Will the Russian Orthodox Church, after the latest examinations, recognize the so-called “Ekaterinburg remains” - the remains of the family of the last Russian emperor? The unequivocal answer to this question is still sealed: according to the law, experts cannot disclose research results until the investigative case is closed. Nevertheless, as an exception, individual conversations with researchers, with the permission of the Investigative Committee, are now published by the church portal. On the eve of a large conference on the “Ekaterinbug remains,” RIA Novosti correspondent Sergei Stefanov talked with a famous Orthodox publicist and historian, researcher of the fate of the royal family, who is authorized by the patriarchal commission to record and publish conversations with experts.
- Anatoly Dmitrievich, why was the decision made to publish part of the data?
Research into the “Ekaterinburg remains,” as is known, has a long history. In the 90s, many Orthodox Christians developed a distrust of the investigation and the results of examinations. There are many reasons for this, the main one of which is haste and pressure from secular authorities on the Church. A new stage of the study, begun in 2015, is taking place with the active participation of representatives of the Church. However, recently, some representatives of the Orthodox community have begun to show concern over the lack of information about the progress of the research, and the opinion has begun to spread that they are being carried out behind the scenes, “behind the people’s back.”
To dispel these doubts and rumors, the leadership of the Russian Orthodox Church turned to the Investigative Committee of Russia with a request to allow experts, bound by a non-disclosure agreement, to speak publicly about the results of their work. For greater objectivity, the secretary of the Patriarchal Commission for the Study of the Remains, Bishop Tikhon (Shevkunov) of Yegoryevsk, suggested conducting such interviews with three people who were known as active critics of the investigation in the 90s and 2000s: candidate of historical sciences Peter Multatuli, historian and journalist Leonid Bolotin and to your humble servant. Multatuli refused, but Leonid Evgenievich and I agreed. For various reasons, I recorded the first few interviews without Bolotin’s participation, although I agreed with him on the questions for the researchers. We recorded an interview with historian Evgeny Vladimirovich Pchelov together; it will be published soon.
As far as one can judge from previous publications, at first you were a supporter of the point of view that the remains found near Yekaterinburg do not belong to the royal family. However, then you changed your position. How did this happen, for what reasons?
I can't say that I've changed my position. In the 90s and 2000s, I, like many representatives of the Orthodox community who were more or less familiar with the topic, had a mistrust of the investigation. Now there is no such mistrust. Firstly, because the investigation is taking place in close cooperation and even under the control of the hierarchy of the Russian Orthodox Church, which is what we have been striving for all these years. Secondly, the study involved experts who had previously criticized the conclusions of the investigation and were skeptical about the results of the examinations, for example, St. Petersburg forensic expert Professor Vyacheslav Popov. When talking with experts, I first of all want to understand for myself this most complex, but also the most important problem not only for our past, but, I am sure, for the future as well. I still have many questions.
The examinations carried out after the discovery of the remains near Yekaterinburg in the early 1990s raised many questions and doubts. Probably, it was precisely because of this that the Church at that time did not recognize the “Ekaterinburg remains” as royal ones. What were the main complaints made to researchers at that time? Can we hope that the current examinations will take into account the mistakes and gaps made?
As you know, the Church’s position was finally formulated at a meeting of the Holy Synod on July 17, 1997, the day when, at the insistence of secular authorities, the remains were buried in the Peter and Paul Fortress without the participation of the patriarch and bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church. The essence of the position of the hierarchy was that it was necessary to continue the work of the state commission, since the Church did not receive convincing answers to the 10 questions it posed at the Synod meeting on October 6, 1995 and developed by the commission on November 15, 1995.
Let me remind you of some of them: a complete anthropological study of bone remains; analysis of the conclusions of the investigation of the Kolchak government about the complete destruction of the entire royal family and comparison of other results of the investigation of 1918-1924 and the modern investigation; graphological, stylistic examination of “Yurovsky’s Notes” (about the execution of the royal family. - Ed.); conducting an examination regarding the callus on skull No. 4 (presumably that of Nicholas II - Ed.); confirmation or denial of the ritual nature of the murder; confirmation or refutation of evidence of the severed head of Nicholas II immediately after his murder. These issues are the focus of attention of experts today. And we hope to receive convincing answers to them. And some have already been received.
If we briefly summarize the evidence that has already been made public, what main conclusions and expert opinions could you note? What new things have been discovered during recent research? For example, I have come across statements that during examinations the remains of Alexander III were taken for examination and on the basis of this the authenticity of the found remains of Emperor Nicholas II was allegedly confirmed...
I can only speak about what I heard from experts. As far as I know, genetic examination, including comparison of the remains of Emperor Alexander III and skeleton No. 4 - the alleged remains of Emperor Nicholas II - has not yet been completed. At least I haven’t talked to geneticists and I can’t say anything about this. I talked to an anthropologist, a dentist, forensic experts, historians. Among the new data, one can note the statement of anthropologist Denis Pezhemsky and forensic expert Vyacheslav Popov that traces of a saber blow were found on skull No. 4 (an attempt was made on the life of Tsarevich Nicholas in 1891 in Japan; previous examinations did not reveal traces of the blow. - Ed. .). This is a very important testimony. We are waiting for the publication of photographs and the results of the analysis.
What kind of examinations are currently being carried out? Which of them, according to your data, have already been completed to date? Which ones are fundamentally new - not conducted in the 1990s? In general, how would you characterize the level of current research?
As far as I understand, the first task of the new investigation was to put the investigative file in order, since it turned out that there was no documentary evidence of many of the examinations carried out. According to experts, the new investigation is more systematic in nature, many new examinations are being appointed. The previous investigation relied mainly on genetic examination and paid the main attention to it. Today, in addition to the forensic medical examination, an anthropological examination was carried out. And the genetic one is organized much more thoroughly - the genetic material is carefully encrypted, they say, even personally by the Holy Patriarch, so that the mosquito does not undermine the nose (we are talking about the numbering of body tissue samples taken for examination personally by Patriarch Kirill. - Ed.).
The historical examination continues, which has raised many questions in the past. Historians have been asked a huge number of questions, starting with the circumstances of the so-called abdication of the sovereign and ending with an analysis of the investigative case of Nikolai Sokolov (since 1919 he led the investigation into the murder of the royal family. - Ed.) and various testimonies of the organizers and participants in the regicide. The historical examination is still ongoing.
The so-called “Yurovsky Note” raises many questions. As far as I know, today not only a handwriting examination is being carried out, but also an author's examination, designed to answer the question of whether Yurovsky was involved in its composition, or whether the note was the work of the Soviet historian Pokrovsky. An attempt is being made to identify, from the handwriting of the author, the inscription of a couplet from Heinrich Heine on the wall of the basement of Ipatiev’s house (Heine’s poem talks about the murder of the last Babylonian king Belshazzar. - Ed.).
As far as I know, the new investigation orders examinations during the course of the investigation, if the need arises. At one of the last working meetings, the head of the Investigative Committee asked forensic experts to conduct an examination that would answer the question of the possibility of dissolving a human body in sulfuric acid.
- Are there any unsolvable problems that researchers face?
