Alexandra Feodorovna / Re: Alexandra - the Abdication and the Family's Downfall

« on: January 10, 2005, 10:24:02 AM »

The common Russian people did not know Alexandra but how many people know about their kings and queens.  Almost none, that is because kings and queens do not associate with common people and that is why most people consider their rulers to  be tryants or misunderstand them.  That is exactly what happened with Alexandra, her people did not know her.  She was a good woman but yet she was misunderstood.  If Alexie's condition was known to the general public they would have understood her and definitely supported her.

Tsarevich Alexei Nicholaievich / Re: Alexei and Hemophilia

I have often wondered how he felt about his disease.  I mean as he grew older he must have felt depressed because he knew he could not have a normal life.  I mean he could not play like a normal teenager.  Keeping in mind that his life was going to be short because of the disease.  And he would never be Tsar.  Did he think about these things? I know that Alexandra really protected him but still a person cannot ignore all this.  Please share your opinions.

The Myth and Legends of Survivors / Re: Anna Anderson and Anastasia

« on: April 20, 2004, 10:18:32 AM »

Ok if Anna Anderson was not Anastasia how come she knew about that trip her uncle Grand Duke Ernst of Hesse made to Russia in 1916 when his country and Russia were at war.  So how did she know this? Who told her?  I mean i am sure she did not read this in a book.  She had to be there to know this.  I know what the DNA report says and in view of that report Anna Anderson was not Anastasia.  

Well it is sad to see Anna Anderson because it seems that she was not a normal person and was very disturbed.  I truly hope from my heart that Anastasia survived and lived a complete life because it somehow lessens the tradegy.

What sort of a woman was Princess Anne?  She died at a young age.  How did her death effect Alexandra? Did her serious nature come because of her mother's death?

Having Fun! / Re: Who's your Favorite Romanov???

« on: April 07, 2004, 04:04:50 AM »

I think it would have to be Maria the Dowager Empress.  She has always interested me because of the Anastasia mystery and also because she is considered to be the most tragic figure of history.  I can understand that because she lost all her family her sons and her grandchildren.  how she survived all that? She i think was a very interesting woman.  I admire her strength and personality.

Films and TV shows about the Romanovs and Imperial Russia / Anastasia: The Mystery of Anna - Amy Irving

« on: March 10, 2004, 10:23:40 AM »

In this mini tv series (Anastasia: the mystery of anna) a lot of claims have been made such as that Anna Anderson met Cyril and she was accompained by Prince Erich and her lawyer.  And Prince Erich was in love with Anna Anderson who he thought was Anastasia. The role of Dowager Empress Maria was played by Olivia De Havilland.  How accurate was this film?
