Perhaps we could scour the steppes for descendants of Ivan IV looking for such worthy candidates, to see if they can imitate their infamous ancestor in marrying seven times, murdering the Metropolitan of Moscow (a canonised saint), and bludgeoning their own son to death.rabidgandhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07775744049172133221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25740524.post-22550357827736189062015-06-27T07:56:54.420-04:002015-06-27T07:56:54.420-04:00rabidgandhi, indeed it is to be said that the Czar...rabidgandhi, indeed it is to be said that the Czars preceding the Romanovs were better.If only we had such worthy candidates for the crown today.

Perhaps one of the family will realize that they are the spiritual and political heirs to Russian authority. It is time to undo the Communist Revolution entirely, and this means a return to those undying principles 'Autocracy & Orthodoxy'. Before the century is done, a Czar should be crowned by the Holy Church to lead Russian in these perilous times against her enemies that seek only the destruction of Russian culture and the Christian religion.<br /><br />Clear Watershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067495451323861530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25740524.post-62429323967294233142015-06-24T22:22:43.169-04:002015-06-24T22:22:43.169-04:00According to the Romanovs, monarchists need not ap...According to the Romanovs, monarchists need not apply:<br /><br />A spokesman for the Romanov family, Alexander Zakatov, said Romanova is willing to move to Russia and has no claims on any property or political power, but wants the status of the imperial house as part of Russia's “historical heritage” recognized by law, Izvestia reported.<br /><br />He also said the “imperial house does not engage in any political struggle” and would not want their return to the country to be used for the political purposes of “for instance, monarchists or opposition activists,” Izvestia reported.rabidgandhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07775744049172133221noreply@blogger.com