Well, I can only competently judge historical problems. For example, historians are faced with the problem of the loss of some archives, including such an important source as the minutes of meetings of the presidium of the Ural Regional Council, where the fate of the royal family was discussed. There is a version that the archive disappeared during the Nevyansk anti-Bolshevik uprising. Another problem is that we will probably never know what the main organizers (as one might assume) of the regicide Yakov Sverdlov and Isaac Goloshchekin agreed on in July 1918, when Goloshchekin lived with Sverdlov in an apartment in Moscow during the V Congress of Soviets. There are also a number of questions regarding the reconstruction of the historical outline of events, which can only be answered speculatively.
The remains, as some believe, of Tsarevich Alexy and Princess Maria were found in 2007; whereas the alleged remains of the royal couple and their three other daughters are much earlier: in 1991 in Porosenkov Log. Are similar examinations carried out on all the remains found?
Two bodies, the remains of which were found in 2007, were burned. Only 170 grams of bones remained from them, and after examinations carried out in 2007 - and some believe, simply because of carelessness - 70 grams. Therefore, it is impossible to conduct similar examinations. They say that geneticists managed to take “pure” material for examination of these remains. But based on an analysis of the preserved bones, anthropologist Denis Pezhemsky can only say that these are the remains of an already formed girl and a child, whose age and gender he cannot determine.
In your opinion, what sentiments prevail among Orthodox believers regarding the establishment of the authenticity of the “Ekaterinburg remains”? What is public opinion leaning towards? And how important is this topic for believers?
This problem is very difficult. Unfortunately, the resulting mistrust in the previous investigation sometimes extends to the activities of the current investigation. Conspiracy theories about current events are being expressed. However, in general, according to my observations, the majority of believers still trust the ongoing research - precisely for the reason that it takes place in close cooperation with the Church. The topic of identification is important primarily for the educated and politically active part of believers, which is why it is presented in the media space.
Bishop Tikhon recently said that the church commission examining the research results is under pressure from those who ask to speed up the work and from those who in any case refuse to accept any results of the experts' work. You, too, are, one might say, in the thick of things - do you feel this pressure? Who benefits from it?
Bishop Tikhon, by the way, for many years was among those who were skeptical about the results of the identification of the “Ekaterinburg remains” carried out in the 90s. Just like the current His Holiness Patriarch Kirill. It is just stupid and groundless to accuse them of some kind of bias.
There is, indeed, a small but active group of representatives of the Orthodox community, which takes an irreconcilable position: they have no questions, and the conclusions of investigator Nikolai Sokolov about the destruction of the bodies of the royal family and their servants are immutable. On June 18, a conference was held in Moscow in the palace of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich in Kolomenskoye, where exactly this kind of sentiment prevailed. I participated in this meeting. It was there that I fully felt the pressure, when some people present in the hall interrupted me and tried to disrupt my performance. But I am glad that many of my long-time friends and colleagues, despite disagreements on some issues, have maintained friendly relations with me.
And what determines the position of those who under no circumstances intend to recognize the found remains as the remains of the Romanov family? Are there many such people, is their influence strong? Is there a potential danger of a schism within the Russian Church in this regard?
According to my observations, there are few such people. And their influence in the Church is not so strong. By the way, they themselves do not represent some kind of monolithic unity, since there are serious disagreements between them on other issues of church life. And in this sense, I do not see a real threat of a split in the Russian Orthodox Church on this issue.
There are many more doubters who still have many questions. There are many such people both among bishops and clergy, and among the laity. And this is the main challenge for the Church.
I think that the initiative of the hierarchy to start discussing the topic is precisely intended to remove some questions by organizing a broad church discussion.
Is there at least approximate data on when we can expect final results? Can the Council of Bishops, which is scheduled to meet in late November - early December, put an end to this matter? Or could it happen next year?
The position of His Holiness the Patriarch on this matter, as I heard from various sources, is this: they will investigate as long as questions remain. There is no need for haste here. The hierarchy is not tied to any dates. Since all the examinations have not yet been completed, it is unlikely that the Council of Bishops will make any decision. Perhaps the bishops will be familiarized with the preliminary results of the examinations, as members of the Holy Synod were familiarized with them in June of this year. I would like to hope that by the 100th anniversary of the villainous murder of the royal family and their servants - by July 1918 - there will be clarity on this issue.
It must be borne in mind that obtaining the results of examinations is the completion of only the scientific and investigative part of this process. And then, if these are indeed the relics of the holy Royal Passion-Bearers and their servants, they must “reveal themselves” by miracles. After all, the Church also has its own unique thousand-year experience in identifying the authenticity of relics. So, I believe that the matter will not end with scientific examinations.
It is known that a large scientific and practical conference with the participation of experts is planned in Moscow at the end of November - beginning of December, which will be broadcast on Orthodox TV channels and on the Internet. Is it possible to say that this conference will summarize the results of expert research and it will become a kind of final event?
I believe that this is the main goal of the planned conference. The Orthodox community must hear first-hand answers to all the questions that concern us.
If we nevertheless assume that the Church recognizes these remains, then what about Ganina Yama, where there is a monastery in honor of the Royal Passion-Bearers? After all, many Orthodox believe that the monastery was created on the site where the remains of the royal family were destroyed...
The monastery in honor of the holy Royal Passion-Bearers on Ganina Yama was created on the site where the bodies of the martyrs were mocked and destroyed. Nothing has changed and nothing will change. Whether the bodies were completely destroyed at Ganina Yama or they could not be destroyed there and were taken to another place, and in the end they were able to burn only two bodies at the stake, and the rest were buried in a pit in Piglet Log, experts must answer us. If this turns out to be true, a place of veneration in Piglet Log will simply be added to the place of veneration of the Royal Martyrs on Ganina Yama.
According to official history, on the night of July 16-17, 1918, Nikolai Romanov, along with his wife and children, was shot. After opening the burial and identifying the remains in 1998, they were reburied in the tomb of the Peter and Paul Cathedral in St. Petersburg. However, then the Russian Orthodox Church did not confirm their authenticity.
“I cannot exclude that the church will recognize the royal remains as authentic if convincing evidence of their authenticity is discovered and if the examination is open and honest,” Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk, head of the Department for External Church Relations of the Moscow Patriarchate, said in July of this year.
As is known, the Russian Orthodox Church did not participate in the burial of the remains of the royal family in 1998, explaining this by the fact that the church is not sure whether the original remains of the royal family are buried. The Russian Orthodox Church refers to a book by Kolchak investigator Nikolai Sokolov, who concluded that all the bodies were burned. Some of the remains collected by Sokolov at the burning site are kept in Brussels, in the Church of St. Job the Long-Suffering, and they have not been examined. At one time, a version of Yurovsky’s note, who supervised the execution and burial, was found - it became the main document before the transfer of the remains (along with the book of investigator Sokolov). And now, in the coming year of the 100th anniversary of the execution of the Romanov family, the Russian Orthodox Church has been tasked with giving a final answer to all the dark execution sites near Yekaterinburg. To obtain a final answer, research has been carried out for several years under the auspices of the Russian Orthodox Church. Again, historians, geneticists, graphologists, pathologists and other specialists are rechecking the facts, powerful scientific forces and the forces of the prosecutor's office are again involved, and all these actions again take place under a thick veil of secrecy.
