Alix and her husband Nicholas made a handsome couple
and were building ( a largely female ) dynasty for the
future of Russia.
Its brutal and tragic the way it all ended for the Royal Family
.. slaughtered by the Bolshevics in a dark, damp cellar.... their fate as tragic as the French Royal Family in the early 1790s
All these years later we learn that a ship left New York with 20 million gold bullion in its hold destined for Lenin and his followers who, at that time was exiled in Switzerland.
The ship was impounded en route, by the Royal Navy
but under pressure.... directly from the US Government, they released the ship and it continued on its way.
That collossal amount of money made its way to Lenin and his revolutionaries and enabled them to take over Russia with all the blood curdling consequences that followed.
Just why should New York bankers be funding a communist take over of Russia ?
Its all very mysterious... in this world, things are not what they seem !
