male line for instance if all the male line of Alexander III's son's died out it would pass into his female children, his daughter Xenia could have well inherited the throne for she was married to another Romanov cousin not the Vladimirovchi line.
This is an interesting video, especially on the Russia gov't channel. This is a very sympathetic treatment of the old imperial family. Is Putin perhaps thinking about restoring the Romanovs as figure heads to add dignity to his gov't? It is strange how Soviet & imperial imagery is invoked by the new Russia.
that father grigori/rasputin character is not Godful but a black magic sorceror. YUCK. probably did not actually die but flits about the planet and causes aditional trouble and disruption. when he is he actually leaving for good? should have happened by now. too many similar morons catering to his brand of "fun" and "miracles"....
Why you use down syndrome to push muss murder button? On art of Turner british respect down syndrome like princess. This people cant make decisions about mass murder and I am from Poland and I know they still in power!
Anna Vladimirovna is NOT constitutionally the head of the Romanov Family. The Romanovs have the Salic Law, only males can succeed. That could only be changed by changing the Russian law. Anna's father had no power to change the law of succession. The head of the Romanov Familly is the Grand Duke Nicholas Romanovich, chosen by the Romanov Family Association. Anna Vladimorovna is a usurping bitch!
Is there any campaign in Russia wherein the People were planninf of restoring the Imperial Family and the monarchy then replaced the Democratic Republic it now has?
It is interesting to note that Salic law also governed the throne of Hanover, such that when Queen Victoria ascended to the throne of Great Britain and Ireland, she was not allowed to ascend the Hanoverian throne. This is the clearest example to refute any claim that Maria Vladimirovna or her supporters think she has.
On a different note, post-revolutionary restoration happened in Britain after the death of Cromwell, but this is a rare example and we only have a constitutional monarchy now
Maria Vladimirovna seems to be "Maria The Great"! Intelligent and knowledgeable, she is a very down-to-earth Lady. I agree -- ONLY IF the Russian people want the Czars again, shud the Czars return. So...why not have a referendum? Personally, (since I am the grand-daughter of the Assistant Bandmaster of Czar Nicolas II's army, Fred, (Fievel) Nosovitsky), I truly want the Czars to return. I KNOW I am not alone in this! A Constitutional Monarchy for Russia -- Y_E_S ! { : )
Problem is you have so many kurdish who play muslims in Europe and in Russia, coz arabic hate them and force to muslim religion and poor children, what a shame you dont understand quantum mechanic supercomputers mass rule power and Poland is Poland, or you know, what will be next.
I want to make it clear for EU new members, but I dont have 100% sure. I was in laboratory of porphyria (this 'vampire' illness) and that was after 2 years of 'holidays' in UK, so numbers were like I didnt have porphyria attack, but they didnt say I dont have it and lucky, coz anyway I sleep now in kitchen in my family house... Porphyria attack is rare after alcohol, chemistry, without food, stress vs hallucinations. So I dont have to make proofs some how bow.
[...] The problem, is that the Salic Law don't let any woman to recive the title if there is another male relative near. This is the case of Nicholas Romanovich. But the problem that he has is that his daughters are married in a morganatic way. Tha Salic Law also forbids this. So there wouldn't be any Heirs... The easyest thing is to let Maria Vladimirovna rule and his son Giorgiy be the Heir. Like this, the Romanov Dinasty can survive! God Save the Empire and God save the Tsaritsa!
Mikhail Alexandrovich was murdered in 1918, a few time before his brother Nicholas II. The Salic Law is clear: "When the Tsar dies, the closest relative in the male line to the Tsar will be the next Tsar". The closest male member to Mikhail Alexandrovich was Kyrill Vladimirovich. And Maria Vladimirovna is the grand daughter of Kyrill Vladimirovich.
To be head of a familly is one thing.. but to be entitled to the throne is another. The last designated Tsar was Mikhail Alexandrovich. Designated by his older brother Nicolas II. Than Mikhael had the legitime power in his hand. And that same hand signed a document which is legal still today: That the next Tsar will be elected by the Duma or some other Russian elected house. That is the truth and therefore Russian can without any trouble elect the next Tsar. The first Romanov was anyhow elected.
It is question of technical matter and hobby about monarchy in Russia, this is also question about Poland, she and all have promised to bring them to 'Switzerland'.
could someone clevereer4 than me update on heir to throne as opposed to head of R family. I saw a programme perhaprs 7 to 10 years ago and the next in line and heir etc was a young male Romanov. Is there two camps, or has someone deceased ?????
you know what Princess Maria Wladimirovna, youre not considered as a princess at all bec first youre insecure and conceited. you do not got what it takes to be a Romanov. Althought youre educated Sorry i cant see that bec youre selfish.That all thank you and dont forget youre a trying hard Romanov wannabe thank you
I think it's wonderful that Russia is facing it's past head on. It was a tragic error killing the beautiful Royal family. They should have been allowed to leave the country unharmed. The murder of Romanov relatives was absolutely horrific also and uncalled for. Russia almost went completIy into the dark ages when they did this. Russia has a great future if they will embrace christianity again wholeheartedly and allow it's full and unhindered freedom. Chritianity is a preservative. .
@FinCups - Russia was in the dark ages under the tsar. Most of the people were illiterate and starving. A very small class of wealthy people stood over them at the very top of the food chain. Why in the hell do you think there was a revolution? Because you can push people too far. People risk their lives to fight in a revolution because they've got nothing to lose.
She reminds me of so many portraits and sketches of Ekaterina II later in life. I commend her for having dignity and being blunt about the situation entirely. It is obvious that she is not entirely comfortable with where she is, but she maintained her composure like the rest of her family.
She is an aweful public speaker. Are you sure she ever received formal education.. My God no wonder the Russians do not want this over weight hefer eating their food! Two weeks of food would put the country into econimic collapse!
I really think that Russia should became a modern Monarchy like Holland, Sweden, United Kingdom, Denmark or Spain...I think that should work better for them. Anyway I Love Russia, and whatever they want is the best! Greetings from Portugal!
I'm sure this woman is a lovely person. But I really don't get why the tsar's family are now considered saints. Because they were murdered? As far as I can see, they have no more claim to be saints than any murder victim.
While the concept of Sainthood may be disputed and debated, ultimately it is the sole province of the Russian Orthodox Church. The truly tragic aspect of the Romanovs is that the they WERE brutally murdered by the Criminal Bolshics who had criminally overthrown the Privisional government. It was not necessary to eliminate them in this way!
Why was it a criminal act to overthrow them? It seems to me it was an intensly moral act. To murder them? Well, to execute the tsar and his wife for war crimes seem reasonable to me. She had influence over him and was responsible for much of the horror. As for the children, yes I suppose it was innocent.
But, you can go too far with people. That is what the Russian royalty and nobility did with the Russian people. They brought it on themselves.
@PrinceAntonVoytek - While the Communists were in power, they did what the monarchy refused or was unable to do - bring Russia out of the middle ages into the modern era. Sorry, but it's true. As for heaven, well that's between God and them and doesn't have an awful lot to do with you.
@PrinceAntonVoytek - As you say "murder is still murder": Did the Cossacks distinguish between women, children and old men during the St Petersburg Massacre in 1905? After that the extremists had an open season. When their day came nothing was forgotten. The object of the revolution was not to replace monarchy with bolshevism. However, Nicholas' regime persecution of the moderates reduced them to a state of powerlessness. Hence, enter the extremists with the Kaiser's backing.
@PrinceAntonVoytek - The misfortune of the czar's family was brought about by non-christian bolshevics, and you refer to their action as cowardice. Was the massacre of the peaceful demonstrators outside the palace in 1905, an act of bravery? The murderers were representing the very christian czar. As you said: murder is murder. Yes the bolshevics failed in their aims. But their aims were not the aims of the real revolutionaries. With hindsight the latter succeeded in the end.
I am related to Count Fredericks, Minister of the Imperial Court of Tsar Nicholas II. Her Imperial Highness has not had the chance to speak very often and this is why she speaks as she does. She gets nervous just like anyone else. I am proud to be a part of the Imperial Family's household.
@BaronessAM it doesnt seems that she doesnt know what shes talking shes old enough and educated IM pretty sure she know what shes talking about -she is proud of herself and concieted shes trying hard wanna be Romanov. It seems she wants attention and recognition
she's not heir, heir is Nicholas Romanov. in our times Morganantic is normal. Besides, she is morganantic too (her mother-Bagrantion was not royal princess)
@graemeblackwood Not actually...She cannot be titled HIH, nor her father. She is a Grand Duchess by birth, and cannot be elevated by anyone, including her father. The Imperial Dynasty ended with Mikhail Alexandrovich. The exiled relatives are who they are. The family descendants do not need to interpret the Salic Law, for it ended when the dynasty ended.

