Interview with Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna, Head of the Russian Imperial House 

I really hope that the church decides to give Alexei and Maria the final rest with their family.

I think it is HORRIBLE. That English King George did not RESCUE HIS COUSINS AS HE SAID HE WOULD. HORRENDOUS

I met this lovely lady in 1994 and in fact had dinner with her and her young son at the time! She told me many fascinating stories of royals in general and was and I believe still recognised as the rightful heir to the Russian throne and at the time this was recognised by Boris Yeltsin and her son was invited to the naval academy in Russia§! She spoke English with the clearest of accents and with Received Pronunciation and her Spanish, French and Russian were just as good. An incredible lady and we enjoyed quite a few Johnny Walkers and soda!

Romanovs Family , is not the enemy of the People ,there are Victims of Political Mentality and Hate .

I am not an expert on Russian history, but it is my view that most people don't view the Romanovs as criminals, but rather as unfortunate people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time. To assassinate Tsar Nicholas and his family, in the way it was done, was tragic. I don't think the Romanovs image needs to be re-habilitated. HIstory is what it is.

I appreciate this channel and learning about Russian history, especially the Romanov family. I discovered 5 years ago that I have Russian ancestry, and I am trying to learn all that I can about all of my ancestral homelands. Thank You from the USA 🇺🇸

If Nicholas rules Russia today, he would've been the most famous and adored Monarch. He wouldn't have to lead his army to war, his children might have been the most photographed in the world, people and science would have been more understanding of Alexei, Alexandra might have been a patron/president of hemophiliac society , the law may have allowed female Russian heir, and Nicholas' character as a family man will be more important to the society than an emperor. Oh, and they will not rely much on rasputin and gossips.

I think perhaps the last word on this should be left to Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna in her biography. published in 1964. ''I cannot think that there will ever be a Tsar in Moscow again. The changes have been too great.........a new age exists that has developed without us. I am convinced that to dream about a Romanov restoration is a pure waste of time today.''

I met her father and her mother at Lesna in France in 1984. He was a wonderful man. Very pious people. God love them.

She is the bloody princess farthest from Nicholas II. Her grandfather was a member of the Red Army. She is not the head of Romanov's family. Roman's head of the family is Olga Romanov. Nicholas II has a sister. Nicholas II's sister has descendants

I'm happy she is standing up for her past family and be there voice.

What an extraordinairy personnality ! A lady highly educated ! She reminds me the staunch character of Empress Catherine II ...her great, great, great great Aunt ! And this Pearl necklace suits her so well. A really Imperial lady !

Your Majesty, please take my reverence for this interesting interview, high moral teaching and kindness. How long all of us, Russians and friends of the House have been waiting for the book "Romanovs. Royal Martyrs" to be published, full of very rare photos and truth we have been waiting for so long! "O, wind, the sky traveler, look how white snowflakes are obedient to thee!" I wish melody of waltz is played for all Romanovs and friends of the House! Your Majesty, please take my reverence and gratitude. Boris Sergeev. Saint-Petersburg.

Her mother is from Georgian royal house, so she's half Bagrationi❤️

I think she is choosing her words extremely well, on purpose!

she has such a motherly face and just warmth surrounding her

thank you Maam go for it.we pray!

It’s horrible what happened to Nicolas 2nd and his family unforgivable

I would love to live to witness a Royal Family, back in Russia.

She has the aura of a Queen.

Thank you for this video. I don't know much about Maria, she seems to care about Russia... I am going to research regarding her life. The pics of the Royal family are beautiful. Lots of love from Canada. God Bless.💞😊🍁🙏

She is not a Grand Duchess. As per Alexander III in 1886: The title grand duke belonged henceforward only to sons and paternal grandsons of the emperors of Russia, and grand duchess correspondingly only to daughters and paternal granddaughters, as well as to legitimate wives of grand dukes. Maria V. is a great-great granddaughter of Alexander II, thus, no longer a grand duchess.

