Claimants of Tsarevich Alexei Nikolaevich

[etonexile]

Claimants always emerge when history creates uncertainty.

To honor the Tsesarevich, the best we can all do here is ignore the late Tammet's proxy assertions, for it is publicity Mr Kendrick seeks.

At least FS/AA bore a vague resemblance to AN....HT looked "NOTHING"...as in...not-at-ALL....zero...zilch...nada....like Alexei Nicholaiovitch...a small matter,I know....Oh,yes...they were both European, white ,males...I forgot that staggering similarity....

"Oh,yes...they were both European, white ,males...I forgot that staggering similarity.... "

Ok, isn't that ENOUGH?  what MORE do you WANT?  

[AGRBear]

Since Alexei's body has not been found, we do not know what happen to Alexei.

If Alexei did survive and lived into his twenties, he might well have had a child.

If this is true, don't you think if a claimant came along who really was Alexei's son, that he has every right to make this claim?

Do not not slam the doors shut in every claimants face unless you know the fate of Alexei.

Until then,  all of us should keep an open mind, or, as we say in Bear territory, don't climb into that silly old box where too many others are there pretending  everything is solved and there is nothing else to learn and know and ponder.

But....but....but....it's a NICE box!  It eliminates all concern and confusion!  It makes everything so CLEAR!  And we get to avoid all of that nasty intellectual thought-process stuff when we're on it!

[Lass]

Good point, Bear, though others clearly disagree.

[etonexile]

I respect the Bear the more I know her....I don't often agree with her....but few have her integrity and ....class....

[rskkiya]

Ahh
but what does dear Teddy think?

Well Agrbear, I don't think it at all likely that Alexie didn't suffer from Hemophilia and I do think it very VERY unlikely that he wasn't executed -- but how many more extream possibilities are we to accept? That he was not executed? That he was magiked away to a secret location to heal of his wounds...(Avalon? The Last Homely House? Shangra La?)

The thread of rational plausibility is getting awfully thin....Herr XXX --- does he know?

[Finelly]

Well, for sure not Shangri La.  I stayed at the Shangri La in Mexico and there was definately no sign of Alexei.

I have been studying in amazement the face of Heino Tammet and the face of Alexei and I see NO similarities. I dont know where some people get the notion they could be one and the same. They have no similarities apart from the fact they are white and male.

I have said it on another thread and I will say it again, why cant claimants at least look like the people they are pretending to be??
And my other point, it is disgusting to the memory of the Imperial Family that strangers impersonate their poor slaughtered children constantly.

I wonder if Mr. tammet had any scars around the ear area. Wasn't Alexei shot once,maybe twice at almost point blank range? If this didnt blow part of his head off (sorry for being graphic) it would surely have left a scar of some sort.

I don't know about scars, but he was deaf in one ear, the claim is that is was the result of the gun going off that close to his ear.

[Finelly]

PinkLady, my dear.  What a SILLY request!  I would remind you and refer you back to the "Imperial Claimants"board that actually RESEMBLING the person you claim to be is a sure sign that you are a FRAUD!

<sheesh!>

[etonexile]

Do any of you ever get those e-mails...often from Nigeria...telling you that they will give you millions if you give them the use of your bank account....erm....yes...it is not always the best policy to trust those who tell a jolly tale....which is how Teddy came to own the deed to the Brooklyn Bridge....

[pinklady]

Dear Eton in Exile and Teddy
If it is good enough for you to have a friend, I shall have one too.
From now on it is Pinklady and Dolly.
There.
I feel much cosier and like I have a friend too.
PS Finnelly, how silly of me, of course your right dear

[etonexile]

Dearest Pinklady and Dolly'

How most topping fine to have friends with friends...Teddy thinks we should all get together at some point....perhaps for tea in the garden....and then maybe drinks at the "Marmot and Petard"...our local

I told Teddy that you might not be one for hard drink...though I can't speak for Dolly....