Russia didn't revolt because of the "cruelty" of Nicholas II - that is pure Bolshevik propaganda. Class warfare propaganda used by radicals to discredit the royal family. It was this constant lying in the press and pamphlets that was the true cause of the revolution. Unfortunately, Nicholas II did not understand the concept of PR management. Nicholas got his revenge when Stalin arrested the intelligensia - "the useful idiots" and had them executed. Putin continues to eliminate journalists.
CanTexKev - No they did not revolt because of Nicholas' cruelty. They revolted because they wanted a democracy and Nicholas was dead against it. It was unfortunate that one of the political groups who wanted him out of the way were the Bolsheviks. Kerensky did not want him out of the way. He simply wanted him to become a constitutional monarch. For Nicholas to become like George V of Britain meant loosing face. Eventually he lost more than that. Still dictators refuse to learn from history.
aha, so you think that Rotschilds are innocent in this case, and Democracy is the best system... than why you have somany dumb people in the UK, just look at your soccer funs, I think even NAZIS have more humanity than Eastenders...
Madjarice - Where do the Rothschilds come in? I can not find their being mentioned in any of the comments. Could it be that you are making a lot of unnecessary assumptions? Don't you find that your comments and personal remarks deviate somehow from the theme of the video? Your improper comments and language invide other users to use the same language on you. Is that what you really want? Do you enjoy that?
Regarding the humanity of the Nazis you live in a country that experienced it first hand.
Hello Madjarise! I do not know to which of my comments you are responding. I can not recall ever mentioning the Rothschilds anywhere.
Also, you speak in the second person while assuming that I am British.
I take it that by soccer you mean football. I'll disappoint you but I do not even know the rules of football and do not approve of football hooligans. Certainly we do not have them in Polo which is my sport. Regarding East Enders, I do not know any but I can not follow your reasoning!
I've studied Russian Imperial history for 20 years and I must admit that "dpcepoba" is correct, Grand Duke Vladimir was considered a traitor by Nicholas II and most of the Imperial family at the time of the February 1917 revolution. This very act forfeited any claim he or his heirs would have. Also true, due to the Imperial decree of Tsar Paul I, a woman can not be Tsar. Otherwise Grand Duchess Olga would have made a fine ruler after her father made the mistake of abdicating.
you are false as are your current family. you have no claim to imperial Russia: your family are traitors and are self serving as always..and to present day Russia. You and your own are abominations to Russia.
Portugal, 1908: The King and Prince Royal are murdered, Republic ensues and degenerates into blood, bombings and fascism. Similar cases in Italy, Spain and Austria, the former caused 1st W.War. Russia should have known better.
Russia is a republic today but that doesn't take away the titles of people who were once the ruling family. This happens with every country where once a monarchy existed but is no more for whatever reason.
i know Russia is a republic,my point is being refered as "her royal highness"as if to say she has to be revered in some sort of way,i dont think the ordinary Russians would think of her as their soverign to be,the monarchy is gone as is communism
they do but when the imperial family was overthrown during the revolution a majority of the imperial family escaped to Europe and she is the current heir to the throne if it were restored, so they use their royal titles.
@JackDanielsFinest yes a Russian tsarina wannabe doest she know a lot of people are watching her I can see and sense whats shes after although she educated she is blinded.pity her
@JackDanielsFinest she a really Romanov wanna be doest she know a lot of people are watching i can see and sense that ahe wants recognition or attention that ahe doesnt deserve poor he hehe
Russia must be Empire again, but Russians people should be assured that Emperor by the supporter of Russian nation and the idea "Russia for Russian" ecomes its ideology. Nikolay II was the Russian patriot and nationalists were at war with communists many years, but
Democrats betraid Tsar. We Russian nationalists and patriots also as our ancestors are ready to support Empire.
What is exactly wrong with a constitutional monarchy? No one could claim Britain is not a democracy yet it retains the monarchy to separate its head of state (who is above politics; a symbol of its traditions and history) from its partisan leader of government (the Prime Minister). The President of the U.S. fulfills both roles. No one is suggesting the return of the Russian autocracy. Yet the return of the Russian monarchy in a constitutional form would be a great, unifying force in Russia.
Constitutional monarchy is fine if the people choose it. In Britain it is a success because monarchy and nation evolved together. It is also important that the monarch should be ethnically the same as the people. For example the monarchs imposed on the Greek people after their liberation from the Othomans were a divisive force for almost a century till they sent them where they came from!
But why should the Russians want a monarch again after all they went through because of him?
As already pointed out in this forum Britain evolved as a nation around a monarch! Thoughout the country's history the various monarchs were gradually cut down to size. John was forced to signed the Magna Charta. then there was a murder of one of the Edwards, and Richard III was killed in a rebellion. Charles I was executed, and James II had to run to France for his life. Eventually they learned how to become good civil servants. Nikolas, simply, wouldn't learn from history and paid for it!
ImperialLady - Why do you consider it "heartless" not to approve of monarchy? Are all citizens of the USA heartless? The same with the citizens of France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Finland, Greece .... etc.
Should we modify our Constitutions in order to accommodate a misguided and badly advised, servile and seriously troubled minority in need for masters?
