Reason WHY Russian royalty lives in 1930s Europe


Briefly, any royals or nobility from Russia FLED to escape the Communists. Usually, any known royal person would be murdered or imprisoned...

Therefore, you would find members of the Romanov royal family scattered in free countries..and maybe---if they were unable to carry any wealth out (like jewelry, etc.) you might find a Royal Doorman.....in 1930s Europe or elsewhere.

Stupid!?! I never called you stupid! To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people!

Ilyinsky said, "Gentlemen, I could not be more pleased and flattered at your invitation, but I must tell you that I am entirely satisfied with my present occupation."
