Nicholas II of Russia: little-known facts of life. Борис Романов

Russia, while he personally would lose everything.

      Detailed exposition

      The last Russian Emperor Nicholas II was born in 1868, murdered in 1918…

      His biography seems to have been studied through the length and breadth, but the farther we get away from the events of those days, the more secrets history reveals to us… So many obstacles of the life of the last Russian Emperor are extremely unusual and enigmatic till now. I decided to tell you about them here.

      1891

      In 1890-91, Prince Nicholas travelled in the East. He visited Egypt, India, Burma (Myanma), Indonesia, and China. In Japan, an old guardian of the Russian cemetery told him about a famous Japanese hermit, monk Terakuto: this monk was able to read people’s fates. He lived not far from Kyoto.

      Visiting Kyoto was in Nicholas’s plan for Japan.

      On April 28, escorted by Greek Prince George and interpreter Marquis Ito, Nicholas met with Terakuto.

      Marquis Ito quoted two of Terakuto’s prophesies in his memoirs.

      The first: “The danger is lingering over your head, but the death will step back, wherefore a cane will be stronger than a sword… and the cane will then shine and glitter.” The second: “Great sorrows and convulsions are apprehending you and your country. You will be fighting for everyone, and everyone will be against you. Beautiful flowers grow at the edge of an abyss, but their poison is pestiferous: children long to the flowers and fall down into the abyss if they do not listen to their Father… There is no sacrifice blessed more than the one you made for your entire people… I see tongues of fire above yours and your family’s heads…”

      A few days after this meeting with Terakuto, an attempt on Nicholas’s life was made in the town of Otsu.

      …Policeman Tsuda Sandzo pulled out his samurai sword and hit Nicholas on his head twice. Greek Prince George saved Nicholas’s life having deflected the third blow aside with his cane. Rickshaws seized and disarmed the assailant.

      (Later on) by order of Alexander III the cane that had played such an outstanding role was decorated with adamants and given back Prince Gtorge.

      As Terakuto had predicted, “the cane turned out to be stronger than the sword, and the cane started shining with glitter…” The first of the two prophecies came true.

      For a few days, Nicholas remained sad… But he was only 23, and his melancholy could not last long… It is hard to believe that he was able to perceive the gist of the second prophecy at the time…

      1896-1898

      …Five years passed. They embraced his father’s death (Alexander III), his marriage to Hessian Princess Alice, the official coronation in Moscow, and numerous peoples’ deaths during the coronation festivities at the Khodynka Field…

      By the way, according some data, the mass stampede took place not only at Khodynka Field in Moscow in 1896, but also earlier – at Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria in London (in 1887): in the memoirs of Russian general Kuropatkin (due to the "Khodynka" in May 1896 in Moscow), we read: "The Duke of Edinburgh said that during the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the reign of Queen Victoria had 2,500 people were killed and several thousand injured and no one was embarrassed." (Nikolai II: Memoirs. Diaries. St. Petersburg., 1994. pp. 47-48.) Alexei Kouropatkin. From the diaries 1896. May 19. However, perhaps these memories is not correct, and there had mean not the 50^th anniversary of the reign of Queen Victoria, but a mass stampede in 1883 in Sunderland (UK), where in the distribution of gifts to children in the concert hall "Victoria Hall" were killed 183 children

      However, back in 1896. In August 1896, three months after the coronation, Nicholas II and Alexandra with their baby daughter Olga went for an extended European tour paying official and private visits to the august lords of Europe. In September, they arrived to the coast of Scotland. Queen Victoria (Grand Mother of the Russian Empress) was waiting for them in the Balmoral Castle.

      Here Nicholas had received his second prophecy, this time from English Count Louis Hamon (also known as famous predictor Cheiro). The Prince of Wales passed the text of this prophecy to Nicholas.

      Cheiro had predicted the future to monarchs, ministers, many famous people from Europe and America. In particular, he had predicted many events (including the dates of deaths) to Queen Victoria of Britain and the Prince of Wales (the future King of England), as well as the attempt on the life of the Persian Shah.

      Long before the Titanic’s catastrophe, Hamon had predicted this tragedy.

      Here is the gist of his prediction for Nicholas II:

      “Whoever the man was that these numbers represented, would be haunted all his life by the horrors of war and bloodshed; that he would do his utmost to prevent it, but that his Destiny was so intimately associated with such things, that his name would be bound up with some of the most far-reaching and bloodiest wars that had ever been known, and that in the end he would lose all he loved most by sword or strife in one form or another.”