Are you perhaps overlooking that the autocratic and tyrannical Romanovs were not approved of by the British Parliament and the Windsors?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I was obviously not referring to the support of monarchical regimes, so why exactly do you think I consider that heartless? Your rhetorical questions furthermore prove the outstandingly fallacious nature of your arguments. Just goes to show how illogical individuals like yourself can be.
ImperialLady - It is really confusing at times to follow an exchange of comments in these forums because one can never be sure who is responding to whom! Furthermore, the comment to which one responds is sometimes removed.
It is therefore not clear as to which one was the comment you found "heartless". Could you please oblige?
ImperialLady - My questions are not rhetorical. My arguments are not fallacious. Furthermore, regarding your "... how illogical individuals like you[me] can be" can only suggest that you are anxious to take an argumentum ad hominem stance rather than putting forward an objective point of view.
No, I am not illogical and you are a nice lady.
You are welcome to mail me a personal message as to what your position is if you wish.
Inspite of her being anxious to project herself as an "empress", not the slightest hint of an apology has been offered as regards the Romanov excesses which led the country in to seventy years of misery! The Russian people deserve better than these German halfcasts. They need them like a bad epidemic!
Putin has more Russian genes in his chromosomes than all these bloodthirsty monsters put together through the centuries.
Russia is a democracy today and as such is not afraid of free speech. The little fatty does not pose a threat to today's Russia. She is just good entertainment.
I am Greek and my ancestors conceived the idea of Democracy.
In the West school children are taught how Nikolas II treated the Russian people - as though they were his personal slaves. I have not heard this lady expressing the slightest regret for e.g. the massacre of the peaceful demonstrators outside the Winter Palace in January 22, 1905. Even the most popular of contemporary monarchs, George V, could not have survived such an atrocity.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The Greeks are also responsible for the creation of some of the most atrocious machines and implements of torture ever conceived of.
Additionally, before the alleged inception of democracy, those territories were governed by vicious divided tyrants, who took great pleasure in the suffering of those around them.
Every nation has their dark past, and their bright lights. There will always be 3 sides to every story, only one of which will be the truth. Read into history with a grain of salt.
RedWizard01 - What are your sources for these "... atrocious machines and implements of torture ..." conceived by the Greeks? Do you speak about Classical Greece? There was a law against torture in 5th century BC Athens.
Yes, Greece was divided into City States. But even in pre-classical Greece there were never absolute despots. Obviously tyrants were not well received and they were ousted by 6th century BC.
Note that "tyrant" (not a Hellenic word) did not have then the meaning it has today.
RedWizard02 - Could you perhaps be referring to the Eastern Romans (wrongly referred to as Byzantine Greeks)? None of their practices would have been endorsed by the ancient Greeks - either before or after Democracy was introduced.
You will find in Xenophon's (Hellenica) on the trials after the Peloponnesian War that certain Athenian Generals were called to answer charges for merely proposing methods of punishment, for prisoners of war, alien and unacceptable to Greeks.
RedWizard01 - Surely, most nations have some form of "dark past". But it just happens that in Russia it persisted in times of Parliamentary Democracy. Nikolas' monolithic and bloodyminded approach caused what followed. Don't you think that it is degrading for any human being to have a "know-all" like Nikolas, and later Stalin, decide for him or her?
As in today's Iran, the fact that the state is in total chaos does not justify the shah's bloodymindedness. We are still learning from revolutions!
what a UK grown Commie Gayreek cow you are suffering from UK made milk products caused Creutzfeld Jacob Syndrom in to your brain, If you miss Comrade Beloyannis so much go home and run to the firing squad of the current Greek police commando, at least the scene could be very enthusiastic and very Greek.. TZCH.... as you would say ;D very funny comment you left, its obvious you have no idea about Russia and the Russian soul, now I understand why mad cows like you burn Greece to dust nowadays....
Madjarice - Re: calling YouTube contributors "commie" "gay" and "mad" because they do not share your servile views on dictatorships:
It is noteworthy that E feels confident and secure enough without a need to broadcast her "qualifications" (?) in her profile page. From your reasoning and way you express yourself it is obvious that your "academic achievements" were obtained in the establishment where your mother worked - and where you were most probably born and learned to speak thus!
Epameinondas - Thanks, but I wouldn't bother. He/she seems to have enough problems as it is. A "doctor" making diagnosis via YouTube. Incidentally the wife of the former communist dictator Chauchescu decided that she was a doctor of sorts too - after she left school at 11. It seems that in the Eastern Block unless you specify that you are a "doctor" you stand no chance of going places.
how is your big greek drama keeping now? I am happy you been spent a look on the Eastern Block, what a pathetic Cold War terminology, I can imagine you as a milde mixture of Ronald Reagan and Andreas Papandreos, little bit of that and this, but the maint thintg for you to enjoy lifeon London STandards until you get Mad Cow desise from well prepared British made cows like yourself, well it would be nice to make some experimente on your painful breasts, ouch...
Madjarice:- You will find that many female compatriots of yours who have similar homosexual fantacies about young girls' breasts, emigrate to San Fernando Valley California, where there is a booming industry in the area of your interest. You may find a sympathetic producer who would overlook your age and sagginess and take you up.
This is a political forum. You can discuss your deviations in a forum where people like you share their sick fantacies.
