Imagine this: Russian intelligence creates a blend of the remains of the imperial Romanov family, old Russian “Rurikid” aristrocratic families and some elite German-European bloodlines, according to the old “Pauline Laws”. Putin and the orthodox patriarch (who works for the intelligence service) hold a sham referendum to designate one of these aristocrats as the new formal head of the monarchy. This person can then designate who becomes a grand duke, who can marry whom etc. and rebuild the whole imperial-aristocratic landscape.
Russian intelligence then uses this setup to claim more and more authority over Europe and other places (like old style colonies). Just as Putin talked about Russian Rurikids 1000 years ago in the interview with Tucker Carlson as the basis for claiming Ukrainian territory and denying the Ukrainian identity.
There is still enough personnel to choose from today. Remaining Romanovs are allowed to marry into preselected Rurikid and German families:
Succession of the Imperial House of Russia
By 1911, the Imperial Family of Russia had grown in numbers, counting 25 Grand Dukes and Princes but also 14 Grand Duchesses and Princesses. Besides the truly Reigning Families, many German and Austrian Families came to be considered of Equal Rank and were known as “Mediatized”, being listed in the then prestigious Almanach de Gotha. Even today, the list of Mediatized families includes families of great historical and political importance, such as the Arenberg, Croy, Fürstenberg, Ligne and Sayn-Wittgenstein, just to mention a few. From the point of view of a twentieth century Russian, less and less bound by Germanic Dynastic traditions, it appeared ridiculous that a Russian Grand Duke could take as a bride a Countess Függer von Babenhausen, but not a Princess Obolensky!
With the young generation of Princes and Princesses growing up, the problem of marriages became an actual worry. A partial solution was found in 1911 when the Pauline Laws were amended. As for Equal Rank marriages, this remained the obligation of obtaining the agreement of the Sovereign to a marriage. Such were the cases of Princess Tatiana Constantinovna, who in 1911 married Prince Constantine Bagration-Moukhransky, and Princess Irina Alexandrovna, who married Prince Felix Youssupov in 1914, both with the unequivocal agreement of the Sovereign. Prior to giving his agreement, the Sovereign requested from the two Princesses that they renounce any right to the Throne of Russia for themselves and their issues.
At the time of the start of the World War I there was already a current of thought among the younger Romanovs that it was time to jettison the obsolete purely Germanic group of Mediatized families and create a purely Russian equivalent. Considered of “Equal Rank” would be the most outstanding and purely Russian Rurikid families such as: Baryatinsky, Belosselsky-Belozersky, Dolgoruky, Gagarin, Lobanov-Rostovsky, Obolensky, Odoevsky, Repnin and Tatishtchev. Also considered would be esteemed families who, just as the Romanov family (Zaharjin-Yurjev), descended from the same forefather, Andrey Kobyla: the Babarykin, Kolychev, Konovnitzin, Lodyginsky, Lopukhin, Neplujev and Sheremetev families.
And finally families who had given wives to the Tsars of Russia and Muscovy such as Apraxin, Grushetsky, Miloslavsky, Naryshkin, Saltykov, Sobakin, Streshnev, Tcherkassky, and possibly a few others.
The remaining Romanovs listed on their organization’s website typically have mothers from the US, Britain and some European bloodlines.
The Imperial House of Russia, House of Romanov
Soviet intelligence creates the new mythology
Even decades ago, Russian intelligence was cultivating an operation targeting high-level Western individuals and circles. According to Catherine Belton’s source, a “young Vladimir Putin”, who was already with the KGB, had visited a Russian princess from a very old family in her castle in Hessen, Germany. The princess and her relatives had fled from the communists. She married into the “von Metternich” clan.
Later in life she published various books insinuating that there had been a powerful christian-conservative underground movement in the USSR which preserved the true nature of imperial mother Russia. She made it sound as if Putin and Sobchak had been members of the underground. The central communist authorities were ultimately toppled by this underground, according to the tale.
Military secrets find their way to Russia through aristocratic cluster
It would not just be a spectacular propaganda move to bring back a monarchy controlled by Russian intelligence. 1000+ years of history in all of Eurasia.
High ranking military officers and planners in NATO are often aristocratic, just like in old times. In countries like Britain the royal family (which is really a huge family cluster) has access to all secret intelligence. Various European intelligence agencies and even the American FBI considered Lord Louis Mountbatten a suspect of the highest order. His communist backchannels to the USSR, his communist wife and the impression that he sabotaged NATO from the very start. Everything he touched went sideways and the Soviets benefited. He messed up the withdrawal of Britain from India. His close collaborator General Hastings Ismay, 1. Baron Ismay, became Secretary General of NATO.
Lord Louis Mountbatten took his secrets to the grave when he died in a terrorist attack. Who knows how many moles he had installed and protected. In later years we had relatives of his such as Prince Michael of Kent.
The younger son of Prince George, Duke of Kent, and Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark, he is a grandson of George V, nephew of Edward VIII and George VI, and first cousin of Elizabeth II. Michael’s mother was also a first cousin of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, consort of Elizabeth II, making him both a second cousin and first cousin once removed to Charles III.
His mother was Princess Marina, a daughter of Prince Nicholas of Greece and Denmark and Grand Duchess Elena Vladimirovna of Russia.
Prince Michael of Kent had multiple tours of duty during a military career that spanned twenty years, including a number of appointments on the Defence Intelligence Staff.
He is known for his love of Russia, which he would visit twice a year, and The Prince Michael of Kent Foundation works to benefit heritage, culture, health and post-graduate business education in Russia according to the royal website.
His fascination may stem from his relation to Nicholas II, the last Tsar of the Russian Empire who was overthrown and killed in the Russian revolution. The prince bares a striking resemblance to the Russian monarch who was the first cousin of his grandmother Grand Duchess Elena Vladimirovna.
Prince Michael received a large amount of media attention after there were reports he was ‘selling access’ to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s political representatives.
Prince Michael is an active Freemason. He is the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Mark Master Masons, and Provincial Grand Master of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Middlesex.
Prince Michael speaks fluent Russian and has a strong interest in Russia, where he is a well-known figure (he is a former recipient of the Order of Friendship). He is also the second cousin of Maria Vladimirovna, Grand Duchess of Russia, who is a claimant to the headship of the Imperial Family of Russia. They share the same great-grandfather, Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich. Michael is the patron of organisations which have close ties with Russia, including the Russo-British Chamber of Commerce and the St Gregory’s Foundation.
