I am mesmerized by the late Russian royal family. I was not aware about their lives and deeds until recently.

Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna of Russia was daughter of Princess Dagmar of Denmark and Alexander III. The other child of the pair, Nicholas, Olga's elder brother, later became Czar Nicholas II.

Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna of Russia was daughter of British Princess Alice and Grand Duke Ludvig IV of Hesse and the Rhine. Princess Alice was daughter of Queen Victoria. Elizabeth's younger sister Princess Alix (Alexandra Feodorovna) was Czar Nicholas's wife.

Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna escaped to Denmark, then lived a modest life in Campellville, Cooksville, Toronto. Her mother, Princess Dagmar (Maria Fyodorovna) survived son's execution by 10 years.

According to Trotsky's diary, it was Lenin and Sverdlov who ordered the execution of Czar's family. (Alexis Scherbatow, The New York Times, July 17, 1991) To this day, Russian government denies such orders were made.

Czar with his immediate family and Grand Duchess Elizabeth Fyodorovna with others were killed by Bolsheviks 17-18 July 1918 in Yekaterinburg's Ipatiev House and a mining pit 18 km from Alapaevsk's Napolnaya School on the road to Siniachikha.

I forgot my passport and was late for the Russian elections in Toronto last Sunday. I was going to vote for Yabloko. According to the "official", state-propaganda-affected data, Yabloko scored between 1 and 2%. I can't believe the government party scored 70% in the poll stations abroad, higher than in Russia itself. The 99% scored by it in the raped and killed Chechnya is also appalling.

When I talked and communicated with few friends and acquaintances in the last 24 hours, it was a pleasure to find common grounds and share some plans with them.

I am worried about the sale of LiveJournal to SUP. Here is a picture worth many words I copied from someone else. It is a Stalin's portrait in the social realism style, with a question, "'sup?" ("What's up?") flying off his mouth.



In the good news, I found it important that Wikimedia and Advogato are officially not-for-profit, unlike LiveJournal.