T - O dear! I missed that comment. I don't think I would like a discussion on such level. For some reason she is verbally abusive towards Eurydike. Thanks for pointing it out. I'm not in to that!
The Slavic sad selfstyle "doktorka" is not only a multilinguist (see her profile) but also a cannylinguist and ready to use her cannylingual skills in the West.
Moreover, she claims in her profile that she is willing to "... learn learn learn ...". For a 31 year old goat she doesn't seem to have learned a lot. She does not even qualify for Omonia Square - owing to fierce competition from her much younger Slavic compatriots.
@epameinondas13 yes youre right she doesnt desreve to be a Romanov shes conscieted and proud of herself, and on top of that ugly you dont deserve to be a Romanov because the Romanov are good and from the way I see and hear and also from her personal research you really dont deserve to be a Romanov youre just trying hard wanna be
Madrice:- Coming from a country which is just now beginning to learn about Democracy, and how it works, it is hardly an indictment to criticize Greece for resisting authoritarian policies. You obviously come from a culture where it is socially acceptable for the police to shoot teenagers in the street.
Also, from this end, it is you who comes across as seriously disturbed by introducing issues such as, encephalitis, homosexuality, and communism in this forum. Still you call yourself a doctor.
Madjarice, while you are still learning how to come to grips with Democracy and free speech which for you are relatively new concepts, you should also learn how to cope with anonymity. In the West we do not shoot anyone with different views to ours; in the same way we do not make use of the anonymity of facilities such as YouTube in order to express vulgarity. At any rate I am glad you find our US-based YouTube service useful. Our Western values can not be taught overnight.
thanks for your hot entuhisastic comment with Cold War attitude, we dont need democracy, we need peace, prosperity.law and order, you can choak on your democratic demagogy if you like and if there is a need there will be civil war to finish democracy because w dont need it, thanks!!!
Miss/Mr/Mrs Madjarice - I can not understand what you are trying to say apart from needing peace. I shall come back as soon I finish my college essay in a few hours. Thanks for the response.
Dagmar - By "choak" she means choke. She is a cunny linguist - i.e. a cunnylinguist.
She claims to care for peace because Democracy does not satisfy her needs. On the first day of her country's liberation her sort were dragged in the central square of every town and had their heads shaven - ofcourse the daughters and granddaughters of those women today feel that their grandmothers ought to have been thanked for entertaining their German masters. She is way below your league and totally ignorant
Dagmar - What old Madjrice is trying to say is that she is happy in "peaceful" subservience and servility as long as her master provides her with nourishment to supplement her meagre diet. I found in my grandfather's diaries during her country's occupation that women in the district under his command used to queue every morning outside the German HQ to give information and "whatever in season" for a few cigarettes and biscuits. I have some film footage of them which I often show to my students.
Dagmar - Don't waste your time. Ofcourse you can't understant what he/she writes - only he/she can understand it. We had a Slovenian cook who was a "Gynaecologist" in the canteen of one of our branches. I almost believed her and asked her to help me with my biology during my school holiday. She didn't even know what DNA was.
This one can not even spell CreutzfeldtJakob disease. She/he also calls it a syndrome - and spells it "syndrom".
Madjarice - You describe yourself as a " Young Girl with multilingual skills" and
"Lot of languages on my tongue
Now: at 31 you are not a girl let alone a young one of the species. As regards to what you have on your tongue is not "lot of languages but something as despicable and vulgar as the words that come out of your mouth.
A real doktorka would not use CJD as an abusive term let alone against someone of her own sex and 11 years younger.
Madjarice:- "Doktorka", you shouldn't throw stones if you live in a glasshouse. Remember: Communism failed in Greece - even if it meant that the Greeks were forced to ally themselves with the hideous Glücksburgs. You are Slavo-Hungarian and come from a country that embraced Communism. Pretending to believe that others are "commies" is not an indication that you share our Western values - it is only an indication of weakness.
Also, calling a young girl "gay" says more about you than her!
kk - "doktorka" indeed. You can find Slavic doktorkas by the dozen at Omonia Square in Athens every evening after 10 - if you are prepared to touch them even with a toilet brush that is.
They all speak like the "doktorka" here. They are all cunning-linguists and some of them even learned how to use a flush toilet.
Why so much servility towards them after what the people of Russia suffered as a result of their recklessness?
Their bloodymindedness handed Russia to Communism! Haven't you learned anything from history?
The fact that Communism brought so much suffering, doesn't mean the Russia under the Romanov autocratic regime was a paradise. These people are parasites. Russia should be the last country on the planet to even consider bringing these drones back!
If you find a Romanov family tree, you will see yourself how much Russian the whole family was. Both Alexandra and Nikolas were directly related to Victoria - hence the problem with the czarevich!
However, even if they were Russian, the great people of Russia do not need unelected autocratic leaders of any kind - Bolsheviks or Tzarists. It is the same with the US. King George III was sent packing while Communism was never considered an alternative. What's wrong with Democracy?
What a complete load of rubbish. Her father, Vladimir, was one of the first to swear loyalty to the provisional government and celebrate the abdication of Nicholas II in 1917. Now they want to bring back the memory of Nicholas II. You have just got to laugh at the hypocrisy of these low class royals.
Of course! if it wasnt for the money they sure wouldnt do it because they care about the Russian people. These low class royals want everything western, want to speak english, french - and yet they call themselves Russian royalty.

