Achieve The Romanov Files, 19181953: A Non-fiction Novel Crafted By Harry Poe Listed As Paper Copy
fact this book has more thanis proof of how little society cares about statutory rape or child marriage if the victim simply happens to be a boy.
I dont mind dark stuff in fiction, not even when it happens to characters based on real people, or characters that I love, or characters I have come to love, it is fiction after all.
What I DO mind is when the dark and immoral content is presented in a positive or at least neutral light by the narrative, like it shamelessly is presented in this book, THAT infuriates me, and I simply cant stand by trash.
The worst part is that the author makes the characters justify his shitty decision with arguments literal pedophiles use: "he is mature for his age", "not like the other boys", "he never played with other boys which is simply historically false by the way, "but he said yes he was actually manipulated into it, but even if that wasnt the case, children can't consent", and another particularly disgusting one: "he is going to die anyways meaning chronically ill children don't deserve protection from pedophiles".
If he makes the characters question this gross marriage, they still rationalize it because it is "necessary to save the dynasty" or whatever bullshit, the same way the Bolsheviks justify immoral shit like murdering children to "protect the revolution" or whatever.
The author simply isn't selfaware enough to see the irony,
Something else: The author is either insane or simply didnt do much research if he thinks the real Maria would let any of this happen to her little brother by her own free will, there is also a witness account of Maria crying after her fathers abdication, but the author writes her thinking that she "has never cried before" in an incredibly cringe and inaccurate "tough girls don't cry" inner monologue, so if the pedophilia apologism wasnt enough, this book is also hilariously out of character.
I forgot to add that the author is also delusional, he didn't write this as an alternative universe fiction book, he actually thinks this is a "nonfiction book", meaning he thinks Maria and Alexei really survived or could have, that the disturbing scenario he wrote about actually happened.
He thinks the real Maria would have willingly given Alexei up to be molested by a pedophile, Bitch, please. Fuck this book. No one could have survived the massacre of the Romanov family in Yekaterinburg on the night of July,, The massacre was brutal and effective, Yet, after the collapse of the Soviet Union when the bodies of the imperial family were finally recovered from their secret burial place in the woods, two bodies were missing.
The little boy was missing, and one of the daughters was missing, The identification of the Romanov skeletons was the first great forensic use of DNA evidence, All agreed that the body of the Tsarevich Alexis was missing, but opinion differed about which daughter was missing, Americans, long enamored of the romantic story about the escape of Anastasia insisted that she was missing, The Russians, on the other hand, examined the bones and concluded that an older daughter was missing, They believed the missing person was the third daughter, Marie,
How could it be possible for two children to escape No one could have escaped the execution, Yet, it would have been possible to escape the House of Special Purposes several weeks before the execution, Many unexplained events took place in the ten days leading up to the execution, The local guard of Ural Russians was replaced by a special detachment, Until then, the imperial family was allowed to receive gifts of food and wine from their admirers, The rulers in Moscow had planned to put the family on trial, and they had plenty of time to remove the Romanovs from Ekaterinburg to a place of safety far away
from the advancing White army.
After the events of that dreadful night, Lenin said that the children were still alive and safe because he believed they were dead.
In this telling of the story, Stalin would insist that all the children were dead because he knew that two of them still lived.
This story follows the desperate escape of Marie and the new young Tsar Alexis as they make their way across the face of Russia.
Marie, the daughter who nursed her mother and excelled at foreign languages while constantly putting on plays in the palace, had the unique set of skills needed by the royalists to preserve the Heir and secure the crown.
This story also follows the growing paranoia of Stalin into madness as he destroys millions of people in his effort to hide his greatest secret: it was his fault that the children escaped.
This story mixes the historical circumstances of Stalins Soviet state with the many unexplained and inconsistent aspects of Stalins behavior.
Why did he wait so long to have Trotsky killed when he thought nothing of sending millions to their deaths Why did he eliminate some of those associated with the killing of the tsars family but let others live for so long
This telling of the story of the killing of the tsars family explores how a variety of unrelated details could all converge to explain one another in terms of Stalins attempt to cover up his unwitting complicity in the one event that threatened the survival of the Soviet regime.
