Romanov and Bulgaria

Grand Duke Alexis:


George Pavlovich:

Those pictures of 'Eleanora Albertovna' are surely pictures of Anna Anderson doing her usual lip-biting pose.

This is the web site I got them from: www.russianking.hit.bg

[Holly]

Like Georgiy said, those pictures are of Anna Anderson, not whoever that other impostor is. You can find them in Peter Kurth's book, "Anastasia: The Riddle Of Anna Anderson."

It's very very very highly unlikely that this Eleanora Albertovna is any of OTMA or a Romanov. Neither of them look anything like who they pretend to be and don't you think that if they really were who they say they were that everyone would see the resemblence?

[boyar]

The thing is that they both NEVER EVER claimed to be Anastasia or Alexis. They claimed to be Polish Aristocrats. They did everything possible to not be associated with Russia.

[RealAnastasia]

Yes...These photos are of Anna Anderson. Where did you find that these were of Eleonora Albertovna?

RealAnastasia.

So...then if they never ever claimed to be Anastasia or Alexei, did not want to be associated with Russia, and claimed to be Polish aristocrats...why are you saying they could have been..

[boyar]

Because everything adds together. They were hiding in Bulgaria with the help of other loyal Russians. If you go bank and read the articles I posted you will find how everything fits like a passel.

Of course we are. Just like some people are still on about Anna Anderson. They don't want to face the truth. Boyar, let's see the DNA results then.

Well Holly,
if these were any DNA teats there was not going to be an argument.
Prince Dimitri Romanov visited Bulgaria in 2003. He was asked by journalists if he had heard the story of the Bulgarian Anastasia and he said yes, he is familiar with the story. However, when asked about a DNA test to be performed on the bodies he said that he believes the tactual Anastasia died in 1918 and her body is somewhere near where the bodies of the rest of the families were found. I think he does not want to go deep into this story. He is obviously familiar with something the rest of us  do not know.

Well wouldn't that make ALL the romanovs know?
I actually do think Nastya died in 1918 it is amazing if you have a relative that was alive then and is still living!( I do)
Plus I think Olga A.  did not think it was her. because anastasia was her favorite neice which Olga would take her an watch over her

Prince Dimitri Romanov was visiting Bulgaria in March 2003 during the celebrations of the Bulgarian liberation from an Ottoman rule. He was a guest of Tsar Simeon II. He told the press how he was told by his parents about Bulgaria. His parents visited Bulgarian and attended Orthodox Church here. He said he knows about the story of the “Bulgarian Anastasia”. When he was asked if he can assist in the performance of a DNA test he said that he believes that Grand Duchess Anastasia actually died in Russia in 1918 and her body is somewhere close to where the other bodies were found. This makes me think that even his parents Prince Roman Petrovich of Russia and Countess Praskovia Dmitrievna Sheremetev knew for this Bulgarian theory. Who knows maybe they even visited Eleonora in Bulgaria. Dimitri Romanov said that his parents were very happy to attend Orthodox Mass in an Orthodox country. He never said which parts of Bulgaria they visited.

This is Prince Dimitri Romanov:

I too have read the Bulgarian Radio article and it appears from the information supplied in this article that Countess Nora made no specific claim that she was GD Anastasia. The photo supplied in this article that you have reproduced here does have some similarity with her though - its not so much the facial features its more the fact that there is a general luminosity about the photo that is missing in some of the Anna Anderson pictures.

That luminosity is clearly seen in a lot the Romanov pictures. This may be attributable to the fact that some of the Romanov pictures are likely to be studio produced but even in some of the photos attributed to be taken by the Romanov family of each other - this lumious quality that the Grand Duchesses had is clearly evident. It is something that always puzzled me about pictures of Anna Anderson because although there is a similarity there - this luminious quality is missing.

I find this story the most interesting, I dont believe the survivor myths, but If a Romanov had, I believe their fate would have been very similar to this.