So, she isnt a Romanov?, her Great great Grandfather was Alesandr II, her grandfather 1st cousin to the Tsar, 3rd in line to the throne, so how is she not royalty again? The Grand Duke Alexander , 10th in line to the throne wrote a chapter on her grandfather, read it, it might educate you.
Romanov or not, she is not as Russian as the average Russian walking in the street. Russia is a Democracy today! This is admirable after all that the country went through. So what if her grandfather was X and her grandmother Y? This shouldn't mean anything in a Democracy!
To be charitable, it is not just silly, but even unfair on these people to make them believe that they have a future in Russia. Russia is a great country with great people who are capable of Democratic decisions!
@btho5531 I couldnt agree with you more. The throne of Russia does not need descendants of traitors and greed on it...im sure they'll tarnish it. She cares nothing about the Russian people, culture, or Nicholas II's family she's in it all for money, fame, and the perks hoping she can inherit Nicholas's palaces, treasures, etc. I hope old Nick pops up from his grave and scares her out of her mind. Her family members were lying sacks of shit and traitors and they knew it.
Jack, yes indeed this is what you must drink. Do you understand Russia's Dynasty? I think not. All Romanov's after the revoltion with the exception of 3 supported Kiril. However, this support means nothing as Dynastic Law made Kirlil the Head of the Dynasty, Grand Duke Alexander spells it out in his book. Also, Leonida , her mother is Royalty, her nephew hiomself just married in Georgia, and is recognized has head of the Georgian House. I suggest you educate yourself vrag soupstat!!!
Naming and recognizing isn't that difficult anymore. Someone with money can buy any name for himself. They aren't Romanovs and they aren't people who understand Russians.
Thank you for your interesting interview of the Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna.

