* * Oh, * *
The last years of the life of Mikołaj II and his household are a fascinating and highly tragic story, in which yet “our friend” or Griszka Rasputin appears, and ends the communicative of Yakov Jurowski. present that time is mostly a legend. Black and disgusting, yet fascinating writers and artists. Yes, it is besides a phenomenon for historians and publicists. But of the murderer of the Tsaric household all, and especially the faithful of their correctness of the West, like not to remember. In December of this year it will be equal to a 100 years since the execution of Rasputin, which for the time being I do not know which will reconstruct the memory of the uniqueness of the career of a Siberian peasant from the village of Pokrowskoje. In 2018, we will celebrate the century of execution at Ipatiev's house. Rasputin and Jurowski are key figures of the last fewer months of the life of Nicholas II and the agony of that Russia. Rasputin was for this ruler only a “family matter” to which others should not interfere. For then politicians from left to right, he was a symbol of evil, depravity, and the fall of the last years of pre-last regulation from the rulers of Russia (the last, for 1 day, was his brother Michael). To this day, despite many attempts to decently examine Rasputin's political role, we repeat the evil, despicable image of his place in history. He besides has citizenship in our Polish consciousness. First a fewer words about his function in the Russian past. Bolsheviks were needed as a symbol of the fall of the “tsaric governments”: even serious books reproduce caricatures published in the then “opposition press” depicting Rasputin as an all-powerful monster who directs puppets of the then rulers of Russia. Yes – it is terrible, diabolical and disgusting. Santa II is nothing – a ridiculous, contemptible puppet. So is his wife. They don't deserve mercy. This is besides to justify the execution in Yekatierinburg, which occurred in mid-July 1918 at the hands of Jurowski and his people. fewer people want to remember that these caricatures were created for money that flowed to the “revolutionaries” offices, not only from cayzer Germany, but besides from American banks. Tens of millions of brands and dollars, or billions of euros today. It is besides actual that without the execution in the palace over Mojka, owned by Felix Jusupov, there would be no punishment in the performance of Jaków Jurowski and no 1 knew the home of Ipatiev in the city, which was later called Świdłowski.

The West besides amazingly agrees with the Bolshevik explanation of those events, including the imagination and sense of the coup, later called the October Revolution. Reading and listening (in Polish) to the world-renowned historian Richard Pipes, it is hard to defy the impression that between the “radical” and the “western” version of that time there are no large differences. Griszka Rasputin in her peasant boots and with long, of course dirty hair, is very needed here. For Bolsheviks, he symbolized the “dark”, disgusting Russia they wanted to destroy. And they did. They very much needed Rasputin's "conchachts" with the Church due to the fact that it was meant to be a symbol of her fall and depravity. After all, Orthodoxy besides had to be completely destroyed so that the Russians could replace the “Soviet man”. The West besides needed and I think it inactive needs a rasputin legend. She fears Russia, her rebirth and her strength. He was besides afraid of Bolshevikism, but he could communicate with him due to the fact that he created it himself. He was most pleased with the Yeltsinian sadness: the filthy, drunken Rasputin is to symbolize the past time, to which Russia should not return. Why? If "then" were ruled by people like this? Everything then and everyone deserved nothing but contempt. And Jurowski was only a "tool of the social revolution", which had to wipe out (historical determinism) that Russia.
