Thank you kindly Belochka for offering this statement. It's hard for many to understand who are and not personally or had relatives who went through these issues. Thank God only a portion of the world had to experience the 'red terror'. Outside of these boards, or reading historical offerings, or first person interviews, it still is not enough for the world to comprehend the excessive horrors of those long years of hell.
Yes, the difficult parts were not only imprisonment, but can anyone here truly understand what it means to remain stateless forever, w/o identity, in exile ?
Thank you again for helping to maintain and keep the flame alive in rememberance of all whom were continually plauged [as well countless millions murdered]by all that the red terror forced on so many lives, all ages. It is the least we can offer in remembrance to them, and to make sure the world never forgets.

--- Quote ---Nobility who were not "high ranking" also lost their lives with the encroachment of red terror. It is not fair to isolate one group above the others who could also claim nobility.
Let us not forget those who were imprisoned and forced to remain as stateless citizens for the rest of their lives until they died without their their identity, not in exile, but placed into exile.
It was a slower more agonizing death.

I agree with you totally Tatiana. That is the reason I will be continuing my research into the noble victims of the Communists. If there is no place to see their names and remember them, then they and the crimes perpetrated against them will be forgotten.

There were also the two Princes Wiazemsky( brothers of Princess Lydia Wassiltchikoff)one Boris was murdered by the peasants on his estate the other Dimitri was shot. Their widows,mother and younger brother all escaped. There was also Princess Bariantinsky( nee Countess Stenbock-Femor) who was shot with her daughter and son-in-law in the Crimea.Then there was Prince Doulgoruky who was shot in Moscow just as his brother (the Tsar's aide de camp,Prince Vassily was shot in Siberia).There were of course many,many more.....