I do not mean to comment so much but I have strong opinions about this woman. 1, She is not an imperial 2. she is not an heiress and 3. she needs to quit while she's ahead. Maria Vladimirovna is only making a fool of herself and is using the last Tsar's family to boost her publicity which is quite sad. I seriously doubt this woman gives a damn about what happened in 1918 or the history of the dynasty..she is a fakeass Tsarina wannabe and isnt to be taken seriously her son is a Prince of Prussia

Maria Vladimirovna is NOT a Grand Duchess folks..she is a princess from what I've researched she shouldn't even be that. The senior members of the Imperial Family never recognized her grandfather Cyril as tsar. She is not an Imperial Highness but a Highness. Her mother Leonida Georgievna was not a royal but a noble. Her father was not even a Grand Duke he was born a Prince...that title was designated for children or grandchildren of the tsar which neither party were.

The monarchy should come back to Russia..but that country has a lot of cleaning up to do politically such as getting rid of Putin and Medvevlev. Putin is only using Medvevlev as a pawn for himself just or get back into the role of president and turning that country back into Communist times. BTW Maria Vladimirovna is not the head of the Russian Imperial House and the Pauline Law says so. Those who say she is do no understand the laws and from what I hear she is a very bitchy individual.

@MsTruNorth Surely you are joking! The Romanovs were in power from 1640. Don't you think that they came into many possessions over the centuries by a diversity of means? When they opened up Siberia, conquered Ukraine (Little Russia), the Caucasus region, they surely acquired possessions, so Nicholas inherited a great deal. That should be obviousl What did he do with it? That's worth investigating, if you are interested. The Imperial family was canonized as martyrs of the Reds.