Czar Nicholas II and his entire family are now Saints in the Russian Orthodox Church and the bodies have been proven to be real from DNA evidence and the stories of where they were originally buried and the bodies later found.

We must remember her descent. Her G. Grandmother , Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna did her level best to undermine both Nicholas II and Alexandra Feodorovna. In March 1917 her grandfather, Grand Duke Kyrill broke his oath to Nicholas, and declared his allegiance to the Provisional Government. As Matta Von Sigmund has said below, it's complicated.

What a fascinating interview! HIH Maria looks every bit an Empress-in-waiting. I hope that Tsar Nicholas and his family are soon reunited and get to rest in peace, especially poor Alexei. What kind of monster would shoot a 14 yr old haemophiliac?

Home is where you make it and your roots are where you stem from. It might not always be the best to go back and it’s always best to learn, remember, forgive and alter our history to come as we continue to evolve!!! May each family member Rest In Peace! Amen 🙏

they were not convicted but murdered

It’s open minded enough to account for human life as an entirety and not segregate like most have been told was the way to go when it really isn’t the best way and unity is the best way, peaceful unity and trust, loyalty and a strong foundation so you can keep it going or continue to evolve! That’s important to survive in today’s era! Peacefully!

Absolutely! Give expectations and make them clear

Correction !!! She is the disputed so called 'Head of the Imperial House'. Thank you

How can Maria Validimirovna be a Grand Duchess? I thought only a daughter, daughter-in-law, granddaughter or granddaughter-in-law of a Tsar is entitled to become a Grand Duchess. Wouldn't she have to be a granddaughter of Tsar Alexander III to be the Romanov head and a Grand Duchess? She was born in 1953? Isn't the most she can be a Princess? Or were the rules changed because of 1918, and Grand Duke Validimir became titular Emperor making Grand Duchess Maria the only child of Tsar Validimir in exile?

Looks like her and Elizabeth got a lot of work ahead, this is just what I've been waiting to hear. My claim goes back before Queen Victoria...and I would love to see Russia and our people restored to it's former glory.

If Nicholas had of embraced constitutional monarchies instead of absolute power there family would still be on the throne today... also a democratic parliament probably wouldn't have declared war on Austria-Hungary thus WWI wouldn't have happened.

Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna will be a Great asset for Russia and will be a great ambassador of the Motherland and Russians worldwide image. I don't understand what Vladimir is waiting for as the Orthodox church seems pretty much eager to reestablish the crown state. Thank you for your channel, it is a real delight to watch your channel content. Good wishes.

God bless you Maria, you every right speak out for you family,

They were a very handsome family and I hope they all get the right justice that they and Russia deserve, since no family deserves to go through what the Romanovs experienced that one fateful day.

Forever OTMA and Alexei To me Maria was the best all the love and respect for the Romanov even if this happen a long time ago and it doesn't matter which country we come from this Family was a good exemple To all of us

Healing will take time and it will happen if you choose to take the action steps to heal! 😊

Wait a minute that's the duchess of Russia wow she looks beautiful and gorgeous and a proud woman I can see why she's the duchess

When they return: REIGN TO MAKE THE FOES FEAR, BY THE ORTHODOX TSAR MAY GOD SAVE THE TSAR!

Funny thing about us monarchists these days, we will always defend monarchism no matter what family.

In terms of the monarch being restored the only way it would legitimately be able to be restored is if they were considered figureheads similar to Great Britain however would be much lesser power as they would have no political power at all. However that being said I’m not even sure she could be considered a legitimate air to the throne as there are other people that have legitimate claims to the throne from the royal family.

I can see she is a strong woman!

Restore the house and show the world the real criminals and traitors.

All royal families should be respected because they were the people who started the country

Hi everyone! A lady named Anna Anderson was thought to be the Tsar's youngest daughter. A hospital still had Anna Anderson's medical test information, which proved she was not related to any Romanov. Anna Anderson had been so badly wounded from the first world war she was never well again mentally or physically.

She would be a great Empress of Russia.

Very interesting !

