I was also wondering where the time limit came from. Is that the next time elections come up or something? Anyway, it's very unlikely that Russians would want an Englishman upon the throne, even if he was married to a Romanov (who herself may or may not be a Russian). As for the topic, I think it would be better suited for the "Windsor" thread, or maybe the "Imperial Succession and the Throne" thread. This one is for discussing the Alexander Palace.
