Romanov and Bulgaria

[Holly]

I think only a mod can move it. Obviously they haven't been looking at the boards very often.
Anastasia didn't know German very well at all.

If you want to prove that Nora was not Anastasia you should say:

Anastasia did not speak German at all.

How many people do you think knew German in Bulgaria in the 1920‘s and especially in a small village? Compared to them she was practically fluent in German. Compared to a German she barely knew the language. She thought German to small Bulgarian children, not German children. Nora was teaching German and piano from her own home, she was not a teacher in the local school.

Anastasia did not speak German at all.

Wasn't German one of the languages the Imperial children took, and stopped in 1914 because of the war with Germany?

Anastasia did speak German but the girls were not very good at it.  Alexandra taught Tatiana some German during their imprisonment in Tobolsk.  One of the things someone (I think Kobylinsky) rememered about Olga was that her English was perfect but her German was awful.

Oh well.  They all died.  Get over it, peeps!  

[Holly]

Oh well.  They all died.  Get over it, peeps!  

Wouldn't expect that kind of comment about OTMA from you Lanie.  

[Lanie]

Holly, I'm kidding.  The fact that people whine and whine about how X must have survived is getting really obnoxious because we all know they all died.  People need to get over it and use their noodles.

And other people need to open their minds.

The fact that there are people who do not want to believe what I am saying is there problem. So far I have just stated the facts and nothing but the facts. All the peaces fit together. And so far nobody can bring anything to disprove it.

And its also a fact that only the bodies of Tsar Nicholas II, Tsarina Alexandra, Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana and Maria were reburied at the end of the 1990’s. With the bodies of Grand Duchess Anastasia and Tsarevich Alexis never been found.

Sorry about that Lanie,  I didn't realize you weren't serious!  

Popov, it gets really frustrating when people continue to ignore the fact that AA was proved NOT TO BE AN by DNA. They only care about the fantasies and folk-lore and never care to think that MAYBE AA wasn't was just the compulsive liar that she was. She doesn't even LOOK like Anastasia! All the experts I know say it would have been very unlikely for someone to have survived something like this. The amount of damage done to the bodies themselves show this. Anastasia and Alexei were only buried seperatley. Don't say we don't have open minds, we are only being realistic.

I understand that you are trying to be realistic. I myself do not understand why if Nora was Anastasia came to Bulgaria and not Denmark where her grandmother was living.

I have never said that Anna Anderson was Grand Duchess Anastasia. I am talking about Countess Eleonora Albertov Krueger, aka Nora.

No one could agree on which other bodies were found.  Only Olga wsa identified by both teams.  So therefore we do NOT know which daughter is missing.  So that's not a fact.

However, it is a fact that two bodies are missing.

[Holly]

Exactly! But that doesn't mean that they survived!  

[grandduchess_42]

i agree with holly here. just because they are missing doesnt mean that they were alive. they could have been moved because a soldger took pity and hid them, after she was dead.

You are right, it does not prove that they were alive. And even today in 2006 their bodies have not been found anywhere in Russia. This gives the store about their survival more and more credability.

[Robby]

Although I believe a bit in the Granny Alina claimant, I also think that the other bodies may have been buried elsewhere.
