Russian Beauty, Titanic and Revolution

In 1905, British journalist William Stead went to Russia to try to reconcile conservatives and revolutionaries. While there he was entranced by a Russian beauty. Her great-granddaughter, Tatyana Tolstaya, tells the story of a relationship cut off before it began, Stead's death on the Titanic - and a war that was not averted.

Would have to tap up my sister to be sure but i believe it would have been his dad or maybe grandad that used to race the yachts with the king pre 1900s.

Nah, Cinci has been consistent in this story for years now. Very much doubt he is lying.

It is genuine.

Also had family involved in the case of the cabin boy getting eaten after thirty odd days adrift. Case being did they kill him or was he already dead, a case still used in law schools.

Those old-timers certainly had a way with words. You could give me a week and I still wouldn't be able to come up with a love letter half as impressive as that.

Top article.
