THE DAY OF GRIEF AND IRRECONCILABILITY

You may read this news with photos following this link.

On 7 November all over the world Russians of different ages and social status remember the Day of Grief and Irreconcilability, the following anniversary of October coup-d’état of 1917, when communists seized power in Russia. More than 30 million people in Russia became victims of the communists’ regime from 1917 to 1991, including the time of the Lenin’s repressions, the Stalin’s repressions, the repressions which were continued after Stalin’s death in 1953.
On 7 November 2009 the Russian Imperial Union-Order organised in Saint Petersburg at 12 p.m. requiem service near the grave of cadet Vladimir Alexandrovich, who was killed by communists on 12 November 1917 trying to resist to the coup-d’état. Then at 3 p.m. at the Trinity Square the demonstration was held. The Russian Imperial Union-Order and other anticommunists’ organisations directed their petition to the PACE and the OSCE. In the petition Russian monarchists propose to proclaim 7 November the International Day to Remember the Victims of Communism.
The same day in Moscow the Russian Imperial Union-Order and the party “Great Russia” organised the conference “Did the Tsar abdicate?” More than 120 came to participate in the conference. The participants discussed whether the abdication act of Tsar Nicolas II was a forgery or the Tsar signed the act himself. In discussion arguments pro et contra both versions were announced. Even if the act was signed by the Tsar himself, that act was illegal and had no judicial power. The main idea of the conference was to pay attention that the Tsar didn’t stop to serve to the monarchical idea and didn’t betray Russia and the oath of 1613. Now there are a lot of people in Russia, who remember about the self-sacrifice of the Saint Tsar and are ready to serve to His Legal Heirs, now, the Head of the Russian Imperial House Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna.

II Monarchy Forum

THE SECOND MONARCHY FORUM IN HECHINGEN, GERMANY

On 23 October 2009 in Hechingen, Germany, the Second Monarchy Forum, organised by the German Monarchists Society, starts. Participants from different lands of Germany as well as from France, Austria, and Czech state came to Hechingen.
In the beginning of the Forum greetings from the Russian Imperial Union-Order to the Forum was read by Mr Andreas Haas:

Dear friends!
The Russian Imperial Union-Order, the oldest and largest Russian monarchist organisation, established 80 years ago, is very glad to greet the Second Monarchy Forum in Hechingen, Germany.
The German and Russian people have a common history which is full not only of sad pages, but also, and more importantly, of bright examples of cooperation and collaboration. A lot of German specialists served the Russian monarchy from the 17th to the 20th century. Today our countries are experiencing a difficult situation of a systematic crisis of spiritual values, ideology, and economy. To overcome this crisis our people need to tear up by the roots the mistaken ideals of the last several decades and to return to the Tradition which was has proven itself throughout centuries and which was developed under the wise rule of our Emperors.
We sincerely hope that your forum will be one of brilliant possibilities to underline that monarchists can propose real alternatives to republican rule, that Monarchy is the only real future for the history of our countries.
The Russian Imperial Union-Order wishes the forum to work successfully and hopes for further effective collaboration with German monarchists.
With Imperial regards,
George A. Fedoroff,
Commander of the RIU-O


The Forum will work to 25 October 2009.