I recall reading that Tsar Paul (1976-1801) introduced a Salic Law whereby women were excluded from the succession . Did this also outlaw succession through females?
Would this be taken to exclude Maria Vladimirovna's heirs from inheriting the throne? Or would circumstances, namely the Revolution etc, be said ot mitigate this law?

It is interesting to note that Salic law also governed the throne of Hanover, such that when Queen Victoria ascended to the throne of Great Britain and Ireland, she was not allowed to ascend the Hanoverian throne.

On a different note, post-revolutionary restoration happened in Britain after the death of Cromwell, but this is a rare example and we only have a constitutional monarchy now

Mikhail Alexandrovich was murdered in 1918, a few time before his brother Nicholas II. The Salic Law is clear: "When the Tsar dies, the closest relative in the male line to the Tsar will be the next Tsar". The closest male member to Mikhail Alexandrovich was Kyrill Vladimirovich. And Maria Vladimirovna is the grand daughter of Kyrill Vladimirovich.

Russia didn't revolt because of the "cruelty" of Nicholas II - that is pure Bolshevik propaganda. Class warfare propaganda used by radicals to discredit the royal family. It was this constant lying in the press and pamphlets that was the true cause of the revolution. Unfortunately, Nicholas II did not understand the concept of PR management. Nicholas got his revenge when Stalin arrested the intelligensia - "the useful idiots" and had them executed. Putin continues to eliminate journalists.

CanTexKev - No they did not revolt because of Nicholas' cruelty. They revolted because they wanted a democracy and Nicholas was dead against it. It was unfortunate that one of the political groups who wanted him out of the way were the Bolsheviks. Kerensky did not want him out of the way. He simply wanted him to become a constitutional monarch. For Nicholas to become like George V of Britain meant loosing face. Eventually he lost more than that. Still dictators refuse to learn from history.

I've studied Russian Imperial history for 20 years and I must admit that "dpcepoba" is correct, Grand Duke Vladimir was considered a traitor by Nicholas II and most of the Imperial family at the time of the February 1917 revolution. This very act forfeited any claim he or his heirs would have. Also true, due to the Imperial decree of Tsar Paul I, a woman can not be Tsar. Otherwise Grand Duchess Olga would have made a fine ruler after her father made the mistake of abdicating.

What is exactly wrong with a constitutional monarchy? No one could claim Britain is not a democracy yet it retains the monarchy to separate its head of state (who is above politics; a symbol of its traditions and history) from its partisan leader of government (the Prime Minister). The President of the U.S. fulfills both roles. No one is suggesting the return of the Russian autocracy. Yet the return of the Russian monarchy in a constitutional form would be a great, unifying force in Russia.

Constitutional monarchy is fine if the people choose it. In Britain it is a success because monarchy and nation evolved together. It is also important that the monarch should be ethnically the same as the people. For example the monarchs imposed on the Greek people after their liberation from the Othomans were a divisive force for almost a century till they sent them where they came from!
But why should the Russians want a monarch again after all they went through because of him?

As already pointed out in this forum Britain evolved as a nation around a monarch! Thoughout the country's history the various monarchs were gradually cut down to size. John was forced to signed the Magna Charta. then there was a murder of one of the Edwards, and Richard III was killed in a rebellion. Charles I was executed, and James II had to run to France for his life. Eventually they learned how to become good civil servants. Nikolas, simply, wouldn't learn from history and paid for it!

ImperialLady - It is really confusing at times to follow an exchange of comments in these forums because one can never be sure who is responding to whom! Furthermore, the comment to which one responds is sometimes removed.
It is therefore not clear as to which one was the comment you found "heartless". Could you please oblige?

ImperialLady - My questions are not rhetorical. My arguments are not fallacious. Furthermore, regarding your "... how illogical individuals like you[me] can be" can only suggest that you are anxious to take an argumentum ad hominem stance rather than putting forward an objective point of view.
No, I am not illogical and you are a nice lady.
You are welcome to mail me a personal message as to what your position is if you wish.

Inspite of her being anxious to project herself as an "empress", not the slightest hint of an apology has been offered as regards the Romanov excesses which led the country in to seventy years of misery! The Russian people deserve better than these German halfcasts. They need them like a bad epidemic!

Putin has more Russian genes in his chromosomes than all these bloodthirsty monsters put together through the centuries.
Russia is a democracy today and as such is not afraid of free speech. The little fatty does not pose a threat to today's Russia. She is just good entertainment.

I am Greek and my ancestors conceived the idea of Democracy.
In the West school children are taught how Nikolas II treated the Russian people - as though they were his personal slaves. I have not heard this lady expressing the slightest regret for e.g. the massacre of the peaceful demonstrators outside the Winter Palace in January 22, 1905. Even the most popular of contemporary monarchs, George V, could not have survived such an atrocity.

