    There is a monument in St Petersburg showing Lincoln and the Russian tzar. The handshake symbolises American gratitude for the support during the civil war. How many Americans know of this? - One in a million?

    Naturally those who suffered most were the ones who lost most the aristocrats and top bourgeoisie and intelligentia....those who did not have anything much in Russia had nothing much in exile and thus suffered less. The author does not understand what it is like to suffer such injustice and calamitous destiny....

    I assume Nicholas refused permission for Michael to marry 'Baby Bea' because her sister - Victoria Melita - had divorced Alexandra Feodorovna's brother and married (without permission) Grand Duke Kiril. I wonder how differently it would have panned out if they have accepted the relationship, and there had been a healthy male heir from Michael and Baby Bea. Maybe not different at all - there were so many other factors involved. But the way Nicholas and Alexandra cut themselves off from ALL sources of support, including their own family, is striking.

    They say that an acceptable amount of birchbark letters have been discovered in Russia that pre-date Christianity in Russia and go back to pagan Russia to prove that Rus people were in fact literate even before the coming of Christianity. So many pagan Rus birchbark letters have been discovered that it not only proves that the Rus have been literate even during their pagan days, but also that the amount of birchbark letters suggests that they even had some kind of a mail system established. The letters have been made not only by men but also women and even children

    Next, how about a Russian Exiles in Egypt tome? At that time Egypt was a kingdom, France not. I suppose it possible that the Sultans Kamel & Fuad (later King) would have had contact with any nobility or the Russian Imperial House, if present. From early-on Royal Egypt maintained a special "RUSSIAN OFFICE" to accommodate ones emi- grating from Sovietized Russland. It had issued colorful stamps for documents which are avidly sought by collectors of Russia. Earlier in Czarist times, Russian post offices were maintained there providing stamps overprinted R.O.P.I.T. for postal services payment. There could be a bit of a story having legs there for you. Anything Russian/Egyptian from that era, surely would get attention.

    Thanks for this its absolutely fantastic! I was aware of a lot of this but it's great to have it so neatly summarised in one video and the images are great. Tragic how the Church can be so grievously wounded by such a vain and inconsequential decision. If only Patriarch Nikon had repented when confronted with the will of his flock. Things might've been so very different today. Oh well, glory to God in all things! 🙏☦️

As for similarities, I hesitate to make a statement about this, because the real question, in my opinion, is whether one informed the other and this I am unable to say at the moment.

    In WW1, The King of England, the Kaiser of Germany, and the Tsar of Russia were all first cousins who ended up fighting each other. The "imperial families" of the world have plotted against each other in the most tragic way it seems...competing to be the wealthiest and most powerful. "Heirs" to the thrones were often killed by their relatives. The "Wars of the Roses" between the Houses of York and Lancaster in England are one example. There is evidence that the British Crown financed the Bolsheviks to destroy Russia and the Tsar who they viewed as a rival in world power. I'd rather be a "commoner" !

    NB: In the matter of the translation of N2's diary entry on hearing the news of "Misha's abdication": "Чушь!" is not correctly translated as "Rubbish!" It literally means, "Nonsense!" - which has far less vituperative sting to it than "Rubbish!" In 2024, some would find a closer equivalent in the modern English locution, "word salad," meaning "stale, meaningless phrases with no power to persuade anyone." "Rubbish!" is a far stronger expletive, that in Russian would be expressed as "дрянь, тупизм, идиотизм, дурь, кретинизм, помёт [guano], белиберда" (or a few obscenities popular with people from the ex-USSR).

    The Romanovs had evolved into an effete elite that had little understanding of the forces they were up against. The discovery of lucrative uses for petroleum sealed their fate, a good 50 years before the Revolution itself... Having grown up in a militarised Palace, they lacked street smarts & psychological insights. By the time 1905 rolled around, they were like putty in the hands of interested parties. It was an obvious requirement, in order to take possession of Russia's oil & gas resources (and other resources) that also already included Baku - then being developed by the Nobel Brothers, the Romanovs being principal shareholders of course! - that toppling an entire government was necessary, in order to sweep away all of its laws, all of its property rights and deeds, etc. This was rather easily achieved, first, by duping the Romanovs themselves (including via the Fake "Mystic," Rasputin, a debauched scion of the notoriously debauched Khlysty [хлысты] sect); second, by deploying ambitious, but incompetent & mentally disordered politicians (such as Rodzianko, Milyukov, Kerensky); thirdly, by relying on equally coddled elite "lawyers" such as Nabokov & Nolde - with their extremely limited understanding of economics, war, and the vast tapestry of a multi-tiered society dispersed over many millions of square kilometres, a Folk they scarcely interacted with; fourthly, by leveraging Russian supremacist propaganda and mythology about "the great, devout, loyal & 'naturally noble' Russian people," which was utter rubbish, as the Revolution quickly revealed. Anarchy and mayhem ensued, because of a handful of men (and a few cunning & unscrupulous women, such as the self-obsessed Brasova, whose principal motivator had been money from the moment she set her sights on a Mamontov only to discover that he was not as rich as his rich uncle; and the Rasputin-besotted Vyrubova, an obvious viper & security risk if there ever was one!) taking advantage of an eminently civilised, not at all ruthless, and far too trusting Nicholas II. His mistakes, besides not allowing his younger brother to marry his first love (as he had been allowed to marry his own true love, even though Alexandra was also a close cousin), included allowing the craven, arrogant militarists and bad diplomats - and extended family - to wade into 2 terrible wars. And we now also know that it was the 2 Toxic Montenegrin princesses who whipped up a frenzy of hysteria in the Palace over "the Serbian Orthodox cause." And that's another huge, epic historical scandal! Russia was brought down by the weight of its own poorly managed Imperial Dynasty & Court System, too many irresponsible princes who were easily manipulated + too many courtiers who lacked education & skills but inherited their prominent roles by being related to the "correct" ancestors... And all of that antiquated institutional complexity was hampered - as the entire population of the REmp was - by inadequate education, insufficient humility (it is humility that teaches us to work hard instead of to "try our luck" at taking what is others'!) and too much luxurious living. (And does that sound familiar?) Thank you for this excellent lecture. And now, Russians, do yourselves and everyone else a favour by GETTING THE BLAZES OUT OF UKRAINE, INCLUDING CRIMEA.
