#1 I'm confused, didn't the Romanov's get wiped out /before/ WWII? Are they zombies?

#2 Driven out, yes, Silentbrick. But the heir to the head of the Russian imperial house, George Romanov, just married in St. Petersburg — the Tsar and his family were murdered back in the day, but there were and are loads of Russian royals who survived in exile.

#3 Everyone in Nicholas II's bloodline was wiped out by the Bolsheviks in 1918.

Some others in the Grand Duke Nicholas Nikolaevich's bloodline survived.

One of them recently was wed in St.Petersburg

#6 Romanov(a) was resurrected recently, in Hollywood. But she was stiffed, as per the clan's fate, by the new Bolsheviks (of Disney)

#7 Former soldiers of Nazi Germany are being tested for involvement in the genocide of the peoples of the USSR

So, if they were 18 in 1945, the last year of the war, that would make them about 94 years old today. You think they're going to find many?

#8 I bet they could find those guilty of killing more Russians if they focused on the Soviet period.

#9 I bet they could find those guilty of killing more Russians if they focused on the Soviet period.

I guess you didn't bother watching any part of the video.

And as an aside, they are focusing on the Soviet period