Genetic identification research is carried out by four independent groups of scientists. Two of them are foreign, working directly with the Russian Orthodox Church. At the beginning of July 2017, the secretary of the church commission for studying the results of the study of the remains found near Yekaterinburg, Bishop Tikhon (Shevkunov) of Yegoryevsk, said: a large number of new circumstances and new documents have been discovered. For example, Sverdlov’s order to execute Nicholas II was found. In addition, based on the results of recent research, criminologists have confirmed that the remains of the Tsar and Tsarina belong to them, since a mark was suddenly found on the skull of Nicholas II, which is interpreted as a mark from a saber blow he received while visiting Japan. As for the queen, dentists identified her using the world's first porcelain veneers on platinum pins.
Although, if you open the conclusion of the commission, written before the burial in 1998, it says: the bones of the sovereign’s skull are so destroyed that the characteristic callus cannot be found. The same conclusion noted severe damage to the teeth of Nikolai’s presumed remains due to periodontal disease, since this person had never been to the dentist. This confirms that it was not the tsar who was shot, since the records of the Tobolsk dentist whom Nikolai contacted remained. In addition, no explanation has yet been found for the fact that the height of the skeleton of “Princess Anastasia” is 13 centimeters greater than her lifetime height. Well, as you know, miracles happen in the church... Shevkunov did not say a word about genetic testing, and this despite the fact that genetic studies in 2003 conducted by Russian and American specialists showed that the genome of the body of the supposed empress and her sister Elizabeth Feodorovna did not match , which means no relationship.

In addition, in the museum of the city of Otsu (Japan) there are things left after the policeman wounded Nicholas II. They contain biological material that can be examined. Based on them, Japanese geneticists from Tatsuo Nagai’s group proved that the DNA of the remains of “Nicholas II” from near Yekaterinburg (and his family) does not 100% match the DNA of biomaterials from Japan. During the Russian DNA examination, second cousins were compared, and in the conclusion it was written that “there are matches.” The Japanese compared relatives of cousins. There are also the results of a genetic examination of the President of the International Association of Forensic Physicians, Mr. Bonte from Dusseldorf, in which he proved: the found remains and doubles of the Nicholas II Filatov family are relatives. Perhaps, from their remains in 1946, the “remains of the royal family” were created? The problem has not been studied.
Earlier, in 1998, the Russian Orthodox Church, on the basis of these conclusions and facts, did not recognize the existing remains as authentic, but what will happen now? In December, all conclusions of the Investigative Committee and the ROC commission will be considered by the Council of Bishops. It is he who will decide on the church’s attitude towards the Yekaterinburg remains. Let's see why everything is so nervous and what is the history of this crime?
This kind of money is worth fighting for
Today, some of the Russian elites have suddenly awakened an interest in one very piquant history of relations between Russia and the United States, connected with the Romanov royal family. The story in a nutshell is this: More than 100 years ago, in 1913, the United States created the Federal Reserve System (FRS), a central bank and international currency printing press that still operates today. The Fed was created for the newly created League of Nations (now the UN) and would be a single global financial center with its own currency. Russia contributed 48,600 tons of gold to the “authorized capital” of the system. But the Rothschilds demanded that Woodrow Wilson, who was then re-elected as US President, transfer the center to their private ownership along with the gold. The organization became known as the Federal Reserve System, where Russia owned 88.8%, and 11.2% belonged to 43 international beneficiaries. Receipts stating that 88.8% of gold assets for a period of 99 years are under the control of the Rothschilds were transferred in six copies to the family of Nicholas II. The annual income on these deposits was fixed at 4%, which was supposed to be transferred to Russia annually, but was deposited in the X-1786 account of the World Bank and in 300 thousand accounts in 72 international banks. All these documents confirming the right to the gold pledged to the Federal Reserve from Russia in the amount of 48,600 tons, as well as income from leasing it, were deposited by the mother of Tsar Nicholas II, Maria Fedorovna Romanova, for safekeeping in one of the Swiss banks. But only heirs have conditions for access there, and this access is controlled by the Rothschild clan. Gold certificates were issued for the gold provided by Russia, which made it possible to claim the metal in parts - the royal family hid them in different places. Later, in 1944, the Bretton Woods Conference confirmed Russia's right to 88% of the Fed's assets.
At one time, two well-known Russian oligarchs, Roman Abramovich and Boris Berezovsky, proposed to tackle this “golden” issue. But Yeltsin “didn’t understand” them, and now, apparently, that very “golden” time has come... And now this gold is remembered more and more often - though not at the state level.

In Lahore, Pakistan, 16 police officers were arrested for the shooting of an innocent family on the streets of the city. According to eyewitnesses, the police stopped a car traveling to the wedding and brutally dealt with its driver and passengers.
People kill for this gold, fight for it, and make fortunes from it.
Today's researchers believe that all wars and revolutions in Russia and in the world occurred because the Rothschild clan and the United States did not intend to return gold to the Federal Reserve System of Russia. After all, the execution of the royal family made it possible for the Rothschild clan not to give up the gold and not pay for its 99-year lease. “Currently, out of three Russian copies of the agreement on gold invested in the Fed, two are in our country, the third is presumably in one of the Swiss banks,” says researcher Sergei Zhilenkov. – In a cache in the Nizhny Novgorod region, there are documents from the royal archive, among which there are 12 “gold” certificates. If they are presented, the global financial hegemony of the USA and the Rothschilds will simply collapse, and our country will receive huge money and all the opportunities for development, since it will no longer be strangled from overseas,” the historian is sure.
Many wanted to close the questions about the royal assets with the reburial. Professor Vladlen Sirotkin also has a calculation for the so-called war gold exported to the West and East during the First World War and the Civil War: Japan - 80 billion dollars, Great Britain - 50 billion, France - 25 billion, USA - 23 billion, Sweden - 5 billion, Czech Republic – $1 billion. Total – 184 billion. Surprisingly, officials in the US and UK, for example, do not dispute these figures, but are surprised at the lack of requests from Russia. By the way, the Bolsheviks remembered Russian assets in the West in the early 20s. Back in 1923, People's Commissar of Foreign Trade Leonid Krasin ordered a British investigative law firm to evaluate Russian real estate and cash deposits abroad. By 1993, this company reported that it had already accumulated a data bank worth 400 billion dollars! And this is legal Russian money.
Why did the Romanovs die? Britain did not accept them!