Constitutional Monarchies are the richest countries in The World ! Family of Romanov on the throne , and Mr. Putin as First Minister

Well, sadly there are 4 people that claims the the Russian thrones, and to be honest they have all a point sadly... Even if we follow the Russian Empire's laws of successions of 1906, again, sadly, the current dynastycal disputes between these 4 people and their lines is that complicated that even the 1906 laws couldn't resolve it...

Interesting to listen to the Grand Duchess, but it seems like an quite old interview. Is there any new interviews with the with Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna? If there are, where are they to find?

I recognize Maria Vladimirovna as heir to the Russian throne because she follows the line of succession of her grandfather, Kirill Vladimirovich Romanov (1876-1938), who was in third place behind Nicholas, Alexei and Miguel Romanov in 1917.

Hopefully one day, Russia could be respected, and that the present power in Russia stops its reign of oligarchy Plutocracy that is in power for 22 years. May Russia become a true free nation, with a respected and proper state leader! Hopefully the Romanovs can be the positive symbol that Russia needs.

They deserve justice

This is my first time hearing her speak. Very interesting conversation.

🫱King Alfonso of Spain wanted to save the Romanovs, he sent a telegram to his ambassador on March 22, where he requested the Russian Government to allow the departure of the Romanovs, offering them asylum in Spain. But the Romanovs thought that their English cousin would save them, so they refused asylum in Spain. They could have lived if they had accepted King Alfonso's proposal. When he learned of their deaths he could only cry and regret not having done more for the Romanovs.😢

Head?, but Tzar sister lived in Canada, this lady is a memeber but not the head I believe.

The royal family of Russia should reclaim the throne

Oh my God! I love your views! Your assessment and appeal to The Common Human! UNITY. Let's unite for All People. Open Trade. Financial opportunities. Education. Safety and humanity. Majestic and Holy blessings upon all people. Royalty will smile and gently guide Russia to humanity, nit blindly following in fear if The KGB and the hate. Perhaps The Russian military will decide the fate of the people, not a dictator.

Yes, just because one family member or a few acted the way they did, doesn’t have anything to do with the other family members nor does it mean that the other family members think or would act the same way the other did! Each individual is unique in their own way and each decides to act the way they choose, especially in today’s era. We aren’t living in the past and if you are then it’s important to forgive the past, learn from it, begin to heal and then evolve as a human being and move forward towards your happiness in life! It will happen if you choose to make it happen. :) Yes, unite and build! ❤️

I am always hoping for the best for the House of Romanov!

I just hope that one day Russia will restore its Imperial past led by Romanov dynasty ❤️❤️❤️ from the Philippines

Your royal highness!!! A big reverence...you seem very familiar...💜

The Jordanville Monastery in the U.S.A. with Fr Luke who is Abbot and Bishop of Syracuse holds in great esteem this family and its heritage as do all Russian Orthodox churches and its people outside of Russia. ( ROCOR) has a museum with many items from that time which I know is hard to need to remember. He would love to meet this family and perhaps has? It is a Church as well as a Monastery and Seminary or University for Monks/Priests. My husband's and my church. Have had lockdown with the Pandemic, and it has been very hard the last several months. My husband's godfather ( My honorary godfather) is a Priest and originally from Greece. Both Priests are also teachers of the seminary in the U.S. It was terrible what happened to this family during this rule and Bolsheviks reign and pray never would something like this happen to the people ever again. I know the churches outside and the homeland have merged as of 2007 May, and hope it is honored.

In my heart Maria Vladimirovna is the tsaritsa of Russia, and I, here in Sweden, really wish her and her family all well. Actually she is also of partly Swedish descent. I think that a lot indicates that Paul I really WAS the biological son of Peter III (and recognized by Peter IIII as his son, allthough Catherine II had 3 other children outside marriage, of whom one of them, a daugher named Anna, was refered to by Peter as not being his biological daughter). If I´m right, as Peter III was a grandsons son of Karl XI of Sweden, king 1660-1697, the russian imperial house is through that line also of Swedish descent. (By the way Maria Vladimirovna is also related to our present Swedish king Carl XVI Gustaf, in the way that his grandfathers grandmothers grandmother was Maria Pavlovna, daugheter of tsar Paul I. LONG LIVE both the russian imperial Romanov House and our Swedish Royal House. :-)

HRH. Grand Duchess Maria, 👏🌹🙏 Greeting from Nepal !!! 🇳🇵Hail Nepal !!!

