What are Maria Vladimirovna and her son doing?

[Alixz]

There is a great explanation of the Pauline and Saelic laws of succession in Queen Victoria's Descendants by Marlene A. Eilers.

It is in the chapter devoted to Prince Alfred.  This is through Victoria Melita and Kyrill, of course.

According to Ms. Eilers,  GD Marie and her son GD George Mikhailoich are indeed eligible and next in line.

Maria Vladimirovna announced 08.09.05 that she and whole dynasty are moving to Russia from Madrid, where they have been living. Cecarevich Georgi Mikhailovich is now learning in the Military Academy of the Russian Head Staff (Generalnaja Shtaba). Georgi Mikhailovich will be the next Csar of Russia, of course without any political power. President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin announced in the beginning of september not to candide for third periode at 2008, becouse at that time there is no more such a institution in Russia as presidency. Vladimir Vladimirovich  is going to serve Imperial Russia forward as prime minister.

indeed!
Where did you get this information?
I just hope it's not true...

[David_Pritchard]

I spent a hour last night and an hour the night before reading the political sections of a number of Russian news services. No mention or innuendo that Vladimir Putin was going to become the Prime Minister of the Russian Empire. Surely Russia changing its form of government would be front page news, not only in Russia but in every other country. This news about the new Russian Empire must be fantasy or rumour.

Odd. I mentioned this bit of "news" this morning to my friend in Saint Petersburg. He had not heard of it either.
Without a source, I would tend to dis-believe it myself.

Tatia,
What are your sources? I think this would be big news if it were true and we would have heard it. But no one has. It would be helpful if you could give a a link or reference so we can check this out.

I quoted dobrinin, and I was also asking where he got that information

[Lucien]

Maybe dobrinin referred to this article

http://www.courrierinternational.com/article.asp?obj_id=54976&provenance=europe&bloc=15

I just saw that headline,but have not subscribed so can't read it.Anyone?

Maria Vladimirovna participated the All-Russian meeting of the Cossacks in the beginning of september. She herself told then, that imperial dynasty is going to move back to Russia. News were widely published in Russian and East-European press. By the way, Grand Duchess Maria, her mother Leonida Georgieyevna and her son are all Russian citizens. Possibly, that they have doubled it with Spanish citizenship.
  In same newspapers I quoted announced the chancellor of the Imperial House in Moscow, Aleksander Zakatov, that Russia is moving to the renewing of czarism. Of course the future czar is not going to have any political power, but his role is maintain Russian traditions and work for unity of the Russia.
  Same time, and possibly not by chance assured president Putin, that he is not going to canditete for third period, when the time of his presidency runs out 2007. "But I"m not leaving Russia or Russian politics", he said.

That the imperial dynasty is going back, I don't mind so much, as long as it's not her! I don't think she or her son are Heirs of the Russian throne, there are better 'candidates' in my opinion.

But I don't if Russia really wants a monarchy? Maybe they can hold a referendum among the Russian citizens.

Tatia,

Who is your choice to sit on the Imperial Throne of all the Russias as a Constitutional Monarch and why?  Are you Russian?

My choice is not one particular person, but if they are going to reinstall the Imperial house at all, then I would say someone closer to Nicholas II, like the descendants of Xenia or Olga Alexandrovna. And I personally wouldn't mind if it would be one of GD Dmitri Pavlovich's grandchildren .
The reason is just that these people are closer to the latest Tsar (and maybe because I don't like Maria Vladimirovna, I don't know why, but I don't think her 'claims' to the throne are right).

And I'm Dutch

That website is still not available in English, do you have another source?

Honestly, I can't imagine why ANYBODY is still abiding by these rules and claiming to be the heir to a throne that exists in their imagination. The Romanovs will never be restored to the throne of Russia. The Russian Revolution happened for a reason. Just let it be.