There is a long-term study, unfortunately, by the now deceased professor Vladlen Sirotkin (MGIMO) “Foreign Gold of Russia” (Moscow, 2000), where the gold and other holdings of the Romanov family, accumulated in the accounts of Western banks, are also estimated at no less than 400 billion dollars, and together with investments - more than 2 trillion dollars! In the absence of heirs from the Romanov side, the closest relatives turn out to be members of the English royal family... Whose interests may be behind many events of the 19th–21st centuries... By the way, it is not clear (or, on the contrary, it is clear) for what reasons the royal house of England refused the family three times The Romanovs are in refuge. The first time in 1916, in the apartment of Maxim Gorky, an escape was planned - the rescue of the Romanovs by kidnapping and internment of the royal couple during their visit to an English warship, which was then sent to Great Britain. The second was Kerensky's request, which was also rejected. Then the Bolsheviks’ request was not accepted. And this despite the fact that the mothers of George V and Nicholas II were sisters. In surviving correspondence, Nicholas II and George V call each other “Cousin Nicky” and “Cousin Georgie” - they were cousins with an age difference of less than three years, and in their youth these guys spent a lot of time together and were very similar in appearance. As for the queen, her mother, Princess Alice, was the eldest and beloved daughter of Queen Victoria of England. At that time, England held 440 tons of gold from Russia’s gold reserves and 5.5 tons of Nicholas II’s personal gold as collateral for military loans. Now think about it: if the royal family died, then who would the gold go to? To the closest relatives! Is this the reason why cousin Georgie refused to accept cousin Nicky's family? To obtain gold, its owners had to die. Officially. And now all this needs to be connected with the burial of the royal family, which will officially testify that the owners of untold wealth are dead.
Versions of life after death
All versions of the death of the royal family that exist today can be divided into three. First version: the royal family was shot near Yekaterinburg, and its remains, with the exception of Alexei and Maria, were reburied in St. Petersburg. The remains of these children were found in 2007, all examinations were carried out on them, and they will apparently be buried on the 100th anniversary of the tragedy. If this version is confirmed, for accuracy it is necessary to once again identify all the remains and repeat all examinations, especially genetic and pathological anatomical ones. Second version: the royal family was not shot, but was scattered throughout Russia and all family members died a natural death, having lived their lives in Russia or abroad, while in Yekaterinburg a family of doubles was shot (members of the same family or people from different families, but similar on members of the emperor's family). Nicholas II had doubles after Bloody Sunday 1905. When leaving the palace, three carriages left. It is unknown which of them Nicholas II sat in. The Bolsheviks, having captured the archives of the 3rd department in 1917, had data of doubles. There is an assumption that one of the families of doubles - the Filatovs, who are distantly related to the Romanovs - followed them to Tobolsk. Third version: the intelligence services added false remains to the burials of members of the royal family as they died naturally or before opening the grave. To do this, it is necessary to very carefully monitor, among other things, the age of the biomaterial.
Let us present one of the versions of the historian of the royal family Sergei Zhelenkov, which seems to us the most logical, although very unusual.
Before investigator Sokolov, the only investigator who published a book about the execution of the royal family, there were investigators Malinovsky, Nametkin (his archive was burned along with his house), Sergeev (removed from the case and killed), Lieutenant General Diterichs, Kirsta. All these investigators concluded that the royal family was not killed. Neither the Reds nor the Whites wanted to disclose this information - they understood that American bankers were primarily interested in obtaining objective information. The Bolsheviks were interested in the tsar's money, and Kolchak declared himself the Supreme Ruler of Russia, which could not happen with a living sovereign.
Investigator Sokolov was conducting two cases - one on the fact of murder and the other on the fact of disappearance. At the same time, military intelligence, represented by Kirst, conducted an investigation. When the Whites left Russia, Sokolov, fearing for the collected materials, sent them to Harbin - some of his materials were lost along the way. Sokolov’s materials contained evidence of the financing of the Russian revolution by the American bankers Schiff, Kuhn and Loeb, and Ford, who was in conflict with these bankers, became interested in these materials. He even called Sokolov from France, where he settled, to the USA. When returning from the USA to France, Nikolai Sokolov was killed. Sokolov’s book was published after his death, and many people “worked” on it, removing many scandalous facts from it, so it cannot be considered completely truthful. The surviving members of the royal family were observed by people from the KGB, where a special department was created for this purpose, dissolved during perestroika. The archives of this department have been preserved. The royal family was saved by Stalin - the royal family was evacuated from Yekaterinburg through Perm to Moscow and came into the possession of Trotsky, then the People's Commissar of Defense. To further save the royal family, Stalin carried out an entire operation, stealing it from Trotsky’s people and taking them to Sukhumi, to a specially built house next to the former house of the royal family. From there, all family members were distributed to different places, Maria and Anastasia were taken to the Glinsk Hermitage (Sumy region), then Maria was transported to the Nizhny Novgorod region, where she died of illness on May 24, 1954. Anastasia subsequently married Stalin’s personal guard and lived very secluded on a small farm, died
June 27, 1980 in the Volgograd region. The eldest daughters, Olga and Tatyana, were sent to the Seraphim-Diveevo convent - the empress was settled not far from the girls. But they did not live here for long. Olga, having traveled through Afghanistan, Europe and Finland, settled in Vyritsa, Leningrad Region, where she died on January 19, 1976. Tatyana lived partly in Georgia, partly in the Krasnodar Territory, was buried in the Krasnodar Territory, and died on September 21, 1992. Alexey and his mother lived at their dacha, then Alexey was transported to Leningrad, where they “did” a biography on him, and the whole world recognized him as party and Soviet leader Alexei Nikolaevich Kosygin (Stalin sometimes called him Tsarevich in front of everyone). Nicholas II lived and died in Nizhny Novgorod (December 22, 1958), and the queen died in the village of Starobelskaya, Lugansk region on April 2, 1948 and was subsequently reburied in Nizhny Novgorod, where she and the emperor have a common grave. Three daughters of Nicholas II, besides Olga, had children. N.A. Romanov communicated with I.V. Stalin, and the wealth of the Russian Empire was used to strengthen the power of the USSR...
This gave special weight to the arguments of that group of learned historians and geneticists who are confident that in 1998, in the Peter and Paul Fortress, under the guise of the imperial family, completely alien remains were buried with great pomp. For almost ten years, the problem of searching for and identifying the remains of Nikolai Romanov’s family executed in Yekaterinburg in 1918 has been dealt with by Vadim Viner, a professor at the Russian Academy of History and Paleontology. For this purpose, he even created a special Center to investigate the circumstances of the death of family members of the House of Romanov, of which he is the president. Wiener is confident that the statement of Japanese scientists could provoke a new political scandal in Russia if the decision of a special commission of the Russian government recognizing the “Ekaterinburg remains” as Romanov’s remains is not canceled. He spoke about the main arguments on this matter and what interests were intertwined in the “Romanov case” in an interview with Strana.Ru correspondent Viktor Belimov.
- Vadim Aleksandrovich, what reasons does Russia have to trust Tatsuo Nagai?
There are enough of them. It is known that for an examination of this level it is necessary to take not distant relatives of the emperor, but close relatives. This means sisters, brothers, mother. What did the government commission do? She took distant kinship, second cousins of Nicholas II, and a very distant kinship along the line of Alexandra Feodorovna, this is the English Prince Philip. Despite the fact that it is possible to find out the DNA structures of close relatives: there are the relics of Elizabeth Feodorovna, the Empress’s sister, the son of Nicholas II’s sister Tikhon Nikolaevich Kulikovsky-Romanov. Meanwhile, the comparison was made on the basis of analyzes of distant relatives, and very strange results were obtained with formulations such as “there are coincidences.” Coincidence in the language of geneticists does not mean identity at all. In general, we are all the same. Because we have two arms, two legs and one head. This is not an argument. The Japanese took DNA tests of the emperor’s close relatives.
