New One

[Robert_Hall]

Greg King also mentions  Prince Vladimir Orlov in The Court of the Last Tsar pgs 111 & 271.
 He was a favourite of Nicholas and achieved high military rank. He also set up the Imperial garage.  He fell out of Alexandra's favour because of his opposition to Rasputin.

Thanks for the information on Orlov, Alixz.

Robert, he is very, very real! I got about four messages before I sent a lengthy response in the hopes he would be stumped and wouldn't send me any more. Haven't heard back yet. The username is 1toscany, though he has no uploads.

[Robert_Hall]

Thanks, Holly, I shall look out for him. I was not doubting you, just this fool's genuineness. That is, he could be a put-on.

This guy seriously needs a reality check.

I tried a google search for "1toscany" and got quite a few hits. On his Channel (see link below), he claims to be a 56-year-old historian from Miami.

He has posted a number of photos on Photobucket, including his parents (last name Romanov, of course).

He posted a comment on a YouTube video called anna anderson video trial NWC, repeating some of the claims in the emails he sent you.

The "Recent Activity" on his Channel reflects an interest in young male bodybuilders with bare chests. Possibly research for a study of Russian bodybuilding history???

Hahaha, yes, we can only hope so.

That's interesting that he put his parents' last name as Romanov. He never notified me that he was a Romanov himself. How exciting!

If his messages were shorter and there weren't more than two replies I probably would've suspected he wasn't being serious but one was so long that I couldn't even bring myself to read it all. At one point he stated that he told his princess friends about my replies and they were laughing at my ignorance.

  Re "billmcl2" and your post #49:  Possibly I am flying rather "blind" here (if so, I stand to be corrected), but due to some rather striking similiarities, I believe that IMO "1toscany" is, and has been, a member of this APTMF for some time, appearing somewhat often at times under what I take to be his real name, which is his perogative.  
  As for the word/name "toscany," I believe that there was at least one short discussion/comment of (the somewhat unusual name) "toscany" versus "Tuscany."     Regards,   AP.

[Robert_Hall]

The same thoughts occured to me as well, AP.  I was thinking some of these so-called "claims" sounded a bit familiar.
 And, if he wants  "young male body builders" he can certainly find them in Florida, especially Miami Beach !

He labels the photo of his parents as EmmanuelRomanov so I assumed that one of his parents was born a Romanov. (2nd page of google search, posted on Photobucket) It would be interesting to find out if he believes he's another descendent of Anastasia.

I'm also wondering if all these German princesses he knows are living in Miami, too. Maybe they hang out with those bare-chested Russian bodybuilders!

1toscany also comes up frequently as an address in google searches so I'm wondering if it has something to do with where he lives?

[Robert_Hall]

The only  "princesses" in  Miami that I know of are certainly NOT German. There are plenty of queens, though.

[aleksandr pavlovich]

 Referencing Reply # 54:  Lives in Tuscany (Italy)?  No, far from it, I feel certain.   AP.

[Robert_Hall]

I thought I saw mention of Florida, perhaps  Orlando ? Hence my sarcastic comment.

[aleksandr pavlovich]

I have gone back to the video-clip presentation, billmcl2/Robert, and from that (information about the poster) confirmed my thoughts on the ID of the "New One."  I have openly exchanged posts with him here sometime back (through not on the immediate topic at hand), and found him to be nothing but civil, polite, and coherent in his communications to me.  But as the Americans say: "I have no dog in this fight," and thus having now satisfied my curiosity and with your kind understanding, I'll quitely refrain from further comments.    Best regards to you both,  AP.

Hi Robert,

All the "princesses"  and more 'queens' than you could shake a stick at, were in "La Cage Aux Folle";  and Nathon Lane was their idol...
Nary a one called 'Romanov' ---
That's my sarcastic comment for this thread and also, I, am leaving this thread now too!!
