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 ! { : )

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!

@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.

[FRAGIORGIO1]

@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 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.

[MsTruNorth]

@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.

Thank you for your interesting interview of the Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna.

[FRAGIORGIO1]

@MsTruNorth As Tsar, Nicholas had great holdings and means of income. You seem to be intent on class warfare and putting down the Orthodox Church.

@Strefanasha The imperial family can remake the law that the crazy and hated Tsar Paul decided, after all Russia had some outstanding empresses.

[FRAGIORGIO1]

@Armando7214 The Salic Law was a German institution! What of Empresses like Elizabeth, Anna, Catherine I and II ??? --Look at Russian history !

@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.

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