Second. A very clear historical fact has been recorded that when Nicholas once, while still a crown prince, traveled to Japan, he was hit on the head with a saber. Two wounds were inflicted: occipito-parietal and fronto-parietal 9 and 10 cm, respectively. While cleaning the second occipito-parietal wound, a bone fragment the thickness of an ordinary sheet of writing paper was removed. This is enough to leave a notch on the skull - the so-called bone callus, which does not resolve. On the skull, which the Sverdlovsk authorities, and later the federal authorities, passed off as the skull of Nicholas II, there is no such callus. Both the Obretenie Foundation, represented by Mr. Avdonin, and the Sverdlovsk Bureau of Forensic Medicine, represented by Mr. Nevolin, said whatever they wanted: that the Japanese were mistaken, that the wound could migrate along the skull, and so on.
What did the Japanese do? It turns out that after Nikolai’s visit to Japan, they kept his scarf, vest, the sofa on which he sat, and the saber with which they hit him. All this is in the Otsu City Museum. Japanese scientists studied DNA from the blood that remained on the scarf after the wound, and DNA from cut bones discovered in Yekaterinburg. It turned out that the DNA structures are different. This was in 1997. Now Tatsuo Nagai decided to summarize all this data into one comprehensive study. His examination lasted a year and ended recently, in July. Japanese geneticists have proven 100 percent that the examination carried out by Mr. Ivanov’s group was pure hackwork. But the DNA analysis carried out by the Japanese is only a link in a whole chain of evidence about the non-involvement of the Yekaterinburg remains with the family of Nicholas II.
In addition, I note that an examination was carried out using the same method by another geneticist, the President of the International Association of Forensic Physicians, Mr. Bonte from Dusseldorf. He proved that the found remains and doubles of the family of Nicholas II, the Filatovs, are relatives.
- Why are the Japanese so interested in proving the mistake of the Russian government and Russian geneticists?
Their interest here is purely professional. They have a thing that is directly related not only to the memory of Russia, but also to the entire controversial situation. I mean the handkerchief with the king's blood. As you know, geneticists are divided on this issue, as are historians. The Japanese supported the group that is trying to prove that these are not the remains of Nicholas II and his family. And they supported it not because they wanted it, but because their results themselves showed the obvious incompetence of Mr. Ivanov and, even more so, the incompetence of the entire government commission, which was created under the leadership of Boris Nemtsov. Tatsuo Nagai's conclusions are the last, very strong argument that is difficult to refute.
- Were there any responses to Nagai’s statements from your opponents?
There were screams. From the side of the same Avdonin. Like, what does some Japanese professor have to do with it if the governor of the Sverdlovsk region, Rossel, supported us. Then it was said that this was inspired by some dark forces. Who are they? Apparently there are many of them, starting with Patriarch Alexy II. Because the Church initially did not accept the point of view of the official authorities.
You said that DNA analysis is only a link in the chain of evidence. What other arguments are there to prove that there are no remains of the last imperial family in the Peter and Paul Fortress?
There are two blocks of arguments. The first block is intravital medicine. Initially, Nikolai Alexandrovich and his family were served by 37 doctors. Naturally, medical documents were preserved. This is the easiest examination. And the first argument that we found concerns the discrepancies between the data from the doctors’ lifetime records and the condition of skeleton No. 5. This skeleton was passed off as the skeleton of Anastasia. According to doctors' records, Anastasia had a height of 158 cm during her lifetime. She was short and plump. The skeleton that was buried is 171 cm tall and is the skeleton of a thin person. The second is bone callus, which I already mentioned.
Third. In the diaries of Nicholas II, when he was in Tobolsk, there is an entry: “I sat at the dentist.” A number of fellow historians and I began to look for who was the dentist in Tobolsk at that time. He, or rather she, was alone in the whole city - Maria Lazarevna Rendel. She left her son notes on the condition of Nicholas II's teeth. She told me what fillings she applied. We asked forensic scientists to look at the fillings on the skeleton's teeth. It turned out that nothing matches. The Medical Examiner's Office again said Rendell was wrong. How could she be wrong if she, excuse me, personally treated his teeth?
We started looking for other records. And I found in the State Archives of the Russian Federation at Bolshaya Pirogovskaya, 17, the records of physician Evgeniy Sergeevich Botkin. In one of the diaries there is a phrase: “” “Nicholas II unsuccessfully climbed onto a horse. Fell. Broken leg. The pain is localized. A plaster cast has been applied.” But there is not a single fracture on the skeleton, which they are trying to pass off as the skeleton of Nicholas II. And we did this at minimal cost. Investigator of the Prosecutor General's Office Solovyov, who led this case, did not need to travel abroad and spend budget money, as he did with pleasure. It was enough to look into the archives of Moscow and St. Petersburg. But this does not indicate reluctance, but rather the fact that the authorities very much wanted to ignore these arguments and documents.
The second block of arguments is related to history. First of all, we raised the question of whether Yurovsky’s note, on the basis of which the authorities were looking for the grave, is genuine. And now our colleague, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor Buranov, finds in the archive a handwritten note written by Mikhail Nikolaevich Pokrovsky, and not by any means Yakov Mikhailovich Yurovsky. This grave is clearly marked there. That is, the note is a priori false. Pokrovsky was the first director of Rosarkhiv. Stalin used it when it was necessary to rewrite history. He has a famous expression: “History is politics facing the past.” Yurovsky's note is a fake. Since it is a fake, you cannot use it to locate the grave. This is now a proven issue.
- This also has a legal side...
It is also full of oddities and absurdities. We originally asked that all of this be displayed in the right margin. In 1991, Avdonin, who found the grave, contacted the Verkh-Isetsky District Department of Internal Affairs of Yekaterinburg with a statement about the find. From there they contact the regional prosecutor's office, and a prosecutor's inspection is ordered. The grave has been opened. Further it is unclear. A criminal case is not initiated, but as part of this inspection, a prosecutorial examination is appointed. This is already an obvious contradiction. That is, they had to initiate a criminal case in connection with the discovery of remains that showed signs of violent death. Article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. As a result, a criminal case is initiated under Article 102. Murder committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy. This is where real politics comes into play. Because a simple question arises: if you are taking a case based on the circumstances of the death of the royal family, then who should you involve as suspects in the murder? Sverdlov, Lenin, Dzerzhinsky - the city of Moscow? Or Beloborodova, Voikova, Goloshchekina - this is Uralsovet, Yekaterinburg. Who will you file a case against if they are all dead?
That is, a priori the case was illegal, and it had no judicial prospects. But under Article 102 it is easier to prove that these are the remains of the Romanov family, or rather, it is easier to ignore the arguments. How should one act if everything was done according to the law? You must set a statute of limitations and find out that no one can be held accountable. The criminal case is subject to closure. Next, you need to take the case to court, make a judicial ruling to establish personal identity, and then resolve the issue of the funeral. But this was not profitable for the Prosecutor General's Office. She spent government money, feigning vigorous activity. That is, it was pure politics. Considering that huge amounts of money from the federal budget were poured into this matter.
