Romanov and Bulgaria

[popov_2000]

I respect the fact that you do not believe that this is her. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. The man who reviled that he took Anastasia and Alexis from Russia was in a Balchik hospital. Just before he died he only said that in Bulgaria there are two important graves for the Russian. Also there were a fourth Russian who later came to Bulgaria and began living with them. He later left them and began working in the French embassy in Sofia. In order to work for the French embassy someone would have to know perfect French and have diplomatic skills. Now why would a Russian man who escaped the Reds come to Bulgaria and live in a small village instead of going straight to France and making a career and a good living. Was he in Bulgaria because he was protecting something. And how many Russian in the 20’s and 30’s knew perfect French and had diplomatic skills - little. Most of them were peasants and workers. Only someone form the Royal circles and the government can know this. And finally Blagoi Emanuilov is dig the graves and removed the bodies. Currently the bodies and kept in an unknown location. The man is working on a way for a DNA test to be carried. But that’s just the fact. You believe in what you want. it’s a free world. At least in most of it. HAHAHAH

Question? Does anyone know anyone in a major police department with a police artist in their city or country. Don't many of these specialized artists have talents whereby they can with a special machine, advance the face from a child on to advance age(s) so one may see the progression of the face in years to come ?

Sometimes this is used to help make confusion lesser of the person in question as to their identity.

Thank you in advance if anyone can gain this connect, and share with us the outcome of the police artist's sketche's, information, etc.

I have thought alot about getting OTMAA's faces aged before. But, I can't think of how we could do it.  :-/

This "Bulgarian Countess" looks nothing like Anastasia. Completely different. Anastasia had a very distinct face. And you would think that when she grew up she would at least look a LITTLE bit the same!!! Everything about her face is different. If she really was Anastasia, don't you think we would all recognize her at once? Until they get a DNA test, you can believe whatever you like...

[popov_2000]

It is possible that she is Anastasia, it is also possible that she is not. There are people in Bulgaria truing everything to get a DBA test of the bodies, however they do not have the money. In the begging of the 1990’s they wanted the test to be made by Cambridge University, in the late 1990’s they wanted the test to be done in Florida, however both times unsuccessfully. To me both pictures look a lot the same. To different people they may look different and I understand that. It will be funny as hell if it is proven that she is the same person and no one can recognize her. ;-}

The comparison that was already made was done between two pictures. One picture of Anastasia when she was 15 and another of “Anastasia” when she was 35. It is based on the shape of the face, the form and length of the nose, the lips and the eyes. The comparison was made by Dencho Todorov.

Thanks for the info Popov. It would be funny if she was Anastasia and none of us recognized her!

There is another interesting thing. Nora loved and had many dogs. The name of one of her dogs was Maron. Maron is very unusual name for Bulgaria. If you rearrange the letters is spells Roman, short for Romanov.

Woah! That is weird!  

[matushka]

Perhaps! But for example in French, the word "marron" means "brown". We can imagine that "lady Nora" knew French, which is very plausible is she was someone of the "good society", polish or russian, and that the dog was just brown.......

[calebGmoney]

Wow. I've never even heard of this woman, and her nose looks like Marsha Brady's after the football hit her in the nose.

The dog was Cocker Spaniel.

Nora would teach the local children German. The teachers from the school did not like that. If they found a student taking a private lessons he would be punished. I guess the teachers did not like the competition. Nora told the students that this was the language of her mother. So apparently her mother was German. Just like Tsarina Alexandra.

Right, because Anastasia was so fluent in German that she could teach it to others.

Doesn't this thread belong in the survivors section and not this one?

We are talking about the 1920’s in a small Bulgarian village. Compared to the locals she was something they never knew before. There were no other people in this village speaking any other language then Bulgarian. Except for the Russian immigrants who came right after Nora. Nora would give language and piano lessons. She loved to paint and even gave one of her painting to a local woman. She would also loved to needle goblens. She tore one of her dresses so the local woman can make goblens. She told them never to forget that this was a Royal dress. Probably a court dress.
