And why wouldn't they have been? After all according to the Communists they were "enemies of the Russian people." (Hogwash in my opinion). But anyway if I did live in Russia (I am Slavic by heritage and according to family records equally Russian and Slovak). I would support this party in a heartbeat. Comes with my nature of respect to old lines and institutions and stuff like that. In my opinion really the Romanov's would be the most likely family in the event of a new Tsar for family because of the simple question of how much of Russia's old nobility is left? So it is pretty much reduced to the Romanov family. Mind I am not certain how popular a move that would be with the people. We are talking about restoring a institution that was throw out by the Russian people. Yet if the people can be convinced having the Tsar back is a good thing then it should be done. Yet caution must temper such a move. The people will be needed to support the Tsar, initially unless you want to rely on force to maintain power. Really the Tar must use his good will carefully lest things turn against him. Really it is the maneuvering of politics. SO caution is needed for such a thing. So with that I must conclude with this: God save the Tsar!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623721153002721356.post-27969833467720843582011-02-22T19:40:13.817+00:002011-02-22T19:40:13.817+00:00The proposal is to elect the Tsar through this cou...The proposal is to elect the Tsar through this council or Zemsky Sobor. The line of succession is a matter of dispute, complicated even further, of course, by the various legends and conspiracy theories that either part or all of the Romanov family survived the revolution. It's a subject about which I hope to write something fairly soon.Owen Polleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00567787385096905811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623721153002721356.post-35871626550389272722011-02-22T18:59:25.430+00:002011-02-22T18:59:25.430+00:00Does this group propose to elect a Tsar from the R...Does this group propose to elect a Tsar from the Romonov family or does it propose to begin with a clean slate?<br /><br />Looking at Wikipedia, I see there is a dispute as to who holds the representation to the throne<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_of_succession_to_the_Russian_ThroneSeymour Majornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623721153002721356.post-87672779549358469332011-02-21T14:58:20.609+00:002011-02-21T14:58:20.609+00:00Only in Frederick Forsythe novels I suspect Dil.Only in Frederick Forsythe novels I suspect Dil.Owen Polleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00567787385096905811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623721153002721356.post-45858757449654654482011-02-21T14:45:03.377+00:002011-02-21T14:45:03.377+00:00Do the Czarists have a cats chance in hell?Do the Czarists have a cats chance in hell?Dilettantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532639584338090676noreply@blogger.com
