The hundred year mark felt like a circle maybe elliptical where OTMA seemed closer, more right there, like it came around. Now that the century mark since their murder has slipped away, I wonder if those girls may start to fade in the distance or is it those deer in the headlights photos that will always keep them immediate. It seems their murder was the one murder that plunged poor Russia into a 100 year dark ages. Like how Jesus' crucifixion was the one crucifixion of lasting significance. Now at the Century mark, what will happen? Dark ages for the rest of us is what it feels like is what is happening though I hope not.
