Spell her Highness name correctly- it"s Anastasia Romanov, and properly, her Imperial Highness, the Grand Duchess Anastasia, by tiself (Anastasia Romanov) was as bad a usage as (Betty Windsor) would be for Queen Elizabeth II. I have read several books both pro and con on the Anastasia theme and om of the opinion she did survive the Revolution , eventualy reaching Berlin (not Paris) and around l922-23, Manhattan. Anastasi was a cause celebre of the twenrties ranking up there with Coco Chanel, Isadora Duncan and similar events. There was too much clean white smoke for all of This to be propaganda or Hoax. by the way int he Ukrainian Dialect it is A"nastasI"I"awith ten letters rather than nine and pronounced-AHN-Na Staaz-ia, ratehr than the usual fashion of Anastasia whichlends itself to (stasia) and Stacy ) as nicknames. I once daw a girl who wa a dead ringer for her, perhaps an actress, she had a Red sable Russian Hat(restricted to the nobility and later, Field Grade officers of The KGB(Major/Inspector and above) and boots, and also a beuaitful full growhn Russian wolfhound dog! This was up Journal square around Halloween in l997. |
