[quote]Nikolai has an H in it?! Shows how much I don’t know.”[/quote]

I realise that this is an old post, but for anyone who is curious as to why this is, there is a simple explanation:
It doesn’t really matter how “Nikolai” is spelled in the Roman alphabet, since it is a transcription from the Cyrillic alphabet spelling “Николай.” The pronunciation is most important. However, I believe that the Roman spelling of Nikolai is generally used most often.

I remember reading the last will and statement some time ago but i doubt the part that mentions something like……. ‘Three times twenty five years….’. Would you check, Josh , as to the date of publishing of the book you are referring. If the book is really printed before the fall of the soviet union, the man would really be of some sort…. a mystic..?

Yeah, the Tsarina at least was aware of it. After his death she cut off all contact with the extended family, never left the house, and more or less gave up on keeping up the facade of the good, duty-driven Tsarina who is always happy and never too tired to host society (something she'd never been good at before anyways). She also stopped pushing her husband to be the 'strong father' tsar as it was now to her an obvious lost cause.

She took this letter very seriously, and though I believe the actual letter was made known to her after Rasputin's death, Rasputin had mentioned similar things to the Tsarina and Nicholas before. She was also very aware of how hated he was, and he'd nearly been killed before in an assassination attempt.

Three times twenty five years will the black bandits, servants of the antichrist, destroy the people of Russia and the faith of the Orthodox (church).

Interesting - the USSR did last about 75 years - 1917 to 1992 (or was it 1991? 1990?)

I'm curious, when was this letter presented to the Tsar and Tsarina? Was it prior to his death? Did the Royal Couple respond to this letter at all? I have read that it was found by his secretary, Simonovich. I've attempted to research the secretary but have found very little information about him. I would be grateful for any information concerning the above questions.

Thank You

Ok – antichrist is certainly a hyperbola, but Stalin did almost destroy the church. Besides it doesn’t say that antichrist will come to Russia – you could interpret it to mean Hitler, and since WWII did incredible damage to Russia, he is relevant.

Destruction of the Russian people – that works under “end of Russia, beginning of USSR” or alternatively “end of USSR and the splitting of former Russia into independent republics”.

“…not one nobleman will be left in Russia…” – certainly true. Under communist regime all former noblemen lost their ranks and land. In fact after the revolution, the former land owners all had to give up their land. As a result – there were no noblemen left in Russia. Furthermore the former noblemen were shunned, imprisoned, etc, etc ad nauseum.

So indeed the prophecy works out – if it is a genuine document.

Boy, talk about rubbish. Most of the "hits" are vague. It is easy to retrofit historical events to such tripe. The "arrival of the antichrist" is either Lenin or Stalin?

( If, indeed, this is even a genuine document. It does not smell right to me.)

JustAnotherName said: "Isn't he the one they killed by tieing him up and pushing him under ice into frigid water and he wouldn't drown for many hours or days or whatever?"

Look at the other article about Rasputin - that's him, alright. Nikolai has an H in it?! Shows how much I don't know.
