Dear Russia,
It's a bit offensive how you find all of us Americans stupid or on the latter are amazed that we are smart. If this eases you by any chance, I'm around 40% Russian. Give or take a few numbers.
So I was thinking about the Romanov's today, because I'm just really intrigued by it plus the British Royal wedding is approaching; but I thought how their murder affected you. It must hurt to kill your royal family, yes?
With your whole become one thing, I'd be happy to. Although Belarus would have to as well. Rethinking it yet?
Sincerely,
Mia
Dear Mia,
Privyet little child~ Of course I do not assume all Americans are being stupid, because I know many my lovely children mingled there. It is stereotype, child, one proven by Alfred's irrational and sometimes idiotic behavior. Not all Russians are communist, but do not deny that most think of that word as soon as they think of Russia.
I…debated answering this. It is very very personal. But I know you mean no harm. So…
When a country changes such as I did, we sometimes like saying we are 'reborn'. England was reborn from his monarchy ruled self to having Parliament, China went from his old ancient styles to more modern. I changed twice in previous decade, and the Romanov's deaths led to Soviet Union able to establish. So no, it didn't hurt. It literally killed me. The bullets felt as if they were going through me, not through each member of royal family. I was dying, no longer my tsarist-based self. Often times it is a longer process, this 'death'…but mine was quick, and it was painful.
And that is not getting into the emotional aspects. Peter was a great man—he abdicated self just for his people, though he was supposed to have ultimate power! Yes…he called for much bloodshed…but it was unavoidable in those times. Alix was pretty women and compassionate mother. All their children were special…but I cry for Alexei and Anastasia most. Alexei was…tragic, his disease, and his sister was…special to me. She had the kind of face you can not say no to.
…you can be on your own, that is fine…no desire to be one with Belarus…at all…
Signed,
Mother Russia~
