Holy Bitch Diary: August 13th, 2023

šŸ“–August 13, 2023

šŸ¦ˆThere is such an old riddle: Isabella, walking with her husband Ferdinand, met Christopher, who, by the way, was the grandfather of the wife of the only son of the mother-in-law of her only sister. Who was Christopher to Ferdinand and Isabella?

In dynastic family relationships, especially hereditary monarchs, situations often arise when the same person can be one of his relatives at the same time as a brother, an uncle, and a grandfather. This is due to dynastic marriages, which were always concluded within the same circle of families. Family ties in dynastic genealogies are much stronger due to the multiple lines of kinship that exist in relation to each other among members of dynastic clans. Breaking such ties is very difficult, since all genuine monarchical dynasties are held together by strong ties of multi-lineage blood relationship. This determines the specifics of serial regicide: the murder of one of the testators or heirs does not solve the problem in any way, it is required to cut out the entire genus. Killing only one heir or testator only changes the order of succession. When I recalled the story of how my grandmother Bagration, the daughter of Princess Elena Alexandrovna Volkonskaya-Rakhmanova and Prince Roman Ivanovich Bagration, objected, to put it mildly, to the marriage of her son - my dad, to my mother, I said that marriage with the dynasty cosa nostra was never desired by the crown princes. But this story would be incomplete without a final juicy detail. It, in fact, partly explains all the intensity of passions around my family, and why there is such a tough batch around four clans: Tolstoy, Romanovs, Goerings, Bagrations. My grandmother Bagration was outraged by the marriage of my dad, the grandson of Mikhail Ilyich Tolstoy and Elena Lvovna Kochubey, not only the ears of a satire in my mother, and the name "thief." She could put up with the name Tatyana, she could tolerate the goat ears of a daughter-in-law and future great-grandchildren. But my grandmother Bagration, a Hasidic Jew, could not come to terms with her family relationship with Hermann Goering. For several months I have been poring over the literature on the Nuremberg Tribunals, the Second World War, and other related narrow issues, and I must say that the demonization of Goering has no real basis. Just a special case of regicide in our family. One out of many. Actually, this is the last Muirfiltel rabbit, whose direct descendant is currently writing these lines.

I hope this removes all remaining questions regarding my last names and first names. I do not feel embarrassed to wear the invented name Gƶring, which directly attributes me to the Third Reich. I am not embarrassed by my family, and knowing its history and the history of the Nuremberg trials, I think that the story about this, supported by real deeds in the direction of an objective assessment of this legal act, is a direct responsibility of me, as a member of the family, smeared in this trial.