The Prosecutor General's Office initiates a case under Article 102 and closes it due to the fact that the remains belong to Nicholas II. It's the same difference as between sour and salty. Moreover, the decision about the remains was made not by the court, but by the government of the Russian Federation under Chernomyrdin. The government decides by voting that these are the remains of the royal family. Is this a court decision? Naturally not.
Moreover, the General Prosecutor's Office, represented by Solovyov, is seeking to issue a death certificate. I will quote him: “The death certificate was issued to Nikolai Alexandrovich Romanov. Born May 6, 1868. Place of birth unknown. Education unknown. His place of residence before his arrest is unknown. His place of work before his arrest is unknown. The cause of death was execution. The place of death is the basement of a residential building in Yekaterinburg.” Tell me, who was issued this certificate? You don't know where he was born? You don't even know that he was an emperor? This is the realest mockery!
-What is the position of the Church?
She does not recognize these remains as authentic, seeing all these contradictions. The church initially separated two issues - the remains separately, and the names separately. And then, realizing that the government will bury these remains, the Church makes the only correct decision from the “God knows their names” series. Here's the paradox. The Church buries under the motto “God knows their names,” Yeltsin, under pressure from the Church, buries some victims of the civil war. The question is: who are we burying anyway?
What do you think was the purpose of this whole thing? The argument for traveling “abroad” is still weak. The level of the game is still slightly higher...
But the banal reason is in the other direction. When did interest in the Romanovs arise? It was when Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev, and then Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachev, tried to improve relations with Buckingham Palace. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II said that she would not come to Russia until they apologize to her for the fate of Nicholas II. Nicholas II and her father are cousins. And she went only after they apologized to her. That is, all stages of the appearance and study of these remains are closely related to political events.
The autopsy of the remains took place a few days before the meeting between Gorbachev and Thatcher. As for Britain as such, there, in the Baring brothers’ bank, lies gold, the personal gold of Nicholas II. Five and a half tons. They cannot release this gold until Nicholas II is declared dead. Not even missing in action. Because no one put anyone on the wanted list. Therefore, he is not missing. According to UK law, the absence of a corpse and the absence of documents on the wanted list means that the person is alive. In this situation, apparently hoping that they will be able to process certain relatives, the authorities decide to search for the remains and conduct a poor-quality examination.
- But even after that, the Baring brothers’ bank did not issue gold...
It was not by chance that the Prosecutor General's Office issued a death certificate. And a group of citizens turned to the bank for money. But the bank does not recognize this document. They are demanding a decision from a Russian court that Nicholas II died and these are his remains.
- Why are relatives ready to worship someone else’s grave if only they were given gold?
For most relatives, of course, finding an authentic grave is more important than gold. They tried to drag them into this dirty game. Many refused, but some of the Romanovs still came to Yekaterinburg for the funeral.
What do you propose to do now that you have such influential people as Japanese scientists as your allies?
Let's return the matter strictly to the legal field. We'll take it to court. The court will reject the evidence system of the Prosecutor General's Office. Since there are already two court rulings in Germany on the recognition of the Yekaterinburg remains as relatives of the Filatovs. That is, you still need to determine whose remains these are and hand them over to relatives, let them decide where to bury them. That is, the procedure for removing the remains from the Peter and Paul Cathedral is looming.
- Do you know whose remains these are?
According to German scientists, these are the remains of the Filatovs, doubles of Nicholas II. And Nicholas II had seven families of doubles. This is also a fact already known. The system of doubles began with Alexander the First. When his father, Emperor Paul the First, was killed as a result of a conspiracy, he was afraid that Paul's people would kill him. He gave the command to select three doubles for himself. Historically, it is known that there were two attempts on his life. Both times he remained alive because his doubles died. Alexander II had no doubles. Alexander the Third had doubles after the famous train crash in Borki. Nicholas II had doubles after Bloody Sunday 1905. Moreover, these were specially selected families. Only at the last moment did a very narrow circle of people find out which route and in which carriage Nicholas II would travel. And so the same departure of all three carriages took place. It is unknown which of them Nicholas II sat in. Documents about this are in the archives of the third department of the Office of His Imperial Majesty. And the Bolsheviks, having seized the archive in 1917, naturally received the names of all the doubles. Next, Sergei Davydovich Berezkin appears in Sukhumi, ideally similar to Nicholas II. His wife is Surovtseva Alexandra Fedorovna, a copy of the Empress. And he has children - Olga, Tatyana, Maria, Anastasia. They covered the king.
FSB. From there, at one time, in 1955, information was leaked that a grave near Yekaterinburg was opened in 1946. Although there is also a conclusion by Doctor of Medical Sciences Popov that the grave is 50 years old, not 80. As we say, in the Romanov case one question was answered - 20 more arose. The matter is so complicated. This is worse than the Kennedy assassination. Because the information is strictly dosed.
- What was the point of climbing into this grave in 1946?
Perhaps it was created at that time. Let us remember that in 1946, a resident of Denmark, Anna Andersen, tried to get royal gold. Starting the second process to recognize herself as Anastasia. Her first trial did not end in anything; it lasted until the mid-30s. Then she paused and in 1946 filed a lawsuit again. Stalin apparently decided that it was better to make a grave where “Anastasia” would lie than to explain these issues to the West. There are far-reaching plans here, many of which we don’t even know about. We can only guess.
- Did the Filatovs live at that time?
Don't know. Filatov's trail is lost.
- And what relatives did the scientist Bonte communicate with?
He communicated with Oleg Vasilyevich Filatov. This is the son of Filatov, who portrayed, according to some sources, Nikolai himself, according to others - Alexei. Obviously, Oleg himself heard the ringing, but does not know where it is. The German compared his analyzes with the German relatives of the Filatovs and with the Yekaterinburg remains. And I got a 100% match. Nobody denies this examination. They are silent about her. Although in Germany it has judicial status. No one has ever talked about doppelgängers. I once stuttered in one interview, they told me that I was crazy, although I was raising a problem that really existed.
- What do you intend to do in the future?
We would like to create some kind of discussion club and hold a series of Internet conferences. In September, the famous scientist-historian Vladlen Sirotkin is scheduled to come to Yekaterinburg. He is collecting documents on Russia's claims to Western debts. According to him, not only do we owe the West, but the West also owes us. The amount of debt is $400 billion. The Czech Republic, England, France, America, Japan, Germany, Italy owe us. A lot of money was sent to the West for the purchase of weapons during the First World War. These were collateral for future deliveries. But there were no deliveries. Our property is there. Here is the price of the issue, which really stands behind all this. We need to show that the problem is multifaceted. It is very important for us that we went against the government, the official authorities, including the government of the Sverdlovsk region. We were persecuted in order to establish historical truth.
There are many legends about the attitude of believers towards the remains attributed to the royal family and the unsolved mysteries of the emperor’s murder.
The royal family was canonized in 2000, and in the Peter and Paul Cathedral it became possible to perform a prayer service for the royal passion-bearers in the center of the temple. Those who believed in the Ekaterinburg remains went to Catherine’s chapel, those who did not believe did not go. Everything is very democratic and calm.