The alleged killer, the husband of Santa's niece II, Duke of Jusupov, a postgraduate of Oxford, a bisexual and a actual “worldman”, survived for decades his sacrifice and his world, which he actually destroyed. Jurowski just finished it. He escaped from Russia aboard a British cruiser, won trials with movie labels filming the killing of Rasputin, and was then quietly prepared by Nazi Germans to be a puppet ruler defeated for the second time by Russia during the second large wars. So he collaborated with Germany, even though he murdered Rasputin as a "German spy". Another murderer, the large Duke of Dmitri Pavlovich, later made a career in the British army, for Russia to forget (was he always “Russian”?), even though Nicholas II saw him as his successor. Włodzimierz Puryszkiewicz – a conservative deputy to the last Duma, the 3rd of the alleged assassins, survived Rasputin only by little than 4 years. We know small about the future destiny of Lieutenant Suchotin and Pole – Stanisław Łazowert, a doctor who was to poison the cakes given to Griszce that night. present we already know that the real killers were officers of British intelligence, they organized this murder, and the authoritative characters of the drama served only a shameful function of useful fools. individual late compared Rasputin's execution to Paul I's execution in 1801. The attack was besides organized by British intelligence, due to the fact that Catherine's boy dealt with the then enemy of London – revolutionary France. We know much little about the further destiny of members of the firing squad, which was commanded by Yakov Jurowski: this is simply a alternatively delicate matter, due to the fact that there was only 1 Russian there, and among the erstwhile AustroHungarian POWs there was most likely a hero of the free planet in 1956 -Imre Nagy.

This may be the answer to the question of what were the bloody nights in the basement of the palace of Jusupov, and later besides in the basement of the Ipatiev house: these were the average everyday imperial, in fact the bandit politics of states which, in the name of their interests, not only murdered political opponents, changed another governments, removed rulers and ordinary, unimportant "people" standing—in fact or only in their opinion—in their way. Their most crucial goal was to destruct Russia.
Was Griszka Rasputin a “German spy”? There's no evidence of that. The British murderers and their superiors, on the another hand, were expected to take all positions in the authorities of His Majesty's Government, which was to enter into separatist peace with Germany during the Second large War, this time ruled by the Nazis. That's what British historians and publicists say. Paradox? Only seemingly: The United Kingdom ruled and ruled for 300 years by the German dynasty (Saxen-Coburg), for which the state of war with the German states was something artificial, almost unnatural. Both planet wars, which put up the United Kingdom and equally united Germany on 2 sides of the barricade, ended in disaster for both sides. What does that gotta do with the heroes of this story? In spite of appearances, a lot. Rasputina was murdered in the name of British interests, which were contrary to the well-being of Russia: in their imagination defeated or weakened by Russian blood and money Germany was to enter into a "honorable peace" with Albion. However, Rasputin's execution had the other effect: it opened the way to power for the Bolsheviks who made humiliating peace in Brest, relieved from the east front of dozens of German divisions, then thrown into a fight against the French, British and Americans. This did not change the result of the war, but extended it by at least six months. It is highly likely that the execution at the Palace in Moscow opened the way for February and October revolutionaries and later buried the "monarchical" and "eternal" concept of power in Europe forever. possibly that was erstwhile the 19th century ended, due to the fact that at the hands of the degenerate elites, led by abroad interviews, the remnants of the importance of the “world of thrones and altars” were destroyed.
However, Yakov Jurowski was, although not in a literal sense, a German agent: he followed orders from a criminal government that created and financed German intelligence. Their powers knew well that Bolshevikism should be replaced in the long word by people who had better legitimacy than Bolsheviks. Wilhelm II suggested that the fresh Brzeski Peace should be signed by Nicholas, who was no longer the formal ruler of this country. This was a death conviction for him and his family, which was executed by Yakov Jurowski.
After a 100 years, we returned to this world. Griszka will become what he was to be: to justify our contempt for Russia. And fear of a demon. This is to replace the rational judgement of our relation with Russia. Even the current president of this country is to be Ras-Putin, awakening not only over the Vistula but aversion and contempt. We are to fear the reborn Russia, anti-shambrate in Berlin's cabinets and pull ourselves up in our Europeanness. And to believe that only full submission and dependence on the West is simply a warrant of our independence. So, after a 100 years, small has changed. There will besides be fresh books and films about Rasputin. The Jakov Jurowski West will stay silent. This murderer and his crew don't match modern anti-Russian narrative. So we did not see a high-profile movie about the torturers themselves and the political scenes of this crime. The order for its execution came from the Council of People's Commissioners in Moscow, and the farce held at its gathering the day after the assassination was only intended to hide the actual commanders. Killing Russian rulers for abroad money already has its shameful history. mostly those who acted in her interest died. past written by the West has already issued multiple sentences on Rasputin, but indirectly justifies Jurowski. present I realize why.