She seems like she’d be fascinating to talk to, especially over dinner and drinks.

Thank you for enlightening myself. This makes more sense. I need the glue to this puzzle. Question, why is there a Media for a Principal? Why has the Principal lived in darkness within Nature and blue seas?Why are the Principal made to feel all energy from past, present, and future?

Bendita sejam , que serão devidamente referenciados, Amém

Mr Putin, you have been an amazing leader and highly respected by us men of good will. The Christian world begs you ,please restore the Imperial family to their Rightful place, on the throne of Russia. Show the world that Christian monarchy and Christendom will never disappear because God wills it. DEVS VVLT Long live the Tsar!!!

I’m Alive maria . You will never destroy us.

Good morning Your Highness!🕊️🕊️🕊️💜

Кириллу Владимировичу он помог революционерам, предоставив в их распоряжение свое вооруженное подразделение гвардии. Запрет на въезд в Россию, лишение звания флигель-адъютанта, увольнение со службы, лишение всех средств, находящихся на российских счетах. Титул великого князя - единственное, что оставили Кириллу Владимировичу. намеренное участие в заговоре против императора или поддержка заговора исключали возможность претендента в занятии российского престола. Бесславные потомки, не может занимать должность в России. В дни Февральской революции Кирилл Владимирович, вместо поддержки Государя, стал первым членом Императорской фамилии, перешедшим на сторону новой власти. Как бы ни трактовали его поступок современные апологеты, факт остается фактом, ‒ нарушив присягу, Великий князь привел вверенный ему Гвардейский экипаж к Таврическому дворцу и предложил свою часть в распоряжение революционной Думы. 8 марта 1917 года Временное правительство отдало приказ об аресте Николая II и его семьи. Вскоре Кирилл Владимирович выехал в Финляндию. В событиях Гражданской войны он участия не принимал. Он был трусом! Кирилл Владимирович вел переговоры с некоторыми немецкими генералами, но безуспешно. Несомненно поспособствовал торжеству революции. Очередной акт предательства! Кроме того в ряде большевистские газет появились «интервью» Великих князей Кирилла Владимировича и Николая Михайловича, где они самым недостойным образом порочили отрекшегося Царя. Без возмущения нельзя было читать эти интервью! Очередной акт предательства! Кириллу Владимировичу: «Самопровозглашения» не поддержали ни вдовствующая Императрица Мария Федоровна, ни РОВС генерала П.Н. Врангеля, ни Высший монархический совет, ни большинство церковных иерархов. Его поступок 1 марта 1917 года, когда долг присяги требовал от него защиты рушившегося на глазах самодержавия, несомненно поспособствовал торжеству революции. Свадьба Кирилла: Николай II узнал о венчании в Тегернзее за сутки до приезда Кирилла Владимировича в Петербург. Весть о Свадьба Кирилла вызвала у него глубокое возмущение, ведь он дважды нарушил закон: династический (пренебрег запретом царя) и церковный (женившись на двоюродной сестре). Очередной акт предательства! Мария Владимировна: У них и так в состав крови добавилась Грузинская - что было Запрещено до Революции а значит тоже нарушение Закона ! И вообще они не имеют право жить Как продолжители Романовского рода в России. Потомки Кириллу Владимировичу не имеют права на престол России и не могут быть великими князьями или великими княжнами. Эта семья исключена законом "Земский собор". Исключены из Императорского Дома, потому что это так предусмотрено императорским законом, статья о вероломстве.

I don't know... she's kinda giving me this Imelda Macros vibes. God knows what she's gonna do if they got the throne back.