Archimandrite Alexander (Fedorov)States that his experience as a priest shows that the Orthodox people have a strong intuition and subtly sense falsehood. The veneration of the royal family has really been intensifying lately, and if we talk about the topographical expression of this veneration, the main place, of course, is Ganina Yama near Yekaterinburg and the Cathedral of the Royal Passion-Bearers, built on the site of the Ipatiev House.
Neither Porosenkov Log, where the remains were found in 91, nor the Catherine's chapel of the Peter and Paul Cathedral are such objects.
Bishop of Yegoryevsky Tikhon reported that the results of studies of the alleged remains of family members of the last Russian emperor Nicholas II, so-called “Ekaterinburg remains” are expected by the end of the second quarter of 2017.
We hope that, since the work is very voluminous and the report will be very large, somewhere by the end of the second quarter of this year we will be able to present the results: the investigators - to the Investigative Committee, and we - to the upcoming Council of Bishops,” said Bishop Tikhon.
As for the issue of recognizing the found remains as relics, here, according to the bishop, “only the Council of Bishops will make final conclusions,” which will be held from November 29 to December 2, 2017.
A representative of the Church noted that investigators “have already discovered a lot of interesting, fundamentally important things,” but for now this information cannot be disclosed, since the investigation is still ongoing.
In July 1991, a burial was opened on the Old Koptyakovskaya Road near Yekaterinburg, which contained the remains of nine people.
According to the study, they belonged to members of the royal family - Emperor Nicholas II, his wife Alexandra Feodorovna, their daughters - Olga, Tatiana, Anastasia, as well as people from their environment. Later, members of the imperial family were buried in the tomb of the Peter and Paul Cathedral in St. Petersburg.
On July 29, 2007, during archaeological excavations 70 km south of the first burial site, the remains of two more people were found. According to the examinations carried out, these are the remains of the Tsarevich Alexey and his sisters Maria.
In January 2011, the Investigative Committee of Russia completed the investigation into the criminal case into the death of the family of Nicholas II, recognizing the remains found near Yekaterinburg as authentic.
Skeptics immediately dismissed this news, because the emperor and his family were shot by the Bolsheviks. However, the alleged descendant of the imperial family claims that he has ironclad proof.
Nizhny Novgorod resident Konstantin Sevenard, in the male line, descends from French nobles who became Russified back in the 19th century. He claims that his grandmother Tselina Kshesinskaya is the daughter of the legendary ballerina Matilda Kshesinskaya and Nicholas II. Rumors about this stormy romance between the Russian autocrat and the prima of the Mariinsky Theater have haunted many historians all these years.
After studying old photos, the Sevenards came to the conclusion that they were much more noble than they previously thought. Fyodor Konstantinovich claims that the six-year-old boy in one of the photos from 1911 is his father. And on the left is ballerina Matilda Kshesinskaya with a stroller. But who is in it? Perhaps the answer is in another photo taken a little earlier. The ballet star's pose seems to be trying to hide her sagging waist. Fyodor is sure that in fact she was pregnant with his mother.
In the laboratory, DNA will be extracted from the cell material and compared with the data of Nicholas II, the site writes. In relatives, entire sections of the genetic year are repeated, so the likelihood of error is almost reduced to zero.
What is the connection between the remains of the royal family and the gold that Nicholas II allocated to create the Federal Reserve System - the US Federal Reserve System? Why is the Rothschild clan promoting pseudo-heirs Maria and George of Hohenzollern?
About a new examination of the remains of the royal family
QUESTION: – Father Dmitry! You have practically convinced us that the remains that were reburied in 1998 in the Peter and Paul Cathedral in St. Petersburg do not belong to Nicholas II and his family. But then what is surprising is the scale, the enormous state funds and power with which all these exhumations and examinations are carried out. Are you not embarrassed by the “Stakhanovite” deadlines that the Government Commission set for investigators and experts to confirm the truth of the artifacts?
HOLY DIMITRY: – Yes, on July 9, the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation signed an order on the creation of an interdepartmental working group on the study and reburial of the remains of Tsarevich Alexy Nikolaevich and Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna. The head of this group was the head of the Government apparatus S. Prikhodko. The very appointment of an official of such rank to this position testified to the importance of the planned matter. The reburial date was already set then – October 18 of this year. That is, a large group of experts and criminologists, led by the “unsinkable” investigator Solovyov, “took the lead” to quickly “crank out” everything - in three months. The pace is taken, one might say, cosmic. Under pressure from public demands, primarily from the Church, which insisted on additional investigative examinations, the deadline was moved to February 2016 - not by much, I must say.
Such a sharp start, or more precisely, the finishing acceleration, according to the falsification plan, has several causal layers. Let's look at the first one. It is connected, no less, with the future of America itself and the Rothschild clan in particular. I'll try to explain briefly.
At one time, Sovereign Nicholas II allocated 48.6 tons of Russian gold, which had been stored in Spain since the time of Alexander II, as gold collateral for the creation of the World Financial Center. With these funds, private American banks founded an organization called the US Federal Reserve System. Gold was allocated strictly “with return” - for only 100 years. From each transaction concluded by the Fed, the Russian Empire (and then the USSR and the Russian Federation) had to make a profit of 4%.
Both sides very unanimously seemed to have forgotten about this, although at the Bretton Woods Conference in 1944 the most important regulatory documents were signed, which enshrined our right to 88.8% of the Fed's assets (!).
And last winter, two large materials dedicated to the Tsar’s Gold appeared in the Argumenty Nedeli newspaper. The headlines were appropriate: “Robbers of the country. The time has come to pay our debts." The article caused the effect of a bomb exploding. It was read everywhere - from the Administration of the President and the Government to both chambers of the Russian Parliament. The Russian Foreign Ministry asked experts to draw up a certificate for the disclosure of these data to the UN. International law experts predicted our possible actions. The material was also carefully studied in the USA. Our “friends” were most interested in how this topic surfaced in the information field?
Then the plot developed according to the laws of the international detective genre. On the night of January 30-31, in the library of the Institute of Scientific Information for Social Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences, almost the entire archive burned down in a very strange fire. Among the 5.5 million copies of publications destroyed by the fire are the most complete, and in some cases the only collections of documents of the League of Nations in Russia, the creation of which was initiated by Emperor Nicholas II. All archival documents of the successor to the League of Nations - the UN and Parliamentary reports of the USA, England, Italy, dating from the end of the 18th century, were burned. By a strange coincidence, all materials were not digitized.
A week later there was a sharp “response” from Washington: a day later – on the morning of February 1, 2015 – a document storage building in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn caught fire in New York. The fire was extinguished for more than a day. More than 4 million boxes of documents burned. Although in all the American ones it was reported that nothing important was stored there, information was “hot on the heels” that it was in this secondary archive that the most important Fed documents were deliberately hidden (it’s funny that both storage facilities had sophisticated fire extinguishing systems installed, and documents and in Russia and the USA - not digitized).
The Moscow INION library and the New York archive contained very important documents related to the history of the League of Nations and the World Financial System, the creation of which was initiated by. In particular, in the burned New York archives there were papers indicating that the Rothschild clan financed the election campaign of President Woodrow Wilson in 1912.