The Greeks are also responsible for the creation of some of the most atrocious machines and implements of torture ever conceived of.
Additionally, before the alleged inception of democracy, those territories were governed by vicious divided tyrants, who took great pleasure in the suffering of those around them.
Every nation has their dark past, and their bright lights. There will always be 3 sides to every story, only one of which will be the truth. Read into history with a grain of salt.

RedWizard01 - What are your sources for these "... atrocious machines and implements of torture ..." conceived by the Greeks? Do you speak about Classical Greece? There was a law against torture in 5th century BC Athens.
Yes, Greece was divided into City States. But even in pre-classical Greece there were never absolute despots. Obviously tyrants were not well received and they were ousted by 6th century BC.
Note that "tyrant" (not a Hellenic word) did not have then the meaning it has today.

RedWizard02 - Could you perhaps be referring to the Eastern Romans (wrongly referred to as Byzantine Greeks)? None of their practices would have been endorsed by the ancient Greeks - either before or after Democracy was introduced.
You will find in Xenophon's (Hellenica) on the trials after the Peloponnesian War that certain Athenian Generals were called to answer charges for merely proposing methods of punishment, for prisoners of war, alien and unacceptable to Greeks.

RedWizard01 - Surely, most nations have some form of "dark past". But it just happens that in Russia it persisted in times of Parliamentary Democracy. Nikolas' monolithic and bloodyminded approach caused what followed. Don't you think that it is degrading for any human being to have a "know-all" like Nikolas, and later Stalin, decide for him or her?
As in today's Iran, the fact that the state is in total chaos does not justify the shah's bloodymindedness. We are still learning from revolutions!

Epameinondas -
The Slavic sad selfstyle "doktorka" is not only a multilinguist (see her profile) but also a cannylinguist and ready to use her cannylingual skills in the West.
Moreover, she claims in her profile that she is willing to "... learn learn learn ...". For a 31 year old goat she doesn't seem to have learned a lot. She does not even qualify for Omonia Square - owing to fierce competition from her much younger Slavic compatriots.
Hope she had something to eat today.

Madrice:- Coming from a country which is just now beginning to learn about Democracy, and how it works, it is hardly an indictment to criticize Greece for resisting authoritarian policies. You obviously come from a culture where it is socially acceptable for the police to shoot teenagers in the street.
Also, from this end, it is you who comes across as seriously disturbed by introducing issues such as, encephalitis, homosexuality, and communism in this forum. Still you call yourself a doctor.
tzanabetys 2 years ago 21
Madjarice, while you are still learning how to come to grips with Democracy and free speech which for you are relatively new concepts, you should also learn how to cope with anonymity. In the West we do not shoot anyone with different views to ours; in the same way we do not make use of the anonymity of facilities such as YouTube in order to express vulgarity. At any rate I am glad you find our US-based YouTube service useful. Our Western values can not be taught overnight.

She claims to care for peace because Democracy does not satisfy her needs. On the first day of her country's liberation her sort were dragged in the central square of every town and had their heads shaven - ofcourse the daughters and granddaughters of those women today feel that their grandmothers ought to have been thanked for entertaining their German masters. She is way below your league and totally ignorant

Dagmar - What old Madjrice is trying to say is that she is happy in "peaceful" subservience and servility as long as her master provides her with nourishment to supplement her meagre diet. I found in my grandfather's diaries during her country's occupation that women in the district under his command used to queue every morning outside the German HQ to give information and "whatever in season" for a few cigarettes and biscuits. I have some film footage of them which I often show to my students.

Pretending to believe that others are "commies" is not an indication that you share our Western values - it is only an indication of weakness.

So, she isnt a Romanov?, her Great great Grandfather was Alesandr II, her grandfather 1st cousin to the Tsar, 3rd in line to the throne, so how is she not royalty again? The Grand Duke Alexander , 10th in line to the throne wrote a chapter on her grandfather, read it, it might educate you.

Romanov or not, she is not as Russian as the average Russian walking in the street. Russia is a Democracy today! This is admirable after all that the country went through. So what if her grandfather was X and her grandmother Y? This shouldn't mean anything in a Democracy!
To be charitable, it is not just silly, but even unfair on these people to make them believe that they have a future in Russia. Russia is a great country with great people who are capable of Democratic decisions!

Jack, yes indeed this is what you must drink. Do you understand Russia's Dynasty? I think not. All Romanov's after the revoltion with the exception of 3 supported Kiril. However, this support means nothing as Dynastic Law made Kirlil the Head of the Dynasty, Grand Duke Alexander spells it out in his book. Also, Leonida , her mother is Royalty, her nephew hiomself just married in Georgia, and is recognized has head of the Georgian House. I suggest you educate yourself vrag soupstat!!!