Great Saturday. It great too me you Royal majestic

H.I.H. Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna, Head of the Russian Imperial House, should have, after the soviet break , had a small window of opportunity to establish a constitutional monarchy again in the early 90s, just like England has today. I think there is a chance again today this decade.

Nicolas was an imperfect ruler, but he did not deserve the slander the bolshies heaped on him throughout his reign. They vilify their enemy.. set them up for assas I nation .. and as Maria states: it all must be in context. Propaganda is a powerful tool, which is why we see same now in US. Same ppl, same tactics, new century. And no, Nicolas was never formally charged or tried by the illegitimate gov, but he certainly received their fatal sentencing.

Her Imperial Majesty, Tsarina Maria

The Provisional government and the allies should have sent Tsar Nicholas II and his family to Napoleon's place of exile St.Helena. This would have prevented any counter revolution but also kept them under the safety of the British garrison.

The true head of the family is the descendants of Olga..

She does babble on so. Instead of straining to be so politic perhaps she could have simply tried responding directly to the muddled queries.

Sometimes when we use the word rehabilitated it places a negative connotation onto the situation when that’s not what was intended. Therefore, if we used another word to describe the situation, like simply stating that they would be recognized for their evolution and evolving as a whole, then it states the reality of the situation and allows others to understand that they weren’t bad in the first place as well as they are still open minded today, enough to evolve.

Уважаемые господа, МЫ наследники от Вел. Кн. Анастасии. Не было отречения, от Бога не отрекаются. Не было расстрела, это инсценировка большевиков. Анастасия, венчалась в семье родилось 9 детей, усыновила, племянника 14 г.р. ( названный сын Вел Кн. Елизаветы Федоровны). К сожалению Анатолий погиб в 43 г. во время ВОВ.

Her voice is so intimidating....very deep and there is a raspy tone in it...

The great big duchess!

She’s so likable. Really lovely...

You are an Empress!

I have a hundred times more respect for any bricklayer, plumber, woodworker and electrician than this Royal Highness bag of Wind.

I'm really happy. Because I'm knew there are a Romanov family Still alive 😭😭❤️. Fack to the Soviet.

With all due respect to Her Imperial Highness, Vladimir Putin wants to be Tsar, hence why he forces the Russian Parliament to extend his Presidency

It the interesting what She will tell us now after so many years since the time when this interview was taken?

She will NEVER be Tsarevna (Russian for female Empress). I THINK it was Peter the Great who changed the laws so that NO woman could ever be Tsarevna again because of Catherine the Great. History tells that Nicholas II shortly before the revolution went to the Duma because he KNEW that Alexei would not at that time live past 16. He went to the Duma to find ANY way to change the law as so that Olga Nickolaevna could succeed him. This could law could NOT be rescinded even by another Tsar, which is a pity because Olga knew the situation of Russia unlike ANY others, including her mother. When Rasputin was murdered, Olga was upset, but it is said she said privately (obviously not to her mother) “Although I am upset by this, perhaps it is the best for the country”.She would have made the BEST Tsarevna I believe.

Почему без перевода на русский ?

God saves the Grand Duchess..

As an American I've thought it would be nice to have an official representative that encompasses all people. Our political parties divide us more and more and it's a little frightening to think of where that could take us. The British monarchy is not political, or even allowed to be so. They bring in tons of money for important causes, plus tourism money. I wonder where the Russians stand on this today.

Merry Christmas and Happy healthy prosporous New Year

There is a huge difference between someone claiming succession and someone rightfully making a claim to succession. This woman is neither, she is in fact a "pretender" to succession which by the very term establishes her claim is that of "pretender" having no valid claim. Her claim establishes a totally new category, fraudulent.

So Interesting. Well Damn Russia, if you’re going to have an autocracy, this is the woman to do it. I like her a lot. Much more intelligent a woman than the baffon you currently court:..

She is half Georgian. And looks typical Georgian like her mother. Her son is not a Romanov but a Hohenzollern. Her family betrayed His Imperial Majesty Nicolas II. Also her family served Hitler .

❤❤❤