It was the Rothschilds in 1913, against the will of Congress and the Senate, who literally forced Wilson to transfer into their private ownership the Federal Reserve System, created in place of the World Financial System and based on the gold of Russia and China. Thus, according to deposits, the Federal Reserve's share of 88.8% still belongs to Russia (the remaining 11.2% belongs to the Chinese).
– Father Dmitry, this is all excitingly interesting. But what does all this have to do with the topic of reburial of the Remains of the Royal Family?
- The most direct. Now Russia is under the severe yoke of economic sanctions. Recently there was a rumor, allegedly from experts overseas, that the United States is secretly preparing such sanctions against us, after the introduction of which the country’s financial and banking systems will simply collapse. The relevant Russian structures took this very seriously. And there are reasons for this.
First. All money our country receives for exports goes through the Bank for International Settlements, headquartered in Basel. The US controls it almost entirely through its private banks. Cutting off our entire foreign exchange earnings is a matter of a few seconds.
Second. Under the “roof” of the largest American financial clans, by decision of the US Congress and Senate, the Department of International Monetary Control was created with headquarters in Thailand. This department is under the “roof” of the largest American financial clans and works strictly under their control. All transactions on international accounts in any world currency or in gold equivalent go through this department. And any major project that involves the movement of currency across borders requires permission from this body.
Third. All foreign exchange earnings in US dollars from Russian exports do not go directly to the accounts of the Central Bank or the Government of the Russian Federation. They are taken into account on the accounts of the Federal Reserve System servers and are reflected as a “mirror” on the servers of the Russian Central Bank. Thus, with an instant signal from Washington, Russia may find itself in complete international financial isolation.
And all this is the legacy of the 80-90s, when our country was again brought to its knees, this time by the “Americans”...
The main thing is to move on. When transferring Russian gold, special agreements were drawn up in six copies, three of which were kept in America, three were transferred to Russia. 12 “gold” certificates (for 48.6 thousand tons) to bearer were also issued.
At this time, only two original agreements and all “gold” certificates are stored in Russia. The third original, which belonged to the Russian Empress Maria Feodorovna, was hidden in a safe deposit box in one of the Swiss banks after her emigration. However, in 2013, the year when the gold had to be given back, the United States managed to “push through” the Swiss Federal Law “On International Assistance in Tax Matters.” The location of the document becomes known and it is confiscated... And a real hunt is underway for the two originals remaining in Russia.
Everything I’m talking about is well known to the leadership of our country, which presents every opportunity to strangle the Russian financial system through the Bank for International Settlements and the Department of International Currency Control. But in general, Russia is ripe for moving away from the enslaving colonial dependence imposed in the 90s of the last century.
At a time when Russia is taking its first steps (albeit timid and inconsistent in some places, which are fashionable to talk about everywhere these days) towards liberation from colonial captivity, there are powerful forces related to the centers of major decision-making that have recently been lobbying for the so-called the “heir” scenario – new attempts to give official status to Maria Romanova and her son George Hohenzollern.
– Do you mean the official head of the Imperial House of Romanov, Maria Vladimirovna Kulikovskaya-Romanova and her son Georgiy?
- Yes. These are the ones I mean. This whole “gallop” with the urgent recognition of falsified remains is part of the whole sinister fuss around these self-proclaimed figures. Competent sources testify that the Rothschilds have already invested more than five billion dollars (!) in the official recognition of Maria Romanova and George Hohenzollern as the rightful heirs of the Russian Emperor Nicholas II. But for them, the game is worth the candle: in return, the Rothschilds receive a complete waiver of all debts of the Russian Empire, including the Tsar’s gold, which formed the basis of the world power of the Federal Reserve System and, as a result, the United States.
During perestroika, things almost came to the coronation of Maria Vladimirovna; even tableware was made with the personal monograms of the self-proclaimed autocrats. But Boris Yeltsin saw this as an attempt on his power (although it was under Yeltsin that Georgy received a Russian passport under his mother’s (!) surname Romanov) and prevented this.
After V.V. became President. Putin, the Rothschild case has not died out at all. Maria Vladimirovna, with the support of some oligarchs and “their” purchased officials, began traveling around the country, including on a plane assigned to D.A. Medvedev. At the same time, she generously distributed to governors and other senior officials orders that can only be awarded by the Russian Emperor, in particular, the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called Apostle. The grateful “boyars” did not pay attention to the fact that they were being awarded by the daughter of a high-ranking fascist officer. The list of awardees is very large and equally interesting...
Then the unexpected happened: the head of the clan, Nathaniel Charles Rothschild, at the age of 79, suddenly fell into a coma. At this time, Russia literally stole its “unsinkable aircraft carrier” – Crimea – from under the nose of the United States. And it was decided to speed up the process of recognition of Maria Vladimirovna and Georgy.
A certain analytical note (“compiled at the very top”) on the preparation of the official recognition of the figure of “Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna and her son George” was circulating around the offices of the State Duma. The key phrase of this document: “The fact of introducing the institution of monarchy and hereditary rule of the country (empress Maria Vladimirovna and heir George), with real levers of control in the hands of the prime minister, supported by the majority of the country’s population, will make it possible to pass the peak economic loads of the coming decades less painfully.” This paper did not find the support of the majority of State Duma deputies at that time. Then there was a second attempt to “enter” the Duma, but through regional parliaments.
In the summer, a very wealthy (according to Forbes) deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the Leningrad Region, Vladimir Petrov, spoke about the bill “On the special status of representatives of the royal family.” But due to the scandal over Petrov’s departure from United Russia, which his “senior comrades” in the party did not forgive, the bill was postponed again.
The Church has repeatedly, including through Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin, spoken about the possibility of reviving the monarchy in modern Russia. Yes, but which monarchy? Chaplin himself “by decree of the head of the Russian Imperial House, Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna Romanova, was “co-ranked” with the Imperial Order of Saint Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir.” No comments needed...
Attempts to push through the Heir project, despite the described opposition from some patriotic officials, will only intensify in the near future. It is extremely important for those who really rule the United States to destroy even the memory of those documents that I spoke about earlier. Otherwise, their entire empire, based on ownership of the Federal Reserve System, that is, the world’s “printing press,” will simply collapse. This cannot be allowed, especially during the division of the inheritance of the head of the N. Rothschild clan.
This is what underlies the political and economic reasons for such hasty excavations - more precisely, picking in the graves and dancing on the bones of Yekaterinburg remains. This is not only a falsification of the Royal Remains - it is a desecration of the very Shrine of the Autocratic Russian power, since Mary and George have nothing to do with the succession to the throne, neither actual, nor legal, nor moral. For those interested in these persons, in particular, their ancestor - Grand Duke Kirill Vladimirovich, there is information on many resources.
At the same time, George of Hohenzollern stated that he expects Russia to officially recognize his family as a historical dynasty: “We simply want to return to a modern and democratic state, thanks to a legal act that would give us the status of a historical dynasty.”
The “Grand Duke” emphasized: “And if the Russian people one day decide to restore the monarchy, they will always have a legitimate heir in the imperial house in the person of my mother.”
Well, in conclusion to the topic about the “Heir”, for reference: the “prince” was an inspector of the European Atomic Energy Community, and later held high positions in the Russian Norilsk Nickel.
