re: #160 Sergey Romanov

Anastasia’s bones are buried in St.Petersburg. Makes the whole legend darkly ironic.

Wait—did you know about the whole thing with the German factory worker who claimed to actually be Anastasia? It went on during the Soviet era, so you might never have heard about it.

It’s largely why the cartoons and the legends fixate on Anastasia.
