Hello, people!:
I had promised to myself to never mix up in a new discussion here, since I was a little tired of reading I was a nut, I had delusion about claimants , I was a romantic and so on. I was on Anna Anderson's side and everyone knows it at the board, at least, the old members. But I think it's the moment to popping out again
and state my position.
Foreign books are too expensive for me to purchase right now, but when I could read read the last Penny and Greg's work I'm almost sure I will be convinced about AA being FS.I said it for I read the messages of people who was very reluctant to accept AA as FS, just like myself and they all saids that all their questions have been answered.If a so inquisitive mind as Bear accepted it , I think the case is now closed. I've once said that IF all the answers I had were answered by documents, I'll change my mind, and IF this book does, I sure will. The fact that AA wasn't Anastasia doesn't avoid my own life to go ahead (as I've said a lot of times to). In fact (another thing I used to say over and over), this ending of all the family of the Tsar at the same time in the basement of Ypatiev House, destroyed by a group of bloody revolutionaries fits much better with my own political ideas than an Anastasia hypothetical surviving. That's the reason for the explanation Helen gives us about "people wanting her to be Anastasia" doesn't works in my case. I DIDN'T want Anna Anderson being Anastasia. I'd rather like her being killed along with her family. It was more "romantic" than a traumatic surviving of a poor girl denied by her own family, always alone and struggling to have her own identity. This is not my idea of romanticism. The problem was the first time I saw AA's pic in a newspaper, along with a picture of Anastasia. My eyes went wide open and I say to myself: "Heck! But it is she!" . And since this very moment, I became AA's supporter, even before reading Peter Kurth's book. Even now it's hard to me not to see Anastasia into this woman eyes...I struggled for years with my wanting of GD Anastasia dying along with her family and what my eyes would see every time that someone published a pic of her. I didn't want AA to be Anastasia, but my eyes would said otherwise.
Then, I read Blair Lovell's and Kurth's books and I become 100% certain about AA being ANR.I didn't know how much evidence was in her favor, so, if before I was almost certain of AA being ANR, now I was able to kill myself before accepting she was FS, a person who was depicted as the exact opposite of AA herself.DNA must be lying. Even friends of mine who are scientist said me it was possible to fake it (and I still believe it, even if AA turned to be FS). I was also told that her accent was not Polish at all but Russian ) (a friend of mine who is Polish said me so), and that FS pics were heavily retouched. The people who said me these things were not connected in any way with the x case and didn't care a bit for someone being Anastasia or not. So, when Penny and Greg informed that they were working in a new book about claimants I never imagined they will discover that AA was really FS. For me, I repeat it, it's a very unexpected solution to the case.
It seems that, after all, I could breath again. Anastasia seems to have died with her beloved family and didn't suffer all the cruelties she must have if AA had turned to be her. Aunt Olga was not a bad woman. I was very saddened all the time I believed in AA's claim, for I couldn't understand WHY a so good woman I liked very much was able to do that to her beloved Malenkaya. This was one of the things that bothered me terribly about this case....
Merry Christmas to you all!!!
RealAnastasia.
